Eden Prairieman facingfraudchargesfound inCanadaFaces multiple Canadiancharges for handgun,forgery, drugsBY PAUL GROESSEL – SUN NEWSPAPERS

Things got complicated when the“shy, small, soft-spoken man,” as hisattorney described, decided to fake sui-cide and fly a plane to Canada before afederal judge could sentence him fordefrauding a company out of nearly$11.5 million.

“That just makes a million ques-tions,” his attorney Marsh Halberg saidafter he discovered his client, TravisMagdalena Scott, 34, was found inWinnipeg.

The Eden Prairie man, who pleadedguilty to a multi-million dollar insur-ance fraud in May and months laterpenned a suicide note left off Lake MilleLacs, was found in December inWinnipeg with a gun, thousands of dol-lars in cash and attempting to get drugswith a forged prescription, according toWinnipeg police.

Minnesota dignatariesgather to honor humble 96-year-old EP manBY PAUL GROESSEL – SUN NEWSPAPERS

A 96-year-old Eden Prairie resident wasawarded with a French honor, pinned onby Gov. Mark Dayton on Thursday, Jan. 12.

Lt. Col. Kenneth Guetzke was presentedwith the “Chevalier” (similar toKnighthood) from the French Legion ofHonor, the country’s highest militaryhonor.

Dayton, Rep. Jenifer Loon, R-42B, HouseSpeaker Kurt Zellers and staff from U.S.Senators and Congressman Erik Paulsenmade it for a ceremony in a packed com-munity room at The Colony of EdenPrairie, where Guetzke lives.

He received the Chevalier for his effortsin World War II, including protecting his-torical French landmarks, such as theEiffel Tower, The Notre Dame Cathedral,The Louvre, Arc de Triumphe and manyfamous bridges, from Nazi bombardment.

He also fought through Omaha Beach,was in two major battles and helped freeNazi concentration camps before return-

ing home to his wife and beginning a fami-ly dental practice.

“It’s extraordinary you made it through

all that and served our country with suchheroism and great distinction,” Daytonsaid before pinning the Chevalier to

Guetzke’s suit coat. “And we’re in yourdebt. … It’s not surprising to me that thecountry of France wants to recognize youand the special tribute for your service totheir country and the cause of their free-dom as well as ours.” Dayton said beforepinning the Chevalier to Guetzke.

Dayton also presented Guetzke a certifi-cate from the state of Minnesota for hisservice.

Guetzke’s son, Tom Guetzke, was also atthe ceremony. He offered the following his-tory of his father.

Guetzke, born in Hopkins, was in themiddle of dental school at the University ofMinnesota when he was called to serve inWorld War II.

Since he had completed a ReserveOfficers’ Training Corps program in the1930s, he was commissioned as a FirstLieutenant in the U.S. Army. He served inthe 459th Anti-aircraft Division that foughtthrough Omaha Beach during theDecember 1944 Allied invasion, where hewas hit with shell shrapnel in the right leg.

Guetzke and his division also foughtthrough a battle at St. Lo in Normandy,with ferocity that has been compared to

CURRENTThe simple and profound joys ofcamping in your living roomYou can be yourself,but eventually it hasto end, and that’s agood thing

It is winter, and it is finallyacting like it. Unfortunatelythis means many traditionaloutdoor activities are out ofthe question. Chess in the park,rafting, sunbathing: these willnot happen. Neither will camp-ing, one of the classics.

But no worry, there is aviable alternative to that tradi-tional sojourn in which wereach for our core to find outwhat we really are, what makesus animals.

Have you ever tried campingout in your own living room?No, you don’t set up a gratu-itous tent; this is simpler thanthat. This journey requires nosuch extravagant redundan-cies. Journeys of the soulnever do. What you do is you

get some blankets, a pillow, aremote control and you hike tothe couch and set up shop for acouple of days, or a week ortwo. And see what happens.

The absence of my room-mate this week has afforded methis experience. And let me tellyou, you gotta try it. Campingin your living room is muchlike traditional camping inthat you really are trying to dothe same things you do in regu-lar life while trying to get backto your true essence. You watchTV, you drink beverages, youcook brats, you surf theInternet. You just do it all withmore freedom.

