Having fun in the fall

Edina High School production plays Oct. 28 to Nov. 5 BY KATIE MINTZ – SUN NEWSPAPERS Students in Edina’s latest musical aren’t just laughing at its title. They’re laughing at themselves. Edina High School Theater presents “Urinetown: The Musical” Friday, Oct. 28, through Saturday, Nov. 5, at the Edina Performing Arts Center. “Urinetown,” a comedy satirizing the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, bureaucracy and politics, also parodies other musicals. “Urinetown” will use choreography and set pieces from some of Edina’s past productions, which have included “Les Misérables,” “Fiddler on the Roof ” and “Westside Story.” “The most fun for me is just poking fun at ourselves,” Edina Theater Director Tony Matthes said. It follows the same formulaic model of many well-loved productions, while also taking it over the top, he said. “You have your hero, your villain, your love interest,” and what better name could there be for the leading man Bobby Strong, played by Edina senior Patrick Solberg, he said.

Police auctions: lost, found and put online BY PAUL GROESSEL – SUN NEWSPAPERS Want some stolen property from Eden Prairie? Just go online. When Eden Prairie, Richfield, Bloomington and Edina police department can’t find the owner of items in their possession, the items are considered abandoned property after a while (usually 90 days) and then given to an online auctioneer. The online proprietor is propertyroom.com, where more than a million prospective buyers bid on thousands of items up for auction at any given time. All four departments use the online service, according to officers at each department. If an item is sold, the money comes back to the city and propertyroom.com gets a percentage from the sale. A police department could have those prized and not-so-prized possessions for a variety of reasons – someone calls the police and says a bike has been aban-

doned curbside for three weeks; they obtain stolen items sold to a pawnshop (identified using serial numbers crossed-checked in pawnshop databases), or evidence from an ongoing court case is no longer needed. In all of those examples, the owner cannot be identified. Guns, drugs and other contraband are usually destroyed. Lt. Bill Wyffels of Eden Prairie said the department incinerates computer hard drives, too, in case there is any personal information on them. But, if the abandoned property happens to be money, it’s put into the city’s general fund. It’s usually not a large booty. Recently, $1.32 in change was on Eden Prairie Police Department’s list of abandoned items. It was several lines down from a couple Rolex watches. Wyffels said the $1.32 came from someone’s wallet, obtained after executing a search warrant. The police didn’t know what pocket the wallet came from.

So, it made the list. The expensive watches were among other jewelry stolen and sold to a pawnshop, where the police tracked it down in 2006. “Pawnshops are very good about tracking … who comes in and pawns stuff,” Wyffels said. Pawnshops have to keep record of who sells what in a pawnshop, and police can crosscheck serial numbers on the pawnshop list with a list of “hot” or reported stolen items. Since the police department usually confiscates the stolen item to try and track down its owner and find out who stole it, the pawnshop usually loses whatever it paid for that stolen item. “That’s why sometimes we see $5,000 Rolex watches pawned in for $50,”Wyffels said. Pawnshop owners know that comes with the territory, though, Wyffels said. Propertyroom.com formed in 1999 and went live in 2001, said founder Thomas Lane. They take items from

2,500 police departments in 47 states, including the New York Police Department, the largest in the country. The company has eight warehouses throughout the country, and drivers make regular pickups at the departments. The site has 1.25 million registered shoppers, Lane said. They pick up and sell all kinds of items, Lane said — electronics, power tools, air conditioners. “It runs the gamut,” Lane said. Officers in Eden Prairie, Edina, Bloomington and Richfield all said one item in particular is abandoned more often than others. “We get a lot of bikes, a lot of abandoned bikes in this city,” said Michelle Bentley, a property and evidence clerk with Edina. Lane said small police departments can provide a lot of material, but the southwest cities seem to get abandoned property picked up two to four times a year.

Forum to look at connections to human trafficking Discussion to center on Minnesota’s role in issue BY MIKE HANKS – SUN NEWSPAPERS A Bloomington church group isn’t looking to reinvent the wheel, but it is looking to make a difference in addressing a topic that doesn’t is a shared concern of members of its congregation: human trafficking. Bloomington Covenant Church is hosting a forum Saturday, Oct. 29, to examine how Minnesota plays a role in human trafficking and resources that are available to help its victims. The Daybreak Human Trafficking Task Force has invited experts in law enforcement and social services to speak about the topic Saturday morning. Human trafficking is defined as the use of force, fraud or coercion to induce a person to produce goods or services, including prostitution. The forum will examine Minnesota’s involvement in sex trafficking, according to Cyd Johnson of Bloomington,

was surprised to learn how children are victims of human trafficking. After hearing a speaker on the topic and doing her own research, Johnson realized, “This is what I need to be doing.” Johnson and other members of the Bloomington Covenant Church congregation asked the church leadership for support of a task force as part of the church mission. With the church’s support, the task force is encouraging people to become involved in existing organizations and organizing the forum to promote awareness of the topic, she explained. The task force holds a small, monthly prayer walk at Mall of America as part of its awareness campaign and will evaluate the forum in determining how to continue its outreach, Johnson explained. Advance and day-of-forum registration is available. The forum will qualify for three hours of social work continuing educational credits. A $10 donation per participant is suggested, $5 per student.

OUR VIEWPOINT

EDINA

Three remaining school board candidates right choice Five names will appear on the ballot for three seats on the Edina School Board, but only three of those five are actively campaigning. Edina is lucky they are incumbent Cathy Cella and challengers Sarah Patzloff and Leny Wallen-Friedman. The Edina Sun-Current enthusiastically endorses all three. We believe each has gone above and beyond in years past to serve the district and its students. Through their dedication they have gained the necessary experience and knowledge to shepherd Edina Public Schools through both exciting and potentially difficult times ahead. Cella was first elected in 2007 after serving on numerous school- and district-level committees including chairing site councils at elementary and middle schools, and leading the Edina High School Parent Council as president. Over the last four years on the board she has played an active role revis-

