More than 50 individuals packed the council chambers Tuesday night – some were for the Village Commons development, some were against it, and some worked for Ron Clark, the land owner and developer.
At one point the discussion got so heated that Mayor Janet
Williams called for a break and City Administrator Barry Stock requested police offi cer presence to monitor tension that was brew-ing between several neighbors and Planning Commissioner Bob Coughlen after he expressed his support for the project and ques-tioned the neighbors’ opposition.
“A police officer’s presence often times has a way of calming the situation,” said Stock.
Ultimately, after three-and-a-half hours of review by Ron Clark’s staff, public comment and council deliberation, the council voted 3-2 to approve Clark’s re-quest for a Comprehensive Plan amendment to reclassi fy the 14-acre parcel behind Rainbow Foods from commercial to mixed- use zoning.

Savage’s own United NationsFamily hosts students from around globeBY MERYN FLUKER
Olivia Jonasen is an only child. Sort of.
“It hasn’t been too ‘only,’” says her
mother Linda.Linda and her husband,
Olivia’s father Jack, have eight children between them: Olivia, and the seven foreign exchange students the family has hosted over the past eight years.
Consequently, Olivia says, “I don’t really remember what it’s like to be an only child.”
The Jonasens’ family tree appears more like a passport than a genealogical
chart, counting students from France, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Germany and Brazil on its branches. While they may not be blood relatives, the students were all Jonasens from the second they stepped into the family’s Savage home.
“You kind of have to treat them as a family member right away because you don’t want a guest in your house for 11 months,” Linda said.

Police issue alert after bedroom break-inBY ALEX HALL
A fter a man al legedly broke into a young child’s bedroom in the middle of the night, the Savage Police Department issued a public safety warning to parents and other residents of Savage on Sept. 6 advis-ing them to take extra precautions in protecting their families.
No description of the suspect is available at this time.
The warning comes one week after a similar incident in which a chair was found under the window of a child’s bedroom and the window screen was removed. No evidence of entry was found in that case.
“Parents are being advised to secure their homes and supervise their children closely as the Savage Police Department investigates a report of a suspicious person near the 4400 block of West 137th Street,” read the warning.
“At noon today (Tuesday, Sept. 6), the Savage Police Department received a report that a child awoke during the previous night and saw an unknown person in their bedroom. The screen window of the child’s bedroom had been removed.
“‘We are aggressively investi-gating these incidents and have increased patrol of the affected area,’ said Capt. Dave Muelken. He stressed that parents should lock their home’s windows and doors at all times, walk their children to and from school, and should not leave their children unsupervised.
“The Police Department is also asking for the public’s help as of-fi cers continue their investigation. Anyone who has information that they think could be related to these incidents is asked to call the Savage Police Department at (952) 882-2600. Residents should call 911 imme-diately if they witness suspicious activity in progress.”
On Thursday, the Pioneer Press reported that a Burnsville woman awoke to fi nd a man entering her bedroom door early that morning. However, Muelken said on Friday that the incident actually occurred on July 6, not Sept. 8.
In that incident, which happened at a home in the 13700 block of Wel-lington Crescent in Burnsville, about three miles from where Tues-day’s incident occurred, the suspect gained entry by cutting the screen of an open window. The woman only saw a silhouette of a man and could not provide a physical description.
Muelken said there are some “vague similarities” between the two cases and that they are working with the Burnsville Police Depart-ment, but that right now they don’t believe it is the same suspect.
Muelken said the best way for people to stay updated on this case and other cases that pose a threat to

CITY BRIEF
Hydrant, water-main flushing to continue through Sept. 20
The City of Savage Utility Services Department began fl ushing water mains and fi re hydrants on Tuesday, Sept. 6, and the work will continue for approximately two weeks.
The procedure is not ex-pected to cause any widespread discoloring of the water, but there may be isolated instances where it might occur. Because of this, residents are asked to check their water before wash-ing clothes.
RECOMMENDED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Klimers also suggested that fall is the ideal time of year for all homeowners to perform routine maintenance on their
home water system by perform-ing the following procedure:
1. If home has a water soft-ener, bypass it temporarily.
2. Open all cold water fau-cets, both inside and outside.
3. Fill the washing machine and fl ush the toilets.
4. Let the water run until it clears; this should take about 5-15 minutes.
5. Turn off all faucets, empty washing machine and put the water softener back in ser-vice.
By doing this, the velocity of the water through the lines will scour off the deposits that may have accumulated. Now is also the appropriate time to drain and fl ush the water heater.

avid Jr. and his sister Amy, can’t believe it has been 15 years since they opened their restaurant here in Savage.
“We started out as a small carry-out busi-ness and with such great support from the community, we were able to add to our dining room three years later,” he said.
His parents, David Sr. and Helen Fong, opened up David Fong’s in Bloomington in 1958. He says it’s been fun to watch customers, who as kids fi rst dined in Bloomington, now visit the Savage restaurant, often with families of their own.
“It’s also been great watching the whole community grow because Savage has expanded quite a bit since I fi rst opened the doors of my business,” David Jr. continued.
He has always been a strong supporter of local schools and continues to participate in local community events and festivals.
SHOP 360The Savage Chamber of Commerce Shop 360 ini-tiative is based on the phi-losophy that if you shop in your community, money spent locally, stays local – and that’s good for everyone.
In fact, a recent study found that 68 cents of every $1 spent with local merchants comes back to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures.
Remember: Support your community, shop local!

The council also voted 3-2 to approve the preliminary development plan for Village Commons.
The two votes paved the way for construction of a 48-unit apartment complex, 36 two-story townhomes and a 14,950-square-foot retail building with an anticipated construc-tion start date next spring.
REVIEW AND COMMENT
Staff and consultants for Ron Clark Construction and Design spent nearly an hour re-viewing the Village Commons preliminary development plan and making a case against the viability of the land for com-mercial development.
Clark brought in commer-cial “market experts,” includ-ing Michele Foster of Foster Real Estate, who was contacted by Clark at the beginning of September to “take a fresh look at the site.”
“The larger boxes and ju-nior boxes [retailers] were not attracted to this site even when the market was healthy,” Foster said, citing high retail vacancy rates throughout the city that have added to the challenging marketplace for commercial development.
Many of the neighbors who expressed their concerns at the Aug. 18 Planning Commission public hearing reiterated their comments for the city council. The overwhelming consensus from neighbors was that they wanted the property to remain commercially zoned. Some suggested that the economy “is turning,” and that with addi-tional marketing and signage, a commercial developer could be persuaded to invest in the property.
Others recommended that low-income senior housing could be built on the land; however, Clark has said that seven different senior housing groups were contacted and that current and proposed developments have created an “over-built environment” in Savage for senior housing, assisted living and skilled nursing care.
COUNCIL VIEWS
Councilman Al McColl said the Village Commons develop-ment is “probably the most controversial project” he’s had to vote on in his eight years serving on the city council.
“I’ve come to fi rmly believe this site has very limited poten-
tial,” McColl said, adding that he believed he would be doing a “disservice” if he didn’t vote to change the land-use designa-tion. “I fi rmly believe it’s going to be vacant for a long time.”
Councilman Gene Abbott disagreed. “I think we need to create jobs and people will come and live in the community if we have the jobs here,” he said, suggesting that the property remain a commercial site.
Councilwoman Jane Victo-rey expressed her passion for affordable housing and her support for the concept of work-force housing, but ultimately had “a real hard time support-ing a zoning change.”
Councilwoman Christine Kelly based her decision par-tially on the history of the property, and read minutes from a 1998 council meeting when many residents border-ing the property spoke out against a proposed commercial development.
“I would love for it to stay commercial, but my question is, how long can we wait to have this developed? I’m very con-cerned that we’ve been unable to attract any big box or junior box [retailer],” said Kelly.
With a split council, Mayor Janet Williams was left to cast the tie-breaking vote. She said the property “has been and continues to be a 20-year night-mare.”
Williams also said she was relying on the knowledge of city staff, who recommended a zoning change, as well as the unanimous recommendation of the Economic Development
Commission (EDC) to allow for the Village Commons develop-ment.
“How long does a taxpayer or property owner have to wait for a reasonable change to hap-pen?” Williams asked.
NEXT STEPS
The fi rst Village Commons concept plan came before the city council nearly a year ago and the city council denied Clark’s request for a change to the Comprehensive Plan in Feb-ruary. Since then, Clark’s team has scaled back on retail/offi ce space, reduced the number of apartment units and replaced an apartment building with two-story for-sale townhomes.
A fi nal development plan for Village Commons is expected to go before the city council in October, and Clark has yet to set a construction timeline for the project. “There’s a lot of administrative work to do,” he said.
Clark does expect that con-struction could start in the spring with a “long-shot pos-sibility” that some grading on the site could be done in the fall. The north-south roadway through the development would be constructed in the spring when the ground thaws.
Phase one, which includes the for-rent apartments and townhomes, would take ap-proximately 10-12 months to build.
“I’m extremely pleased. I feel deep down this is the right project for that area,” Clark said after the meeting. “It certainly fi ts the goals of the city.”
Public commentsMore than 20 individuals spoke out for and against the rezoning of the land and the Village Commons development. Here are some of the comments:
FOR
“I think the Village Commons could set off a domino eff ect. A quality place to live will attract quality workers. Quality workers will help quality businesses and quality businesses will help build a strong community.” Terry Funk – West 141st Street
“The employers in the area like Home Depot, like Target, Rainbow and Cub have employees of a younger age that need to get a foothold in the community and eventually buy houses in Savage.” Tim Ruff – Aspen Drive
AGAINST
“The developer bought land that they are not equipped and/or not willing to market and develop as it is zoned. It should not be the responsibility of this city or its residents to bail out the developer and sacrifi ce our commercial opportunities.” Sarah Okonski – Heatherton Ridge Drive
“What you’re getting ready to do is take away some of the last retail development space with this big area right before the wave comes.” Robert Thibodeaux – Ridgewood Lane
“There could be something wonderful back there waiting for all of us, yet to be developed.” Tim Ranagan – West Virginia Court