And like venturing into thewilderness in spiritual pur-suit, to get the most out of it, to

truly find yourself, you need tobe by yourself, which reallyopens up your options. Forinstance — and this is one ofthe differences between out-door and indoor camping —you don’t have to worry aboutlittering.

You can literally surroundyourself in garbage — notgross garbage, just empty bot-tles of your favorite refresh-ments and maybe some emptyice cream cartons. OK, andmaybe some chicken bones andsmoked salmon skin. But thisis good for you because yourealize: I incorporated this allinto my body. Again, you arefinding out who you really arehere. Finding yourself.

And where do you find your-self ? On the edge, which at thispoint — after your personal lit-ter has built up and the disheshave collected (you never dodishes if you want to get themost out of the trip) and thewhole first season of“American Horror Story” has

been watched — is where youare, and you realize: Nothing isholding you back.

There. Is. No. Rope. Just then — and maybe it’s

for the best — you get a text.Your roommate just hit theroad, which means he is on hisway back, which means so areyou. You do the dishes, brushyour teeth, flip the couch cush-ions.

That other reality startspulsing again and when ready,you venture there, where thereare stores and where you canreplace the frozen pizzas thatdid not belong to you but thatyou ate anyway.

Hey, judge all you want, butit’s winter and I don’t have anyvacation time and I can’t afforda trip to Hawaii or evenFlorida. And there’s a moral tothis story, anyway: Althoughbeing by yourself and freefrom judgment is fun for awhile, eventually you will gocrazy and your place willsmell.

The highest Blood AlcoholConcentration was .39. The highest inBloomington was .33 and Eden Prairiearrested someone with a .32 BAC, accord-ing to the Department of Public Safety.

They were among 20 agencies thatreported BAC levels above 0.30, and morethan 100 agencies reported their highestalcohol-concentration was at or above 0.20,according to the state department. Thelegal limit is 0.08.

Even though there has been a decline inalcohol related deaths, injuries and DWIarrests in Minnesota over the years, “Whenyou have 2,600 people arrested for DWIs, itshows the scope of the problem is stillthere,” said Office of Public Safetyspokesman Nathan Bowie.

While there has been some progress interms of reducing these numbers, eachyear one-third of the state’s traffic deathsare alcohol related, Bowie said, and one-sev-enth of Minnesota drivers has a DWI ontheir record.

“It again demonstrates the issue herethat we’re facing,” Bowie said.

Preventing accidents, deaths and DWI isabout planning before celebrating, Bowiesaid.

In fact, DWI rates have actuallydecreased on New Year’s Eve, which is oneof the largest party nights of the year.

It’s a sign people are planning ahead andtaking responsibility, Bowie said. So, thestate and police urge people to take thatsame expectation and planning from NewYear’s Eve and applying it to the rest of theyear – designate a sober driver, expect to geta cab or make other accommodations to besafe.

“Take that same sort of attitude towardevery time you go out and celebrate,” Bowiesaid.

Outside of safety concerns, there areother troubles for those who get a DWI.

In Minnesota, all repeat DWI offendersand motorists arrested for a first-time DWIwith a BAC of 0.16 and above must use igni-tion interlock for at least a year, or theycould have at least one year without drivingprivileges, according to the state depart-ment.

Interlock requires a driver to provide abreath sample under 0.02 for their vehicle tostart.

There are also legal fees, driver’s licensereinstatement costs, potential jail time,potential job loss, spiked insurance premi-ums, required DWI classes and other conse-quences.

Fines could reach $10,000 to $20,000,Bowie said.

“The fines kind of add up,” he said.

FREE Vein Screening offered to evaluate “Spider Veins”

Many people live their lives sufferingfrom low thyroid symptoms. This is espe-cially true for females. Thyroid hormonescontrol all your metabolism, and whenthyroid hormones are low they cause allthe cells in your body and mind to slowdown. These symptoms include fatigue,weight gain, mood swings, sweet crav-ings, depression, sluggish thinking, thin-ning hair or hair loss, and cold hands andfeet. For some people digestive problemslike constipation and acid indigestion maysignal low thyroid.