ing antiquated district policy. A retired attorney, she brings a level head with a knack for detail but also the ability to see the big picture. A longtime Edina resident active in many organizations, her ties to the community will also be valuable as the district looks to collaborate in difficult financial times. Every school board candidate says they’re passionate about education, and then there’s Patzloff, who convinces you she is. She has clearly done her homework and speaks with conviction on current district issues. She has shown her commitment to Edina children through service on the districtwide Parent Leadership Council, Community Education Services Board, in the classroom and more. At the same time, the stay-at-home mom and former media supervisor is realistic about funding challenges facing all districts, and is willing to ask tough questions and make tough deci-

sions. As a parent of two young children, she will bring a new perspective to the board. We believe she will hit the ground running. Wallen-Friedman, an attorney with a bachelor’s degree in finance, is also well prepared to serve on the Edina School Board. For a decade he’s been involved in the district budget as a community member appointed to the School Board Finance Committee. For the last three years he’s also taken part in the Budget Reduction, Reallocation and Revenue Generation Committee to meet funding shortfalls. Complex budgetary issues do not excite many, so Wallen-Friedman’s dedication should be noted. We think he will carefully analyzed all issues before making decisions that impact Edina youth. Ben Rider and Jason Berger, whose names will appear on the ballot but are no longer actively campaigning, faced a tough field. Edina residents

should be fortunate for the number of high-quality candidates that give their time. We encourage future candidates in any local race to spend time volunteering, especially with organizations they intend to lead, before making the brave decision to run for public office. The Edina Sun-Current would also like to thank outgoing School Board members Petyon Robb and Bert Ledder for their valuable service. In his 12 years, Robb became the district’s source for the latest legislative updates. He had an incredible ability to put every state and local decision in context for Edina residents to understand. In her eight years, Ledder was an outspoken advocate for children – even if it meant going against the grain. In recent years, we admired her courage to speak up in support of the elementary Spanish language program and call attention to troubling substance use patterns. Both will be missed.

OUR VIEWPOINT

Edina technology, operating referendums endorsed Voters are being asked to help Edina Public Schools maintain and expand its reputation for providing excellent and innovative education. On the Tuesday, Nov. 8, district residents will decide on two levy referendums: 1) to renew the current operating levy, which provides approximately $3 million, or $400 per pupil annually. 2) to renew and increase the capital technology levy from $1 million to $4.5 million annually.

This funding would expand and integrate technology infrastructures. The Edina Sun-Current endorses both levy referendums. Their benefits far outweigh their costs. The operating levy will continue to provide general fund dollars that are relied on for existing programs. This money is under the sole control of the district. It will provide a level of security at a time when funding from the state – the source of 70 percent of

the district’s budget – continues to be uncertain. Over the next 10 years, the $4.5 million annual technology levy will ensure Edina has the infrastructure, staff training and equipment in place to inspire 21st century learners. There has been some question as to how exactly the district will spend the money. Consider its current actual technology spending and it’s easier to understand where the money will go. While the district now collects about $1

million a year from the levy, it says it is spending about $3.5 million on technology. The majority – $1.7 million – is covered by the general fund. About $816,000 comes from the capital fund. The new technology levy would allow the district to redirect almost $1.2 million back to the general fund to support educational programs, services and projects, as well as $800,000 back to the capital fund. It would conENDORSEMENT: TO NEXT PAGE

Endorsement FROM PREVIOUS PAGE tinue to use about $500,000 from the general fund, for a total of $5 million in technology spending. That’s only $1.5 million more than is being spent now. That $1.5 million will help replace computers on a five-year schedule, install interactive whiteboards and document cameras in more classrooms, keep network connections and software up to date, and more. If the operating and technology levy referendums are approved, the total increase in property taxes would be about $178 annually on a $400,000 median value home. That’s an increase of $14.83 per month. For Edina residents, where the median household income is $76,805 – well above the national average in 2009, according to the U.S. Census Bureau – $14.83 a month likely amounts to an hour or less of work. We believe that most of Edina’s dedicated parents would give up an hour of pay to volunteer in the classroom. We think this should be viewed the same way – giving up

an hour to help ensure the best education possible. For those without children in school, there is a still motivation. Edinans have long enjoyed high property values many attribute to the continued success of the schools. In the city’s resident satisfaction survey conducted last spring, “good schools” was the top reason people said they moved to Edina. In April, Forbes.com also named Edina Public Schools one of “America’s 25 Best Schools for Your Housing Buck.” If both questions are unsuccessful, the district would lose 5 percent of its general fund annual revenue and would need to make an annual $4 million budget adjustment. Edina has already made budget reductions totaling nearly $5 million over the past 10 years due to continuing state funding declines. Last spring, it cut $2.3 million from the general fund budget. Most of the low-hanging fruit has long been picked and tough decisions remain for future cuts. If the referendums do not pass, likely results would be larger class sizes, fewer programs and course offerings and stalled expansion and integration of technology.

make budget reductions totaling 6 percent of our operating funds. A failure to approve the levy referendums will reduce the district’s revenue by an additional 5 percent and force reductions in educational programs that have a direct impact on student success. As Edina residents, we understand the value of our schools to our community. The Edina tradition of excellence in education strengthens our community and, in turn, this great community keeps our schools strong. The Edina School Board encourages you to vote yes for education on Nov. 8. To learn more about the referendums, please see www.edina.k12.mn.us or call the district office at 952-848-4000.

The capital levy referendum also renews existing funding and provides additional dollars for technology to help our district and students stay competitive in an increasingly technological world.

But we realize how tenuous the public school funding situation is across the nation, and Edina is not immune.

Edinans will have the opportunity to demonstrate this commitment again as we vote on two school-related issues on Nov. 8. David and I will be voting yes and yes, for our kids.

serve on the Edina School Board the past eight years. Your support and encouragement have been both humbling and an experience I will never forget. I have tried my best to always keep the youth of Edina at the forefront of my decisions. We have continued Edina pride and branded Edina Public Schools as a School of Excellence. Now it is time to pass the torch to new voices that deserve your support. Sarah Patzloff has worked hard for Edina Public Schools. She brings a common sense approach to analyzing the issues and has volunteered countless hours in her work with Edina’s Family Center, Edina Unplugged, Parent Leadership Council and as current president of the Parent Communication Network. She will bring balance to the board having young children who attend their neighborhood school and a commitment to continue Edina’s standard of excellence. During my tenure, I have worked with Leny Wallen-Friedman on the district Finance Committee. He pays attention to detail and understands the budget and the need for adequate funding as well as fiscal responsibility. Edina needs Leny’s talents in finance on the Edina School Board to navigate these challenging times. As the only incumbent, Cathy Cella well deserves to continue serving on the board. Over the past four years Cathy and I have worked hard to update the district policies, many of which had not been addressed in four decades. Please vote for Sarah, Leny and Cathy on Nov. 8. Bert Ledder Edina

Re-elect Cathy Cella Do you sleep all night but wake up exhausted? Do your bed partner’s restless legs or loud snoring make it impossible for you to sleep? No matter what sleep problems plague you, this FREE seminar is for you. In his talk, “Dreaming of Sleep,” Michael Howell, M.D., sleep medicine specialist, will discuss the importance of sleep, circadian rhythms (disruptions in a person’s internal body clock) and common pitfalls in evaluating and treating sleep disorders.

