Shakopee: It’s a great place to call home

W

elcome to Shakopee, a community that mixes business and pleasure. From 19th century local history re-enactments at The Landing to outrageous re-creations of the 16th century at the Renaissance Festival and the amusements at Valleyfair, Shakopee is an entertainment mecca for people of all ages and interests.

Whatever your hobby or recreational interest, Shakopee offers something fun for everyone. The Community Center has an ice arena, walking/running track and a teen center. Shakopee is also home to the Stans Historical Center in which the Maurice Stans collection and the county’s historical society collection are housed. It also has a large public library conveniently located in the downtown area.

8 Shakopee Resident’s Guide — August 2013

With easy freeway access, residential development has surged ahead especially in the Southbridge area south of Hwy. 169. Today, it is estimated that more than 37,000 people call Shakopee home — making it one of the fastest-growing cities in the Twin Cities metro area.

The community offers both private and public schools, which work together to provide a good foundation for children. The city also has an extensive park system and the adjacent Minnesota Valley Wildlife Trail is a nature-lover’s treasure.

Get to know all of Shakopee. It’s a great place to call home.

What is a Credit Union?

As a Credit Union member, you are not a customer, but a member/owner of a financial cooperative in which all the members pool their resources in order to provide reasonable loan rates and a fair return on savings. Credit Unions are dedicated to the principle of “People Helping People” and have a not-for profit tax status similar to churches, charities and other groups that work to better the lives of those involved.

Scott County As Scott County continues to lead the state in population growth, progress is evident throughout the community. Over the last several years, Scott County has managed to keep its budget in check while still investing in its residents’ future: from the acquisition of new parks and green spaces to developing highly successful transit partnerships (the BlueXpress commuter line and the SmartLink transit cooperative), from the construction of two new mixed-use library facilities to installing a high-tech fiber optic ring, Scott County is truly committed to its new vision: “Where individuals, families, and businesses thrive.”

Residents are encouraged to keep current on County news through viewing Board meetings (available online in “real time” and on-demand), visiting the website (www.co.scott.mn.us), tuning in to local government access cable for meeting coverage and other programming, following the county on Facebook and reading the award-winning resident newsletter (The Scott County SCENE). In addition, you can become more directly involved by volunteering with various community groups, serving on a citizen advisory committee, or by attending County board meetings and workshops, which are held on most Tuesdays at 9:00 a.m. (please visit the website for up-to-date schedule information).

KNOW & OBEY SCHOOL BUS LAWS If you fail to stop for a school bus with RED LIGHTS FLASHING & STOP ARM EXTENDED it is chargeable as a gross misdemeanor punishable by a $3,000.00 fine and/or one year in jail.

CAUTION: The majority of children killed in pupil transportation are not killed on the bus, but OUTSIDE the bus. Many are struck by motorists who fail to stop for the flashing red lights and extended stop arm.

This area around the stopped school bus is often referred to as the "DANGER ZONE." PRE-WARNING SIGNALS

RED LIGHTS & STOP ARM

A school bus driver activates the PRE-WARNING amber signals at least *100 feet before stopping.

When the amber lights flash, you should immediately prepare to stop your vehicle.

You MUST STOP for a school bus when the red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended; this means that children are getting on or off the bus. Stop at least 20 feet from the bus and remain stopped until lights are turned off.

* If the speed limit is more than 35MPH the driver must give 300 ft. of warning.

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Scott County Environmental Health Dept. .......................................................................952-496-8475 24-hour Information Line ................................................................952-496-8787 HHW Information ............................................................952-496-8652 Web site ................................................................www.co.scott.mn.us/hhw Almost every home contains some household hazardous waste (HHW), hazardous products or chemicals that can harm human health or the environment if handled improperly. These are products normally used in cleaning, home improvement projects, automobile maintenance, lawn and garden care, hobbies, and a variety of other tasks. They might include paint, varnish, pesticides, household cleaning chemicals, solvents, fuels, wood stain or preservatives, rechargeable batteries, aerosol cans, fluorescent lamps (including tubes and CFLs), mercury thermostats or thermometers, automotive chemicals or batteries, appliances, electronics, tires, as well as any other household products that are flammable, corrosive, reactive or poisonous. Each year, thousands of Americans are injured or poisoned through incidents involving hazardous household products. Minimizing the amount of hazardous chemicals stored in your home is always a good idea for the sake of your family’s safety.

