Finishing as a teamBoy Scouts from the same troop reach Eagle Scout togetherBY ALEX HALL

[email protected]

Making Eagle Scout is a rare accomplishment, to say the least. In 2008, 5.7 percent of those in Boy Scouts achieved Eagle Scout. Through 2008, only about 2 percent of those who had ever been in Boy Scouts had achieved the rank.

For six boys from Savage, Prior Lake and Jordan, their

accomplishment is even more unique.

Drew Christensen of Savage, Michael Dunning of Savage, Sam Farnen of Savage, Mike Goehring of Jordan, Zach Johnson of Prior Lake and Phillip Rasmussen of Savage all joined the scouts around the same time in fi rst grade, and they all joined Troop 333 in 2004.

Now, just months after achieving a huge life milestone,

graduating high school, they got to celebrate another one: achieving Eagle Scout rank. And as they earned that achievement together, going on trips together, helping each other with their Eagle Scout projects, they decided that they had no choice but to be honored together.

“We’ve been together for so long we fi gured we might as well end it together,” said Johnson.

A RARE ACHIEVEMENT

Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouts division. Requirements include earning a number of merit badges and demonstration of Scout Spirit, service and leadership.

Typically, when a scout reaches Eagle rank, he gets his own

Couple robbed at gunpoint in casino parking lotBY LORI CARLSON

A St. Bonifacius man is accused of robbing a Brooklyn Park couple at gun-point at Little Six Casino shortly after midnight on Mon-day.

A h i A l ajuw a n Montgomery, 25, al-legedly approached the couple as they were getting out of their car in the casino’s parking lot at 12:11 a.m. Monday, pointing a weapon (later discovered to be a pellet gun) and demanding money. He fl ed with a wallet, a purse and the gun, police said.

Montgomery is in the Scott County Jail on $75,000 bail and has been charged with fi rst-degree aggravated robbery.

High-quality surveillance video is credited with helping Prior Lake police track down Montgomery. Ca-sino video footage shows Montgom-ery arriving at Mystic Lake Casino shortly after 9 p.m. Sunday and later getting into his car at 11:35 p.m. He’s seen driving the short distance toward the C&D Liquor store near Little Six Casino. He parks and then walks to the Little Six parking lot, where he waits for 20 minutes until the couple arrives. Police said the footage shows the gun in Montgom-ery’s left hand.

Casino video captured the license plate number of the vehicle Mont-gomery was driving and tracked the car to his girlfriend, who lived with him in St. Bonifacius. Police arrested Montgomery at his home on Monday afternoon.

Another institution leaving downtown area

Construction workers are putting the fi nishing touches on the new location of Associated Bank at 7533 Egan Drive (County Road 42.)

Associated Bank on Princeton Avenue will close Aug. 19 and reopen on County Road 42 Aug. 22BY ALEX HALL

[email protected]

With the post offi ce moving to the city campus 17 years ago, the library leaving downtown almost 15 years ago and the fi re station on Quentin Avenue being demolished this sum-mer, some downtown residents might be asking: What’s next to leave?

The answer? The Associated Bank branch on Princeton Avenue.

The bank is the latest downtown institution to leave the area in search of greener pastures.

According to Associated Bank Director of Public Relations Autumn Latimore, the bank decided to move

the branch to its new location at 7533 Egan Drive (between Buffalo Wild Wings and Wendy’s on County Road 42) because of the newer, bigger building, and because they felt it was a much more central location better suited to service a greater number of customers.

“It’s just a larger, nicer facility for customers,” said Latimore, “and we’re also better situated to serve customers who are in Prior Lake, Burnsville, Shakopee, so it gives them another resource as well.”

But not everybody is thrilled about the move.

Mary Peterson, resident manager at the Hamilton, a 55-plus living facil-

ity in downtown Savage, feels that los-ing the bank is another example of the downtown area losing its downtown-type luster.

She said that one of the selling points she used for potential resi-dents was the convenient location of many community institutions, like the bank.

Now, Peterson says, that conve-nience factor is gone. “It’s getting really desolate here,” she said, “and there’s not much to offer here as far as convenience.”

Many residents of the Hamilton said the bank has been very good to

A life dedicated to faith and familySavage resident Marie McAndrews passed away last month at the age of 101BY ALEX HALL

[email protected]

She was a dedicated mother, a passionate school teacher and a devoted member of the church. These were the things that came to defi ne the life of Savage resident Marie McAndrews, who died at the age of 101 on July 9.

Marie is remembered by her family and friends as a woman who never gave up and always put others before herself.

“Whatever we needed, she would come up with it,” said Margaret Eustice, one of Marie’s three daughters. “We never felt that we ever would be deprived or in need, even though (my parents) were poor and really didn’t have any money to spend.”

And her strength was apparent. She always insisted on taking care of herself, and she did just that. Marie lived independently until she was 98-years-old.

TEACHING EARLY

Marie’s independent streak started in childhood. She was born Marie Fox on April 18, 1910 to a German farm family in Watertown, S.D., as the oldest of seven children.

“With that privilege and curse of being the oldest, she had a great sense of responsibility for everyone else,” said Eustice. “You almost become a second mother to your siblings.”

Marie graduated from high school a year early and spent the next year working on the farm for her father so she could raise enough money to attend Northern State Teacher’s College in Aberdeen, S.D. She spent 18 months in Aberdeen before she embarked on the only profession she had ever envisioned for herself: teaching schoolchildren.

In 1929, Marie got her fi rst job teaching in a one-room country schoolhouse near Watertown, SD. and she returned to college each summer to earn more teaching credits.

To make it to the school, Marie had to drive. So she and

superintendent of the school, only corresponding with him back and forth through the mail. So she ended up being hired – by mail.

MEETING ‘THE ONE’

Marie then moved in with another family who lived near the Burnsville school. Everything seemed to be working out, except for one rather large detail: the family she was living with was Lutheran, and she was Catholic.

Marie would need a ride to the local Catholic church on Sundays, so her host family hooked her up with the McAndrews family of Burnsville, who lived on a farm just down the road and who were also Catholics.

So in 1937, Marie became a parishioner at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Savage when she started attending with the McAndrews. Marie got to know the family very well over the next few years, especially their son, John.

She and John went to numerous country dances, movies and basket socials together, becoming great friends in the process. That friendship eventually turned into something more, and on June 16, 1941, the two married in front of family and friends in Watertown, S.D.

Eustice said that Marie didn’t even know that John was nine months older than her until they had to sign their marriage certifi cate. “During the four years they went out, my mother always thought he was younger,” Eustice said.

After the marriage, they moved into a farm adjacent to where the original McAndrews farm was. To this day, there is a street in Burnsville named after John McAndrews and his brother that runs nearby where their two family farms used to be.

The McAndrews ended up having fi ve children. One of them, John Michael, died of pneumonia at the age of 1. After Marie had children, she gave up teaching for 19 years to be a full-time mother and farmer.

“At the time, it wasn’t really acceptable for married women to be teachers,” said Ann McAndrews Day, another of Marie’s daughters.

“I think it was considered a moral defect,” Eustice added laughing.

Marie particularly had a penchant for sewing and crocheting, and it was something she did her entire life until her death in July. “We never had store-bought items of clothes until we could buy them ourselves,” said McAndrews Day.

Eustice said Marie sewed countless items, such as clothing and prayer shawls, for friends and family.

Marie was a domestic whiz in other ways too, growing vegetables, remodeling the house and taking care of any other projects she could think of. “She could do anything. We always joked that she was the original Martha Stewart,” said McAndrews Day.

In the early 1950s, the McAndrews were uprooted when the brand new 35W Interstate was constructed and ran right through their farm. But instead of looking at it as a tragic circumstance, the family looked at it as an opportunity.

They took their compensation from the 35W project and moved to a farm in Rosemount so they could be close to a Catholic school for their children. They also left St. John the Baptist to attend the closer St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Rosemount.

In addition to her participation in the church, Marie loved to fi nd other ways to involve herself in the community. She started 4H clubs in both Burnsville and Rosemount, and she even organized several plays. “Even my father had roles in the plays,” Eustice said chuckling.

RETURN TO TEACHING

And when the kids had all gone off to college, Marie returned to teaching, working for several years at St. Luke’s Catholic School in St. Paul and then in District 196 in Rosemount.

Marie loved teaching fi rst grade, and her true passion was teaching kids to read.

“She really believed that if you could learn to read, you could achieve anything else you wanted to in school,” said Eustice.

But as Eustice tells it, Marie taught more than just children.

She also tutored adults who had trouble reading, and on one occasion, she taught a janitor at one of the schools she worked at that had never learned read.

“Teachers were always leaving instructions for him on the blackboard, but he never seemed to follow them,” said Eustice. So Marie would have the man over for reading lessons on a weekly basis.

Marie also had children over from St. John the Baptist to tutor them in reading.

RETIREMENT

After Marie re-retired from teaching in 1976, she and John moved back to the Savage area so they could be near St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, where they re-enlisted as parishioners and attended daily mass. And in the early 1990s, the couple moved even closer to the church; right across the street.

While in their new home, Marie continued to hold bible studies and tutor students in reading. And, of course, she kept sewing. But when she wasn’t sewing, she also liked to keep herself busy with projects, even if they didn’t always seem age appropriate.