To the editor: I encourage all Edina voters to re-elect Cathy Cella to the Edina School Board. I have known Cathy for more than 20 years, first as an Edina parent because our children are the same age and were good friends. However, I have also seen her on a regular basis because she and I are actively involved in the community. To highlight some of her contributions: Edina School Board, Voter Service Council (chair and longtime election judge), League of Women Voters, Edina Girls Athletic Association (past president), parent councils (elementary, middle and high school; past president at high school), Chemical Health Partners (former member) and numerous others. Although she has made many significant contributions, a significant recent one was the complete revision of the formerly burdensome, complicated, contradictory and non-user-friendly school policies, which involved many hours of her time. And, despite her overwhelming work for the community, she still finds time to teach

confirmation classes at her church, which she has done for 28 years. We are lucky to have Cathy representing the interests of kids and parents on the school board and there is no question that she should be re-elected. Please give her your vote. Mark W. Peterson Edina

Thanks for supporting Edina Art Center To the editor: As many of you know, I have retired after having the honor of serving as the director of the Edina Art Center for more than 25 years. I would like to express my gratitude to the former mayors and city council members who supported the Art Center’s mission statement for many years. Special thanks to Mayors Jim VanValkenburg, Wayne C. Courtney, Fred Richards and Denny Maetzold, and to Edina City Council members, especially Linda Masica, Jack Rice, Peggy Kelly and many other city leaders. These representatives recognized that Edina residents are more than willing to pay less than a penny a day out of the liquor store million dollar profits to have such a valuable community asset. I would also like to thank the Edina Art Center dedicated staff members, instructors and volunteers who work so hard to bring you quality individualized guided art education. Most of all I thank John Keprios, Edina Parks and Recreation Director, who has given never-ending support and encouragement to all of his staff. His wisdom, integrity and dedication guides our parks and recreational programming and creates the premier community that we live in. If the Edina Art Center has touched your heart in any way, I urge you to let your voice of support be heard by emailing or writing to your current city leaders at edinamail@ci.edina.mn.us or mail to the mayor and city council at 4801 West 50th Street, Edina, MN 55424.

Ban outdoor wood fires To the editor: I must confess that, in general, I favor expanding personal rights. However, when it comes to backyard fires and their impact on public health, there is no question in my mind that safeguarding the health of our community takes precedence over the right to burn wood in a backyard. I urge the Edina City Council to ban outdoor wood fires. Jane Levin Edina

EdenPURE ranked #1 in North America ®

Save $192 - biggest savings ever Never be cold again

How it works:

Bob Vila, America’s Favorite Home Improvement Expert, Canton, Ohio

I know why millions of Americans are saving on their heating bills with the EdenPURE® Infrared Portable Heater. And now you can save up to $192, our lowest prices ever on the new 2012 EdenPURE® Personal Heater. The heater I personally rank #1 in North America. For over 30 years as your home improvement television host, I have reviewed and experienced thousands of products. I have an EdenPURE ® in my Massachusetts home and found it to be a very safe and reliable source of portable heat. This is one of those few comfort investments I can recommend for your home that will truly pay dividends. We all know heating costs are expected to remain at record levels. The cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. The EdenPURE® can cut your heating bills, pay for itself in a matter of weeks, and then start putting a great deal of extra money in your pocket after that. With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EdenPURE ® heats better, faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silent. A major cause of residential fires in the United States is portable heaters. The choice of fire and safety professionals everywhere, the EdenPURE ® has no exposed heating elements that can cause a fire. The outside of the EdenPURE® only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets. And your pet may be just like my dog who has reserved a favorite spot near the EdenPURE®. Accept no imitations. The EdenPURE® can also help you feel better. Unlike EdenPURE® imitators, it will not reduce humidity or oxygen in the room. These imitators use ce-

Heats floor to the same temperature as ceiling.

1. Electricity ignites powerful SYLVANIA infrared lamps. 2. The quartz infrared lamp gently warms the patented copper heating chambers.

3. The soft heat “rides” the humidity in the room and provides even, moist, soft heat ceiling to floor and wall to wall without reducing oxygen and humidity.

ramic plates instead of our patented copper. Cheap ceramic plates reduce humidity, dry out your sinuses and make your skin dry. With other heating sources, you'll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen. The advanced space-age EdenPURE ® also heats the room evenly, wall to wall and floor to ceiling. Other heating sources heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated high and to the center of the room. And as you know, portable heaters only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EdenPURE®, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room. How can a person cut their heating bill with the EdenPURE®? First, the EdenPURE® uses less energy to create heat than many other sources, but that is just part of why it will cut a person’s heating bill. The EdenPURE® will heat a room in minutes. You will immediately notice the difference! Therefore, you can turn the heat down in your

house to as low as 50 degrees, but the room you are occupying, which has the EdenPURE ® , will be warm and comfortable. Your EdenPURE ® easily moves from room to room. Using zone heating keeps you comfortable and reduces your heating bills. This can drasti-

cally cut heating bills; in some instances, the savings may be substantial. The EdenPURE® will pay for itself in weeks. It will keep a great deal of extra money in a user’s pocket. Because of today’s spiraling gas, oil, propane, and other energy costs, the EdenPURE® will provide even greater savings as time goes by. The EdenPURE® Personal Heater comes with a comprehensive three year warranty and a 60-day, no questions asked, satisfaction guarantee – EdenPURE® will even pay for

the return shipping. There is absolutely no risk. And EdenPURE ® is the only portable heater with a National Service Network. How to order: During this special 10 day offer we can deliver to your home our Personal Heater which comfortably covers an area up to 350 square feet. During our special, you are eligible for a $175 DISCOUNT PLUS FREE SHIPPING AND HANDLING FOR A TOTAL SAVINGS OF UP TO $192 on the EdenPURE ® Personal Heater. Our largest

discount ever. This special offer expires in 10 days. If you order after that, we reserve the right to either accept or reject order requests at the discounted price. See my attached Authorized Discount Coupon to take advantage of this savings opportunity. The EdenPURE® carries a 60-day unconditional, no-risk guarantee. If you are not totally satisfied, return it at our expense and your purchase price will be refunded. No questions asked. There is also a 3year warranty for the Personal Heater.