Volunteers in Police Service: A new way to serveWith helping hands, offi cers have more time to patrol streets and work on high-profi le cases BY ALEX HALL
In a time when economic woes have left companies and cities alike hurting for resourc-es, it seems like everybody is being forced to do more with less, and local police depart-ments are no exception. But while a company cutting back affects the pocketbook of those in the community, a police department cutting back can affect the safety of those in the community.
So how can a department cut back while still providing the protection and service that community m e m b e r s are accus-t ome d t o ? For the Sav-age Police Department, and police departments across the nation, the a n s we r i s clear: volun-teers.
“It ’s i n-valuable to a d e p a r t -ment,” Klap-perick said of the volun-teers’ work. “These vol-unteers can do so many t hi ngs for our depart-m e n t a n d our commu-nity. They help reduce costs and help the department function with less. And that’s the type of economy we’re in unfortu-nately, doing more with less.”
By having volunteers pick up the slack when it comes to paperwork and other admin-istrative duties, officers are given more time to patrol the streets and work on high-profi le cases.
“This is kind of the new reserves,” said Officer Kyle Klapperick, who serves as the volunteer coordinator. “It’s a more behind-the-scenes ap-proach to supplement and sup-port functions that are being done in police departments.”
In January, the Savage Police Department joined the Volun-teers in Police Service program, a national program started in 2002. The department had been looking into the program last summer, and after holding an informational meeting for resi-dents, they started accepting applications.
“Chief [Rodney] Seurer was really the driving force behind the program,” said Klapperick. “There were many functions around the department that could be supplemented by vol-unteers who want to fulfill a civic duty.”
JUST BEGINNING
So far the department has a team of nine volunteers. They mostly assist in administrative duties, such as entering cita-tions into the computer system. While that work is usually done
by the department’s adminis-trative staff, Klapperick says the volunteers free up those employees to take on higher-priority tasks.
“We used to have a stack of 100 tickets that needed to be filed, and that is important,” said Klapperick, “but when we have priority reports or people in custody and there’s secretari-al work that needs to be done [by a sworn employee] to make sure we’re going by state law and by policies of the county attorney’s office, those are more press-ing issues,” said Klapperick. “Now we can bring volunteers in to take a task like that off of
the secretar-ies who are pressured to make dead-lines in oth-er areas.”
R i g h t now, there are no spe-ci f ic posi-tions in the p r o g r a m and every-one basical-ly performs a variety of tasks. But that doesn’t m e a n t h e volunteers’ individual t a l e n t s aren’t tak-en into ac-count, said Klapperick. “For exam-ple, we have
one guy that’s really good in IT, and we have a project coming up where we’ll need a Powerpoint [presentation], so we’re going to go to him fi rst and say ‘Hey, could you help us with this?’”
Klapperick said the depart-ment has had retired folks ap-ply, younger kids coming out of college, working adults and everyone in between. The one thing they have in common? A desire to give back to the com-munity.
“The group of volunteers we have now are so eager, you can see the passion in them,” said Klapperick. “I get emails con-
stantly [asking] ‘What’s next? What can be done?’”
CONNECTING THE COMMUNITY
But not everything the vol-unteers do is behind-the-scenes. Klapperick said the volunteers (which those in the department refer to as “vips,” short for Vol-unteers in Police Service) are currently working on a business registry update so the depart-ment can make sure they have up-to-date contact information for all the city’s businesses in case of an emergency. Some of that work can be done over the phone, but often the volunteers will go to the business and talk with the owners in person.
The volunteers also partici-pate in community events like Night to Unite, Dan Patch Days and Kickin’ with the Cops, an annual game of kickball hosted by the department for kids in the community.
Klapperick said the work the volunteers do in the community can be just as important as the work they do in the offi ce, as the “vips” often act as a bridge between police and residents.
“A lot of times our uniform can kind of put up a barrier be-tween us and community mem-bers,” said Klapperick, “but [our volunteers] are out there in their volunteer uniform, if you will, spreading the message of the police department as a com-munity member to a community member.”
GETTING INVOLVED
The department isn’t accept-ing applications for any more volunteers right now, but Klap-perick anticipates that they will in the near future.
“We said we were going to start with this group and go forward really developing the program before we start bring-ing new recruits on board, just so we have a good foundation to start building for the future,” said Klapperick.
To be considered for the vol-unteer position, a person must be a resident of Savage, at least 21 years of age and have “an acceptable record to perform a public service/civic duty.”
“These volunteers can do so many things for our department and our community. They help reduce costs and help the department function with less. And that’s the type of economy we’re in unfortunately, doing more with less.”

BACK PACKSAFETY
What should I look for whenbuying a backpack for my child?Back packs can be a leading cause of back
and shoulder pain for millions of children. The American Spine Foundation and the Minnesota Chiropractic Association just published a report on backpack safety. Here are their tips to preventing unnecessary wear and tear on a child’s growing spine.
• Backpacks should have two wide, padded shoulder straps. Lugging a heavy pack by one strap can cause disproportionate stress on certain parts of the spine.
• The backpack should never be wider or longer than your child’s torso. It should never hang more than four inches below the waistline, as it will cause the child to lean forward when walking.
• Look for a backpack with a padded back, as it helps cushion and distribute the weight.
• Backpacks with several compartments are best. Try to place the heaviest objects closest to your child’s body
• A child should never carry more than 10% of their body weight. For example, a child who weighs 100 pounds shouldn’t carry a backpack heavier than 10 pounds.
One third of our patients are children. If you are interested in a free back pack fi tting for your child or a complimentary scoliosis check, please contact our offi ce.*e-mail your questions to: [email protected]

Randy Patrick of Savage stands with the American fl ag where it’s being fl own over Torkham Firebase near the top of Khyber Pass in Afghanistan in 2005-2006.
REMEMBERING 9/11
“You can’t appreciate Old Glory till you see it hanging on a broomstick on the shanty of a consul in a foreign town.” Henry Porter
On Sept. 11, 2001, my wife and I were working in Goražde, Bosnia; she for the Irish humanitarian organization, GOAL, and I for the United Nations International Police Task Force. Goražde was essentially a Muslim enclave. It was not unusual to be greeted enthusiastically by a Muslim resident who would praise America for leading the effort to “save” them from the mass murders that had occurred in nearby Srebrenica.
One morning, as I sat outside a coffee bar, I was approached by an old man leaving the local Mosque across the street. Seeing the American fl ag on my UN Police uniform, he effused praise and
thanks. Finally he leaned over and kissed the fl ag on my sleeve.
This was the same emotion we experienced in our offi ces in the days after 9/11. From the mayor and politicians, to our contractors, townspeople, and villagers, they tearfully agreed: those were not ““real” Muslims that had crashed those planes.
On 9/12 the Commander of the nearby Bosnian Army Post came and borrowed our American fl ag, which he then had fl own over the military post in respect for America and in honor of the 9/11 victims. I still have that fl ag as my symbol of what the world expects from us. Over the years we have fl own it in Kosovo, Central America and Afghanistan.
Randy Patrick is a resident of Sav-age.
The many languages of injusticeWhen a young man appeared
in court recently to respond to a minor traffi c violation, I sensed an elevated level of anxiety. He answered “yes” when I asked him if he understood the rights I had explained at the beginning of the hearing, and he answered “yes” when I asked him if he understood the charges he faced. It was when I asked him whether he wanted to plead guilty or not guilty to the charges, and he answered “yes” again, that I realized the reason for the heightened anxiety: He did not understand me.
This experience introduces a subject of increasing importance and concern for the courts throughout Minnesota and the nation – how can we provide meaningful access to justice to the growing population that does not understand English or for whom English is a second language?
A survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau found that from 2006 to 2008 more than 120 languages were spoken in Minnesota and that almost 10 percent of the population in Minnesota did not speak English in their homes.
When non-English-speaking people are involved in court proceedings, they have a right to understand what’s going on. Even people who can get by in social settings with their English skills may need assistance when they are involved in more formal court proceedings. (After two years of Spanish classes at a local community college, I may be comfortable ordering a cerveza at a cantina in Cancun, but would not want to rely on my Spanish in a Mexico City courtroom with my freedom at stake.)
In 2010, more than 25,800 hearings in Minnesota courts required interpreters speaking more than 88 languages. During this same period, more than 4,500 hearings in the seven counties of the First Judicial District required interpreters speaking 48 languages to assist participants; an average of 18 hearings each
day require an interpreter. Who provides these services? In years past, the availability of interpreters was uncertain, and the skills of interpreters were mostly unknown. Friends and family members or contacts from cultural, religious or ethnic organizations would frequently serve as interpreters. Hearings often had to be continued until an interpreter could be located, increasing the delay, expense and inconvenience to everyone involved, not just the non-English-speaking participant.
The major concern has not been expense or inconvenience, however, but whether the participants understand the proceedings. If the participant is a witness or a victim, understanding is important; if the participant is a defendant in a criminal matter, understanding is critical.
The Minnesota Legislature recognized this when it passed a law that declares it is “the policy of this state that the constitutional rights of persons disabled in communication cannot be fully protected unless qualifi ed interpreters are available to assist them in legal proceedings.”
Disputes involving some of the most important matters in peoples’ lives are brought into court for resolution. When a person’s freedom, family, property or safety is at risk, he or she has a right to understand completely and participate fully to obtain a just result.
To ensure that non-English-speaking people are provided timely, meaningful access to justice and a fair opportunity to understand and participate in court hearings in Minnesota, the Minnesota Supreme Court created the Court Interpreter Training and Certifi cation Program, developed a Code of Professional Responsibility for Interpreters and
established rules that explain the role of interpreters in court.
As a result of this effort, more than 1,300 interpreters speaking more than 100 languages are now available to provide services to court participants. More than 750 of these interpreters have passed rigorous examinations and have been certifi ed as interpreters in the 13 most common languages spoken in Minnesota. The courts in Minnesota have come a long way in responding to the needs and rights of non-English-speaking people in court proceedings.
The cost of providing interpreters for court hearings in Minnesota in 2010 was $1.9 million. The cost of providing these services in the First Judicial District in 2010 was more than $330,000. In an effort to control these costs, counties throughout the state and in the First Judicial District have been developing best practices, sharing resources and entering into contractual relationships with interpreters to provide reliable services at reasonable costs.
In Carver County, for example, interpreters for certain languages are provided via interactive TV from Hennepin County. This reduces travel for the interpreter, allows the interpreter to provide services in several counties from the same location and results in signifi cant cost savings.
There will always be a certain level of anxiety associated with any court appearance, but the anxiety should not result from a lack of understanding. The Judicial Branch is taking proactive measures to ensure that qualifi ed interpreters are available to protect the rights of the increasing number of non-English-speaking people involved in court proceedings in Minnesota. Justice should be available and understandable to all people. Fortunately, in Minnesota, it is.
Edward Lynch is chief judge of the First Judicial District, which includes the counties of Carver, Dakota, Goodhue, Le Sueur, McLeod, Scott and Sibley.

THANK YOU
Insurance agent blew her away with service
My three young boys and I recently found ourselves with a fl at tire. Un-sure of what to do, I called my insur-ance agent, whom I had never met or spoken to, to see if my policy had any kind of roadside assistance that could possibly help me. He politely took my call, answered my questions and then shocked me with this closing com-ment: “I can connect you to roadside assistance or I can just come and put the spare on for you.” Did you catch that? My insurance agent offered to come and change my tire for me!
In a state of shock, I said that would be great. He showed up 15 minutes later, changed my tire with a smile (did I mention it was 90-plus degrees?) and off he went.
In this age of automated every-thing and impersonal customer service, Jay Hurd blew me away. He truly went above and beyond the call of duty as an agent, offering me a smile and a helpful hand during a stressful time of need.
Jay, thank you so much for the practical help as well as being an example to my boys of what true cus-tomer service looks like.

DISTRICT 719
Look beyond treats to level the playing fi eld
I am a strong proponent of leveling the playing fi eld so that children from all socioeconomic backgrounds are able to succeed. District 719 claims to be sensitive to socioeconomic issues, but I fi nd the district’s sensitivity to be quite inconsistent when it comes to the implementation of their policies.
The article, “Changes in store for students” in the Sept. 3 issue of the Savage Pacer, details the elimina-tion of birthday treats in District 719 elementary schools. The article cites “allergies, socioeconomic and nutritional concerns” as the reasons for eliminating birthday treats. To me, this seems like a reasonable and thoughtful decision.
The same article explains that District 719 is easing restrictions on the use of student cell phones. This decision was made to enrich the educational experiences of students. Students will now be allowed to use their Smart phones as a “tool” in the classroom because this type of tech-nology plays such a prominent role in education today.
On one hand, District 719 is alleviat-ing the pressure on families to spend $10 per year on cupcakes for their child. On the other hand, the district
is creating even more pressure on families to spend over $1,000 per year on a phone so that their child can keep up in the classroom.
Should a child’s success in the class-room be determined by their family’s ability to afford the latest tech gadget? I am realistic and do understand that there will always be inequalities in the socioeconomic levels of families in District 719. However, before the district claims to be sensitive to so-cioeconomic issues, they need to take a look beyond birthday treats.

LOCAL ECONOMY
Career and Job Fair scheduled for Sept. 19
On Friday, the U.S. Department of Labor released its monthly unemploy-ment report with fi gures refl ecting an economy still struggling to create the jobs necessary to put our nation back on the path to prosperity. In August, the national unemployment rate re-mained a disappointing 9.1 percent.
To provide direct assistance to Minnesotans who are among the 14 million Americans looking for work, Congressman Kline is hosting a Career and Jobs Fair from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19 at the Eagan Community Center. More than 65
employers and a variety of employ-ment assistance organizations and educational institutions are scheduled to participate. We hope this fair will provide new opportunities to put Min-nesotans back to work.
If you are looking for a job, I encour-age you to attend. If you know someone who is looking for a job, please share this information with them. Last year, more than 750 Minnesotans par-ticipated in Congressman Kline’s jobs fair, and the response from constitu-ents was overwhelmingly positive.
For more information – including a list of employers attending the expo, please visit Congressman Kline’s Web site at http://kline.house.gov or e-mail me at [email protected].
I hope to see you Sept. 19 at the jobs fair!