Eustice remembers coming over to her house in Savage one hot summer day when Marie was 85 years old, and Marie had taken down all the kitchen cabinet doors. Eustice found Marie in the garage where she was sanding the doors down and applying layers of polyurethane to them.

John died in 1999, and when Marie was 98, she moved into a senior living facility in Burnsville.

On her 100th birthday, Marie was attending mass at St. John the Baptist when

Father Michael Tix instructed the congregation to sing happy birthday to her.

“She was someone who always liked to sit in the back of the church, not make a big deal out of being there,” Eustice said laughing, “so I’m not quite sure what she thought of that.”

Even until the end, Marie continued to put everyone else’s needs ahead of her own.

“She would always offer to do something for you,” remembered McAndrews Day, “even at her Burnsville apartment when we were taking care of her, when we left, she would always ask ‘Is there anything I can do for you?’”

Marie, being the devout Catholic that she was, also loved to make rosaries and send them to missions, prisons and other places where Catholics could be found. So before she died, she made 140 rosaries and packaged them in neat boxes. She told her children that when she died, she wanted the rosaries to be given away as party favors at her after-funeral luncheon. “She said ‘I want people to take a rosary home and pray the rosary,’” said Eustice.

McAndrews Day said about 150 to 160 people attended her July 12 service at St. John the Baptist. “It doesn’t seem like a lot, but she outlived most of her contemporaries, and most of her contemporaries’ children,” Eustice said laughing.

Eustice and Day said their mother was someone everyone admired and someone they always looked up to. When asked what they learned most from Marie, McAndrews Day said “It was the attitude of never say never. If there’s something that needs to be done, you can do it. Between what you’ve got and what God has given you, you can get it done.”

Eustice agreed. “It was to always be hopeful, to know that you will get through this even if it’s hard. And to always trust in God and make faith a very important part of your life.”

her father headed into town on a horse and buggy to buy a 1929 Chevy Coupe for $765, then she had the car salesman teach her how to drive.

“We kids laugh because she never was a very good driver,” said Eustice. “But she drove everywhere, and miraculously she never got in an accident. She was a woman of great faith, so we would pray every time she left the house a prayer for safe travels.”

Marie was so insecure about her driving skills that she made sure to get to the school long before the students because she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to stop the car in time to avoid hitting them.

After teaching at several different schools over the next seven years, she took a job teaching in Leola, S.D., in 1936 at the urging of a college friend. As was practice at the time, Marie had to stay with the family of one of her students and had no choice but to share a bed with one of her female students.

The next year, with the Great Depression worsening and Marie only making $35 a month, she decided to look elsewhere for work, and ended up leaving to teach at a school in Burnsville. The school was located near where the intersection of Country Road 42 and County Road 11 are now.

It was out with the old wooden sign and in with the new electronic message board display when SDDI Signs installed the new sign at Community Park on Tuesday. The two-sided electronic display will be controlled from a computer at City Hall and could be changed daily. The sign will list upcoming activities at the park, at the McColl Pond Environmental Learning Center and throughout the community. The impetus for the sign was a $10,000 grant from the Jeffers Foundation earlier this year. The City Council voted in June on a design preferred by the Park Board and Communications Commission with a total cost of $27,980. The City’s portion will come from the Park Reserve Fund.

Fairview Clinic plans for February 2012 opening

Fairview Health Services intends to expand its health care services for Savage-area residents by opening a new pri-mary-care clinic and Institute for Athletic Medicine (IAM) in February 2012 next to Wells Fargo on County Road 42.

The site plan and building design were reviewed and unanimously approved by the Planning Commission Aug. 4, and the City Council will give final approval Aug. 15. Fairview will then be required to submit its fi nal building per-mit and expects to lay asphalt before the end of October.

The one-story brick build-ing is proposed at 5725 Lof-tus Lane – northwest of the intersection of County Road 42 and O’Connell Road – with approximately 8,100 finished

square feet, and 15 exam rooms and space for as many as six providers.

“It’s a very attractive build-ing,” said Planning Commis-sion Chair Chris Picard. “It makes for great synergy with that new medical building that’s just been finished on (County Road) 27.”

In exchange for relaxed set-back requirements, the Plan-ning Commission required that Fairview apply to the U.S. Green Building Council for LEED certifi cation, which recognizes projects that implement strate-gies for better environmental and health performance.

In order to be LEED certifi ed, the clinic must incorporate measurable green building de-sign, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.

According to Fairview, such ef-forts include electronic medical records and digital X-rays, and paper will only be used when patients need to take home medical information.

The primary-care clinic in-tends to provide patients with extended hours for appoint-ments while specializing in family practice. The clinic will offer preventive, acute and chronic care, as well as lab and X-ray services.

Fairview’s IAM will provide physical therapy and athletic training services for the com-munity, including the growing number of families and student athletes in the area.

Beckhoff Automation, LLC has proposed a 47,500-square-foot offi ce and warehouse fa-cility at the northwest corner of McColl Drive and Dakota Avenue that will house its U.S. headquarters.

The German company man-ufactures “personal comput-ers that run on high-powered systems,” according to Rory Johnson, a representative from Beckhoff.

Johnson, who lives in Prior Lake, further stated that Beck-hoff would bring “well-paying jobs and a benefi t to our com-munity.”

The company is currently located in Burnsville off of Nicollet Avenue, but is looking

for buildable space for future expansion.

“We’re expanding too fast,” said President Graham Har-ris, who lives in Savage. “We wanted to stay south of the river and we like the present facility, but there’s no space in Burnsville.”

Beckhoff’s current site is 16,000-square feet and Harris said the company is currently growing at a rate of 25 percent each year.

Harris said the Savage loca-tion would have 45-50 employ-ees upon opening.

The one acre site in Savage is located to the west of Fire Station 61 and the City Hall campus.

The proposed two-story of-fi ce building would be located on the south side of the lot with the warehouse situated to the north. The lot allows for future expansion to the north and ad-ditional parking.

The loading docks are lo-cated on the west side of the warehouse, and staff requested additional landscaping to help screen the area.

The Planning Commission recommended unanimous ap-proval of the applicant’s re-quests during the Aug. 4 meet-ing, and the application will go before the City Council on Aug. 15.

GUEST COMMENTARY

Fighting for the futureof Minnesota farmers

Even as a kid growing up in the Minneapolis suburbs, I knew that farms were important to our state’s identity – and to its economy. Also, to eating.

And as a Senator, I’m proud to support the farmers and producers who have been the lifeblood of our rural communities for generations.

As Minnesota’s voice on the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunities for our farmers in a future powered by clean, renewable, home-grown energy.

After all, Minnesota may not have oil or coal, but we do have wind – lots of it. And turbines are springing up all across the state, from college campuses to farms. Rural communities can be big wind winners, with farmers and land owners holding a fi nancial stake in clean energy production. The money stays in the local community, generating more economic development. And later this year, I’ll be introducing legislation to help more rural Minnesotans get involved in these community-owned wind projects.

But wind isn’t the only valuable resource we have in abundance. Despite a contentious debate, I believe that corn ethanol has been good for America’s drivers. And the ethanol mandate provides a necessary platform to get us to what’s next: cellulosic ethanol.

Cellulosic ethanol is happening. The fi rst commercial-scale cellulosic plant is being built this year in Iowa. And I want Minnesota to capitalize on the energy – and economic growth – that could come from wood wastes, grasses, and crop residues that don’t compete with food.

For instance, scientists from the U of M and Augsburg have developed a new biodiesel production process that uses oil from all kinds of feedstocks, including the seeds of inedible plants.

The future of ethanol is in cellulosic – and for Minnesota farmers, it’s an exciting future, indeed. But if we’re going to have cellulosic ethanol tomorrow, we can’t abandon corn ethanol today. That’s why I’ve fought attempts to end support for ethanol producers, and supported investment in ethanol infrastructure so we can be ready to take advantage of the next wave of advances in biofuels.

Renewable energy can be a game-changer for the Minnesota

farmers who grow the energy feedstocks, host or own the wind turbines, and raise the cattle that fuel the digesters. But I’m also committed to standing with producers as they tackle more traditional challenges.

For instance, as farmers across Minnesota know, railroads are able to charge virtually whatever they want – essentially holding the livelihoods of farm communities hostage. Recently, I testifi ed before the Surface Transportation Board, which regulates railroads, and urged them to enact new regulations to end the price gouging. The STB agreed to cut the fee farmers must pay to fi le a complaint from $20,000 to $350.

Meanwhile, I’ve pushed for country-of-origin labeling so that our dairy products can stand out in the marketplace. And I’m working to open up new foreign markets to our agricultural exports. Minnesota farmers turn out the best products anywhere, and as Senator, I’ve made it my mission to ensure that people the world over can fi nd that out, working with the Obama administration to improve access to the Chinese and Russian markets for our pork and poultry producers.

With the 2012 Farm Bill just around the corner, it’s my job to work with Sen. Amy Klobuchar to make sure that the concerns of Minnesota farmers are heard loud and clear on these and many other issues.

It’s a job I do with pride. Minnesota farmers have always fed the world. Now they have an opportunity to power our nation’s future – and a new wave of prosperity for rural Minnesota.

COMMUNITY VOICES

Vikings training camp should try to be more kid friendly

Times … they are a changing. Maybe in its simplest and most

unimportant form, that change can be seen at the Minnesota Vikings training camp.

