30 years ago...From the Shakopee Valley
News, 1982Formal charges are expect-
ed to be filed soon against Sha-kopee Girls Basketball Coach Jim McCormack, as a result of threats he allegedly made toward a Hutchinson player during a recent game. While McCormack denies the nature of the allegations, he confirmed that an incident did take place during the game involving himself, Hutchinson Coach Mark Anderson and a Hutchin-son player. The complaint states that McCormack, appar-ently upset over the rough style of play on the court, threatened the coach and the Hutchinson player in the following man-ner: “If you don’t get her out of here, she’s dead; if you don’t get her out of here, we’ll drop her.” McCormack stated that those words were never used and that “nothing really happened.” McCormack stated that all he was doing was trying to take care of my players. It was a fact that they were over-reacting to their being humiliated on the court (Shakopee 52-37). Hutchinson had 27 fouls called against them in the game com-pared to Shakopee’s 17. Ander-son said games between the two teams have traditionally been physical.
The Shakopee Police Depart-ment will be getting a portable
breath tester soon to give pre-liminary tests to suspected drunken drivers. The ALERT unit, short for Alcohol Level Evaluation Road Tester, will be on loan from the state at no cost to the city.

News, 1962Previous authorization of
the burning of the old Mill Pond building in Memorial Park by the Shakopee Fire Department after April 1, with the structure being considered a hazard, was stayed indefinitely by ac-tion of the Shakopee Common Council.
One regular construction program for the 1962 fiscal year in this area... the Highway 101, East First Street project in Sha-kopee on which preliminary work is now underway.
Quick response by the Sha-kopee firemen saved the dairy barn at the John Sarazan farm at the intersection of County Roads 16 and 17 from being a total loss when the blaze broke out about 8:55 p.m. Monday night.

60 years ago...From the Shakopee Argus-
Tribune, 1952People will have paper to
burn from now on — that is, unless Shakopee Boy Scouts can find a market for the ton-nage they already have stored up. Wallace Kopisca, local scoutmaster, said the boys have discontinued picking up waste paper because they have been unable to sell it in recent weeks. Formerly they made regular Saturday pick-ups at homes
and business places throughout the city.