SPIRITUALITY
Take reason with you to the voting booth
Upon perusing your “Spiritual-ity” (letter to the editor) in the Sept. 3 edition, I was simply amazed by one writer.
While I am sure Mr. Guidarelli is a fi ne man, as evidenced by his honor-able service to our country, he seems
to lack coherent thought in his letter. To speak of imagining when there will be a time with no time makes no sense; how could there be time with no time?
Second, he seems to have no cur-rent understanding of the views of modern cosmology and evolution. Un-der these views, which are supported by evidence, unlike Mr. Guidarelli’s God hypothesis, the universe and all living things in it were created from nothing; in fact nothing necessarily creates something.
Finally, he asserts that everything we behold must have been created. Well then, what or who created God? You cannot simply assert that God can create himself, because then why not save yourself a step and say the universe created itself? If something created God, then what created the creator of God, ad infi nitum.
Finally, he states that under God this nation was great. Under God, we justifi ed slavery, the subjection of women, and many other deplorable practices. And still today the persecu-tion of another group of our fellow hu-man beings, homosexuals, are being persecuted and oppressed exclusively under the banner of God.
While as a citizen I will be forever indebted to Mr. Guidarelli’s service, when you go into the voting booth take your reason with you.

Three children from the Dufferin Park neighborhood took it upon themselves to spend their Labor Day weekend painting rocks and selling them for money, but rather than buying toys and candy, they told neighbors they were raising money for “kids in Africa.” “Our dad told us we’re so lucky because there are kids in Africa who don’t have anything,” said Eli Rome, 8 (right). From there, Eli enlisted his sister, Maya Rome, 6 (left) and Logan Giles, 7 (center) to paint rocks with him. Eli hooked up a small wagon to his bike using a bungee cord, carabiner and duct tape to transport the rocks. They raised $44.59 selling most of their rocks for $1 each. “I was so proud,” said dad Erick Rome, “because not one adult ever suggested that this is what they should do.”
ROCKS FOR AFRICA
The last bus …The fi rst few times the
school bus rolled up to our curb, I was amazed by how big and intimidating it was. The kids climbed aboard, nervous about the unknown but excited by the promise of a new beginning. The bus rolled away, and I stood with the dogs at the bottom of the driveway and waved and waved, smiling broadly while tears streamed down my face. What would they see? What would they learn? How strange to send them off when I was the only thing they knew.
The kids got a little taller, their backpacks a little fuller. The bus pulled to a stop on the fi rst day of school and all three of them bounded up the steps, excited and jabbering. I was still allowed to see them off so I pumped my fi st and waved, smiling until they were out of sight. Then I turned up the driveway while yellow leaves fell all around me like golden tears.
The kids grew taller still, and I was asked not to stand at the end of the driveway on the fi rst day of school. I peeked from the doorway as the boys scuffed their way to the bus, my daughter having already carpooled off to the high school. I looked out at the empty driveway long after the bus had left. There was so much going on that fi rst week – a game after school and a choir meeting tomorrow and a
booster meeting on the fi fth – that life seemed to be moving along at 100 miles per hour. I drove to work, my mind racing as I tried to fi gure out how to slow the passage of time. I didn’t want things to change.
Two years later and two kids in college but - with my senior still at home - I stepped out the door and gave the bus a wave that fi rst morning of school. My son wouldn’t be caught dead on the bus, of course, but there was solace in the fact that I still actually had a child at home that could theoretically ride the school bus. I did not allow myself to go even a baby step ahead, to the time when the bus would come and no one would be home to need it.
To need me.Ah, but now that time has
come. There are no more children in my home. They are off at college, and the doors
are shut on their rooms so that sadness doesn’t surround me and consume me. People say I will learn to like it. They say change is opportunity, and I will land – even dance! – on my feet. I believe what they say, but this fi rst week of school reveals a heart in mourning for knowing that the wheels on the bus can never turn back time.
To love is to be vulnerable, and my heart is still reeling with its loss. For better or worse, I poured everything I had into raising my children. I hurried home to eat with them. I said goofy things so they would roll their eyes. Of course I had my job and my friends, but my greatest contentment was to just hang out with my children.
To give birth to three kids in less than four years is to be on a road covered with chaos, and laughter, and noise. Lots of noise! For years we rushed to soccer and band and choir and scouts, but always there was joy. Oodles and oodles of joy. My heart would swell to their songs in the car. Leap to hear their laughter during a movie. God had blessed me good, and I knew it. I knew it every single day.
But now the kids have left and I wonder - who am I now? For over 20 years, my primary job was to be a mother to my children. I feel paralyzed.
What do I like to do? Do I make dinner? And shopping for groceries feels like an outer body experience. Is this for real? I don’t need milk. I don’t need ice cream. I don’t need cereal or yogurt or bread. How can this be my life? We always need milk.
The bus came by this week, but only on the fi rst day of school. I was in the kitchen when I heard it, and ran to the door just in time to glimpse the yellow metal fl ash in the sunlight as it disappeared behind the trees. I walked out onto the driveway, then slowly raised my hand in a salute. Good-bye bus. We had a great run, but you will be the last school bus to hesitate at my driveway. The wheels have gone ‘round and ‘round, and life has moved us on down the road.
I turned that fi rst morning and walked back up the driveway, lifting my face to the crisp autumn air. How strange to have sent them all off when they were the only thing I knew. But change is opportunity. There are so many new and exciting things that lie ahead, and I will trust in the promise of this new beginning.

Leah Christina Graeber, the woman accused of driv-ing faster than 100 mph when she caused a crash that killed a young Burnsville boy last summer, was again found not competent to stand trial last Friday, Sept. 2, and will be re-evaluated in February.
Graeber was found not com-petent to stand trial in March and was sent to the Minnesota Security Hospital, a maximum-security psychiatric hospital in St. Peter, for further evalu-ation. On Sept. 2, the court again found her not competent to stand trial, and Graeber will remain at the hospital until her next review hearing on Feb. 27, 2012.
When a defendant is found not to be competent to proceed in a criminal case, the pro-ceedings are suspended until such time as the individual is determined to be competent to proceed.
G r a e b e r was originally sent to a psy-chiatric ward at Hennepin County Medi-cal Center in Minneapolis l ast Aug u st after WCCO-TV reported that Graeber called the tele-vision station and told report-ers she is God. Graeber has been committed to Minnesota mental health centers at least six times, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Graeber, 28, of Savage, was charged in December 2010 with one count of criminal vehicu-lar homicide, three counts of criminal vehicular operation (two felonies and one gross misdemeanor), and one count of controlled substance crime in the fi fth degree.
On July 18, 2010, Graeber was driving a car on Highway 13 near Washburn Avenue that crossed the grassy me-dian and crashed into an SUV driven by Geoffrey Balistreri of Burnsville, who was seri-ously injured in the crash. His son, 11-year-old Joel (Joey) Balistreri, a student at St. John the Baptist Catholic School in Savage, was killed. Balistreri’s wife and a daughter were also injured in the crash.
Graeber was original ly thought to be under the infl u-ence of alcohol at the time of the crash, but toxicology reports found that she was not under the inf luence of alcohol or drugs at the time. However, po-lice did fi nd an open container of beer, two pipes that each contained residue of cocaine and marijuana, and a clear plastic tube inside her vehicle after the crash.

FIRE DRILL
PHOTO BY LORI CARLSON
If anybody saw smoke barreling towards the sky in the area of Savage’s City Campus on Wednesday, don’t worry, city hall didn’t burn down. Instead, the Savage Fire Department was conducting a controlled burn just west of where the new fi re station is located at 13105 Dakota Ave. Deputy Fire Chief John Babin said the area, which had an old house on its land, needed to be cleared for a new development, and the department used the opportunity to train their fi refi ghters. “When we have a chance to use live fi re in acquired structures like this, it’s really a big benefi t for our fi refi ghters,” Babin said. Seven fi refi ghters were able to make it to the burn, and Babin said they expect to conduct another controlled burn sometime this fall in an area about a half-mile away from Wednesday’s location.

Negotiate a better cable, phone billDo you dread opening the cable and phone bill every month? Ramit Sethi, author of “I Will Teach You to Be Rich,” shared some tips in Parade Magazine recently for lowering your monthly bills by going straight to the source – call your provider.
Do your research. Know how long you’ve been a customer and how much you’ve paid over the years.
Don’t be afraid to ask for a deal. Visit BillShrink.com, a free web-site that will analyze your habits and point you toward a plan that best fits your needs.
Don’t ask yes-or-no questions, such as “Can you give me a discount?” They beg for a no answer.
Be open-ended in your phrasing: “What can
you do to help me?”
Do ask for a supervisor. If your representa-
tive doesn’t help you, use your longev-ity as a cus-tomer to your
advantage.
Don’t stop with a no. Contact the cancellation department; their repre-sentatives are more motivated to offer a discount.

and your wallet isn’t always easy. Reuters offers five tips on how to buy the plan that works best for you:
Understand your options. COBRA is an easy option if you’ve just left a job, but it can be expensive. Consider what you need based on your health and your family’s medical habits.
Shop around. Online insurance brokers, such as eHealthInsurance or HealthPlanOne, allow you to type in your information and receive multiple quotes to compare the plans’ details. Or, find someone local, by contacting area insurance agents and brokers in our Southwest Metro region.
Consider affiliating with a group. Since group insurance is typi-cally cheaper than getting it on your own, consider association insurance.
Don’t forget that health insurance is tax deductible. While medical costs are only deduct-ible if you itemize, the self-employed can deduct their insurance premiums straight off their adjusted gross income.
Cost out different plans. Look beyond the premium and deductible to figure out which plan will save you most in the long run. Consider co-pays, in-and-out-of-network providers and benefit limits.
Do the (fuel) mathBuying a new car? While the gizmos and gadgets might dazzle, it’s the miles per gallon that typically win us over. Visit fueleconomy.com for a tool that calculates your annual fuel costs and the total fuel cost for the life of your vehicle.
For example, did you know that a car that gets 30 MPG will save you $913 a year over a truck that only gets 20 MPG?
Bring your numbers to the table to find out which new vehicle is really the best money saver.
Shop smartThe Iowa State University Extension Office has a fun Spend Smart-Eat Smart quiz that challenges consumers’ shop-ping skills. The online quiz breaks down food groups and explores each of them by money, nutrition and time.
For example, one question asks: “Food at convenience stores usually costs more than the same product at grocery stores. Are convenience stores ever a good choice?”
Answer: Yes, when you’re only purchas-ing one item, like milk, since a “quick
trip to the store” often leads consum-ers to spend 54 percent more than they intended on impulse.

What moved you on 9/11?The events of 9/11 – three numbers
seared into our minds – changed our country and our lives.
The tragedies of Sept. 11, 2001, sent the United States to war, dramatically changed air travel, slowed the world’s economy, spawned hate crimes, and put us in mourning for the more than 2,700 persons who died as a result of the terrorist attacks.
This newspaper asked southwest area readers to describe how they were changed by 9/11, and here’s what they had to say:
Why does it takesomething like this?
My thoughts that morning as I got up were “It’s my birthday today, and I’m meeting my new doctor.” And I was wondering if I would hear from my two oldest sons – my youngest was coming over after work.
I poured myself a cup of coffee, turned on the TV, and was forever changed.
I was frozen with shock. What was I watching? It was ‘Oh my God, what is happening?’ You forget where you are, and your surroundings. I called someone – don’t remember who.
It was days before things started making sense.
I was praying and praying for the people and families.
For the fi rst three to six months, people I would meet showed kind-ness to one another. The anger and rudeness was gone. People were very polite.
I thought “Why does it take something like this to change people towards one another?”
We never know when God is going to call us.
Jan Geis, 73Chaska
When I see a shooting star
When I see a shooting star, I close my eyes and indulge in a little wish, and when I blow the wispy seeds off a dandelion, I stop for a moment and hope for something trivial. And when the sun rises and marks the day as Sept. 11, I bow my head in prayer. But this prayer isn’t about some small thing, not about something trivial. It’s a prayer of sorrow, gratitude, and hope.
Deep in my mom’s closet are stacks of old newspapers chronicling the attack. When I see pictures of anguished faces, of America’s twin towers in fl ames, and read about the raw pain of a nation … grief wells up in me.
And yet, I can walk out of the closet and back into a blessed life of normality. I look at the American fl ag hanging on my wall before I go to sleep. Oh, I feel gratitude.
It’s unimaginable that so much hatred could cause the killing of thousands: we all live with a bit more fear in our hearts than a decade ago. But we also found courage, solidarity, and a renewed faith in God. Because of this, I continue to hope: never again.

broker, explaining idiosyncrasies of American culture to these new-comers.
In discussing 9/11 (part of the citizenship curriculum), it’s of-ten necessary to explain how life changed in America since that fateful day.
These discussions have changed me. I realize how fortunate I am to live in the United States. Many stu-dents come from war-torn countries where individual rights and secu-rity are unknown. Here we view it as our God-given way of life.
I am all too aware that there are peace-loving people in every coun-try. Just because a student is from Afghanistan or Iraq or Somalia does not mean that person is a violent terrorist. Many of my students have suffered great tragedy.
I am more proud of my American heritage than ever; more conscious of the value of our Constitution and Bill of Rights; more grateful for those who defend our country and our rights.
Nine-eleven stirred up all of these values in me. I share them daily with people from around the world.