Even when taking thyroid medication,many people continue to suffer from thesymptoms of having low thyroid. Somepeople are even told their lab tests are nor-mal but still continue to endure the symp-toms of low thyroid. However, there can bea solution for symptoms from low thyroid!

Dr. Phil Gilman DC FMA FASBE, a pub-lished thyroid researcher and chiropractor,is holding a seminar to discuss low thyroidsymptoms. His research shows that whileblood tests are valuable in evaluating thy-roid dysfunction, often the basic tests areinadequate in finding the underlying caus-es of low thyroid. For example Dr. Gilman’spublished research showed that liver func-

tion affects low thyroid. This research alsoshowed that low thyroid persons have aobservable posture and testable muscleweakness.

There are six patterns of thyroid dys-function and only one of them respondswell to thyroid medication. That is why somany have been disappointed in theirresults.

During the seminar Dr. Gilman willreveal the number one cause of low thy-roid in the United States, why manywomen taking replacement hormoneswon’t get better, six patterns to thyroidproblems, and why doctor’s don’t runcomplete thyroid tests. He will also dis-cuss the one food that is often involved inlow thyroid and how to test for it. In addi-tion to exposing these truths about thy-roid treatment, Dr. Gilman will also dis-cuss natural solutions to help thyroidproblems. Due to the high demand andsensitivity of this information, seating forDr. Gilman’s private thyroid seminar islimited. It will be held on Thursday,January 26th at 7:00 PM at the HamptonInn, 7740 Flying Cloud Drive, EdenPrairie. Please call 651-681-8199 toreserve a seat today!

EP School Board selects Jacobus as chairThe new board isup for 2012 tasks,she saysBY PAUL GROESSELSUN NEWSPAPERS

The Eden Prairie SchoolBoard selected its officersduring its first meeting ofthe year, Jan. 10.

School BoardmemberRanee Jacobus was the onlynominee for the seat. Aftershe was named chair,Jacobus shared a short mes-sage with the community.

“I think the message thatwe all want as a boardtogether to send to this com-munity is that we’re unitedgoing forward through thisnext fiscal year and ongoingafter that,” she said.

The school board willhave the focus, leadership,transparency and communi-cation stakeholders should

expect from all board mem-bers, she said.

“We have a very aggres-sive agenda in 2012, shesaid. “We’re up to the task.We’re going to bring youalong as a community withus as we address, you know,the hiring of the new super-intendent, analyzing ourfinancial and funding needsfor the future of this districtas well as redefining, orrefining and continuing tolook at our long-term facili-ties plan.”

She thanked all the par-ents in the district for theirsupport. The school board islooking to reposition itselfthis year to open conversa-tions with parents who havechosen to leave district andprovide an opportunity towelcome them back, shesaid.

After the board chairselection came the otherofficers. BoardmemberJohn Estall was elected vice

chair; Boardmember HollyParker was elected clerk;and Boardmember ChuckMueller was elected treasur-er. All terms will last oneyear. All three held thosepositions last year as well.

New board membersKarla Bratrud and DaveEspe were also sworn intotheir four-year school boardseats before the first meet-ing.

Another order of busi-ness, along with severalother year-opening duties,was determining schoolboard pay. Last year, theschool board decreased itspay 5 percent, to $422.75 permonth for each board mem-ber, with an additional $130per month for the schoolboard chair.

This year, the schoolboard briefly discusseddecreasing it again thisyear, recognizing the wagefreeze from staff and teach-ers during tough economic

and budget times.Interim Supt. Jon

McBroom cautioned thatthey should make sureschool board member wagesare comparable to sur-rounding districts and theydo not go too low, therebydetracting future residentsfrom running for schoolboard.

“I just caution you thatyou don’t want to stay stag-nant a whole long time,”McBroom said.

Estall said after review-ing a list of school boardmember wages in the TwinCities metro area, EdenPrairie’s was above average,so he was comfortable withlowering the wage.

The school board endedup agreeing to lower theirwage, after Mueller suggest-ed they make it an evennumber – $400 a month forboard members plus anoth-er $150 per month for thechair.