Since our oldest son is home for a few days, the boys and I are heading off to Mankato to take in a practice. Unfortunately, it won’t resemble the training camp experience that I once knew.

Forty years ago, my friends and I would grab autographs from as many players as we could snare when they walked slowly from the practice fi elds to their locker room. Most of the players were tired, but accommodating, and we fi lled the lineup cards they gave out with autographs from Bill Brown, Gene Washington, Alan Page, Roy Winston and many others.

If my dad took us twice a year, we made a killing in the autograph department. The practice fi elds were surrounded by a short wooden snow fence that allowed us close access to all the action. When Bud Grant blew the whistle that practice was over, it was every boy, girl and player for themselves. It was controlled chaos for 10 minutes. We looked forward to it every year. We called it

“Christmas in August.”Today, the Autograph Zone in

Mankato features the linebackers. The kids are only allowed access to those individuals.

Thirty years ago, you could actually call a professional athlete and talk to him. I did that when I decided to do a magazine story for the National Hockey League on Joe Senser of the Vikings.

I was mildly surprised to see his name and phone number in the directory. When Joe picked up the phone at his home, he was happy to talk and suggested we meet at the Steak & Ale on Highway 494 a few

days later for lunch. My guess is that he paid for the

lunch, too. The “poor college student look” was in full force that day. The story ran. He was happy and I was thrilled. I made $200 for that article, but the real reward was the time I spent with Joe Senser.

So, why bring this all up? I’m not sure. It’s been on my mind. There are certainly many more important things going on inthe world, particularly in the past two weeks. But really, can’t a bunch of football players who are only in camp for 11 days take the time to sign autographs for kids on more than one day? My guess is that if the players were completely honest, save for a few bad eggs, they would be happy to accommodate the fans at camp. I really believe that.

My suggestion is to leave some things alone. It works and you can’t improve it. That’s especially true for things that don’t cost money and only result in smiles on the faces of kids.

SS-9 DECISION

Offi cials ‘should hang heads in shame’

Once again the city council and school board have shown they have no respect for public opinion.

After having a deal to NOT re-move those trees (SS-9 forest) for the new school, down they come. All for a road between Prior Lake Aggregates (PLA) and the high school.

You can’t expect us to buy into the idea that there are no under-the-table deals going on.

PLA wants to develop their prop-erty and need access the site. How convenient that SS-9 is next door. Do we really need more sports fi elds that will sit idle more than be used?

How much do the council mem-bers have to gain by voting for this travesty? I know any council mem-bers and school board members who are going to run again will be remembered at the polls.

All who voted for this should hang their heads in shame. Better yet, why not go to Washington D.C., where the real professionals that DO NOT

listen to the people work. It is people like you that have no business run-ning our lives.

THANK YOU

Many made Laker Variety Show a success

The weather was perfect and the crowd was great! Friday night was the second Laker Variety Show held during Lakefront Days.

There were acts of all ages and all types of talent. It was a wonderful evening. A very special thank you to committee chair, Sue Heaton. This evening would not exist without her dedication and drive, and her overall love of the arts. Defying illness and many crazy obstacles, Sue puts her heart and soul into what she believes in and makes it happen.

Another special thank you to April Passofaro and the Robotics team. April is an incredibly dedi-cated and organized lady – much appreciated!

There is not enough space here

for me to thank the many people that helped make this event possible. But know that you are appreciated. Brush up on your singing, dancing, or whatever talent you call your own and look for the show next year. Continue to support the arts! We have a lot of talented people in this community!

POLITICS

Infl exibility of current offi cials hurts us all

As a former Republican, I am outraged at the damage the current crop of Republicans has done.

At the state level, Republican in-fl exibility caused a state shutdown and has put our state credit rating in jeopardy.

At the national level, because of the total inf lexibility of the Republicans in dealing with the debt ceiling, our top credit rating is downgraded for the fi rst time in history.

Due to the same infl exibility, the

stock market is now crashing, cost-ing middle-income America count-less billions in equity losses, and we are possibly looking at a double dip recession which will likely cause massive additional job losses.

President Obama put forward a plan to shave $4 trillion off the national debt, but it was refused by the current Republicans. Why? President Obama’s plan had mostly cuts, but it was rejected because of revenue increases which closed loopholes for big business.

The plan thus violated the cur-rent Republicans “no new taxes” ideology. “No new taxes” sounds good, but what it really means is we will protect big business and the very wealthy, no matter what the consequences.

Current Republicans have voted to gut Medicare, Social Security, local transportation, education and health care, but absolutely forbid closing loopholes that benefit big business or raising taxes on the very wealthy, who have had massive tax cuts in recent years.

Who is ultimately responsible for these offi cials? Who put them in offi ce to let them do this damage?

Please think about that at the next election!

CITY COUNCIL

New Village Commons project has merit

As predicted by many, Ron Clark has come back with a new proposal for the Village Commons development.

While I was adamantly opposed to his original proposal, I felt it was ill-conceived and very poorly pre-sented, I believe his newest proposal has merit. It appears to be very well thought out and well presented.

I am neither a proponent of this project nor am I an opponent. I be-lieve the City Council should give this newest proposal very serious consideration.

As (City Administrator) Barry Stock clearly states, from a neighbor-hood standpoint, you can’t get any bet-ter than this. I am inclined to agree.

Savage State Bank was located at 32 E. Main St. (which is now 123rd Street) in downtown Savage. This picture appeared in advertisements for the bank that ran in the annual Dan Patch Days programs in the 1960s. The bank promoted itself as “your home-owned, independent bank,” with complete banking and insurance services. Howard Houston was the president, John Garago was the executive vice president and cashier and Carol Schlick was the assistant cashier. The building is still standing and houses Billy’s Sports Cards. After a new bank building was built, the city’s fi rst library moved into the space before it outgrew that location, too. Now the city owns the building and rents it out.

SLICE OF LIFE

Morning at the lake reveals glory of Minnesota magic

I have never understood the magical pull of a Minnesota lake. What makes people rush out of work on a Friday afternoon, throw everything in the back of the SUV and head north? Could it really be all that special, and worth all that time and money, to “go to the cabin?”

Ah, but now I am a believer! I am a believer because I’m writing this from a chair, on a dock, by a lake, with a loon, and the eastern sky is pink, and the cirrus clouds are glowing, and the sun is about to peek up over the horizon. Wait for it. Wait for it … Sunrise!

I take a breath and the tops of the trees are washed in light, and the lake is like glass, and the loon has surfaced just yards from my chair and I get it! I totally get why people rush out of the Cities to come lose themselves in moments like this.

The rising sun seems to have awakened Round Lake. An insect drones past above me, and dragonfl ies have begun to dart back and forth, up and down, looking like miniature helicopters as they chase after their morning meal of mosquitoes.

Steam rises off the lake, fi rst only by the neighbor’s dock, then spreading so the entire southern half of the lake is lifting lacy fi ngers to the sky. The sun glints off a spider web that hangs over the water, and the moment is so magical that I almost expect words to appear in the dewy strands, as in Charlotte’s Web, that might describe the morning. Glorious. Amazing. I tilt back a bit in my chair, staring at the web. Did I see those words? Or am I only thinking them?

The clouds change hue from rose to peach, and I wish for the tenth time that I had brought my camera down to

the dock. I briefl y consider going to get it, but I know that to stand and walk away would break the magic of the moment, so I sit and stare, trying to imprint this scene on my brain forever.

Soon there is a subtle shift in the energy along the shoreline, as if the lake has just realized there are things to get done before the heat of the day returns. Smoke rises from the Boy Scout camp on the north shore, and I hear a boat engine’s low throbbing in the distance. A green heron lands on a dead tree to my left, and I slowly turn my head to fully look at it. Why, oh why, didn’t I bring my binoculars down to the dock with me? I stare at the heron, which squawks once then stares at the water. In the water, I imagine there is a fi sh, staring at a minnow, staring at some algae, staring at…

How easy, how incredibly peaceful, to immerse yourself in a lake that is like glass and glowing with the sunrise.

I wish again for my camera and binoculars … No! It is perfect the way it is. If I had those things I would be fi ddling with them. Focusing on shutter speed instead of on the lake. Looking through my binoculars and not realizing that the wind has begun to stir, breathing energy onto the surface of the water. I might

have missed the moment when the fi shermen fl oated into view by the reeds, standing motionless, hats askew, steam rising around the boat.

Suddenly, a screen door bangs from the direction of the cabin, and the heron spooks and lifts off across the lake. I have only a few minutes – maybe seconds – to have this lake to myself. Others are awake now, and they will come down with their coffee cups steaming, quiet words of greeting as they check the cover on the boat. Or lift the minnow bucket and inspect the contents. I will point to how close the loon was to the dock, and we will look for sunfi sh hiding in the shadow of the pontoon.

In just a few hours the ski rope will be unfurling behind the boat, the dogs will splash in the water, and Nerf balls

will be lobbed to the sounds of much splashing and guffaws. The sun will be intense. The mood will be festive as we enjoy our last afternoon at the lake. Tomorrow morning we will pack up, lock the door on the cabin, and drive back to the Cities.

But I will take home with me a gift – one that I will open, and re-open, again and again. The gift of spider webs that might have spelled words. Of loons, and clouds, and steam rising from liquid glass. Indeed, I will forever treasure the magic of this past hour, when I sat and watched the sun rise on a quiet lake in northern Minnesota.