One mother helping another
I was working at home in my offi ce listening to the radio when I heard an airplane had crashed in New York City. I turned on the television and watched in horror, as the events of the day unraveled. No one knew what to expect or who was responsible for the attacks on the twin towers. They issued warnings about large cities and shopping cen-ters, especially the Mall of America. I couldn’t concentrate on work and decided to go to the Eden Prairie shopping center.
As I was going up the escalator, a Muslim family, father, mother and two sons began their descent on the down escalator opposite me. The mother wore the traditional Muslim dress with a hijab covering her body, head and face. The mother and youngest son stepped on the es-calator and the father followed. The oldest son stopped, terrifi ed of the moving stairs. The father, mother and youngest son went down, as the oldest stood frozen in fright, at the top of the escalator.
The mother, young son and father, now at the bottom of the escalator realized what had happened and be-gan shouting in their native tongue
for the son to come down. The boy, about 7, was franticly screaming. I was now at the top of the escalator near the frightened boy, as a crowd of people gathered around him.
I’m not sure if I reacted from so many years of being around young children, I certainly didn’t think through my actions. I went to the boy, put one arm around his chest, grabbed the escalator railing with the other hand and nudged him onto the fi rst step. As I held him tight, I felt his little heart beat rapidly. About half way down the father entered the up escalator and both mother and father were shouting at me. Soon we were at the bottom of the escalator. I was greeted with words I could not understand. Our body language said it all. I was one mother helping another mother.
On that fateful day of the attack I didn’t see a family from another country or know the attack on the twin towers was Muslim terrorists; I saw a family from another coun-try shopping and a young boy in distress. I still believe we live in the land of opportunity. With the cur-rent political climate, the infl uence of money, and bias in the courts, I am worried our freedom is at risk. My hope is it’s not too late.
Dianne CorderEden Prairie
Still wondering a decade later
The Midwestern skies were a perfect blue on Lake Susan Drive in Chanhassen on Sept. 11, 2001. I had just put my fi rst-grade son on the bus bound for Chanhassen Elementary. I also had a toddler by the hand and a newborn on my hip.
I tuned in just as the fi rst air-plane hit the twin towers in NYC. I saw the second one slam into the second tower and my mind couldn’t grasp what I was watching. Was this a promo for some extreme action movie???
I sat glued to the TV the entire day. What was happening? Should I pick my son up from school? If the terrorists went after our country’s fi nancial and governmental centers for maximum impact, would they hit the heart of a small town next? My mind was racing and thinking terrible thoughts. It felt as though the sky was a giant door that closed up. All fl ights were suspended and the only sounds above were military airplanes on patrol. I looked at my two young daughters and thought,
“What kind of world have I brought you in to? What will your future be like?”
And 10 years later, I still won-der.
Heidi KeyhoVictoria
We have all been changed
I remember the beautiful day and then seeing images of the World Trade Center burning on television. How a small kernel of fear started to take hold knowing my daughter was in training for her fi rst job just three blocks away from that building now on fi re. I wanted to receive as much information as possible, so I turned on the radio as well. That station was speculating that the planes could have been carrying anthrax. Now my fear was starting to take control. What could I do? How could I help? I could only pray that God would keep her safe.
She called me late that afternoon and told me of how they felt the impact three blocks away. How her desk slid back and forth when each plane hit the World Trade Center. How over the loudspeaker, they were instructed to remain at their desks. She told her friend, I’m not sure what is happening, but we are leaving now. Once on the sidewalk, there already was a lot of debris fl y-ing around. They saw on a storefront window a television viewing exactly what all of us were watching. With no sound they assumed we were under attack. How they ran in ter-ror when others shouted, “The fi rst tower is falling.”
When I remember 9/11 these vivid memories return and it feels more recent than 10 years ago.
It is important to honor and re-member those who lost their lives on that day, and later because of responding to the events of that day. Our history changed with that event. The elusive safe and secure feeling is gone. We have all been changed by that historical day.

I was a special-education as-sistant, walking down the hallway at Five Hawks Elementary with a fi rst-grader. There were whispers from the adults as I passed by the school library. I noticed a small TV and thought it was odd for it to be on. I paused and witnessed the second plane crash through the twin towers as the first one was still on fi re.
I took that little boy’s hand and continued to walk to his speech therapy. He was a child with au-tism. I had no idea what I had just witnessed. I just felt a somber mood within every hallway we walked down.
Tears were hidden behind a “nor-malcy mask,” while phone calls were made by the staff to make sure their families were OK, and parents called to pick up their children. We all upheld our responsibilities for our students, staying calm and continu-ing the day’s activities. The school day ended with so many unanswered questions. We were all shocked and confused.
Understanding the reality of that infamous day, 9/11/2001, I’ve often refl ected on holding that little boy’s hand. He couldn’t speak, but some-where in his innocent heart he felt
the pain and understood. Walking through those halls, he squeezed my hand very tight. He seemed to know more than I did.

A new era of watchfulness
The attacks of 10 years ago did change my world view.
There is a lot of evil and hate in this world.
Ten years ago, we saw the worst of it.
There is a lot of good in this world, too.
Evil and hate need to be con-fronted in an effective way.
My world view is clearer now in that the good people of this planet can get along.
If we can overcome the evil and hateful people and make sure we have honest and effective leaders, the world will be a better place.
I think we should vote for the best candidate and be on the watch for evil, hateful and criminal activities and make the call when you see it.
I think it’s best if people get involved with making their com-munity a better place, not always expecting someone else to do it.
I think it is time to re-evaluate how we do things. An updated and effective business model in most areas would be a good thing.
My sense of security is changed some. I hope for the best, but it may be a good idea to be prepared for the worst. It may be the way to go in case of emergencies.
My life is changed, as I am on the watch for suspicious activity more now than before 10 years ago.
I am also more active in volun-teering for my community and charitable organizations.

Nothing could divide nation after attacks
“Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
How insightful this American treasure was, how true this quote is. For me 9/11 was more than an inhuman attack on the innocent. It was two of the greatest messages this world would ever know.
First: WE ARE NOT ALONE! Days after the attacks newspaper pictures and video clips show the world mourning with us, their out-cry of rage not unheard. The news at times paints the picture that the world dislikes the American attitude, yet when we needed our friends and allies the most, they were there for us.
Second: WE WILL RISE! Our country did not ask for this and did not deserve this yet when we were attacked without warning or chance to prepare, we triumphed. Ameri-cans were helping and sacrifi cing for fellow Americans. Religion, political differences or race could not divide our country that day ... we were all Americans. I am allowed to write this because of the history that is America. America is the great experiment and is the great-est achievement in history. I am so proud and honored to be part of our American story.

A prayer for peaceIt was one of those
moments that you remember for the rest of your life, and you remember where you were when you fi rst heard of it. The assassination of President John Kennedy … the fi rst time humans stepped on the surface of the moon … the attack on the World Trade Center in New York – it was one of those days that live with you forever, and this weekend we recognize the 10th anniversary of that terrible day.
I was at a clergy breakfast group that Tuesday morning. A group of us met every week on Tuesdays to “round table” the lectionary, discuss problems that had arisen in either our personal or professional lives, and generally to support each other in an effort to realize that we were not alone in our lives or our ministries.
Our server that morning knew us as regulars, and knew that we were all pastors. We saw she was very serious
when she came up to the seven of us at the table and told us that we should probably see what was going on in New York, that an airplane had hit the World Trade Center, and it was on the television downstairs. In fact, she looked so serious that we quickly fi nished and followed her. There it was, that horribly memorable image of smoke pouring out of the fi rst tower, and within another fi ve minutes, we saw another plane hit the second tower, and it too had its upper fl oors engulfed in smoke.
I won’t belabor the rest of the memory. I’m sure you have your own of that day. Needless to say, the group talked quickly about what we might do here in our churches
to help our congregations and the communities deal with these events.
It happened to be the day of a primary election in St. Paul and I made sure the election judges knew what was happening when I got there. In fact,
I set up a television in the narthex of the church, so the judges and I could keep abreast of the day’s events as they happened. As it turns out, I later found out setting up the television was illegal, but I didn’t do any time for it. In fact, the people who came to church appreciated a place of the spirit which was fully aware of the events of the world, and some of them came in to talk to me after voting.
For about three weeks,
and this was true nationally as well, church attendance spiked on Sunday mornings. People needed a place to hear their jumbled thoughts articulated, and to pray their prayers together with other people who believed in the presence of God and that God still cared. Then the immediate fears subsided and the cultural fear took over.
I have been looking forward to writing this article ever since I pulled into the church a couple of weeks ago, after some time away from the offi ce, and saw that a “Peace Pole” had been installed on our property. I have to admit a thrill came over me – it moved me at a spiritual level – and I went and sat by it for awhile and offered there my own prayers for peace. I was able to walk away saying that in this addition to our life, we are making a public prayer for peace with justice to the community of which the church is a part.
Its message is simple …
“Let peace prevail on earth” not only in English, but also in Somali, Spanish and Lakota tongues, representing the largest communities within a three-mile circle of the church.
The 10 years have not taught us a great deal. We still worry and wonder about our safety. We still grieve the loss of over 3,000 of our civilian population and over 300 of the FDNY. And we worry about the long-term damages and effects, of which we are only beginning to become aware. But one thing we have learned is that without a prayer for the peace of all peoples of the world, there will be true peace for none.
As people of faith and spirit in our community, we are called to earnestly give witness to what it means to proclaim peace in a world where injustice and violence oppress millions of people, even in our country. We proclaim ourselves as members of a unifi ed body,
who through many are one, and who possess differing gifts, but the same Spirit, and which calls us all to break down the dividing walls of hostility and disrespect that exist between too many of the world’s people.
We are dedicating our “Peace Pole” on the fi nal Sunday of September, as we gather around it at about 10:30 a.m. If you would choose to be a part, know that you are welcome. My hope is that it will not be an end statement, but a beginning of the need we all share to reconcile differences between peoples, and to do what it takes to make peace in the world of which we are all a part.

Complete Nutrition is one of the Nutritional Food Sponsors (along with Pure Market Express) for the Sept. 10 Boots & Boas Dash/5K Run/Walk pre-sented by St. Francis Regional Medical Center, Savvy.mn Magazine and Eden Prairie News. Learn more by visiting Active.com and searching for “Boots & Boas 5K.” Jason Edwards is the owner of the Eden Prairie, Edina, Burnsville and Maple Grove Complete Nutrition stores, completenutrition.com.
Q. Describe what your business offers.
A. Complete Nutrition is a general health and nutrition store committed to helping customers look better, feel better and perform better every day. We offer trained consultants that de-velop one-to-one relationships while customizing weight loss and muscle building solutions thorough exclusive products. Our personal consultants
are fi tness experts that can customize exercise and diet plans regardless of experience level of each client. Eight more Complete Nutrition stores are set to open over the next two years in Minnesota.
Q. Why do you care about nutri-tion? How did you get into your fi eld?
A. I grew up in a family that ex-perienced obesity and witnessed the effects it had on my immediate fam-ily. I decided fairly early in life that I wanted to focus my career on helping people live healthier lives which is why I completed my undergraduate de-gree in Health Education and Health Promotion. I was fortunate to work on several projects in which we focused on the dietary habits of several under-privileged communities and saw how having a plan increased the overall well-being of the participants.
Q. How has eating right/paying attention to good nutrition im-proved your life or the lives of those you know?
A. I think the most important aspect to living a healthier lifestyle is having a plan. Living healthy is a commitment, not a destination. This is not something we start and end. I believe supplementation is only one piece of the foundations necessary for clients to be successful.
Making choices to replace bad habits with good habits like drink-ing water and not soda, eating out less, taking a multi-vitamin, getting more REM sleep and eating smaller meals is essential to any successful plan.
I have found that paying atten-tion to my diet has helped increased my energy levels and improved my overall sleeping habits. I also have more energy to keep up with my 9-
and 7-year-olds as I am taking them to events all over the city. I am by no means perfect in my diet. I have an occasional pizza, burger or beer, but I do so in moderation. I am not a believer in depriving myself; rather, I believe that good health comes from being aware of unhealthy eating hab-its and that a cheat meal today does not mean I have seven more during the week.
Q. Would you share with us a guilty food or drink pleasure?
A. My favorite cheat meal is Mexi-can food; chips and salsa, margaritas and chicken el carbon de pollo. After living in Tucson, Arizona for three years, I fell in love with food south of the border and chose it as my comfort food whenever I cheat. The key is the cheat meal only comes once a week, not every day.