Here comes Peter Cottontail Learn about these Edina furry friends, or foes BY JEANNIE K. HANSON • GUEST COLUMNIST It’s certainly not Easter – no pretty little eggs anywhere – but Peter and Pam Cottontail, Edina bunny rabbits, are probably in or around your yard somewhere. Does one have your last flower by the throat? Are you tempted to Google recipes for roasted hasenpfeffer? Though many people, especially the best gardeners among us, dislike rabbits, I hope to surprise you with a few things. Just one example: Have you ever seen one mad? Though they’re peaceful creatures, even feeding alongside another rabbit occasionally, if one grazes a little too close to the other, things change. That offended rabbit will levitate straight up on all four paws then drop down hard for a bit more emphasis. It’s funny to watch, and it leads to no mayhem. Rabbits are generally on the receiving end of aggressions. They’re commonly eaten by the likes of weasels, great horned owls, eagles and foxes. The fox has a special rabbit-catching trick. It will roll on the ground or chase its tail to persuade a somewhat nearby rabbit that the fox is otherwise occupied. Meanwhile it is gradually moving a bit closer to the rabbit. Then comes the pounce. Rabbits have no real defenses. This is why they’re so skittish. It’s also why they run zigzag when chased, to create a harder pursuit for a predator that is a bit bulkier, less agile. And they do run pretty fast across your open yard to the nearest bush,

the suburban rabbit refuge. Rabbits indeed have sharp teeth on top and bottom, but they use them to bite off your flowers in such a clean line. The real success strategy of the rabbit is, of course, that they “breed like rabbits.” In late winter, they search not only for twigs and buds but also for mates. Soon a nest must be prepared, requiring a dugout depression under a bush lined with some of their own fur. In about May, the little ones are born naked of fur and blind, probably four of them. The mother sometimes carries them by the scruff of the neck. These creatures may remind you vaguely of a rodent, what with the toothy look and shape of the face, but they’re actually a bit close to the ungulate family – the hoofed animals like cattle. Instead of more than one stomach, to reprocess food for nutrients (the way a cow chews its cud then swallows it again) rabbits use their feces. Their poop is of two kinds: dry, which they just leave where it drops, and moist, covered with mucus. They eat the moist pellets again, running it through their intestines to pull out more nutrition. Grazing animals tend to eat foods that are low in nutrients, yet eat them in large volumes. Maturing quickly, the bunnies are off on their own by the time they hit one month. They can start breeding about then too. The mother is on to other activities. She can have at least three litters every year. Want to love rabbits more? Next year at the Minnesota State Fair check out the amazing variety of beautiful rabbits that have been bred by humans.

Heritage of Edina

Dear Maria Field: Thank you for providing a facility and staff that gave my Aunt, Irene Nyrud, outstanding care, during the nearly six years she was a resident of Manor. Aunt Irene passed away on July 3, after a short time on Allina Hospice status. It was a comfort to her and family that Aunt Irene was able to remain in her apt. during that period. I visited her at least weekly during the time she lived in the Manor and accompanied her to special occasions at your facilities. My experiences have been positive and I think that is remarkable over such a long period. There are many staff to recognize, those I had most interaction with and observed providing such excellent compassionate care on 2nd floor Manor are Nurse Lynn, nursing assistants Kahlia, Nima, Joseph. There are others that I surely didn’t mention. Also, Penny on 3rd floor is an excellent caregiver and I remember her as Aunt Irene was on 3rd floor in the beginning of her 6 year stay. I hope all who give such commendable service be valued. Sincerely, JE Joyce Ehmke Your services are wonderful-you take the best care of people. I would recommend Heritage to anyone. I was always certain you were taking the best care of her. My mother (Irene) was fortunate to have lived there. PR Peggy Roudebus

VOTERS GUIDE

SCHOOL BOARD – PAGE 20A REFERENDUMS – PAGE 21A VOTING INFORMATION – PAGE 22A

Three running for three seats on Edina School Board BY KATIE MINTZ – SUN NEWSPAPERS Three Edina residents are actively running for three seats on the Edina School Board. Candidates are one-term incumbent Cathy Cella and challengers Sarah Patzloff and Leny WallenFriedman.

Two other names will also appear on the Nov. 8 ballot. Candidates had until Aug. 18 to officially withdraw their names from the ballot. Jason Berger and Ben Rider did not meet the deadline but have since notified Edina Public Schools they are no longer actively seeking election.

Cathy Cella Address: 7123 Tupa Drive, Edina Years in district: 25 Family: Husband, John Ellingboe; four children Education: J.D., University of Minnesota Occupation: Retired attorney Community involvement: Edina School Board member, Edina High School Local Scholarship Committee member Cathy Cella and Valley View Middle School Mock Trial coach Info: cathycella.com Cathy Cella said she’s running for the same reason she did four years ago. “I want to make sure that Edina continues to excel at educating all its students and educating them to thrive and strive in tomorrow’s world,” she said. With two colleagues leaving the board, she said her experience as an incumbent, and dedication to the district that got her there, are important assets. She was president of the parent council at Edina High School, and served on numerous site councils and district committees before being elected in 2007. “I have a really broad perspective across all sites and at the district level on a lot of issues because I’ve just been involved for that many years,” said Cella, noting this is the 23rd consecutive year she’s had a child in the district. Her youngest is a junior at Edina High. Three have graduated. Cella, a retired attorney, said money is the most significant issue facing all school districts. Edina should seek partnerships with businesses and community groups so it can rely less on state funding, she said. She pointed to the paver project at Kuhlman Stadium helping pay for field repairs as an example. She said it