The Scott County HHW Facility will accept a variety of hazardous materials from Scott County residents. Many of these items are accepted at no charge — visit www.co.scott.mn.us/HHW for details. Please bring a check or cash for those chargeable items, since credit cards are not currently accepted. The facility is located at 588 Country Trail East (Highway 282) in Spring Lake Township, one-half mile west of the intersection of Highways 13 and 282, and County Road 17. The HHW Facility is open at the following times: Wednesday: noon to 6 p.m.

Thursday: noon to 4 p.m.

Saturday: 8 a.m. to noon

(Note: The RE-USE Room closes 15 minutes earlier) The HHW Facility will be CLOSED for major holiday weekends, including Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving, as well as the period between Christmas and New Year’s.

The RE-USE Room is fi lled with a variety of good usable products, including paint, stain, varnish, thinner, putty, adhesives, household chemicals, yard and garden chemicals, automotive chemicals, electronics, etc., and all of these items are available for FREE (to anyone over the age of 18)! A trip to the RE-USE Room as you plan your next home improvement or craft project could certainly save you some money!

Reduce the amount of HHW your family produces by practicing “Smart Shopping.” Measure carefully, buy only what you need, and then use what you buy. Store any leftovers carefully, and protect from freezing, so that they will remain usable.

Please note: The HHW Facility can not accept automotive chemicals in containers larger than 2½ gallons in size (fluids such as gas, oil, or antifreeze). Other unacceptable items include: household garbage, unknown materials, business waste (call for an appointment), radioactive items or sharps (needles). Regular alkaline batteries can be thrown in your household trash.

Dangerfield’s A Shakopee Icon Enjoy Fine Dining, Sunday Brunch or a relaxing Lunch with Friends Dangerfield’s Restaurant has built a solid reputation over the past 22 years as a favorite food destination. And just how has the eatery built this reputation?

Dangerfield’s has become well known for: • Fine dining that doesn’t break the bank; • A killer brunch that’s known statewide; • Being the go-to place for anniversaries, birthdays and other special occasions; and • A popular, festive happy hour.

At the helm these past 22 years is Dangerfield’s owner, Gus Khwice. A food and hospitality veteran, Khwice came to Minnesota from Lebanon years ago to go to school for bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Mankato State University (now Minnesota State-Mankato). He worked at restaurants and hotels in Washington, D.C., then later owned establishments in Maine and Minnesota before finally opening Dangerfield’s in 1991.

His expertise was recognized a few years ago when he was named one of the Top 10 restaurateurs in the Twin Cities by Foodservice News, or, as the publication called the list, “The Best Heads in the Business.”

Fine Dining/Family Dining/ Great Setting Through the years, Dangerfield’s has cultivated its reputation for being an exceptional—and affordable— place to

go for dinner. Dangerfield’s offers an ongoing beef selection and variety of fresh fish dishes that are especially known in the region, Khwice says. Case in point: a recent special that’s creating a lot of local buzz is an 8-ounce, center cut Angus sirloin steak for just $12.99.

Diners also love the scenic, natural setting of the restaurant, which is nestled on the banks of the Minnesota River, and which affords beautiful views of the water and woods and the local bird population, including bald eagles and herons. In 1993, the eatery opened an inviting outdoor, screened-in, full-service dining and beverage service area that brings this scenic setting up close.

A Killer Brunch Twin Citians love good a brunch, and Dangerfield’s Sunday brunch delivers. It is known statewide. Plus, the restaurant’s specialty brunches, for holidays such as Mother’s Day and Easter, are extremely

HOURS:

Open 364 Days a Year (closed Christmas Day) Monday-Thursday: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Friday and Saturday: 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Sunday Brunch: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Sunday Dining: 2 p.m. to 10 p.m.

(Note: Holiday Buffet Brunch hours may vary)

popular. “We’ll serve 2,000 people from 10 to 5,” says Khwice, “and guests always say when they leave, ‘that was the best.’”

Special Days Spend any time at Dangerfield’s, and you’ll frequently hear groups of diners extending “happy birthday” or “happy anniversary” wishes over raised glasses.

As Khwice explains, Dangerfield’s has emerged as a destination point for celebrating these types of special occasions.

Happy Hour Have you ever met co-workers and friends for happy hour but the bar didn’t seem all that “happy?” Well, that’s not the case at Dangerfield’s. Affordable drink prices, tasty snacks and appetizers and a comfortably large bar area where groups can spread out, combine to make Dangerfield’s the perfect spot for after-work relaxation. And indeed, the restaurant’s happy hour has proven to be quite popular.

Comedy Club, Too Beyond the main restaurant, don’t forget Dangerfield’s Comedy Club the Rib Tickler, which offers stand-up comedian shows along with great dinner entrees.

We have put together a money-saving Dinner and a Show Package just for you!