BARBERTHE WINE ROGUE
Q & A with Jason Edwards
You drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration. You stretch to avoid injury. You wear the right shoes. You think about all the necessary precautions to keep your body healthy when running.But what are you doing to take care of your eyes?
Minnesota has the highest incidence of age-related Macular Degeneration in the country, partly due to the Scandinavian-ethnic makeup and partly to the high number of sunny days, said Dr. Matthew Sharpe, an ophthalmologist with LasikPlus Vision Center in Edina, Maple Grove and Oakdale. LasikPlus, lasikplus.com, is a major sponsor of the Boots & Boas 5K.
Q. What should runners be thinking about when it comes to eye safety while running?
A. Sunglasses should be light and comfortable and prevent side entry of sunlight as much as possible.
Q. When it comes to sunglasses, what should runners be looking for?
A. Ultraviolet light protection standards in the US are the highest in the world, and this is the most important part of the sunglasses. One doesn’t need to buy designer or very expensive sunglasses to get this.
Q. Are there special styles of sunglasses that offer the best protection for active runners?
A. Many of the sports glassesalready being worn are of the “wraparound” style that prevents sun from coming in the sides. Running in winter may make this even more important, as the reflection off snow increases overall sun exposure.
Kristin Holtz
So you’ve come back. Do you really think you can just come traipsing back into my life again after leaving for an entire summer? You want me to just pick you up again as if everything was fi ne? Am I really supposed to just take you back?
Sorry honey. I’ve moved on. I’ve met so many fantastic white wines after you left that I barely even remembered you. I met a Torrontes from Argentina. That’s right. We saw Shakespeare in the Park together. Did you know I spent some time on the beach with a Sauvignon Blanc from California? Yup. That was in June and I’ve had that same wine three times since then. Uh huh. Unlike you, it’s crisp and it’s bright and it refreshes me like you never did.
Did you hear I met a Viognier for the fi rst time this July? Well I did. I even brought it to my family picnic. Guess what? They loved it. I might even take it over and introduce it to the guys on game night. So don’t even try to weasel back in like you and me got it goin’ on.
Did you know I had to put the big red wine glasses away after you left? I should have known you wouldn’t be around once the weather got nice. I was so stupid! And I have no doubt that you’re
probably showing up in other people’s glasses right now too. No! We’re done! Things are different now. We. Are. Done.
Don’t get me wrong. I wish you well. I mean, you always did go well with steak. Do you still go well with steak? I bet you do. Remember that night at the cabin? The night of two bottles? You were amazing. You’re always amazing on a cold night. We were good
together, weren’t we? It would be fun to do something like that again. We have so much history together. It would be a shame to just turn our backs on so much history. Okay, maybe I’ll have just one glass. For old time’s sake — but I’m not taking you back.
This week’s recommendation: Guglielmo Private Reserve,
Petite Sirah 2007 ($24.99): With fl avors of smoke, chocolate, and
leather, Guglielmo tastes like something we love to reminisce about but are careful not to talk about. This wine is big and meaty and buxom and delicious and a great way to welcome back the big red wine season. Grab a bottle and create some history.

New school year comes with signifi cant changes
Sue Ann
GRUVERIN TOUCH
Have you seen them? The fi rst sugar maple trees in our neighborhoods are turning yellow and red! This is a sure sign that our seasons are changing. Although there are still many warm days ahead, fall is just around the corner. I can’t wait.
Best of all, I love this season because it marks the beginning of a new school year in PLSAS. Throughout these past several weeks, new teachers and returning staff have held countless trainings and work sessions, and most recently we have welcomed students and families into school with open house activities. Through it all, there has been an air of excitement and anticipation on the part of students, families and staff.
On Tuesday we welcomed
7,200 students to our E-12 classrooms. Our enrollment is stable! Although not growing as fast as we were fi ve years ago, we continue to gain the number of students, particularly at the elementary level, to sustain our schools. Although many classrooms
and schools look the same as they did last spring, there are changes that are signifi cant.
Our school district recently received more than $340,000 from a state grant to expand our Response to Intervention (RtI) programs K-8 in reading and math. The reading and math strategies and supports that are now available will continue to assist students in their mastery of these content areas. The reading support is in grades K-3 and 6-8. The math support will be available in grades 4-8. After just one year of experience with a much smaller grant, we are already seeing students show signifi cant improvement. We are eager to begin this school year with this additional fi nancial support.
Our middle schools are now offering advanced
programming in math, language arts, science and social studies. These courses are offered at each grade level. For the fi rst time, all sixth grade students have a World Language option. Project Lead the Way is now embedded into the eighth grade IT offerings bringing hands-on, project-based engineering to students who choose this option.
Our high school continues to use alternative teaching and learning strategies for our 9-12 grade students. This fall students have enrolled in three sections of college physics through St. Cloud State’s “Senior to Sophomore” program. These courses provide the opportunity for college credit while continuing to attend PLHS.
Technology-rich courses
continue to expand to provide opportunities for teachers to carry student learning beyond the walls of their classrooms. The hybrid online learning opportunities introduced last school year are continuing to attract and retain high school juniors and seniors, while freeing up classroom space at PLHS. This model provides students classroom time with their teacher along with an independent online study component.
This year, SMART Boards have been added to the social studies, science, math and communications departments at the high school. This interactive technology has been in place at the elementary schools for the past three years. The secondary schools are now
being equipped to meet the changing format of teaching and learning. For the fi rst time, students will have the option of using their cell phones, with teacher permission, for educational purposes in the classroom.
As this new school year and season gets underway, I am looking forward to the many positive changes in teaching and learning that will contribute to the success of our students.
(Sue Ann Gruver is superintendent of Prior Lake-Savage Area School District 719. She can be reached via e-mail at [email protected] or by phone at (952) 226-0000. Her column is one of several opinion and commentary pieces appearing regularly in this newspaper.)
According to at least one of the international Jonasens, Linda’s philosophy isn’t just lip service.
“I got along with everyone pretty well at the beginning,” said Michael Gessner, who stayed with the Jonasens fi ve years ago while he spent a year as a senior at Prior Lake High School. “They took me like a family member right away.”
Even the Jonasens’ extended family, whose annual gathering falls on the weekend new foreign-exchange students arrive in Minnesota, instantly ingratiated Gessner and “Americanized his name,” Olivia recalled.
“Nice to meet you, Mike,” she remembers her grandfather greeting the student.
Gessner is back in Savage visiting his host family for six weeks.
“That long?” Linda laughed.
COMING TO AMERICA
Almost 13,000 students this year will travel the globe with AFS, the organization through which the Jonasens hosted their seven foreign exchange students. Though AFS has operated for 60 years and serves more than 40 countries, of the 370,000 students who have traveled with AFS, more than 100,000 live in the United States.
“I think that’s why a lot of students like to come here is to get better at their English and their careers,” Linda said. “It looks really good on a
rèsumè.” AFS’ United States arm,
AFS-USA, has a mission to “[work] toward a more just and peaceful world by providing international and intercultural learning experiences to individuals, families, schools, and communities through a global volunteer partnership,” according to its Web site.
Gessner received exactly that – an intercultural learning experience – when he spent a year as a Laker. He joined the PLHS football team – Linda’s rule is that the exchange students must be involved in some sort of community or school activity while they are here – and even got to teach the occasional German class.
“It’s very different in a European school,” Gessner said. “[Here], you can stay at school until fi ve doing fun stuff.”
Even though Gessner began learning English in elementary school, he still had to adjust to it being the dominant language when he came to the States.
“It took, like, three or four months to be able to express everything you wanted to say,” he said.
“We would always ask the kids, ‘Are you dreaming in English yet?’” Linda said. “That’s a pretty good sign that you’re in the culture.”
FAMILY TIES
Gessner was the third student the Jonasens’ hosted and the fi rst male, after the family got involved with AFS in 2002. One of Jack’s colleagues “had hosted a
number of students,” and his wife began talking to Linda about the idea. In August she sent an inquiry to the organization, planning just to dip the family’s collective toe in the water with a semester-long student placement. Instead, they dived right in.
“They had a girl who was in a home that wasn’t working out and needed to be placed immediately,” Jack said.
She ended up with the Jonasens for the full year and they were hooked, though the situation wasn’t always perfect.
“It was kind of diffi cult at fi rst,” Olivia admitted.
She not only had to learn to live with a new person in her home, she had to share her parents’ attention, as well as the bathroom and the computer, Linda noted. That was part of why the experience was attractive for Linda – who has one brother – and Jack, who is one of seven sons. They wanted Olivia to experience life as someone’s sister. By the time Gessner moved in, Olivia actively embraced her role.
“That was kind of fun,” she said. “It was like my older brother on the football team. I’d meet more people and more people would know who I was. I’d see him in the halls and be like, ‘Hey, that’s my brother.’”
That wasn’t always the case for Olivia. She’s the fi rst to describe her pre-teen self as less than culturally astute, which led to some uncomfortable moments with her French older sister, the fi rst student to stay with the Jonasens.
“I asked if she had toilets in
France,” Olivia said. “She was very offended.”
Having seven international siblings share her home made Olivia, who graduated from PLHS in 2009 and attends Winona State University, much more world-savvy.
“Sometimes when I’m talking about it [with my peers], the farthest they’ve traveled is Wisconsin,” Olivia noted.
REUNITED
Olivia added a stamp to her passport earlier this summer, when the family reunited with its international members for a cruise. The idea came to life after gestating for four years. Linda decided that she wanted to do an Alaskan cruise for her 50th birthday, which set the precedent for Jack to do something similarly grandiose for his big 5-0. His plan? A trip to Europe, complete with stops in Sweden and Germany to see Michael and the family’s Swedish former exchange student.
“That lasted for about fi ve minutes,” Jack laughs. “I was told [by Linda and Olivia] that if I was going to Europe, I wasn’t going alone.”
The family had made past sojourns west to visit the students they’d hosted, and likewise, many of the students – and even their parents, with whom Linda made an extra effort to forge relationships – had visited the Jonasens in Savage long after their time as Lakers had ended. The family stayed together through the Internet as well, relying on Facebook and e-mail.
“With technology now, it keeps the world a lot smaller
for keeping in touch,” Linda said.
Planning the cruise was a struggle, juggling everyone’s locations, schedules and desires. An initial Mediterranean excursion was scrapped when one of the students informed Jack that 20-somethings don’t want to spend their vacations looking at old architecture.
Instead, the family reunion took place on a cruise that stopped in Cannes, Nice, Barcelona, Rome and Corsica. Thirteen people from the Jonasen clan were present on the ship: fi ve of the international students, as well as one student’s boyfriend, two sets of students’ parents, and the three people from Savage who started it all.
“Dinner was the fi rst occasion where everyone has been together,” Jack remembered. “It was very interesting because everyone felt so comfortable with each other.”
“It seemed normal,” Linda added. “It was like a big family.”
Though some of the international students had met, some had not and the Jonasens were the only link between them all. Gessner recalled getting along with the boys well even though they’d never met. He was acquainted with the girls. For Olivia, she went from never being anyone’s sibling, to being alternately a younger and an older sister to seven students. For her, the family reunion was a unique experience.
“It was a lot of fun having all my siblings as one,” Olivia
said. “Interacting with all of them, I share a different relationship with each one, so that was fun and kind of weird.”
EMPTY NEST
The Jonasens took a sabbatical from hosting a student during Olivia’s junior year at PLHS.
“That was OK because she was a teenager and we needed a year with just her,” Linda said. “We were still involved in the organization, we just didn’t have a student.”
After Olivia left for college, the Jonasens attempted to try out student-free life; ‘attempted’ being the operative word.
“We decided we really wanted to be empty nesters,” Linda said. “Then we got cold feet and we’d decide, ‘Oh, I think we’re going to get another [student].”
Due to the economy, AFS has struggled with placing students, Jack said. “You end up feeling kind of guilty when you don’t take one.”
The relationships aren’t all one sided, either.
“I think that the thing that we’ve probably gotten the most enjoyment out of is the different personalities,” Jack said. “It’s interesting to interact with each one of them.”
“I’ve felt good that we’ve impacted all these children’s lives,” Linda added.
Olivia, the one-time lone wolf, has gained a lot from her extended international family.
“Even though I’m an only child, I have all these siblings,” she said.