According to the Minnesota School Boards Association, if Berger or Rider are among the top three vote-getters, they can still accept the position. If they decline, the school board must then appoint a person to fill the first two years of the term until the next election cycle in 2013.

should also be creative seeking additional revenue, citing refinancing of building bonds this fall that will save $500,000 annually. Cella supports both levy referendums on the Nov. 8 ballot. She said the capital levy for technology will put in place infrastructure to educate students in the digital age. It will also free up dollars in the general fund. The operating levy, if denied, “would leave a huge hole in our budget.” She said an additional choice program at the Edina Community Center could make it possible for the district to attract more students – and more revenue. Choice programs, which are being discussed as part of the strategic plan update, could also help address racial isolation at schools if it became an issue. She said she would not support boundary changes to address racial isolation. “We want to be sure that we still have strong neighborhood schools and kids can still go to the school in their neighborhood if that’s what they choose to do,” she said. Cella said the district does a good job of educating all students to reach their potential through intervention and enrichment programs like AVID and Young Scholars.

Sarah Patzloff Address: 5508 Chantrey Road, Edina Years in district: 11 Family: Husband, Paul Patzloff; two children Education: B.A. in Communications, Winona State University Occupation: Homemaker, former media supervisor Community involvement: Parent Leadership Council member, Edina Parent Communication Network presi- Sarah Patzloff

School board members Bert Ledder and Peyton Robb are not running for reelection. Terms for the three Edina School Board positions are four years beginning Jan. 1, 2012, and ending Dec. 31, 2016. School board members receive annual compensation of $2,400.

dent and Community Education Services Board member Info: sarahpatzloff.com Sarah Patzloff has good reason to care about Edina schools. “I have two young kids,” a first-grader and fourthgrader at Highlands Elementary, she said. “I want my first grader, who doesn’t graduate until 2023, to have the same great education that the kids who graduated last year had.” The former media supervisor and stay-at-home mom said she will help maintain Edina’s record of excellence in difficult financial times. She said would also bring balance and new perspective to the board as an elementary parent. Patzloff has served on the district-wide Parent Leadership Council, the Community Education Services Board and was also a part of the committee looking at budget reductions last spring. Patzloff said while state funding has been stagnant, the district spends more each year. If cutbacks are necessary, she wants them to affect students as little as possible. “This may mean looking different at negotiations that have to do with salaries and benefits, where can we find those efficiencies,” she said. She supports both levy referendums on the Nov. 8 ballot. The technology levy will be used to make infrastructure upgrades and train teachers, and not wasted on the latest gadget, she said. She is a fan of local levies and said Edina is blessed for its tradition of support. “These are the dollars that come from our district, they stay 100 percent in our district and they are in 100 percent control of the district,” she said. When it comes to growing enrollment, she said it’s a balancing act between maintaining full schools – and revenue – and not exceeding capacity. Patzloff said she would need a lot of data and rationale before adding buildings. “If we had no open enrollment we would not have

2011 SUN NEWSPAPERS VOTERS GUIDE full schools. Then you’re cutting back teachers and possibly increasing class sizes,” she said, noting there will always be room for district residents. Before the district looks at adding choice programs, she also wants to know there is demand, and especially among targeted demographics if used to address racial isolation. She said she would not support boundary changes if the district was forced to address racial isolation by the state. Currently the district educates and knows how to engage students well. “We have the most students taking AP courses at our high school relative to other schools in Minnesota, other schools across the country,” she said. “We have kids who want to excel and achieve. Obviously Edina has got something they’re doing right.”

Leny Wallen-Friedman Address: 6805 Limerick Lane, Edina Years in district: 18 Family: Wife, Margaret Wallenfriedman; three children Education: J.D., University of Wisconsin-Madison Occupation: Attorney Community involvement: Edina School Board Finance and Facilities Committee member, Edina Baseball and Soccer Association coach, and former Leny Wallen-Friedman Cub Scout and Normandale PTO treasurer Leny Wallen-Friedman Info: lenywallen-friedman.com Leny Wallen-Friedman’s children have benefited from Edina schools and he wants to do his part to keep them strong. If elected to the board, he will not come with preconceived ideas, but will listen to what district administrators and parents have to say. “I think this is really important,” said WallenFriedman, an attorney. His vision for the future is solid integration of technology into curriculum. He said technology can keep kids engaged in education. “Every September the kids show up excited [to learn]. The job of the district is to maintain that and create a passion for learning in kids,” said WallenFriedman, who has two Edina graduates and a thirdgrader at Normandale Elementary. He supports the technology and operating levy referendums on the Nov. 8 ballot. Both provide funding needed to maintain and enhance programs. “Our district has so many options for our students and we don’t want to start cutting that back,” he said. By better using resources, such as technology, the district could overcome future financial challenges. Student numbers in certain classes could be increased to save money without losing teacher-student contact if, for example, many students watched a lecture online and spent less time in class but in smaller groups. As a longtime member of the district’s finance

committee and participant in the budget reduction process, he said the district has done a good job to engage the community in fiscal decisions. To stay on top of modestly growing enrollment so that it does not reach a costly tipping point, the district should carefully track demographics. “I think we need to study our patterns, try to come up with a predictable model and work within our space. If that means cap open enrollment, cap open enrollment,” he said. Wallen-Friedman said the most significant issue immediately facing the district is the revision of its strategic plan underway. With the current budget set and referendums on the ballot, concern about finances could take the backseat for one year. “The strategic plan may put us in a position so that when money gets tighter – it is already tight – we’ll have a way of handling it,” Wallen-Friedman said. “We’ll have a way of increasing our efficiency.” He said he would support more choice programs, another potential aspect of the plan, if they did not diminish other programs. He would not support boundary changes as a way to address racial isolation if it were to occur, he said.

Edina School District seeking approval of two levy referendums This fall, residents in the Edina School District will be faced with two levy referendums. On Tuesday, Nov. 8, voters in the district will be asked: 1) to renew the current operating levy, which provides approximately $3 million or $400 per pupil annually. 2) to renew and increase the capital levy from $1 million to $4.5 million annually. This funding would expand and integrate technology infrastructure, hardware, software, support and training. Existing levies will expire in 2012. School Board Chair Randy Meyer said support of the referendums is critical to Edina’s ongoing success. “Strong communities make strong schools,” Meyer said. “Edina students continue to excel and our district continues to rank among the best in the nation because the Edina community places a high value on education and has historically supported the operating and capital levy referendums.” Edina Public Schools relies on the state for approximately 70 percent of its funding. Renewal of the operating levy at its current level is a way to keep local control of money the district has built into its budget.