PET OF THE WEEK

Xena would love a home with you and hopes you’ll want her ‘security blanket’ sister, Zanthus, too. Xena is sweet, quiet and initially shy with new people. She adores head scratching and playing with toy mice and balls. Xena lets you put her in your lap and she stays as long as you pet her. She was born March 2011. Xena gets along with respectful kids, most cats, and hasn’t met dogs. Do you have a spot in your heart for Xena?

The above abandoned pet is being housed by the Carver-Scott Humane Society and is available for adoption. Pets have been checked by a vet, wormed, given updated shots, have a micro ID, checked for friendly dispositions and spayed or neutered if they are adults. The donation fees for a cat start at $165+ and start at $195+ for a dog. If you can give it a home, call the humane society at (952) 368-3553.

Several readers have submit-ted questions regarding the optimal age for orthodontic treatment. The answer var-ies, depending on a number of factors. Below are answers to the Top 5 Questions Par-ent Ask About Orthodontic Treatment Timing.1. At what age should my child be evaluated? The American Association of Or-thodontists recommends that all kids have a check-up with an orthodontic specialist by age 7.2. Are there early warning signs that my child may need orthodontic treat-ment? Crowded or crooked teeth, problems with biting or chewing, speech diffi culties or facial imbalance are signs that your child should be evaluated by an orthodontic specialist.3. What’s the most common age to begin treatment? Comprehensive orthodontics most often begins between the ages of 11 and 15. By this age most or all of the perma-nent teeth have erupted, and kids are growing rapidly. Or-thodontists take advantage of this growth spurt for effi cient correction of misaligned teeth and bite problems.

4. Why do some kids go through treatment at an early age? Kids with specifi c orthodontic problems benefi t from treatment at an early age (less than 10 years of age). Treating at a younger age allows the orthodontist to prevent or intercept more serious problems from occur-ring, and makes comprehen-sive treatment shorter, less complicated and easier on the child.5. What if my child does not get the recommended early treatment? For most patients, orthodontics can be completed at a later age, but is more likely to involve extraction of permanent teeth to resolve crowding, and may require extractions or correc-tive jaw surgery to correct more serious bite problems. For more information on Early Orthodontic Treatment or to schedule a complimentary screening exam for your child, contact Dr. Trudy Bonvino at Cos-mopolitan Orthodontics; 952-933-0917 or visit cosmoortho.com

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]

No one was in the garage or the apartment, but a woman who lives at the home just to the east, which is part of the same property, was helped to safety by two people who were on the lake and saw the fire. Hart-man said the woman and her husband rent the above-garage apartment to their son.

Two Prior Lake fi refi ghters were taken to the hospital to be treated for heat exhaus-tion or dehydration, and one fi refi ghter was injured during cleanup and had to receive stitches, Hartman said. Those

Gas prices drive increase in transit ridership The Suburban Transit Pro-

viders (STPs) experienced strong ridership growth dur-ing the fi rst six months of 2011. Ridership for the six providers ended June 30, up 7 percent at 2,561,073 compared to 2,393,861 at the end of June 2010.

The STPs represent 12 com-munities: Apple Valley, Burns-ville, Eagan, Rosemount and

Savage via the Minnesota Val-ley Transit Authority (MVTA); Chaska, Chanhassen and Eden Prairie via SouthWest Tran-sit; Prior Lake Laker Lines and Shakopee Transit BlueX-press service; along with Maple Grove Transit and Plymouth Metrolink.

The increase is attributable to high gas prices and service

to the University of Minnesota. BlueXpress launched new mid-day service and led the STPs with a more than 15 percent increase for the fi rst six months of 2011 over the same period last year. Minnesota Valley Transit ridership was up more than 7 percent and is on pace to set a record (surpassing the record set in 2008).

DPS cracks down on speeders traveling over 100 mphThe Minnesota Department

of Public Safety (DPS) Offi ce of Traffic Safety announced Tuesday that 21 motorists were ticketed for speeding in excess of 100 mph, and 72 drivers were cited for going more than 90 mph during a statewide speed enforcement campaign in July.

Enhanced speed patrols, co-ordinated by the DPS Offi ce of Traffi c Safety, State Patrol and the Minnesota Department of Transportation, will continue in select traffi c areas through September.

“Many motorists fail to see the dangers in speeding and don’t understand its deadly consequences,” said State Pa-trol Lt. Eric Roeske. “This campaign focuses on educating drivers that when your speed increases, so does your risk of crashing.”

DPS reports illegal and un-safe speeding factored in at least 86 deaths in 2010 – 65 per-cent occurred in rural areas.

The highest speeds recorded that resulted in a ticket during the July enforcement were: 135 mph (Benson Police); 118 mph

(Swift County Sheriff’s Offi ce); 110 mph (Fridley Police); 107 mph (St. Louis County Sheriff’s Offi ce); 106 mph (Blaine Police and Kandiyohi County Sheriff’s Offi ce); 105 mph (Anoka, Mar-shall, Norman and Washington county sheriff’s offi ces).

The average cost of a speed-ing ticket in Minnesota is around $120 for 10 miles over the speed limit. Motorists stopped at 20 mph over the speed limit face double the fi ne, and those ticketed traveling more than 100 mph can lose their license for six months.

The 12-month speed cam-paign targets specific “prob-lem” corridors in many parts of the state that have high numbers of deaths, serious in-juries, DWI arrests, and speed and distracted driving-related crashes.

The speed enforcement in-cludes a focus on aggressive driving behavior, such as tail-gating, abrupt lane changes and red light running. Roeske also cautions motorists to pass carefully, especially on two-lane rural roads on which most of the state’s fatal crashes

occur. DPS reports the dangers of

speeding include greater poten-tial for loss of vehicle control; increased stopping distance; less time available for driver response for crash avoidance; and increased crash sever-ity. Motorists should keep at least a three-second following distance, as it takes more than the length of a football fi eld to stop when traveling at 60 miles per hour.

Speed enforcement and edu-cation is a component Min-nesota’s core traffic safety initiative, Toward Zero Deaths (TZD). A primary vision of the TZD program is to create a safe driving culture in Minnesota in which motorists support a goal of zero road fatalities by practicing and promoting safe and smart driving behavior. TZD focuses on the applica-tion of four strategic areas to reduce crashes – education, enforcement, engineering and emergency trauma response.

To-date in Minnesota in 2011, there has been 194 traffi c deaths, compared to 229 at this time in 2010.

SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS

Tolerating ideas helps us understand them

Most of us have fi gured out that certain subjects of conversation can be stressful to friendly relationships.

Having been raised in an era when sex, religion and politics were considered forbidden topics in polite company, I believe it’s time we shrug off those old social habits. We all need to get better at discussing complex things.

It’s become increasingly obvious from our political life that in recent years we have only had vigorous discussions with people with whom we agree. How else do we explain a Congress that nearly let our country default on its debt, or leaders who blame the other party for our crisis of confi dence in their capacity to run the country?

While politics has never been a gentle sport, and hateful rhetoric, empty promises and back-room deals are familiar aspects of getting democracy done, we have never seen a modern Congress less able to talk together, fi nd common ground, and most of all, negotiate in order to satisfy the common good.

The posturing by extremist leaders has led to a lack of shared vision and burden bearing. Shame on us.

How did we all get here? The amazing reach

of technology may have something to do with this. Fewer and fewer of us read newspapers, while more of us spend time on the World Wide Web, listening to talk radio, and tuning into narrowly-focused cable news networks.

The huge diversity of media has allowed us to fi nd

company among those who share our particular ideas. While this can bring us a sense of community and companionship, it can also make our worlds ironically quite small as we seek only the company of like-minded folk.

State politics aren’t exempt. The upcoming vote in Minnesota on a state constitutional amendment to defi ne marriage as between one man and one woman has people lining up on one side of the issue or the other. Even thought the current federal law known as DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act, passed in 1996 defi nes marriage this way, it isn’t enough to ease some peoples’ fear that gay and lesbian families make marriage less stable, and the social fabric of our country and state less strong.

They see the several states that have legalized “gay marriage” as dominoes that have fallen through the power of state legislatures, judicial decisions and popular vote. They fear that Minnesota will be next.

Have you looked around your congregation lately?

Fewer and fewer young people see the relevance of the Christian church. The people that have consistently supported church are aging; levels of membership, giving and participation are all dropping steadily.

Roman Catholic parishes are closing, smaller congregations in rural America are linking or merging in huge numbers, even as new missions starts are scrambling to redefi ne church for the coming generations.

These are anxious, changing times. We live in an increasingly shrinking world, where we can share information instantaneously around the globe, yet fi nd ourselves growing less and less able to talk and share common ground with our neighbor next door or around the world.

If there was one emotional and spiritual skill I would wish on every person living in our times, it would be the ability to tolerate the dissonance of someone else’s ideas long enough to understand them, and then sharing our own, to seek common ground.

Our children desperately need us to act like the wise adults we pretend to be.

FIRE CALLS

BRIEF

Coon Rapids mandies from fall

A 43 -year-old man from Coon Rapids died on Friday, Aug. 5 after he fell while paint-ing a house in Savage.