Sometimes you want to go where everybody knowsyou name; where injury heals and aging halts;where friends gather and life reinvents itself.

If you think a place like this only exists in the imagi-nation, just ask Lynn Thoresen of Edina or John Sewardof Burnsville. Both Boomers have found a sort ofShangri-La within the walls of Welcyon, a 50-plus fitnesscenter with locations in Edina and Bloomington.

“I was always like, ‘I’ll take the stairs tomorrow,’” saidThoresen, 67, who joined Welcyon after going in and out ofphysical therapy for knee and hip replacements. In the past,whenever Thoresen saw improvement with physical thera-py, she’d stop exercising. “Then the pain would return,” shesaid. Finally, Thoresen decided to take control. “You can’tgo through life in physical therapy,” she said.

A neighbor told her about Welcyon. “She said her hus-band, like me, had tried other facilities and never wanted

to go,” she said. “So I decided to go to Welcyon andobserve. I stood there with my arms crossed like ‘you’renot going to sell me anything.’” One visit turned into two.“It was so comfortable, clean and welcoming, and theyalways recognize you by name.” Thoresen decided it metall the requirements she was looking for, so she joined.“Now I look upon it as daily routine.”

For Thoresen, it’s a routine that has paid off. She says

she no longer has any hip and knee problems, she has lostweight without dieting, and she sleeps better. NowWelcyon is more than a place to exercise. “Sometimes Istop by and say ‘I’m just here to watch the news tonight,’”she said.

John Seward, 64, of Burnsville had a similar experi-ence. In January 2010 Seward underwent open-heart sur-gery, which was directly related to his diabetes. Eightmonths later his daughter gave him a kidney. In betweenthe two operations, Welcyon opened for business.

“The facility kind of chose me,” said Seward. “I wasn’tlooking to wear a pair of tights and run around LAFitness. I wanted to get strong for the next operation.”

Seward was instantly impressed that Welcyon usedmuch of the same equipment he used during rehabilita-tion at Fairview Hospital after his open-heart surgery.Now, Seward works out three days a week. “I owe thewhole rehabilitation, or at least a lot of it, to Welcyon.They made it so easy for me. I’m as strong as I’ve been in30 years.”

Suzy Boerboom, who opened Welcyon with her hus-band Tom Boerboom, spent her career as a nurse witness-ing the effects of inactivity and aging. “If you don’t dostrength training, you lose muscle mass. Leg strength iscritical to staying independent. Once someone can’t getout of a chair and walk, the whole issue of independencecomes into play. This was the answer. Seventy-five percentof health care costs have to do with lifestyle choice.”

Boerboom also understood that a traditional fitnessclub was not the answer. “We both knew there was such ahuge need for a very special place for those of us 50 andolder. We kept ruminating about the vision and idea,”said Boerboom. “We knew most of us get to a certain ageand want an environment that’s not intimidating. Youdon’t want to be next to a young person in spandex.”

Welcyon opened its first location in 2010 at 4420 ValleyView Road in Edina, followed by a second facility at 10615France Ave. S. in Bloomington.

Even with her medical background, and observing herhusband’s career in long term and assisted living,Boerboom says the results she witnesses at Welcyon con-tinue to surprise her. “I knew intellectually how musclefiber responds. But what surprises me is how quickly itcan happen. It’s never too late to become much stronger.It’s never too late to change your life.”

Welcyon members range in age from 50to 92, all coming through the doors forboth similar and unique reasons. “Onemember wants to be able to get in and outof her canoe easier. Another wants to ridetheir bike a little further. Another cantake a tub bath again,” Boerboom said.

Chances are, whatever the reason, thefitness coaches at Welcyon are aware of it.They get to know each member personal-ly, develop a custom program to help themachieve their goals, and support themeach step of the way.

“It’s like Cheers here,” said Boerboom.“We know their names. We know theirfamilies. We form a relationship.”

A Sun Newspapers specialreport looking at the trials andjoys of Marine Corps recruittrainingBY DANIEL CALLAHAN AND CHRIS DILLMANNSUN NEWSPAPERS

They pile off the idling buses withstrange faces. Some look anxious, otherssport expressions of confusion. Still otherslook vacant and scared.