The technology levy will allow the district to expand innovative and personalized learning to occur at anytime and anywhere, Supt. Ric Dressen said. “Technology will be essential in this effort, providing students with interactive, hands-on and engaged approaches to traditional curriculum for deeper learning and skills development,” he said. Edina Public Schools was the first district to capitalize on new state legislation that allowed school districts to levy for technology upgrades in 2001. That levy provided funding for hardware only. The district currently receives the least amount per pupil from its existing technology levy when compared to six neighboring suburban districts. Edina receives $122 per pupil, while Hopkins receives $719, Minnetonka receives $655, Eden Prairie receives $637, Wayzata receives $545, St. Louis Park receives $306 and Bloomington receives $273. If the new technology referendum is approved, Edina will collect $549 per student per year. The new technology levy would provide funding to integrate technology hardware, software, infrastructure, support and training as outlined in the district’s 2015 Technology Plan. According to levy documents, about $600,000 a year would be spent on one-time expenses such as interactive whiteboards, document cameras, audio and video equipment and student response systems for classrooms. Another $3.9 million a year would be spent on ongoing expenses like maintenance and replacement of aging equipment, network and server enhancements, staff training and other costs. While the district now collects about $1 million a year from the existing technology levy, it is spending about $3.5 million on technology, according to Dressen. The majority of expenses – $1.7 million – are covered by the general fund. About $816,000 comes from the capital fund. The new technology levy would allow the district to redirect almost $1.2 million back to the general fund to support educational programs, services and projects, as well as $800,000 back to the capital fund, he said. It would continue to use about $500,000 from the general fund, for a total of $5 million in technology spending each year when combined with the $4.5 million referendum. If both questions are successful, the additional tax impact on a median-priced home of $400,000 in Edina would be $14.83, or $178 a year. For the owner of a $300,000 home, the impact would be an additional $10.75 a month, or $129 a year. For the owner of a $500,000 home, the impact would be an additional $18.58 a month, or $223 a year. If both questions are unsuccessful, the district would lose 5 percent of its general fund annual revenue and would need to make an annual $4 million budget adjustment, or the equivalent of approximately 65 teachers. Likely results would be larger class sizes, fewer programs and course offerings and stalled expansion and integration of technology. The next opportunity for the district to seek a referendum would be November 2012. For more information on the levy referendums, visit edina.k12.mn.us, email levy-info@edina.k12.mn.us.

History FROM PAGE 14A by Axel from his Channel 4 tree house. “Don’t track in mud” shot like bullets from every kitchen daily from thaw to frost. Linoleum police – sisters and mothers – armed with mops, guarded all back doors: “Check Point Charlies” through which no shoes coated with Woodhill mud could pass. Like the Minneapolis Lakers and Ford Fairlanes, Woodhill seemed to be good for everybody: Old Man Shaughnessey and the homebuilders, we figured, became rich, we got new neighbors and Edina grew bigger. But the Creston Hills kids were never again graced by Meadowlark song. Mother Nature’s heart, I suspect, was also broken-hearted. This story was submitted for the Edina History Museum’s upcoming “Growing Up in Edina: A Show and Tell Exhibit.” Strate, now an Eden Prairie resident, provides a more complete account of Creston Hills and the Cahill area of 1950s Edina in “Paradise Lost,” available at the Edina Museum and jeffstrate.com.

Right Way Painting Solutions After one of the most brutal winters we have encountered in the past 30 years, we have all found things that need repair or replacement on our homes. Many of us have needed to put off work being done to our homes do to economic hard times. Many of us also put off projects to save money in case things got worse. Our home values have gone down which makes it hard to even think about selling our homes. The reality is that we have to keep our property in good shape to maintain our values. Painting the exterior of our homes is by far the best value to preserving our wood surfaces and windows. We can also dramatically change the appearance of the inside of our homes by updating colors. Painting woodwork is a very affordable option compared to replacing old trim around our homes. In many older homes our windows are still good, but the old stain and varnish are not holding up any more. You can save thousands of dollars by painting these windows verses replacing windows. Updating your

basement family room can also be as easy as painting the paneling. I’m Paul Moore from Rightway Painting Solutions. I’ve been in the painting business for over 20 years. Being a former Shop Teacher, I have a good background in finishing and wood replacement. We do both residential and commercial painting. We do work for several Town Home Associations, Nursing Homes and Residential Properties. We give our customers great value by being able to not just paint. We replace or repair wood, repair and reglaze older windows and reside areas that need replacement. We also repair decks and re stain decks. On the inside we repair walls, remove wallpaper, enamel wood work and paint paneling. We offer a 2 year labor warrantee on our labor, provide references and we would be happy to give you a free estimate. For all of your painting needs give us a call at 612-8392239.

Volleyball Friday Eden Prairie, Wayzata and Minnetonka are the top three seeds for the Class 3A, Section 6 volleyball tournament. Quarterfinal action will take place at the Eden Prairie and Wayzata gyms with 6 and 8 p.m. matches Friday, Oct. 28. Eden Prairie (18-4) defeated Wayzata and Minnetonka two times each to win the Lake Conference title. But Minnetonka (19-9) is improving under first-year head coach Karl Katzenberger and Wayzata has tradition. The Trojans have finished second in state each of the past two seasons.

TRUE TEAM TITLE Stillwater High won the state True Team girls swimming and diving title Oct. 19. The next three places went to Lake Conference teams, Edina, Wayzata and Minnetonka.