Brian L ee Poeh ler was

painting a house in the 14300 block of Joppa Avenue when he fell from scaffolding, which left him unresponsive. Savage police, firefighters, Allina medical service and an emer-gency helicopter all arrived on the scene to help revive the man. Their attempts were

unsuccessful.Poehler is survived by his

wife Melissa and three chil-dren. A funeral was held for Poehler on Wednesday, Aug. 10 at the Washburn-McReavy Coon Rapids Chapel.

-Alex Hall

Montgomery initially de-nied committing the robbery, though he confi rmed he was at Mystic Lake Casino that night. He later admitted to the rob-bery when Prior Lake Detective Chris Olson interviewed him.

The couple, in their 20s, told police Montgomery approached them as the man was about to get out of his car. Montgomery allegedly demanded his wal-let, and the man complied. He then walked to the passenger-side door and demanded the woman’s purse. After she gave him the purse, Montgomery allegedly tried to shut the door, but the woman’s foot got caught in the door, causing an injury to her ankle.

Police found the black BB-caliber semiautomatic hand-gun Montgomery allegedly used nearby. They also retrieved items from the woman’s purse, which were strewn across a nearby road.

Prior Lake Police Lt. Randy Hofstad said the thorough and quick work of casino surveil-lance staff and police offi cers helped to track down the sus-pect. Olson said the surveil-lance that captured the license plate number was crucial in helping to solve the crime.

Police said Montgomery was convicted of an armed robbery in 2005 in Marion County, Ind.

Montgomery’s first court appearance is set for 8:30 a.m. Monday, Aug. 15.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS

Trudeau chargedin strangulation

A man from Savage accused of holding down and strangling his wife in their upstairs bedroom on July 29 is now facing a charge of domestic assault by strangulation.

Michael Anthony Trudeau, 47, could face up to three years in prison if convicted.

According to the complaint, police were called to the station to meet with Trudeau’s wife at 3:52 a.m. in regards to a domestic as-sault. The wife was in her pajamas with no shoes on, and was visibly shaking and having a hard time breathing.

Trudeau’s wife told police that she and her husband had gotten into an argument the pre-vious night about Trudeau’s daughter moving in with them. She left the house that night and returned at approximately 3 a.m.

When she returned, Trudeau was still awake and they began to argue again. Trudeau’s wife retreated to a bedroom where she lay on her back on the bed. Trudeau entered the room and sat on the edge of the bed. His wife told police she must have said something that upset him because he suddenly jumped on top of her, straddled her and pinned her arms above her head as he yelled and spit in her face. He alleg-edly said to her, “I could kill you right now if I wanted to.”

The struggle continued on the bedroom fl oor with Trudeau still on top of her, she said, at which point he allegedly placed one or both of his hands around her neck. She told police there were several moments where she either had diffi culty breathing or could not breathe.

Trudeau eventually allowed her to leave, she said, at which point she went to the Savage Police Department. When offi cers met with her, they observed areas of redness on her neck, chest, forearms and wrists.

Police then spoke with Trudeau, who ac-

knowledged they had been arguing and that the argument continued into the bedroom. But Trudeau said he wasn’t being physically combative, and that his wife kicked him in the shin.

He admitted to jumping on top of her and pinning her hands down when she made a comment about his daughter, but said he let her go when she spit in his face. Trudeau claimed she then went into the bathroom to start giving herself marks so she could get him in trouble.

Trudeau was previously convicted of killing a puppy in 2006, and sentenced to 30 days in jail and anger management classes.

Man receives nearly 5 years for rape of Savage woman

A 30 -year-old Apple Valley man, Kyle Grayling Tweed, was sentenced last month to nearly fi ve years in prison for raping his ex-girlfriend’s roommate.

Tweed was found guilty by a Scott County jury in May for the January 2010 rape of the woman from Savage.

Tweed is accused of committing a similar rape in Hennepin County during which he climbed into a woman’s bed while she was sleeping and attacked her. When she awoke, she told him to stop, but he continued.

Scott County Judge Rex Stacy sentenced Tweed to 58 months in prison. He will be placed on supervised release after serving two-thirds of his sentence.

The state sentencing guidelines for third-degree sexual misconduct range from 41 to 180 months, depending on the person’s criminal history.

At the time of his sentencing, Tweed’s con-victions were mostly driving-related, as well as a violation for an order for protection.

Members of the Tri-City SWAT Team attended a day-long training activity at Hidden Oaks Middle School in Prior Lake on Tuesday. The 29-person team’s training included a scenario in which a “shooter” at the school had been killed and another suspect was holding a woman hostage in an unspecifi ed location. Offi cers in groups spent almost two hours carefully combing the school for threats.

SWAT TRAINING

Aug. 3Firefi ghters responded to an acci-

dent involving three cars and a semi-truck at highways 13 and 101 at 5:42 p.m. The semi and two cars had gotten into an accident when a third car hit them causing more damage. An Allina ambulance was on the scene as there were minor injuries, but nobody had to be transported to a hospital. Firefi ght-ers assisted in traffi c control.

Aug. 4Firefi ghters were called to Conti-

nental Machines in the 5500 block of W. 123rd Street at 3:24 a.m. for a commercial fi re alarm. It was a false alarm caused by a power outage.

Aug. 6Firefighters were called to the

14300 block of Savannah Oaks Drive at 12:57 p.m. for a residential carbon monoxide alarm. It was determined to be a false alarm.

Firefi ghters were called to Cleary Lake Park at 7:13 p.m. to assist the Prior Lake Fire Department in rescuing four people in an overturned canoe. They ended up canceling the call as the victims were making it to shore just as Savage fi refi ghters arrived.

Aug. 7The fi re department responded to

a residential fi re alarm in the 4200 block of McColl Drive at 12:12 a.m. Nobody was home when they arrived, and after checking the exterior of the house they determined it was a false alarm.

The Savage Police Department is-sued 19 citations and responded to 243 incidents between Aug. 1 and Aug. 8. Some of those included:

CRASHESOn Aug. 2, a 41-year-old man from

Savage struck a 9-year-old girl from Savage with his car while she was cross-ing the street on Dufferin Drive. A doctor on the scene found that there were no injuries and Allina ambulance was not dispatched. The girl suffered cuts and scrapes but did not believe she hit her head on the ground.

On Aug. 6, there was a two-vehicle personal injury crash on the corner of S. Highway 13 and County Road 42. A 19-year-old man said the driver of the other car had stopped abruptly for a yellow light, and that he was unable to stop in time as he went skidding into the car. The 44-year-old woman who was hit claimed she had been stopped at a red light for four or fi ve seconds. The woman complained of neck pain but refused medical attention. Both vehicles pulled into a nearby parking lot where photos of the damage were taken and information was exchanged. The man’s car had extensive front-end damage and was towed, while the woman’s car had light rear-end damage and was driven away.

CRIMES AGAINST FAMILYOn Aug. 2, a man reported that he had left his home in

the 3900 block of West 126th Street and when he returned, a computer and video games totaling $1,700 were missing from the residence. When police arrived to investigate, they observed many unhealthy conditions for children to be living in and referred the case to human services.

Also on Aug. 2, police received a report of a young, unat-tended child walking around on Vernon Avenue. Police were able to locate the child and reunite him with his father.

DISTURBING THE PEACETwo juvenile females reported on Aug. 1 that while they

were at the McDonalds on County Road 42, a man who identifi ed himself as a 23-year-old named Derek approached them and offered to buy them alcohol. They told an adult when they got home and the adult alerted the authorities. The suspect could not be found.

A woman from Savage called on Aug. 2 to report that she believed her ex-boyfriend used her passwords to get into her Facebook account and post mean things about her. She was advised to change her passwords and given information about obtaining a harassment restraining order.

A 48-year-old man from Savage was cited for disorderly conduct on Aug. 6 for fi ghting with bouncers at Neisen’s Sports Bar and Grill after they tried to escort him out. Later that night, police were called back to Neisen’s regarding a large fi ght that appeared to be brewing. Police say there were more than 50 people there and there were several “pockets” of fi ghts happening. Savage police received assistance from the Scott County Sheriff’s Offi ce and the Shakopee, Prior Lake and Burnsville police departments in dispersing the crowd. One woman was injured during the dispersal. Also, fi fth-degree assault charges are pending against one woman in relation to the incident, and another woman reported to police the next day that all of the contents of her purse, valued at $90, had been knocked out at some point during the fracas.

Police arrested a 20-year-old man from Jordan on Aug. 8 after the man told police he was with his brother during a traffi c stop. Offi cers contacted Jordan police who were able to determine that the man was in fact not his brother, as he had stated, and that the man had fi ve outstanding warrants in Scott County. The man was arrested for the warrants and for giving false information to a police offi cer.

MISCHIEFOn Aug. 6, police received a report

of children toilet papering a house. The kids could not be located.

Late on Aug. 7, police were respond-ing to a call about kids riding bike and scooters and blowing air horns on Car-riage Hill Road when they received an-

other call about suspicious persons in the area. Police lo-cated one of the suspects, who was wearing all black and carrying a fl ashlight, and the suspect took off running down Carriage Hill Road. Police chased him on foot and caught him at gunpoint. The suspect took them to the other suspect, a juvenile, who was hiding in a minivan on Aquila Avenue.

Learning how to roll your kayak is insurance against panic, capsizingBY FORREST ADAMS

[email protected]

Kayaking, like canoeing and other types of boating, allows you to skim across the surface of the water.

But it’s unique in that you sit level with the water,

separated by a fi berglass shell from a world in which you cannot breathe.