Home repairs for when the kids head back to school
REAL ESTATE SHOWCASEREAL ESTATE SHOWCASE
As your family heads back to school, take some time to complete a
few simple home repairs. Doing your “home”-work projects now will allow you to spend more time with your family and less time fi xing, cleaning and repairing things this fall.
Get outside forsome yard workAfter a summer full of outdoor fun, it’s time to tidy the yard before winter comes. Clean and safely place any outdoor fur-niture in storage. Once the furniture is put away, give your deck or patio a good power washing. Bring your indoor plants back inside and prune your trees and shrubs to encourage healthy growth. You should also remove any leaves or debris from your gutters to avoid clogs or other drainage issues.
Inspect the drivewayWhile you’re outside, check your driveway and patch any cracks or potholes that may have resulted from the summer heat. You
may also want to consider resealing your driveway in the fall to keep it smooth and even all year long. Sealing your driveway will also protect it from any winter snow or ice damage.
Organize your garageFall is an ideal time to clean the garage and clear out any unwanted items your family has collected over the summer. Invest in a good storage system that will keep you organized, and clear pathways around vehicles and doors. Move your rake or leaf blower to the front of the garage and consider placing holiday or winter items in an accessible spot for the coming season.
Install a remotethermostatWith the kids back in school, your home may now be unoccupied for a large por-tion of the day. Lowering your thermostat while the family is away can provide substantial cost savings. A programmable thermostat will allow you to create custom
temperature settings for the hours you are home and away. Some models, like the AccuLink(TM) Remote Thermostat from American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning, allow you to set and control your home’s temperature remotely using most Web-enabled cell phones and computers.
Check and sealyour windows Proper insulation will not only keep your family comfortable, but it may also help to improve the overall energy effi ciency of your home. Air drafts are often easy to spot. First, make sure your windows are tightly shut. Then, feel around the edges of your windows for air leaks. If you feel a draft, you can easily seal the leaks with do-it-yourself caulk or weatherstripping.
Seasonal maintenance will help to protect your home and prepare it for winter. With a little effort this fall, your “home”-work will be sure to make the grade.

GIRLS SOCCER
Small bump in roadNo. 5 Blaze drops conference opener aft er a four-game win streak BY TOM SCHARDIN
The Burnsville girls soccer team climbed to No. 5 in the Class AA state poll going into its South Suburban Conference opener at Rosemount Sept 6.
The Blaze was also riding a four-game win streak.
However, Burnsvil le’s win streak came to end and it will likely drop in the polls following a 3-2 loss. The Blaze dropped to 4-2 overall.
Burnsville went into the game on the heels of a 5-1 home win over Chanhassen Sept. 2 and a 4-1 win at Minneapolis South the day before in a pair of non-league games.
Despite the loss, Blaze coach John Soderholm was happy with the way his team played in win-ning four straight games. He said Rosemount is always a tough oppo-nent and seems to reload the talent each season.
Burnsville has 20 goals in its fi rst fi ve games, but has also al-lowed 11.
“I think the girls are playing well,” said Soderholm. “Our back
line is really playing well with a couple of surprising players in the group.”
Burnsville held a 2-0 lead in the fi rst half, but let it get away. The Irish tied the game before the break and scored the game-winner midway through the second half.
The Irish were able to keep sophomore Alyssa Blahnik off the stat sheet. She leads the Blaze with eighth goals in six games. It was the fi rst game this season she did get at least one goal.
Burnsville’s fi rst goal came on a corner kick. Junior Natalie Muench scored on a header with the assist going to senior Hannah Freden.
Freden scored the Blaze’s sec-ond goal.
Ninth-grader Darby Lofthus
made the start in goal for the Blaze and stopped six shots.
Against Chanhassen, Blahnik scored three times.
Blahnik’s eight goals give her 24 for her career in 25 career games. Former Blaze standout Lauren DiGregorio fi nished her three-year career in 2009 with 43 goals, which would likely rank her pretty high, if not No. 1 overall, on the school’s all-time scoring list if goal-scoring records were kept at the school.
Burnsville had one of the domi-nant programs in the state in the early-to-mid 1990s, including back-to-back state titles in 1992-93, so there were likely some talented scorers on those teams as well.

Gridders begin the grind
BY TOM SCHARDIN
The Burnsvil le football team let a victory get away in the coaching debut of Tyler Krebs.
The Blaze led 12-0 midway through the third quarter, but turnovers and miscues led to a 20-18 home loss to Bloomington Jefferson in a South Suburban Conference game.
It was a tough start for the Krebs’ era. It appeared the Blaze had this game in hand leading 12-0.
But Jefferson scored its fi rst touchdown on a long pass and scored its second on a punt snap that sailed over the head of the Burnsville punter that was recovered in the end zone, giving the Jaguars a 13-12 lead.
Despite the miscues, the Blaze still had a chance to pull out the win. Sophomore run-ning back Ben Sherman ran 31 yards for a touchdown with about six minutes left to play to cut the margin to two points (20-18).
The Blaze went for two, but senior quarterback Dan Motl was sacked for a 10-yard loss.
Burnsville’s defense, led by seniors Mike Callanan and Evan Voxland, forced a three-and-out, giving the Blaze the ball back and a chance to go on a game-winning drive with three minutes to play.
But Burnsville muffed the punt. Jefferson made two fi rst downs and ran out the clock.
Jefferson was able to snap a 10-game losing streak with the win that dated back to the 2009 season. In fact, Jefferson’s last win was at Burnsville in the 2009 Section 3AAAAA quar-
terfi nals, winning 28-6.Stats and scoring summary
for the game were not pro-vided.
Burnsville returned to fi eld Friday (results not available at press time) at No. 8-ranked Rosemount, the Class 5A state runner-up last year, in a confer-ence game.
Rosemount won its season opener, 28-6 at Bloomington Kennedy.
Burnsville will return home Friday, Sept. 16 to face Kennedy in a league game at 7 p.m.

“We did some good things,” said Lakers coach Matt Ge-genheimer. “I thought in the fi rst half our defense played very tough.”
“The kids were disap-pointed with the loss, but in the long run playing a team like Wayzata is going to make us a better football team,” added Gegenheimer.
After senior Matt Arends hauled in his second touch-down pass of the game early in the third quarter – a 25-yard strike from sophomore quarterback Nick Rooney – that cut the Trojans’ lead to 26-20.

Both Blaze teams win fi rst invite
CROSS COUNTRY
Ahead of the fi eld
BY TOM SCHARDIN
The Burnsville boys cross country team opened its season overcoming the scorching, 90-degree heat to win its fi rst competition.
Led by senior Abdul Salan, the Blaze had four runners in the top eight at the South High Tigers Invitational Sept. 1 at St. Catherine College in St. Paul.
Salan won the 5,000-meter race with a time of 16 minutes, 58 seconds.
The Blaze had 36 team points, well ahead of runner-up Minne-apolis South (63). Henry Sibley was third in the seven-team fi eld (75), followed by Minne-apolis Washburn (107).
“We won both the junior var-sity and varsity division,” said Blaze coach Jeff Webber. “In the fi rst race (junior varsity), it was impressive as my team started out very slowly because of the heat. They were about in 20th place after three-fourths of a mile, but they kept roaring back and literally took the fi rst eight places.”
In the varsity race, Salan was with the leaders from the get-go, while senior Cole O’Brien was further back in the fi rst one-third of the race.
O’Brien, the No. 4-ranked runner in Class AA, is still working his way back from a knee injury he suffered dur-ing track last spring. He end-ed up seventh with a time of 18:05, three spots behind his teammate, ninth-grader Fay-sol Mamoud, who was fourth (17:30).
Junior Shawn Wong ended up eighth (18:10), followed by senior Justin Duda in 16th (19:15) and sophomore Andrew Brinkman in 19th (19:32).
Two days later, the Blaze competed in the Columbus Catholic Invitational in Marsh-fi eld, Wis.
Webber didn’t have his en-tire varsity there, including Salan.
O’Brien ran, taking fourth overall out of 203 competitors with a time of 16:18.7.
The Blaze fi nished 12th out of 26 teams with 355 points. Top-ranked Stillwater won the title (44), followed by No. 2 Wayzata (57) and LaCrosse Logan (107).
Wong was the Blaze’s sec-ond-faster runner taking 40th (17:46.1), followed by Duda in 107th (19:24.2), senior Mike

BY TOM SCHARDIN
The Prior Lake girls cross country team looked like state contenders at the Irish Invita-tional in Rochester Sept. 2.
The No. 5-ranked Lakers left the fi eld in its dust with five runners in the top 20, fi nishing with 60 points, well ahead of runner-up No. 12 Sti l lwater (107) and Rose -mount (116).
Robbinsdale Armstrong fi nished fourth in the 12-team fi eld with 120 points, followed by Lakeville North (140) and Minnetonka (146).
“Everyone had a nice, solid fi rst run,” said Lakers coach Dan Saad. “Our girls have high expectations. They want to do better and better each time out.”
Senior Taylor Scholl led the Lakers in the two-mile race fi nishing second overall out of 99 competitors with a time of 11 minutes, 57.5 seconds. Scholl is ranked No. 11 in the Class A A individual state poll.
Senior Samantha Anderson ended up 10th (12:26.9), fol-lowed by sophomore Mackenzie Schell in 13th (12:30.1), senior Lauren Bruha in 16th (12:36.5) and senior Madison Lesmeister in 19th (12:40.4).
Senior Kirsten Anderson and junior Madeline Schulze fi nished 24th (12:45.5) and 30th (12:53.7), respectively.
“Lauren was the biggest surprise,” said Saad.

But Wayzata fl exed its mus-cle from there, scoring three touchdowns before the third quarter fi nished, including a 70-yard scoring pass and a 10-yard interception return.
Surprisingly, the fourth quarter was scoreless after 41 points in the third.
“The biggest things that hurt us were turnovers, spe-cial teams and given up too many big plays,” said Gegen-heimer. “You won’t win too many games with those kinds of errors, especially against a team like Wayzata.”
Both Prior Lake quarter-backs – Rooney and senior To-pher Rose – had interceptions. The two combined to complete 3 of 11 passes for 115 yards.
The Lakers also had a punt blocked and a costly interfer-ence penalty right before halftime.
Prior Lake trailed 19 -7 at the break, but it could have been worse if not for the strong play of its defense, led by seniors Karmichael Dunbar, Taylor Case and Jake Deavers. The Lakers held the Trojans to a pair of fi eld goals, following a turnover and a blocked punt.
It seemed like Wayzata spent most of the first half deep in Lakers’ territory. Prior Lake forced a Trojans’ field goal from 1st and goal from the 1-yard line.
It also looked like Prior Lake would trail just 13-7 go-ing into the break. But a pass interference call set up the Trojans’ second touchdown, a 19-yard run with 1:40 to go before the break.
The pass interference came on a fake punt on fourth down just inside Lakers’ territory.
Prior Lake opened the scor-ing on a 60-yard touchdown
catch from senior Jack Kaiser. He took a screen pass from Rose, broke four tackles and raced down the sideline for the score.
The touchdown came on the Lakers’ first possession of the game. It was also aided by an offside penalty on the Trojans on fourth down, giv-ing the Lakers a fi rst down as well as a new set of downs.
In the second half, Prior Lake’s defense stopped Wayz-ata and then cut Trojans’ the lead to 19-14 when Rooney hit Arends on a 30-yard touch-down pass.
Wayzata answered with a 25-yard scoring strike of its own and the third-quarter barrage of scoring was on.
Junior Trevor Maxwell led the Lakers on the ground with 59 yards on seven carries, while Kaiser had 13 carries for 33 yards.
Arends had two catches for 55 yards, while Kaiser had the one catch.
Senior Taylor Case led the Lakers with eight tackles, along with an interception, while senior Jake Deavers and Arends both had six tackles.
“I feel good about how our defense played,” said Gegen-heimer. “In that heat (90 de-grees at kickoff), we probably wore down a little in the sec-ond half. A team like Wayzata will do that too you.
“We needed to establish the run the fi rst half and control the ball,” added Gegenheimer. “We couldn’t run it effec-tively.”
Prior Lake went for its fi rst win Friday (results not available at press time) at Bloomington Jefferson in a South Suburban Conference game.
The Lakers return home Friday, Sept. 16 at home ver-sus Rosemount, the defending Section 3AAAAA champion, at 7 p.m.