Hornets finish regular season 4-4 Despite injuries, Edina remains competitive BY JOHN SHERMAN – SUN NEWSPAPERS A rash of injuries has made this a difficult season for head coach Reed Boltmann and the Edina High football team. But even with the loss of some of their best players, the Hornets managed to finish 4-4 during the regular season. In the final week, they made a statement by beating North St. Paul 46-14 Oct. 19 at Kuhlman Field. “It’s a tribute to the kids,” said Boltmann. “They have stayed together and kept on competing. North St. Paul [like Edina] is a Class 5A team, but they aren’t the caliber of the teams we have been playing – Wayzata, Minnetonka and Eden Prairie.” Edina lost its starting quarterback, junior Mark Handberg, in the first half, but senior Diondre Green, normally a defensive back, was ready to jump in. Green threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to junior Marley Allison and later hit junior Graham Woodward for a 24-yard touch-

down. Handberg scored on an 11-yard run before leaving the game. Francisco Hardacker scored on 60- and 42-yard runs and rushed for 140 yards total. Senior John Bryan and sophomore Jack Rickert scored on 4-yard runs. Boltmann was pleased, but not surprised, by Green’s success at quarterback. “Diondre takes reps on offense all the time in practice,” he said. “Because he’s a threat as a runner, he gives us a different dimension. He played a solid, confident game and we didn’t turn the ball over.” The quarterbacks, halfbacks and receivers benefited from a good effort by the offensive line, Boltmann added. “Our line pretty much controlled the game,” he commented. “Defensively, we only allowed one long run.” Edina was playing Hopkins (3-5) in a Class 5A, Section 6 quarterfinal game Oct. 25 as this edition went to press. Edina is the No. 4 seed in the section and Hopkins is No. 5. The winner of the Oct. 25 game will play No. 1 seed Eden Prairie in the section semifinals at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, at Eden Prairie’s Aerie Stadium.

Paige Haller The Edina High senior won the 200yard individual medley during the state True Team swimming and diving meet Oct. 19 at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. Her time was 2 minutes, 9.42 seconds.

Francisco Hardacker Edina High’s senior halfback rushed for 140 yards Oct. 19 to lead the Hornets to a 46-14 non-conference football victory over North St. Paul. Hardacker had touchdown runs of 60 and 42 yards.

Nikki Larson Larson, a senior at Edina High, was first in two events during the state True Team swimming and diving meet Oct. 19 at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. She won the 50-yard freestyle in 23.60 seconds and the 100 freestyle in 51.19.

Caroline Ward The Edina High singles player has qualified for the state Class AA individual girls tennis tournament. Sixteen section champions and runners-up will compete for the title Thursday, Oct. 27, and Friday, Oct. 28, at the University of Minnesota’s Baseline Tennis Center.

Two minutes separate Edina girls soccer team from the title Blaze storms back to claim section crown BY JOHN SHERMAN – SUN NEWSPAPERS

Head coach Simon Whitehead of the Edina High girls soccer team has won at least 10 games each of the last 13 seasons. The Hornets finished 10-4-5 this year. (Photo by John Sherman • Sun Newspapers)

Edina High girls soccer coach Simon Whitehead had everything going his way 77 1/2 minutes into the Section 2AA title match with Burnsville Oct. 18. Then visions of victory faded to black. Burnsville’s Kendra Drew scored a goal and Alyssa Blahnik added another in overtime to eliminate Edina, 2-1. “On the goal in regulation, we did a horrible job of clearing a ball,” said Whitehead. “And Burnsville capitalized on our mistake. Before that, they never had a good chance.” On the overtime goal, Blahnik took a cross and pounded a one-touch shot into the net. “Everything was going according to plan,” said Whitehead of the first 77 1/2 minutes. “It was a competitive game, but I didn’t think we were ever in trouble.” Edina took the lead on a goal by Vivian Engen, who converted a cross from Brittany Bingham.

“We were in kind of a defensive mode after that,” said Whitehead. “Our back line did a good job,” he added, mentioning defenders, Sydney Born, Anne Dovolis, Cara Sierks, Elena Tsakakis and Ellie Wolinski. “We were without Elena for the last 20 minutes after she hurt her ankle,” said Whitehead. Edina midfielder Mary Stafford played sparingly in the first half for the Hornets and then missed the second half with her own ankle injury. Even with those injuries, Edina was in position to win the match. “We had a couple of good chances in the first overtime period,” said Whitehead. “Throughout the game, I thought our midfield did a good job with Hailey Merrill and Morgan Faulkner winning a lot of 50-50 balls.” Although Edina fell short of state, it was a rewarding season, one of many for Whitehead, who has coached seven of his teams to the state tournament. “This is the 13th year in a row that we have won at least 10 games,” said Whitehead. “That consistency is something we can be proud of.” The Hornets finished 10-4-5 overall.

Hornets take second in True Team swimming Stillwater’s depth overcomes Edina BY JOHN SHERMAN – SUN NEWSPAPERS Although the Edina High girls swimming and diving team took half of the first places at the state Class AA True Team meet Oct. 19, Stillwater swam away with the team title. It was a close contest, with the Ponies scoring 2,254.5 points to 2,167.5 for the Hornets. Wayzata was third with 2,064 points in the 12-team event. Other team scores were: Minnetonka 1,857, Maple Grove 1,456.5, Prior Lake 1,353.5, Centennial 1,310, Mounds View 1,231.5, Rosemount 1,201, Eastview 1,132, Rochester John Marshall 1,057.5 and Forest Lake 528. Individuals from Edina were dominant in their events. Senior Nikki Larson won the 50- and 100yard freestyles, finishing in 23.60 seconds in the 50 and 51.19 in the 100. Another double winner for the Hornets was junior Madeleine Eden. She took first

in the 100 butterfly in 57.75 seconds and added a win with a time of 5 minutes, 0.24 seconds in the 500 freestyle. Hornet senior Paige Haller won the 200 individual medley in 2:09.42. Edina ninth-grader Olivia Anderson came through with another win, taking the 100 breaststroke in 1:05.09. Junior Heather Laedtke was close behind in third place in 1:06.77. Haller was second in the 100 butterfly. Laedtke added a fourth place in the 200 individual medley. Edina diver Yasmeen Almog placed fourth. Edina didn’t fare quite as well as expected in relay competition. The Hornets’ highest relay finish was a third place in the 200 freestyle. Emma Wittmer, Kate Moreton, Angela Rothmeier and Larson finished in 1:41.51. The Hornets took fourth place in the 400 freestyle relay with Haller, Erica Evans, Eden and Moreton. Their time was 3:40.92. In the 200 medley relay, Edina took fifth place with the team of Adair Fogelberg, Olivia Anderson, Evans and Rothmeier. Their time was 1:53.57.