A grueling 13 weeks later, dedicationand pride fill that void.

Signing upFor many, the decision to join the mili-

tary is one made after careful considera-tion and discussion with family. For othersthis is less true. Across the board the deci-sion to join the Marines is one of pride anda sense of direction.

Cpl. Song Prak, an administrative clerkfrom Minneapolis stationed at MarineCorps Air Station Miramar near SanDiego, Calif., said the decision, thoughunwelcome to his family, particularly hismother, was personal.

“Ultimately, it wasn’t her choice,” hesaid. Having spent year out of school with-out much of a plan, “It was my decision tomake.

“I love this country and I’m proud toserve it,” he said.

“It may sound silly, but I like the idea ofbeing able to stand between people and thethings that might hurt them,” said recruitLuke Marshall of St. Paul.

Apple Valley’s Steven Mann said heviewed the Marines as the heroes of thenation and wanted to be counted amongthem.

“I wanted to serve,” said AndersAhlberg, a Marine from Lakeville nearingthe end of his training. His family and girl-friend were less than enthusiastic abouthis decision, but they’ve changed course,he said. Through letters, they’re tellinghim they’re proud of him.

“I had no direction,” said MarcellousDixon, a Plymouth native and ArmstrongHigh School graduate, who said he saw aMarine one day. “I knew I wanted that.”

Dixon plans to make a career out of histime in the Marines.

“This is how I want my life. ... This iswhere my life began.”

Things begin to change: ‘What am I doing here?’When recruits arrive in San Diego,

most head to the USO at the airport to waitfor a bus to the Marine Corps RecruitDepot. The comfy couches, Netflix andfully stocked kitchen will soon be gonefrom the picture for the next three months.

“It comes for a big culture shock,” saidMark Ayalin, a retired Marine and Corpsrepresentative.

“You’ve got people who have never evenbeen away from home,” said Gy. Sgt. RonnaWeyland of the 9th Marine Corps District.“You have people from all walks of life. ...Some who grew up hard and some whogrew up easy.”

After waiting for the bus, a wait that can

last hours or minutes depending on thearrival time of the recruits, they meet adrill instructor for the first time.

“You talk about trauma,” said Weylandlaughing. “They’re not evil, but they’reevil.”

Then comes the first check in, the firstmistakes and missteps and they’re hustledonto a bus to head to the depot. That’swhere things intensify.

“They’re supposed to be miserable,” Gy.Sgt. Adam Blake, a drill instructor atMCRD, said. “What I expect is they’re hav-ing a hard time ... and that’s how I like it.”

Between four and six drill instructorsmeet the recruits as they arrive at thedepot, all of them are almost instantlyhoarse. Quickly the recruits learn to standat attention on the famed YellowFootprints, learn the basics of the U.S. codeof military justice, have many of their per-sonal belongings taken from them andallowed to make a single screaming callhome to alert their families they’ve arrivedsafely. It will be weeks before anyone hears

from them again. And that will be by letter.Controlled chaos envelopes the starry-

eyed recruits. Their hair, their clothes,even their language has been changed. Adoor is a hatchway, the floor is the deck andwalls are now bulkheads.

They are transformed into a team, andare no longer individuals. Everythingdown to each minute of the day is sched-uled.

Already things have begun to change forthe recruits. They look more determined,but there are still lingering hints of doubton their faces.

The symbolism of the Marines beginsto sink in. Something as simple as a belt tothem now means something specific. Thesenior drill instructor wears a black belt,and is referred to as the “father figure,”while the green belts with gold belt bucklesymbolize the “step brothers nobody want-ed.”

These DIs are known as the enforcers,

the ones who are constantly in the face ofthe recruits scrutinizing their every move.

Yet, it all has a purpose. Breaking therecruits down so they can build them uphas always been the backbone of Marinetraining, making them the elite soldiersthey are known for.

The DIs are also there to be a mentor tothe young men. Taking off their hat, theywill hold guided discussions on topics thatfocus on values ranging from how to treatwomen to how to posture.