Positive signsPL boys fi nd the net to score upset
PL girls fall to No. 1 ranked team againBY TOM SCHARDIN
The Prior Lake girls soc-cer team has played the No. 1-ranked team in the state in back-to-back games.
Back on Aug. 30, the Lakers traveled to Eden Prairie and lost 1-0 to the defending Class AA state champions. However, the Eagles dropped to No. 7 in the poll following a loss to No. 6 Woodbury with Eagan taking over the top spot.
That is who the Lakers played host to in its South Sub-urban Conference opener Sept. 6. And the result was the same, a 1-0 loss.
Prior Lake is off to 2-2 start this fall, but the young team is showing just how talented it can be with close losses to a pair of perennial powers.
The Lakers will need to fi nd the net more frequently if they want to win the games against the top clubs.
“Just like the Eden Prairie game, we had our chances (against Eagan),” said Lakers coach David Graham. “We had Eden Prairie on the ropes in the last 12 minutes or so and couldn’t score.
“(Against Eagan), we domi-nated the fi rst 20 minutes of the second half,” added Graham. “I thought it was just a mat-ter of time before we’d crack one in.”
However, Eagan scored the game’s lone goal with about six minutes left to play.
Prior Lake was back on the field Thursday (results not available at press time) at No. 5 Burnsville.
Prior Lake is back on the fi eld today (Saturday, Sept. 10) at Chanhassen. The team re-turns to league action Tuesday, Sept. 13 at home versus No. 10 Lakeville North at 7 p.m.

The Prior Lake boys soccer team went the fi nal 10 games last season and the fi rst two this fall without scoring at least two goals in a game.
But in back-to-back games Sept. 3 and Sept. 6, the Lakers scored four goals – winning 2-1 at East Ridge in a non-league game and following with an impressive 2-1 home win over No. 4 Eagan in their South Suburban Conference opener.
“Our offense has been a work in progress, but it is coming along,” said Shebuski. “Even in our one loss (4-1 at Edina Aug. 31), we were a little more competitive and a little more dangerous than in the past. But we are not satisfi ed by any means.”
The Lakers (3-1 overall) led 2-0 at halftime over Eagan, getting goals from senior Zack Fennessy on a penalty kick and junior Logan Bunbury on an assist from sophomore Jhony Blanco.
Shebuski said the second half become survival mode, especially after Eagan cut the lead to one goal.
“The f irst hal f we were fantastic,” said Shebuski. “Things went well. The boys played the best they’ve played in a while.
“Eagan is a good team,” add-ed Shebuski. “They come out fi red up and ready to go in the second half and played more direct. It became a scramble for us for 40 minutes, but we held on. Last year, we would have ended up on other end of that game.”
Junior Andy Reickoff made six saves in the win. He also got the win in goal against East Ridge.
In that game, the Lakers trailed 1-0 at the break and scored twice in the second half.
Junior Dylan Lehrer scored the fi rst goal with senior Kevin Krueger getting the assist. Bunbury scored the game-winner.
“We started out slow, but it was nice to see the guys show a lot of character and battle back in the second half the way they did,” said Shebuski.
Prior Lake was back on the field Thursday (results not available at press time) at un-beaten Burnsville (3-0-1) in a league game.

Prior Lake junior Dylan Lehrer has helped the Lakers win three of their fi rst four games, including a 2-1 win over No. 4 Eagan Sept. 6.
DiGregorio, who is playing Division I soccer at Colorado College, scored 28 times her senior year.
At Blanhik’s current place, with two-plus years left to play, she’s on pace to score 60-plus goals. But that’s well in the future. The Blaze is focused on the now and trying to improve on last year’s 12 wins.
Meanwhile, in the win over Chanhassen, senior Bailly Drayton fi nished with a goal and three assists, while sopho-more Abby Soderholm had a goal and an assist for the sec-ond straight game.
Blahnik also had an assist in the Chanhassen win.
Junior Meghann Rudolph and Lofthus split the goaltend-ing duties with each playing one half. Neither saw much action with Lofthus getting two saves and Rudolph making one.
Against South, junior Tiana Khamvongsa also scored for the Blaze.
Burnsville was back on the field Thursday (results not available at press time) versus Prior Lake in a league game. The Lakers have allowed just three goals in four games, while scoring fi ve.

Prior Lake junior Jimmy White had the top fi nish for the Lakers at the Irish Invitational Sept. 2.
“She improved her time the most from our time trials. Mackenzie ran well too. She wants to be up there with Sam and she can be.”
Prior Lake is seeking its ninth straight state berth this fall with hopes on improving on last year’s ninth-place. So winning its fi rst invite is cer-tainly a good way to start for the perennial power.
Rosemount edged the Lakers for the Section 3AA title last year, so Prior Lake will be look-ing to take that back as well, along with challenging for the South Suburban Conference title. Second-ranked Lakeville South is the early conference favorite.
“We are right there with the top teams,” said Saad. “Can we get that top spot? If we continue to do our best and keep improv-ing, we have a shot.
“(Top-ranked) Monticello and Lakeville South are really strong,” added Saad.
The Lakers were back on the trails Thursday (results not available at press time) in their fi rst 4,000-meter race, the Redbird Invitational at Mont-gomery Golf Course.
Prior Lake will compete in the Lakeville Applejack Invitational Friday, Sept. 16 at Aronson Park at 3:30 p.m.
LAKER BOYS
Meanwhile, the Prior Lake boys were well back in the pack at the Irish invite.
Led by junior Jimmy White, the Lakers fi nished ninth out of 16 teams, scoring 264 points.
Third-ranked Rosemount won the title with 45 points, well ahead of No. 7 White Bear Lake (74) and No. 9 Mounds View (100).
Mahtomedi ended up fifth (111), followed by Forest Lake (120), Minnetonka (143) and Lakeville North (196).
White, competing in his fi rst-ever cross-country race, came in 34th overall out of 128 runners on the two-mile course with a time of 10 minutes. 56.7 seconds.
Senior Paul Evans ended up 45th (11:05.4), followed by senior Jackson Homstad in 51st
(11:11.2), ninth-grader Shawn Doherty in 60th (11:28.8) and sophomore Cole Nielsen in 74th (11:43.6).
Rounding out the Lakers’ top seven were ninth-grader Ben Garrison in 75th (11:44.8) and sophomore Adam Babcock in 87th (11:58.0).
Unfortunately for the Lakers, senior Stephen Bruha did not compete and will miss the rest of the season due to a personal matter. Bruha was supposed to be the Lakers’ No. 1 runner this fall after an outstanding spring on the track where he fi nished fi fth in the 800 meters and anchored two state relays, 4 x 400 and 4 x 800.
Saad said the Lakers have no choice but to simply move on. He was impressed with White’s fi rst-ever race.
“Jimmy dropped a lot of time from the time trial and had a nice race,” said Saad. “Jackson was solid and Cole did pretty good. I think Cole can go faster. I just have to tell him to run faster and he’ll do it. He’s that kind of kid. Shawn also had a nice day.”
The Prior Lake boys also competed in the Redbird Invite and will run at Lakeville.

“Cole looked pretty decent considering he has yet to do re-ally hard workouts,” said Web-ber. “I’m being conservative with his training to make sure the knee was good to go.
“The rest of the runners at Marshfi eld also ran great as it was a personal best for fi ve out of our eighth runners who took the trip. The team did not score that well, but that’s fi ne as we always start the season slowly.”
The Blaze has some time off before returning to the trails Sept. 16 in the St. Olaf Invi-tational at St. Olaf College in Northfi eld starting at 4 p.m.
St. Olaf is the site of the Class AA state meet, which is Nov. 5. O’Brien took second at state last year and fi nishing fourth in 2009.
The Blaze was fourth as a team last year after taking third the year before and 15th in 2008.
BLAZE GIRLS
The Burnsville girls made a quick impression in its fi rst time on the trails.
Led by sophomore Vivian Hett, the Blaze ran away from the other six teams at the South High Tigers Invitational.
The Blaze had three runners in the top fi ve, including the winner. Hett won with a time of 16:03, which was one-second better than Sally Donovan of Minneapolis South.
The Blaze fi nished with 38 team points, 21 better than runner-up Minneapolis South. Henry Sibley and Minneapo-lis Washburn both scored 70 points.
Ninth-grader Jane Koch ended up fi fth (16:38), followed by senior Rissa Lane in sixth (16:52).
“I’m very happy with how the girls raced,” said Blaze coach Charlie Burnham. “They went in thinking they could win and didn’t let the hottest day of our season distract them from that goal.
“We’ve got a lot of new run-ners this season and it was fun for them to fi nally get in a race,” added Burnham.
Sophomore Katie Dennis and ninth-grader Jordan Horner were the Blaze’s fourth and fifth runners, finishing 12th (17:57) and 16th (18:32), respec-tively.
Rounding out the Blaze’s top seven were seniors Laura Comee in 20th (18:52) and Si-erra Adrian in 22nd (19:06).
The Blaze was back on the trails Friday (results not avail-able at press time) in the Farib-ault Invitational.

Boys soccer: Blaze remains unbeaten
The Burnsville boys soc-cer team stayed unbeaten with an explosive second half Sept. 6.
The Blaze scored three times in the fi nal 40 minutes to win its South Suburban Conference opener – 3-0 at Rosemount.
The Blaze took a 3-0 -1 mark at home versus Prior Lake in a conference game Thursday (results not avail-able at press time).
“Each game is a test and right now we are passing them,” said Blaze coach Bill Toranza.
A g a i n s t Ro s e m ou nt , Toranza said it took his team a half to get used to slower playing conditions. The grass at Rosemount was a little longer than the slick artifi cial turf the Blaze plays on at home.
“It took us a while to ad-just,” said Toranza. “You have to deal with whatever conditions you are dealt with, but our timing was off in the fi rst half.”
Blaze senior goalie Dan Nimtz kept the game score-less in the fi rst half before the Blaze’s offense broke out. He earned his second shutout of the year.
Burnsville scored two goals in free kicks. Junior Luis Garcia got the fi rst one from about 25 yards out. He hooked the ball high and into the upper corner of the net.
“That ball bended around caught the upper corner,” said Toranza. “It was a beau-tiful goal.”
Garcia assisted on the second goal, scored by ju-nior Scott McNulty. Senior Eduarda Perez put the game out of reach scoring on a free kick.
Burnsville plays host to St. Michael-Albertville in a non-league game Monday, Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. and then returns to league action Sept. 13 at Lakeville South at 5 p.m.
Volleyball: Blaze suff ers fi rst defeat
The Burnsville volleyball team wasn’t on top of its game in its non-conference match Sept. 6.
The Blaze (2-1) sniffed the Class AAA state poll, receiving some votes for the top 10.
But after a losing at home in three games to Chaska (25-18, 25-22, 25-20), those votes may be lost when the next poll comes out.
But polls don’t matter in September and the Blaze certainly isn’t going to panic after one match.
The Blze is playing in the two day Marshall Invita-tional, which began Friday and ends today (Saturday, Sept. 10).
Burnsville opens South Suburban Conference play Tuesday, Sept. 15 at No. 5-ranked Lakeville South at 7 p.m.
Against Chaska, senior Alli Butler led the Blaze in the loss with 10 kills, adding 12 assists and six digs.
Senior Camille Benson and sophomore Greta Geist each led with eight digs, while sophomore Lauren Randall had six. Randall also had seven kills, while junior Nicole Mehr had fi ve and junior Nikki Brolin had four.