Learning to paddle a kayak is simple enough: Place the paddle blade in the water near your toes. Pull the paddle back alongside the boat to approximately your hip. Lift the paddle blade and take a stroke on the other side.

Learning what to do if your boat capsizes takes a bit more practice, a small group of kayakers found out recently at Lake Minnetonka Regional Park in Minnetrista.

Six paddlers received lessons in the two-week Three Rivers Park District Intro to Kayak Rolling class. Through numerous dunks in the water, they learned to be comfortable tipping over a kayak and the proper techniques for rolling the boat right side up while in it.

As you might imagine, kayak rolling is not something you should try without a qualifi ed teacher because of the drowning risk. It entails turning your boat over, leaving your body submerged upside down in the water, before turning the boat upright with you still in it.

Use a nose clip or water will rush into your nasal passages as surely as the Minnesota River fl oods in the spring. Even with the clips, water might sneak into your nose if the clips aren’t tight enough. Don’t worry, it’s common.

“You’ll feel like an otter at the end of the night,” Alex McKinney, a Three Rivers Park District kayaking instructor, told the pack of students, all middle-aged adults.

So be it. That is what they signed up to do.

The students were all recreational Twin Cities kayakers with no kayaking ambitions beyond knowing how to handle a kayak fl ip.

Dan Fjell, paddle sports coordinator from Three Rivers Park District, and McKinney demonstrated a kayak roll and the appropriate response. The pair has taught kayak rolling so many times it’s almost like second nature to them. It looked easy, and before long class members were intentionally fl ipping their boats and dunking themselves into the water.

Nose clips in place, they fl ipped, coughed as water snuck into their noses, fl ipped, helped their “buddy” and fl ipped again. Paddling instructors were within an arm’s reach, and gradually the class learned to tuck its head, snap its hip and roll.

Tuck, snap and roll. It’s easy to say but apparently harder to do. The head tuck is important, so you fl ip up but not over again. The hip snap is the main skill employed to roll the kayak upright.

It’s not something you learn on paper but takes practice and a willingness to get very, very wet. Experts said it takes hours, rather than minutes, to master the kayak roll.

Rolling a kayak may not be high on your priority list of things to learn, but if you’re a regular kayaker it is probably a good skill to know. Fjell said the course is designed to help paddlers gain confi dence in their kayaking skills so they can stay safe should their kayak ever tip.

Not ready for rolling just yet? That’s OK because the class ended earlier this month. Three Rivers Park District offers multiple kayaking classes throughout the rest of summer and fall, and for rolling, there is always next year.

Make your fi rst homepurchase dream a reality

REAL ESTATE SHOWCASEREAL ESTATE SHOWCASE

Buying a home is more than numbers, dollars and cents. The pride of owning your own home is an incredible feel-ing, providing a place for you and your family to come

together and build memories.

For many, getting through the process of buying a home can be daunting. Talk to anyone considering buying a home for the fi rst time, and many will say the same thing: “There’s so much information…It’s overwhelming.”

With all the potential pitfalls out there, it’s key to arm yourself with the right tools to help you navigate the intricacies of the home buying process. Getting the right information and help along the way will make this milestone purchase easier and hassle-free.

Knowledge is power While partnering with a real estate agent and knowledgeable mortgage lender will go a long way towards home buying success, empowering yourself is also important. You are not alone, but you’re also your own best advocate.

Learn about the neighborhoods where you might want to live, and think about your day-to-day lifestyle when deciding what area—and type of home—is right for you. Take a home buyer education course; they’re often free and will help prepare you for the home buying process. The U.S. Department of Housing

(www.hud.gov), NeighborWorks America (www.nw.org), and the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (www.nfcc.org) are all great resources for further education on buying a home. Or you can check with your bank.

Real estate agents Partnering with a real estate agent can help make the process of buying your fi rst home more effi cient. A real estate professional will help you assess your needs and wants in a home, and then utilize that information to narrow the fi eld of available homes in your price range to a manageable pool. Well-versed in the local area, a real estate professional can help ensure you’re getting a better price, will negotiate on your behalf, and can protect your rights as a homebuyer. Your agent also may be able to make mortgage lender recommendations.

Find a fi nancial partner,not just mortgage rates Like buying a home, choosing a mortgage provider is about more than terms and rates. It is also about fi nding a company that has the knowledge to help you succeed.

“Find a lender who is also your fi nancial partner,” says Mike Copley, executive vice president, retail lending at TD Bank. “Your mortgage advisor should work with you to fi nd the bor-rowing solution that’s right for you, and make the experience as

straightforward as possible. Your lender’s commitment to you shouldn’t end with the closing of your loan.”

Some things to consider when selecting a mortgage lender: Will I be supported from application to closing—and beyond? Are there application fees? How quickly will I have a decision on my application? What type of mortgage should I choose? Does my mortgage provider service their own loans, or can they be sold to another institution later? Does my mortgage provider have

a strong customer service focus, so I can ensure my needs are being met? The answers to these questions will help you forge the right partnership with the right mortgage lender.

There’s nothing to fear about buying your fi rst home if you’re an educated consumer who fi nds the right real estate and mortgage team to help you make your dreams come true.

ceremony commemorating his achievement. But on Wednesday (Aug. 10), the six boys gathered at Glendale United Methodist Church in Savage to be honored together.

Making Eagle Scout is rare enough. But for six boys, all the same age and from the same troop, to make Eagle Scout together at the same time? “It’s extremely rare,” said Jim Soleim, Assistant Scoutmaster for Troop 333.

Soleim said in the last 15 years he has missed only a handful of Eagle Scout ceremonies, and in all his years he has never seen anything like this. “We were excited when we had two make Eagle Scout (one year).”

But Soleim said it isn’t just the number of kids making Eagle Scout that was remarkable. It’s the kids themselves. “What’s special about this group is they did it all together, and they all helped each other along the way,” he said.

There’s a reason why making Eagle Scout is pretty rare: it’s pretty darn diffi cult. “We all put in over 100 hours to fi nish our Eagle Scout projects,” said Dunning.

And seeing as how it’s a lot of work for a teen trying to navigate through school work, a social life, sports and other obligations, it’s understandable that a lot of them give up on being an Eagle Scout. “If you asked me last year if I’d get my Eagle Scout, I’d say no way. No way,” said Christensen.

“All of us thought about quitting at some point,” said Johnson, the other fi ve nodding in agreement.

“I kind of think that’s part of your journey to Eagle, though,” added Goehring.

But they didn’t give up. Why? “Whenever someone would mention it, we would always be like ‘dude, don’t quit,’” said Dunning. “We refused to let them do it.”

“It was like a positive peer-pressure that they gave to each other,” said Rasmussen’s father, Brian.

They also gave credit to their parents (“They’re the ones who put the boot in our behind,” Rasmussen said laughing) as well as the scout leaders who guided them along. “They wouldn’t let us give up, they really cared about us,” said Dunning.

But aside from the accomplishment itself, the boys have taken away something that is perhaps even more important: the special bond of a lifelong friendship.

“Through all of this, you get to see the best and the worst of every single person here,” said Goehring, “and that experience brings you all so much closer together.”

“Not too many people get

to do what we’ve done,” added Dunning, “and we did all of it together.”

PHILMONT

The boys have experienced a lot together, but when asked about the one experience that taught them the most and brought them closest, they all said in unison, “Philmont.”

Philmont Scout Ranch is a camp in New Mexico where scouts spend two weeks camping, hiking, riding, climbing and trekking all across the rugged terrain and learn to be the ultimate outdoorsmen.

“It was an escape from everything really,” said Farnen, “you got out and were able to just be with the rest of the guys and your leader out on your own. It was awesome.”

Once the topic of Philmont was brought up, the boys talked at length about the multitude of life-changing experiences and funny memories that they took away from that trip. One such memory they all remember fondly was Christensen’s ill-fated attempt to try to fry his own donuts. He burned the outsides to a blackened crisp, even though the insides were still completely raw. “I just told everybody they were chocolate,” said Christensen.

LOOKING AHEAD

Looking ahead, the boys all seem to have bright futures staring back at them. Christensen, Dunning and Rasmussen will be heading to the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities, where Christensen plans to study political science and pre-law, and Dunning and Rasmussen will study at the College of Biological Sciences. Farnen will attend St. Cloud State to study music education. Goehring will attend Marquette University for international business and fi nance, and also plans on entering ROTC. Johnson is headed to the University of Minnesota- Morris to study history and philosophy.

And while they all will be going their separate ways in varying degrees, they do plan on always staying in touch with each other. The boys were even talking about planning a hiking trip in the boundary waters for next summer. They agreed that it will be weird not having scouting in their lives, but that they’ll fi nd ways to compensate. Rasmussen said he’ll scratch the itch with more camping, and Goehring said he’ll do it with volunteer work.

Looking back, the boys thought about the most important thing they took away from their Boy Scouts experience. “It was people we met, the connections we made,” said Christensen.

And the most important thing they learned? “Never give up,” said Rasmussen.

them over the years, but that one of its main draws was the convenience of being able to walk down the street to do their transactions. Now, those who can’t or don’t drive will have to work out ways to fi nd a ride to the new location.

Ed Reiner, the club manager at the Dan Patch American Legion, which is located across the street from the Princeton Avenue branch, said he un-derstands why the bank would “move up the hill” to its new location, but that he was “very concerned” about where the downtown area is headed.