Commitment“Everyone has that thought of ‘I want to

quit,’” Dixon said. But few actually do.The attrition rate is less than 6 percent.

When recruits reach the point of actuallyattending their training in either SanDiego or Parris Island, S.C., they’re typical-ly six months to a year from the date theyoriginally enlisted. Many have attendedmini boot camp training with their

recruiters and may think they know whatto expect.

Few do.“Nothing prepares you for the real

thing,” said Dixon.Marine Corps training takes place in

three phases. During each, the recruitslearn how to attain and keep top physicalcondition, how to march in formation, howto fire a rifle accurately over long dis-tances, Marine-style martial arts, how toswim in full gear, discipline and otherintangibles. They learn about the historyof the Marine Corps, which they take veryseriously — the pivotal battles fought byMarines, the core values of honor, courageand commitment and how those valuesmust permeate their lives.

The physical training is hard. Veryhard, according to some, but the mentalstresses are cited more often as the mostdifficult part of the training. Near constantpressure to perform from drill instructorspushes the recruits to their limits.

“I feel like I did a lot of things I couldn’tdo before,” 18-year-old Michael Cossalter of

Rosemount said.And what about the Crucible — the 54

hours of hiking in full gear, exercises with acouple hours of sleep and only 3 “Meals Readyto Eat” rations for the duration?

“Hell,” Ahlberg said.But the teams of recruits keep themselves

going, dragging each other along and finallytopping the Reaper, a near vertical climb of ahike that takes them high above CampPendleton. With their goal of completing themission in sight, there’s one other motivationwaiting for the recruits.

Said Ahlberg: “Title’s right at the end of it.”

The ‘real’ graduationThough it will be a few days before the for-

mer recruits march across the parade groundsand officially graduate from their training, aspecial sort of graduation is on its way.

They’ve made it through the toughest partof their experience, the Crucible — “the besttraining in the world,” according to many —and are looking forward to food and cleanclothing, but they’ve got one more stop tomake.

At a special ceremony, the recruits aregiven a Marine Corps emblem — the eagle,globe and anchor — and addressed asMarines for the first time by their drillinstructor.

“As soon as it hit my hand, I started cry-ing,” Cossalter said. “Everything comes downto that one moment.”

And he was not alone. Many of the newlychristened Marines’ eyes betray their emo-tion as they take their places among the fewand the proud.

And their perspective has changed.“I don’t have pride,” said Dixon, “I am

pride.”

Once a Marine, always a Marine

After graduation, the new Marines willtake a 10-day leave for some much-earnedrest. They then will return to begin their fieldtraining. Their journey is just beginning, butno matter what each recruit does going for-ward each has become a part of the youngestand smallest group of soldiers in the U.S.armed forces.

The core values of the Corps – honor,courage and commitment — are built intoeverything they do. It’s something they areexpected to hold on to on and off the battle-field.

Local educatorsventure to SanDiego forMarine CorpsEducatorsWorkshopBY DANIEL CALLAHAN – SUN NEWSPAPERS

A group of educators – teachers, counselors –from the Twin Cities and Chicago made their way toSan Diego Jan. 9-13 to learn the ins and outs of whatit takes to join the United States Marine Corps.

Sgt. Maj. Justin Perry, originally from WhiteBear Lake, spoke plainly to the educators assembledat a dinner Monday, Jan. 9.

“We’re not here to try to sell the Marine Corps toyou,” he said, but rather to create resources for stu-dents who are considering signing up. The programhas been in existence for over 25 years in variousforms bringing civic leaders, educators and other toget an inside view of the Marine Corps. A view thatmight have been slightly different before the trip.

“I didn’t realize what it involved,” Amy Stewart,a special education instructor at RobbinsdaleArmstrong High School, said.

“It offers more opportunity for work and person-al development than any college I’ve ever seen,”Bloomington Jefferson High School physicalSciences teacher Chris Brom said.

For five days, the educators witnessed the mak-ing of Marines and experienced many of the lessintense parts of recruit training. From running theBayonet Assault Course at Marine Corps RecruitDepot San Diego to firing M16-A4 rifles at CampPendleton, the educators got a taste of what it takesto make it through training.