But the Lakers stumbled in their last two on the road, losing in fi ve games at Farib-ault Sept. 6 and falling in four games at Chanhassen Sept. 1.
Against Faribault, the Lakers won two of the fi rst three games (25-22, 19-25, 25-23). But Prior Lake couldn’t close the match out, falling 25-20 and 15-13 in the fi nal two.
Against Chanhassen, the Lakers lost the first game (25-16) and won the second (25-19). But the Storm rolled in the fi nal two (25-9, 25-11).

Netters keep the focusLakers open with seven straight winsBY TOM SCHARDIN
The Prior Lake girls team remained perfect on the fi rst day of school.
The Lakers easily swept all three doubles matches en route to a 6-1 non-conference home win over Holy Angels Sept. 6.
Prior Lake improved to 7-0 on the year, including a 5-2 win at Eastview in a South Subur-ban Conference match Sept. 1.
The Lakers took a 3-0 league mark into their conference match versus Lakeville North Thursday (results not available at press time).
Prior Lake is on the road Tuesday, Sept. 13 at Lakeville South and returns home Sept. 15 to face Apple Valley. Both conference matches start at 3:30 p.m.
“(Eighth-grader) Chloe Hall lost a tough three set match at No. 1 singles, but otherwise we were able to win fairly easily against a good (Holy Angels) team in our section,” said Lak-ers coach Kris Rosborough. “The girls all did a good job of staying focused and playing smart on the fi rst day of school, which can be a diffi cult day to play a match on.”
The Lakers didn’t lose a set in doubles play. In fact, they lost just fi ve total games.
Junior Savanna Petersen and eighth-grader Grayce Pe-tersen rolled at No. 1 (6-2, 6-2), while seniors Alex Fasking and Caitlyn Gengler had no trouble at No. 2 (6-0, 6-0). Sophomore Nikki Henderson and eighth-grader Sydney Soeffker cruised at the third spot (6-0, 6-1).
In singles, seventh-grader Savanna Crowell won at No. 2 (6-2, 6-3), followed by wins at No. 3 from ninth-grader Dani Keller (6-3, 6-0) and at No. 4 from sophomore Sarah Hender-son (6-1, 6-0).
Hall lost 7-6, 4-6, 6-3 at No. 1 singles.
Against Eastview, the Lak-ers were able to remain focused in the 90-degree heat and one day after beating Eagan 6-1. The Wildcats are the defending Section 3AA champs.
“We had to battle hard, but we came away with another win,” said Rosborough. “East-view is a strong team and we did not play our best. But in the end it is about fi nding a way to win even when you aren’t play-ing your best.
“I think it was hard for a lot of the girls to come off such a high from (the win over Eagan) and remember we still had a really tough match,” added Rosborough. “In the end, it will be a positive that we had that
situation to deal with because now the girls know not to think ahead too much or look past good teams.”
Against Eastview, win-ning in doubles were the No. 1 team of Savanna Petersen and Grayce Petersen (6-0, 6-2), the No. 2 team of Fasking and Gengler (6-7, 6-1, 6-1) and the No.
3 team of Soeffker and Nikki Henderson (6-3, 6-4).
In singles, sophomore Dani Keller won in three sets at No. 3 (6-7, 7-5, 7-6), while Sarah Hen-derson rolled at No. 4 (6-4, 6-0).
Crowell lost for the fi rst time this season at No. 2 singles (6-4, 6-3), while Hall fell at No. 1 (6-2, 6-3).

The Burnsville girls ten-nis team forged over the .500 mark with a non-conference win Sept. 6.
The Blaze swept all three doubles matches en route to a 6-1 win at Farmington.
The Blaze improved to 3-2 on the year and is 1-2 in the South Suburban Conference follow-ing its 6-1 win at Bloomington Jefferson Sept. 1.
“It was a good, solid win for us,” Blaze coach Ben Stapp said of beating Jefferson.
Stapp’s team went for its second league win Thursday (results not available at press time) at Bloomington Ken-nedy.
The Blaze returns home Tuesday, Sept. 13 to face Apple Valley in a league match, plays at South St. Paul the following day and returns home Thurs-day, Sept. 15 to take on Eagan. All three matches start at 3:30 p.m.
The Burnsville Invitational is also set for Saturday, Sept. 17 starting at 9 a.m. Teams in the fi eld are: Shakopee, Henry Sibley and Holy Angels.
Meanwhile, in the Blaze’s six wins versus Farmington, it didn’t lose a set.
The one loss was at No. 4 singles where senior Toni Carl-strom fell in three sets (2-6, 6-4, 6-3).
At No. 1 singles, junior Em-ily Wollmuth rolled to a 6-4, 7-6 win, while senior Rachel Raden won at No. 2 (6-2, 6-4) and senior Brita Preus won at the third spot (6-3, 6-2).
In doubles, the Blaze’s No. 1 team of senior Anne Beckel and Miki Samz won (7-5, 6-1), while the No. 2 team of juniors Sarah Davidson and Jessica Nagel rolled (6-0, 6-1) as did the No. 3 team of senior McKenna Stebbins and junior Sydney Zimmer (6-4, 6-1).
Against Jefferson, the Blaze swept all four singles match-es.
Wollmuth won at No. 1 sin-gles (7-6, 6-4), while Raden won at No. 2 (6-7, 6-1, 6-4). At the third spot, Preus won easily (6-1, 6-4), while Carlstrom won at No. 4 (6-1, 7-6).
In doubles, the Blaze’s No. 2 team of Davidson and JNagel won in straight sets (6-0, 7-5), while the No. 3 team of Zimmer and Stebbins won in three sets (2-6, 7-6, 6-4).
At No. 1 doubles, the Blaze’s team of Beckel and Samz lost by default. Stapp said the match was retired early due to the weather (90-degree heat).

GIRLS SWIMMING
Blaze wins seven events in its fi rst two duals, but drops bothBY TOM SCHARDIN
The Burnsville girls swim-ming team has won more events than of each of its competitors in its fi rst two South Suburban Conference dual meets this fall.
But the Blaze lost both of them – 93-77 at home Sept. 6 to Lakeville South and 92-86 on the road at Eastview Sept. 1.
Meanwhile, Burnsville will be out the services of sopho-more standout Alexis Dobrzyn-ski, who is out six weeks with an injured ankle she suffered before the Lakeville South dual.
Dobrzynski was a state en-trant last year in the 100-yard backstroke and was on two state relays. The good news is the girls swimming season is the longest off all the fall sports ending right before Thanksgiv-
ing with the state meet. So Dobrzynski should be
back with enough time to get herself in shape and be a factor down the stretch for the Blaze.
The Blaze will get some time off before its next conference dual – at Eagan Thursday, Sept. 15 at 6 p.m. Burnsville will com-pete in a non-conference dual at Moorhead the following day.
In the loss to Lakevil le South, the Blaze won seven events to the Cougars’ four.
Junior Anna Elling and eighth-grader Angela Le each won two individual events. Le won the 200 freestyle with a
time of 2 minutes, .96 seconds and the 100 butterfl y (1:01.48).
Elling won the 200 individu-al medley (2:13.62) and the 100 freestyle (55.53).
Senior Teresa DiGregorio captured the 500 freestyle (5:34.09) and was second in the 100 breaststroke (1:15.25).
DiGregorio, Elling and Le, along with junior Kelly Be-low, won the 200 medley re-lay (1:58.45), while Elling, Le, ninth-grader Sarah Jacob-son and eighth-grader Sidney Christopherson captured the 200 freestyle relay (1:46.74).
The Blaze’s 400 freestyle re-lay of Christopherson, Bellow, Jacobson and DiGregorio was second (4:09.19).
Senior Julia Kramer ended up second in the 100 backstroke (1:08.81), while Bellow was third in the 50 freestyle (28.01).
Against Eastview, the Blaze also won seven events with Elling and Le again winning twice.
Elling captured the 200 free-style (1:59.90) and the 500 free-style (5:20.22), while Le won the 100 butterfl y (59.74) and the 50 freestyle (25.22).
DiGregorio won the 200 indi-vidual medley (2:21.31) and was second in the 100 breaststroke (1:13.99).
Elling, DiGregorio, Le and Dobrzynski made up the win-ning 200 medley relay (1:54.99), while Le, Elling, Dobrzynski and Christopherson won the 400 freestyle relay (3:53.35).
The Blaze’s 200 freestyle team of Christopherson, Di-Gregorio, Jacobson and Below took second (1:50.31). Kramer fi nished second in the 100 back-stroke (1:10.13).

SAVAGE AREA WOMEN OF TODAY
Leaving the world a better place
StacyPearson
Group celebrates fi rst year as a chapter; focuses on community service, personal growth and fellowship BY AMY LYON
The Savage Area Women of Today recently celebrated its fi rst birthday as a chapter, but rather than indulging in gifts of their own, the members rounded up party supplies and created 24 birthday bags for the CAP Agency food shelf that included cake mix, frosting, balloons, plates and napkins – all the ingredients for a child’s birthday party.
And in the last year, they’ve packed craft kits, meals and laundry detergent, collected school supplies, books and purses, and raised money for a variety of organizations. In between all of that they’ve gathered for family craft activities, had picnics, experienced guided meditation, gone shopping and held monthly chapter meetings.
Giving back is part of the group’s mission statement, along with personal growth and fellowship, and those qualities embody how each of the women strives to be on a daily basis.
Especially founder Stacy Pearson.
The resident of Savage became a member of the Eden Prairie chapter in 2003 when she lived in the city. She served as chapter president and even became involved at the state level with the Minnesota Women of Today.
Last year her daughter started kindergarten in Prior Lake and Pearson found her-self participating less in the Eden Prairie chapter because of the drive.
“I wanted to start serving my local community,” said Pearson. “I wanted to start something here and meet more people right here in my community.”
So she did, and on Aug. 31, 2010, the Savage Area Women of Today became an offi cial chapter.
“I’ve always been a volun-teer. I was part of a scouting family when I was young and in college I was involved in organizations that gave back,” said Pearson. “I missed that. I wanted to give back again.”
NONPOLITICAL AND NONRELIGIOUS
The Savage Area Women
of Today is a chapter of the Minnesota Women of Today, which is a member of the United States Women of Today. It’s nonpolitical and nonreli-gious, and it’s been around for 55 years.
Most of the 22 members of the local group are from Savage, Prior Lake and Burnsville, but a few travel from Shakopee and Eagan as well.
“There are no offi cial boundaries,” said Pearson. “But we serve the communi-ties in and around Savage.”
Pearson especially likes the Women of Today organization because “there’s no commit-ment to any one cause or any one thing.”
Instead, chapters are invited to choose the organizations they want to help and decide as a group what upcoming activities to participate in.
“We like to try different service projects that help out our community,” said Pearson. “If a members comes to us and says their really passionate about something and it meets with our mission, we’ll probably try it out.”
Briana Capra lives in Savage and serves as president. She learned about the Minnesota Women of Today three years ago at a women’s expo when she gave the organization her name and told them if there was ever a local chapter she wanted to be involved.
“A year ago I didn’t know any of these women,” Capra said, gesturing to a table full of members assembling birthday bags. “I’m making new friends and making a difference.”
Julie Briggs of Prior Lake enjoyed the group’s recent trip to Feed My Starving Children where they packaged meals to be sent to malnourished children around the world.
Cindy Spencer lives in Apple Valley and recently moved to Minnesota from Mississippi. She attended her fi rst meeting with Kathy Roth of Burnsville.
“I told Cindy that since she’s new to the area, this would be a great way to make friends and give back to the community,” said Roth. “It can be hard to break into a group of friends.”
Roth likes that participation is at each