“That’s why I tried to have a carnival here (this summer), to bring people downtown,” said Reiner.

Reiner said weather ended up dooming this year’s carni-val, but that he’s going to try to do it again next year because he still feels something needs to be done to attract more peo-ple and business to the area. Reiner also has a car show dedicated to military veterans called “Vettes for Vets.” The fourth annual event comes to

the Legion Sunday, Aug. 21.Reiner also said he just

recently changed the Legion from Anchor Bank to Asso-ciated Bank because of its convenience. “We fi nally got all switched over, then (Asso-ciated Bank) announced they were moving,” Reiner said, laughing about the situation.

Peterson is so concerned about the future of the down-town area that she said she will be meeting with the owner of the Brass Peacock, a down-town antique shop, to discuss ideas for drawing new busi-nesses to the area. Peterson said she hopes to engage more downtown business owners over time.

City Administrator Barry Stock, on the other hand, said he isn’t concerned in the least about the state of downtown. “I think downtown has been more vital now than any time since I’ve been here,” Stock said.

Stock also said what is hap-pening downtown is simply cyclical. “That’s just market dynamics,” he said, “busi-nesses come and businesses go.”

Stock added that the im-provements being made to

Quentin Avenue, which will allow the street to become a signaled intersection next year, and the redesign of the frontage road to curve be-hind the old fi re station will ultimately lead to greater access to the area, which will help stimulate business. He also said the area has a great selection of unique and fun businesses that help make it a thriving community.

The bank first started as Savage State Bank on Aug. 29, 1960, just down the street from its current Princeton Avenue location. It eventually moved to Princeton Avenue in 1963 and later became Security State Bank, then Suburban Bank, Signal Bank and fi nally Associated Bank. The Sav-age State Bank building now houses Billy’s Sports Cards.

Savage State Bank, Secu-rity State Bank and Suburban Bank were al l eventually bought by US Bank. Associ-ated Bank bought Signal Bank in the fall of 2001 and has since had a branch in that building.

The building Associated Bank is moving into, which is approximately four miles from the Princeton Avenue

location, was built four years ago for a start-up bank that didn’t pass certain govern-ment standards. Since then the building has sat empty.

Stock said he hasn’t heard whether the owner of the Princeton Avenue building has received any bids as of yet, but agreed that given the building’s design, it would make sense logistically for another bank to move in. He said that’s something several seniors living at the Hamilton said they’re hoping for.

However, Stock reiterated that he has yet to hear what the current plans are for that building. “I’m sure that build-ing will fi nd a tenant,” he said, “who and what and when, I do not know. But it is a great location.”

As for the new building, it is considerably larger, at 18,500 square feet, and obvi-ously much newer. But while Peterson said she also under-stands the move, it does noth-ing to quell her concern.

“It’s a beautiful building, but I don’t really care about the aesthetics,” she said, “I care about the convenience, and I care that it’s another business leaving downtown.”

MINNESOTA STING

Finishing with style

MINNESOTA STING PHOTOS

Pitcher Kelsey Anderson, a 2011 Burnsville graduate, recently helped her summer softball team, the Minnesota Sting, capture the 18UA USSSA national championship.

Former Blaze, Laker help lead summer team to national titleBY TOM SCHARDIN

[email protected]

Kelsey Anderson and Trena Larson competed against each other this past spring in the South Suburban Conference.

Together, they helped the Minnesota Sting Elite softball team win the United States Spe-cialty Sports Association (USS-SA) 18UA national title July 25 in Overland Park, Kan.

Anderson, a pitcher, was named the tournament’s most valuable player. The 2 011 Burnsville graduate helped the Sting win seven straight games in bracket play, after going 2-1 in pool play.

The Sting beat Olathe Rock-ets Gold from Kansas 10-4 in the title game.

The Sting outscored its op-ponents 48-6 in bracket play, including four shutouts. The six-day tournament was played in 100-degree heat.

Larson, a 2011 graduate of Prior Lake, is a top outfi elder for the Sting, just like she was for the Lakers.

The national title put a fi nal stamp on both Anderson’s and Larson’s successful high-school careers before they venture off to college softball next fall.

Anderson will play Division II at Winona State University. Her last two seasons as the Blaze’s ace pitcher were second to none.

This past spring, she was selected the 2011 Gatorade

Minnesota Softball Player of the Year. It’s the 26th year Gato-rade Company, in collaboration with ESPN Rise, has honored athletes in 12 sports across the country throughout the school year.

Anderson was also the Ms. Minnesota Softball winner and was named fi rst-team all-state by the Minnesota Fastpitch Coaches Association.

Outfi elder Trena Larson, a 2011 Prior Lake graduate, was part of the Minnesota Sting’s national championship team this summer.

TWIN CITIES YOUTH ROWING CLUB

“We cover a large geographical area. Basically, it’s Victoria to the west, Minneapolis to the north and east and Prior Lake/Savage to the south.”

Tina ChoRowing Coach

Row, row the boatMore rowers for a fast growing clubBY DANIEL HUSS

[email protected]

The Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club hosted the Twin Cities Junior Sweeps Regatta on Eden Prairie’s Bryant Lake July 31.

This begs a couple of questions. One, who and what is the Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club? Two, without shutting the lake down, how can you hold a regatta on Bryant Lake?

The answer to the fi rst question is simple, if you’re in the know. The Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club is rowing for high school students from the Minneapolis Metro area. At last count, the club included members from 20 different high schools.

“We cover a large geographical area,” said Head Coach Tina Cho. “Basically, it’s Victoria to the west, Minneapolis to the north and east and Prior Lake/Savage to the south.”

This summer, close to 90 kids participate. Year round, the number jumps to 120.

That brings us to the second question. How can you hold a rowing regatta, featuring 200 rowers, on a busy metro lake?

“We’ve been practicing on Bryant Lake for three years,” said Cho, “and developed a lot of respect.”

And?“On Sundays from

noon to 6 p.m.,” adds Cho, “Bryant is no wake.”

Although the Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club considers Bryant Lake its home, it rarely holds races at Bryant Lake.

“A home regatta is nice,” said Cho, “as it raises the awareness of rowing throughout the area. They are also a lot of fun.”

In addition, home regattas allow family and friends the opportunity to see Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club members in action.

“They (rowers’ families) don’t know what we do,” said Cho, “but they know we do it a lot.”

Lastly, Cho would add that from a race-watching standpoint, Bryant is as good as it gets.

“It’s a straight shot,” she said, “meaning you can see the start and the fi nish. At some races, all you see are the last four to fi ve strokes and that’s from a half mile away.”

The meet July 31 was one of the few high school-only events of the summer.

“Usually, we’re competing in mixed races,” said Cho,

SUBMITTED PHOTOS

The Twin Cities Junior Sweeps Regatta, hosted by the Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club, attracted some 200 high school rowers. Participating teams included the Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club, Minneapolis rowing Club, Minnesota Boat Club, Milwaukee Rowing Club and the Rockford (Illinois) YMCA Rowing Club.

Home lake advantage? The Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club practices on Bryant Lake. Its waters hosted the Twin Cities Junior Sweeps Regatta.

“but because this was a high school-only event, we were able to have fi rst boats compete against fi rst boats, seconds against seconds and thirds against thirds, which made for some really tight races.”

Aside from the host, participating teams included the Minneapolis Rowing

Club, Minnesota Boat Club, Milwaukee Rowing Club and Rockford (Illinois) YMCA Rowing Club.

Races were held in junior varsity (18 and younger with one or more years of experience) and novice (fi rst year) classes and in eight-person, four-person and two-

person boats.Without getting into

specifi cs, fi rst women’s junior varsity 8-plus for example, Cho characterized her team’s performances with a “pretty well.”

GIRLS HOCKEY

Another new beginning on the iceJohnson becomes the third Lakers’ coach in three seasonsBY TOM SCHARDIN

[email protected]

The Prior Lake girls hockey program hasn’t had much in terms of stability over the last few years.

However, the Lakers cer-tainly haven’t been void of young talent.

That’s mainly what attract-ed Todd Johnson to the job. He becomes the Lakers’ third coach in three seasons, taking over for Jaime Grossman, who stepped down after one season last year.

Grossman left to become the head coach at Eden Prairie. Johnson has been the junior varsity coach at Eden Prairie the last two years.

So it’s sort of swap.“Prior Lake’s program has

some great young players com-

ing up,” said Johnson, who was also an assistant at Benilde-St. Margaret’s before moving to Eden Prairie. “This team got its feet last year (in its first season in the South Suburban Conference), so they know what to expect now. I’m excited to get started.”

Johnson brings with him assistant coach and friend Charles Morin, whose daughter Sidney Morin, a junior, helped Minnetonka win the Class AA state title last year.

M e a nwh i le , Joh n s o n’s daughter, Mackenzie, a junior, is the starting goalie for Eden Prairie. Johnson will take on his daughter’s team Dec. 15 in Eden Prairie.

Johnson said he’s looking forward to that. Better yet, he’s

looking forward to picking up where Grossman left off in the second half of last season.

The Lakers started 2010 los-ing their fi rst nine games. But Prior Lake adjusted to the stiff-er competition in the SSC and fi nished strong, including a 6-0 win in the Section 2AA quar-terfi nals over rival Shakopee. It was the program’s second-ever playoff win since joining the top class eight years ago.