“It’s been an amazing, enlightening experience,”James Redelsheimer, an AP economics teacher fromArmstrong, said, “to see what it takes to make aMarine.”

Near the conclusion of the trip, many of the edu-cators agreed on the positive aspects of joining theCorps.

“It offers more than I thought,” said Brom. “Iwould have no reservations sending my daughter orson.”

Many of the educators were able to coordinateseeing or hearing about their former students nowin training.

Said Redelsheimer of seeing a former student:“He was a nice man, but definitely a changed per-son.”

“You can’t make this stuff up, right?”said Halberg, a high-profile attorneywho has also represented Denny Heckerand is representing Amy Senser in thefatal hit-and-run court case.

Scott’s defrauded insurance companyZurich North America in 2008 by falsify-ing reports, order receipts, tax state-ments and composing emails posed ascustomers of his business, according tofederal court documents,

Zurich North America declined tocomment for the story, citing the ongoingcourt case.

After he pleaded guilty in May inMinneapolis Federal Court, the next stepwas setting a date for a judge’s sentenc-ing.

Halberg said given the charges andhis guilty plea, a 5-7 year prison term – aguess based on sentencing proposals sub-mitted by both the U.S. attorneys andHalberg – looked reasonable.

“Quite frankly, we were pleased withthat,” Halberg said.

Scott had been cooperating, Halbergsaid. He cooperated with the propertyforfeiture, restitution payments and theoverall court proceedings. He was not

held in jail during the trial, and after hepleaded guilty, he was expected to live inhis Eden Prairie home (which the gov-ernment repossessed) until he went toprison, Halbeg said.

In fact, during the case, Scott’s sen-tencing would likely be reduced since heformally took responsibility for hisactions.

Put simply, if a defendant walks intocourt and says, “I apologize for what Idid,” three points are taken off the calcu-lation that determines his sentencing,Halberg said, and three points couldhave made years of difference.

“Mr. Scott understands that he hascommitted a serious offense,” Halbergwrote in his formal argument for shortersentencing. “He is very remorseful for it.He has already incurred significant neg-ative consequences through the forfei-ture action. He has committed no wrong-doing from this incident to the present.Since his initial court appearance, hehas complied with the conditions of hisrelease. … Mr. Scott has already beendeterred from further criminal con-duct.”

Then, Scott fled the country.“He will likely be losing his three

points of acceptance of responsibility,”Halberg said.

In September, nearly 100 miles northof the Twin Cities, the Mille Lacs County

Sheriff received a report of a kayakfound off the west side of Mille LacsLake. It had a bullet hole and an appar-ent suicide note in it.

The note said Scott was going to drophimself in the middle of the lake,weighted down, Halberg said.

The note said to contact Halberg.After multiple sweeps, his body never

came up. Since there was a suicide notebut no body, and given Scott was facing along prison sentence, he was placed onboth a wanted list and the county’s miss-ing person’s list.

“It almost appears as though he’sattempted to stage his death,” Mille LacsCounty Sheriff Brent Lindgren said inNovember.

By late December, Scott turned up at apharmacy in Canada, where he attempt-ed to get drugs with a forged prescrip-tion, according to a Winnipeg policereport.

When authorities arrived at the phar-macy, Scott had forged prescriptions andidentification with multiple names.Outside in his car, they found moreforged prescriptions and a loaded hand-gun, according to allegations in thereport.

In his apartment in Canada, theyfound more: $35,000 in Canadian and U.S.cash, $85,000 in 1-ounce gold coins, $756in 1-ounce silver coins, medication

obtained through forged signatures, bearspray and other items, according to thereport.

He also had materials to make theforged identification and prescriptions,including computers, a thermal printerand an inkjet printer.

He used the names Paul Ian Deckerand Travis Olson for his fake IDs.

Authorities also found out how he gotto Canada. On Sept. 10, Scott took a Piperaircraft, “in attempts to start a new lifein Canada,” the police report said. Scotttook off from Minneapolis and landed atan airport in St. Andrews, Manitoba.

How he got the cash, the Piper air-plane, gun, apartment, car and othermaterials remains unclear.