Misfortune blemishes Edina High School boys soccer year BY JOHN SHERMAN – SUN NEWSPAPERS

As coach Dave Jenson reflected on the 2011 Edina High boys soccer season earlier this week, he wondered what might have been. Injuries took the sting out of the Hornets’ attack. They lost midfield wizard Evan Panken with a broken foot. Then leading scorer Jens Undlin hurt his knee. Joe Budenske suffered a stress fracture, and the toll continued to mount when a hip pointer downed Austin Wothe. Sam Hechter came down with a spinal infection. Michael Murney was hurt, and in the last game of the season, a 3-0 Section 2AA playoff loss to Eden Prairie, John Lagorio injured his knee. “We were deeper than in the past, but we were riddled with injuries,” said Jenson. “It seemed like we were putting Band Aids on top of Band Aids. We kept 14 seniors this year. Not all of them were starters, but we asked a lot of them, and they all played. We hung in there, even with all of the injuries.”

At the end of the season, Edina had one of the best records in the state (13-4-1) and finished second to Wayzata in the Lake Conference standings at 5-3. Edina had only one loss at the time of Panken’s injury. The senior was the player who provided the transitions from defense to offense and offense to defense. “We were a good team without Evan and a very, very good team with him,” said Jenson. “To his credit, he made everyone around him better.” Panken will play at the University of Notre Dame next season while Undlin will also play Division I at Loyola of Chicago. “The hardest thing for me was seeing the season end,” said Jenson. “You spend 70 days with the kids, and then all of a sudden it’s over. After we lost in the playoffs, all the kids got in big circle and yelled, ‘1-2-3, Edina.’ It was a tight group.” Looking to next season, the Hornets will rebuild around five key returnees – defenders Nick Stastny and Alex Van Gorp, midfielders Arin Arpinar and David Smith, and forward Fahad Maow.

Three Hornets advance in tennis Ward, doubles team to compete for state titles BY JOHN SHERMAN – SUN NEWSPAPERS There is only one kind of high school tennis match Edina High girls coach Steve Paulsen would prefer not to see. That is a match in which two of his players are matched up with a trip to state on the line. It happened last week in Section 6AA singles at Lakeville Lifetime Fitness. Seniors Caroline Ward and Meghana Vasireddy played in a “true second” match with a state trip hanging in the balance. Ward won, 6-2, 6-4. “Both of our girls had great matches in losing to [section champion] Lucia Solis of Wayzata,” Paulsen said. Early in the tournament, Ward was dominant, winning her first two matches, 6-0, 6-0, and her third match, 6-0, 6-1. Just when it looked like she would never lose, she fell to Solis, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 in the semifinals. Then Solis beat Vasireddy 6-4, 6-2 in the finals. Because Ward and Vasireddy

had not played each other at that point, a “true second” match was necessary to determine the section’s other state singles qualifier. There wasn’t that kind of suspense in the doubles draw. Edina’s first doubles team of junior Morgan Marinovich and sophomore Maddie Boyer won the section title by defeating Wayzata’s Alissa Heiring and Caitlin Eichten in the finals, 7-6 (7-3), 60. “Morgan and Maddie came very close to qualifying for state last year,” said Paulsen. “I am very happy they did this year.” Meanwhile, Edina’s second doubles team of Kelly Reger and Meghan Herring took third place with a 6-2, 6-1 victory over the Benilde-St. Margaret’s sister team of Paige and Taylor McLeod. “Kelly and Meghan played well,” said Paulsen. “They lost to the Wayzata team in the semifinals in a fairly close match [6-3, 6-4].” State singles and doubles will be played starting at 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27, at the University of Minnesota’s Baseline Tennis Center. The tournaments conclude Friday, Oct. 28.

By: Ali Holman, co-owner of www.coreconditioningtraining.com I think we can all agree that eating is fun. Not only is it a way for us to socialize, reward ourselves and comfort ourselves, it also is the one area of fitness where people have the most trouble. Wouldn’t it be great to know that the choices you make are actually helping your fitness program? More importantly, wouldn’t it be even better to banish the word “diet” from your vocabulary? Chances are, if you are embarking on a “diet”, it will have a beginning and an end. The end is usually followed by slowly going back to old habits and ends you right back where you started. With our clients, we really encourage them to focus on a Lifestyle Change with room for “cheat meals” and realistic goals; which inevitably lead to lifelong results and without the emotional roller coaster of a diet.

Core/Conditioning Training’s List of “Fat Burning Foods”

eggs

low-fat dairy

Eggs are high in protein and low in calories. You may have heard all the warnings about eggs and your health: opt for eggwhites for the low-cholesterol, fatburning effect. Eggs also contain the vitamin B-12, a great supplement for breaking down fat cells.

Studies show that women who eat low-fat dairy products (such as non-fat yogurt and low-fat milk) three to four times a day lost 70 percent more fat than low-dairy dieters.

beans

oatmeal

Beans are one of the best sources of protein, fiber and iron. Some of the best beans to ear are: • Navy Beans • White Beans • Kidney Beans • Lima Beans

Oatmeal is loaded with soluble fiber, which helps reduce blood cholesterol by flushing those bad digestive acids out of your system. Skip the flavored oatmeals - you lose out on all the health benefits. If you must sweeten your oatmeal, do so by adding fruit.

olive oil

lean meats

Certain fats are good for you, and your body needs them. Olive oil is one of those “good fats.” It helps you burn fat and keeps your cholesterol down. One ounce of extra virgin olive oil contains about 85% of the daily value for monosaturated fat.

Search for lean meats - chicken (baked, broiled, grilled), fish and turkey - which are all high in protein. It is a good rule of thumb to consume at least one half-gram protein per pound of body weight each day. A chicken breast gets you well on your way, with about 22 grams of protein.

whole grains

interval training

Our body needs carbohydrates, despite what the fad diets tell you. Avoid processed carbohydrates such as white breads, bagles, pastas and white rice and look for whole grains that have not been processed and contain the fiber and minerals your body needs.

Interval training is defined as short, repeated bouts of intense exercise with minimal rest. You can burn major calories and get an all-over workout in less than 30 minutes. When you see people who are “cut,” chances ar they are partaking in interval training.