The Lakers ended up 9-18 overall, 6-12 in the conference. Prior Lake lost to Edina, the eventual state runner-up, in the section semifi nals.

“Jaime did a great job of in-stituting a strong work ethic (in his one season),” said Johnson. “I think it took the team some time to get used to what he

started. He gave us a good jump-ing off point. In this confer-ence, you need to learn to play as a team to be successful.”

Johnson said he’s familiar with the talent in the SSC, coach-ing a lot of summer-league pro-grams. He believes that’s part of the reason he got the job.

“Not only I’m a familiar with our roster, but the whole SSC,” said Johnson, who was a Divi-sion III goalie in his playing days at Hamline University in the mid-1980s. “I know these teams inside and out.”

Johnson knows the Lakers lost one of the top scorers in their history in Alex Citrowske last year. The talented forward will play Division I at Bemidji State University this coming winter.

Citrowske had 71 career goals and 37 assists in her fi ve seasons on the varsity, includ-ing 26 goals and seven assists last year.

“Somebody was feeding Alex the puck last year,” said John-son. “She’ll be missed, but we have some talent coming up for sure. They’ll have to step up. We’re going to have to score as a team.

“We’ll have some nice senior leadership back,” added John-son. “The junior class is thin, but the sophomore and fresh-man group is very strong.”

Grossman tried to turn the Lakers into more of a puck control team in his one season, discarding the dump-and-chase approach. Johnson will stick to that philosophy.

“We want to control the puck,” said Johnson. “We’re going to try to be very team orientated. We’re going to play discipline hockey in our own end and try to create on the other end.”

Senior Michelle Jeurissen was second on the Lakers in points last season with 22 (10 goals and 12 assists), while ninth-grader defenseman Lind-sey Harris continued to show a lot of promise in her second varsity season. She finished with 11 assists.

Ninth-grader Keeley Toten-hagen had two goals and four assists, while sophomore Am-ber Galles fi nished with four goals and two assists.

Senior Claire Clark will re-turn on defense for her fourth varsity season next year, while senior forwards Katie Lee and Paige Walstad will also be back for their fourth years.

Anderson fi nished her senior year with a 19-3 record with a .067 earned-run average. She had 212 strikeouts in 168 1/3 in-nings of work and 12 shutouts. She also hit a team-best .400 with 18 RBIs, fi nishing with a .576 slugging percentage and a .457 on-base percentage.

The Blaze lost in the Section 3AAA title to Bloomington Jef-ferson, losing the fi rst game in 15 innings 2-1 and the winner-take-all game 2-1 in eight in-nings.

Anderson pitched all 23 in-nings in the fi nal two games, striking out 25.

In her junior year, Anderson led the Blaze to the Class AAA state title. She fi nished with a 24-3 mark and a 0.39 earned-run average with 303 strikeouts in 181 innings. She threw back-to-back no-hitters in the state quarterfi nals and semifi nals.

Meanwhile, Larson helped the Lakers reach the state tour-nament her junior year. She hit .287, scored a team-best 23 runs

and stole 18 bases in helping Prior Lake fi nish sixth at state with a 22-7 record.

This past spring, Larson helped a young Lakers’ team to a 14-11 record, hitting .321 with 17 runs scored and 10 stolen bases.

Larson will play college ball next year at Kirkwood Commu-nity College in Iowa.

Both Anderson and Larson also competed in the Minnesota vs. Wisconsin Softball Chal-lenge in July, which was held in Stevens Point, Wis. They helped their Minnesota squad, which was made up of some of the top seniors from around the state, to a pair of shutout wins, 6-0 and 2-0.

Laker Athletic Booster Club meetingsThe Laker Athletic Booster Club will have its monthly meeting

on the third Monday of every month (except July and December) in the lecture hall next to the auditorium at Prior Lake High School, 7575 W. 150th St., Savage, starting at 7 p.m.

Boots & Boas 5K Run/Walk is scheduledYou can run or walk a scenic, 3.1-mile course and help fi ght

domestic abuse at the same time by participating in the inaugural Boots & Boas 5K Run/Walk on Sept. 10 at 9 a.m. at Purgatory Creek Park in Eden Prairie.

The event is sponsored by Savvy.mn magazine, the Eden Prairie News, St. Francis Regional Medical Center and a number of other local businesses.

A pre-race 50-yard “dash” in boots and boas will be held as a photo opportunity and to make people more aware of the good work of two organizations working to end domestic violence: Cornerstone, which serves southwestern Hennepin County, and the Southern Valley Alliance for Battered Women, which serves Scott and Carver counties.

“The name of the event and the fact that a share of proceeds will go to Cornerstone and Southern Valley Alliance make it sound as if Boots & Boas is just a women’s event,” said Mark Weber, publisher of the Eden Prairie News newspaper. “It’s not. This is a fun event that men and children will love too, and a way for them to show support for two organizations that are doing great work.”

Early-bird registration (before Aug. 20) costs $25 per person. After that the fee goes to $30; race-day registration is $35. You can register online at active.com (type in Boots & Boas), which charges a small administrative fee. Or, download an entry form at www.savvy.mn or www.edenprairienews.com.

More information about the race is available on Facebook. You can also call (952) 445-3333 or send an e-mail to Mark Weber at [email protected].

letic Complex in Prior Lake. The event is a fundraiser for Prior Lake Athletics for Youth (P.L.A.Y.) to enhance its programs and facilities.

OURSCHOOLSDISTRICT 191 SCHOOL BOARD NEWS

Black hired as GideonPond principal

The Burnsville-Eagan-Sav-age School Board welcomed Kristine Black as the new principal of Gideon Pond El-ementary during the Thurs-day, Aug. 4 board meeting. The opening was created when former principal Laura Pierce stepped down this summer to accept a position in a school district closer to her home in Farmington.

Black spent nine years teaching in Florida before spending eight years in the Woodbury school district teaching at Valley Crossing Community School. For the past six years Black has served

as the principal of Harambee Elementary School in Maple-wood, which is part of the East Metro Integration District.

“I am thrilled to become part of the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage District and I am thrilled to begin serving at Gideon Pond Elementary,” Black said at the meeting. “I’m ready to jump right in and start working with staff, students and families in continuing the excellence of education that is in this district and at that school.”

Teiken appointed as board treasurer

The School Board voted u n a n i mou sly to app oi nt board member Paula Teiken as the new board treasurer on Thursday, Aug. 4. Gail Mor-

rison, who previously served as treasurer, resigned this summer after moving out of the school district.

Teiken will serve as trea-surer until the board’s next reorganization meeting in January 2012.

Sweep appointed to Policy Review Committee

Another vacancy created by Gail Morrison’s resigna-tion was fi lled Thursday night (Aug. 4), this time for her spot on the Board Policy Review Committee. The board voted unanimously to appoint Vice-Chair Sandy Sweep to the committee.Compiled by Alex Hall

DISTRICT 191 NEWS BRIEFS

CLARIFICATIONA story in the Aug. 6 Sav-

age Pacer, “Local angels help ‘Ella’s Halo,’” omitted the name of Diane Sales, an as-sistant for Kids’ Company’s

fi fth-grade section.From time to time, incorrect

information is reported in the Savage Pacer. When informa-tion is found to be omitted,

wrong or misleading, a cor-rection or clarifi cation will be published. Call (952) 345-6378 and talk to the editor for further information.

Dual-language preschool open house will be held Aug. 16

District 191 will offer a new preschool op-tion this fall – a dual language classroom that teaches English and Spanish.

According to a District 191 news release, “The dual-language preschool class will be like nearly any other preschool program of-fered by the District – kindergarten readiness, social-emotional development activities, and more – except that instruction, labels through-out the room, and everything else will be pre-sented in both English and Spanish.”

According to Rebecca Richardson, who will be the lead teacher in the class this fall, the initial plan involves Spanish immersion, meaning a Spanish-only classroom designed just for teaching English-speaking children. However, the need to connect more with Span-ish-speaking families and the opportunity to provide a learning experience that benefi tted more than one group provided the impetus for changing to dual-language.

“Of course, it will be great for English-speaking children to have an opportunity to learn Spanish,” said Richardson. “For the Spanish-speaking students, there’s this pretty large contingent of students who come to kindergarten without any contact with the schools before. We wanted to start a relation-ship with those families, get them acquainted with the school environment before kinder-garten starts.’

The class will be a full-day program, meet-ing from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Diamondhead Education Center, 200 W. Burnsville Park-way, Burnsville. Before- and after-class care options will be provided at no extra costs to participating families.

Already-registered families and those in-terested in learning more can attend an open house on Aug. 16 from 4-6:30 p.m. in classroom 110 at Diamondhead. To register or for more information, call District 191 Community Education at (952) 707-4150.”

Burnsville Alternative High School sign-up Aug. 25

New Student Intakes for the 2011-12 school year will be held on Thursday, Aug. 25 from 1-5 p.m. for the Burnsville Alternative High School, 2140 Diffl ey Road, Eagan.

Students who currently attend Burnsville High School should contact the BHS Guidance Department for a referral to attend the Alterna-tive High School.

Students from outside District 191, who are interested in attending the Alternative High School, should register at the district “Welcome Center” located at the Diamondhead Education Center, 200 W. Burnsville Parkway, Suite 101, Burnsville. The number of the Education Center is (952) 707-4180.