In his 30 years as an attorney, Halberghas had clients unnerved when facingprison time, but “nothing to this level.Nothing international and this level ofplanning,” he said.

Now what?Scott is being held in Canada. The

United States will seek extradition, aidU.S. Attorney’s Office spokeswomanJeanne Cooney, but it may not be for awhile.

Canadian officials want to move onthe charges against him, she said.

After one of the most brutal winters wehave encountered in the past 30 years, wehave all found things that need repair orreplacement on our homes. Many of us haveneeded to put off work being done to ourhomes do to economic hard times. Many ofus also put off projects to save money incase things got worse. Our home valueshave gone down which makes it hard to eventhink about selling our homes.

The reality is that we have to keep ourproperty in good shape to maintain our val-ues. Painting the exterior of our homes is byfar the best value to preserving our woodsurfaces and windows. We can also dramati-cally change the appearance of the inside ofour homes by updating colors. Paintingwoodwork is a very affordable option com-pared to replacing old trim around ourhomes.

In many older homes our windows are stillgood, but the old stain and varnish are notholding up any more. You can save thou-sands of dollars by painting these windows

verses replacing windows. Updating yourbasement family room can also be as easy aspainting the paneling.

Possession of the gun and forged doc-uments have brought at least fivecharges, according to the police report.

“He has very serious charges facinghim in Canada,” Cooney said. He will bebrought to the U.S. to continue the fraudcase and start court proceedings for hisflight, but only after Canadian authori-ties decide how to handle the situation.

“That’s all down the road,” Cooneysaid. “It could take quite a while.”

The fraudIn his guilty plea, Scott admitted he

submitted false insurance claims toZurich North America June 2008 toDecember 2008.

He used insurance money to buythree aircrafts, a boat and three vehicles.The Internal Revenue Service CriminalInvestigation Division seized those items

and more than $5 million in variousbank accounts.

Scott obtained more than $11 millionby filing false insurance claims throughhis business, Security ManagementTechnologies.

On June 1, 2008, a year after heobtained insurance from Zurich NorthAmerica, he reported lightning struckhis business, causing enough damage toclaim $9.5 million in damaged propertyand equipment, the policy limit.

Under his policy, he could choosebetween receiving the cash value of theproperty or replacing damaged items.

He initially chose the replacementoption, but later told Zurich that he hadreceived new equipment. Based on thatfalse claim, the company sent threechecks to Scott, totaling approximately$9.5 million.

For a “business interruption” Zurichalso paid Scott more than $1.9 million.That amount was based on a 2007 taxreturn that Scott falsified and gave toZurich.

the Battle of the Bulge, in which Guetzkealso took part.

For his role at the battle of St. Lo – vol-unteering to lead a night mission to flushout Nazi “strongholds” – Guetzke receivedthe Bronze Star of Valor in July 1944.

“They fought for every inch theycould get,” Guetzke’s friend of 40 years,Mike Farris, said after the ceremony.

It was after that battle when hisDivision went to Paris and protected thehistorical landmarks.

Once Paris was secure, the Battle ofthe Bulge was next. On New Year’s Eve,“they celebrated by shooting down nineNazi planes,” Tom Guetzke said. Fromthere, they headed east, to Germany,where they helped free concentrationcamps as part of the Allied forces’ occu-pation of Germany.

Guetzke and his soldiers could havebeen assigned to the Pacific theater, untilthe atomic bombs were dropped onHiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, leadingto the war’s end in the Pacific.

After the war, Guetzke returned to hiswife Vivian Guetzke, who he had mar-ried in 1942. He also returned to dentalschool and graduated in 1949. After grad-uating, he opened a family dental officeat the corner of Lake Street andHennepin Avenue in Minneapolis.

He has been a member of severalorganizations, including the Lions Club,which has given him several awards andhonors.

Given everything he has done andseen in his life, “he’s still pretty humble,”Tom Guetzke said after the ceremony.

His son said they have become closeover the years, but it’s less a father-sonrelationship than it is a friendship.

Even so, Tom said, every time heleaves his dad’s room, he still says, “Becareful.”
