Making lemonade Edina High School senior, cancer survivor Molly Hollway runs annual lemonade stand to benefit cancer research

BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS Molly Hollway is lucky.

Diagnosed with a rare and deadly cancer as an infant, she was given lemons.

Now a senior at Edina High School, she’s been healthy long enough to make lemonade – and lots of it.

Over the last seven years she has raised close to $50,000 for childhood cancer research at her annual lemonade stand.

This year, she is hoping to add another $20,000 to the total.

Hollway, her family and friends run Alex’s Lemonade Stand at the Mall of America in Bloomington each June.

The event, this year Sunday, June 12, is part of a nationwide effort started by Alexandra Scott of Pennsylvania. In 2000, she held the first lemonade stand at age 4 in her front yard to help find a cure for childhood cancer. Neuroblastoma took her life four years later.

Volunteers have continued her legacy by selling lemonade to benefit a foundation in her name. Each year, Lemonade Days raises over $1 million, and to date the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation has contributed more than $40 million toward research projects.

The fundraiser is Sunday, June 12, at the Mall of America in Bloomington. At right, Molly Hollway, 18, of Edina was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at 13 months.

graders went beyond the textbook this spring.

After learning about the impact humans have on the ecosystem, they decided to do something about it.

All 340 students participated in a service-learning project that culminated Tuesday, May 24, with an action day on campus. Students planted native grasses, picked up litter and painted a mural aimed at keeping the creek that runs behind their school healthy.

Science teacher Tim Ronhovde, who led the project with fellow teacher Michelle Stein, said students were asked to identify an human-related environmental issue after a walk around the school in February. They noted visible problems like trash-clogged storm drains and salt residue.

“They wanted to see what they could to keep that junk from running into Nine Mile Creek,” Ronhovde said.

Service FROM PREVIOUS PAGE with St. Paul-based nonprofit Eco Education and its Urban Stewards program, which helps students make connections between what they learn in the classroom and the real world.

“We want the youth to feel connected.

They don’t need to go to the woods to do that. They can do that right here,” said Randee Edmundson, Eco Education program development manager.

Working with local partners like the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District, students learned about the creek and its inhabitants.

“We know more about it so we want to help more,” said student Katie Malcom.

Seventh-grader Tommy Kay said he was surprised to learn how much salt and grass clippings can harm the environment.

Nine Mile Creek is on the state’s list of impaired waters for chlorides, or salt, and the amount in the water will have to be cut by about 60 percent in coming years to meet federal and state water quality standards.

While that salt is dangerous for wildlife in the water, students also learned that it important to keep sidewalks on campus free of ice and safe.

They discussed how to balance those and other needs.

Students also learned about harmful bacteria in dog feces that enter the creek if not picked up by the many people who walk their dogs on the Valley View and neighboring Edina High School grounds.

Stein said students came up with 24 projects to address the issues.

“Some of them are pretty creative,” a big difference from work she’s seen in the past when the lesson is not tied to service learning.

Before this first-time project, Stein and Ronhovde had students make a

video or children’s book about human impact on the earth. Nearly all had a canned message about recycling – what the students thought the teachers wanted to hear, she said.

Ronhovde said he worked in the lunchroom and would see those same students that promoted recycling throw their recyclables in the trash after eating.

“We needed a personal connection in some way,” Ronhovde said. “Until now it’s this idea, but when they come outside and do it, it becomes very tangible.”

Seventh-grader Bjorn Anderson said classmates pondered putting chicken wire in storm drains to keep litter and leaves out of the creek and also wanted to build a rooftop garden.

“We thought really, really big at first,” said Bjorn.

After narrowing their focus, students had to pitch their proposals to a grant panel. The selected projects received $3,000 from Eco Education, which is led by 1984 Edina graduate Lea Favor.

Bjorn, Tommy and Ben Vanhove ended up planning a rain garden for their project. On Tuesday, they filled it with native plants. They said the plants have much longer roots than grass and can hold more water. That helps keep storm water runoff, and the contaminants it might carry, from entering the creek. Working with a landscape architect, they said it was easy seeing where the garden was most needed.

“Most of the day we were working [on the plans] it was raining so we knew where the water would go,” said Ben. Other students picked up trash around the school, created a mural depicting the Nine Mile Creek Watershed, visited sixth-grade classrooms to teach watershed stewardship, posted signs reminding pet owners to clean up after their animals, set up rain barrels and more.

Several student groups also carried out their projects in advance of the SERVICE: TO PAGE 7

Edina choir gives back with ‘rock and roll’ Concert choir collecting VEAP donations during Current Jam concerts June 1-4

BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS Edina High School Concert Choir students want help from the audience decorating their Current Jam set.

The theme of the 37th annual event is “We Built This City on Rock and Roll.”

Concertgoers are being asked to bring food and monetary donations to benefit a local food shelf to shows Wednesday, June 1, to Saturday, June 4.

The cans and boxes will be used to construct a city on stage, providing “a visual representation of what the community can do when we come together,” said junior Libby Shirley, who is coordinating the food drive with senior Jordan Pastor.

Libby, who spends a week each summer leading vacation Bible study at a trailer park less than an hour away from Edina, said the need just outside the city’s borders is great.

“We know we are very blessed and fortunate and want to help those that don’t have the same situation,” she said.

Food donations will go to Volunteers Enlisted to Assist People, a nonprofit that serves low-income residents in Edina, Bloomington, Richfield and south Minneapolis.

Students will collect donations for VEAP at the concerts June 1-4. (Photo by Katie Mintz • Sun Newspapers) VEAP typically sees a reduction in donations over summer months. At the same time, children who normally receive free or reduced price lunches at school are without that resource.

“Most of our students understand the impact that we can potentially have,” said Choir Director David Henderson.

Going forward, the food drive will be a permanent part of Current Jam. In its first year last year, approximately 900 pounds of food and $800 were donated to VEAP. “It’s a simple thing and it meets a big

need,” he said. “When I delivered the stuff last year, they were just amazed.”

Libby said she and her peers like

being able to use their voices to make a difference. Students begin working on Current Jam in January, providing input on everything from song selection to costumes and choreography.

“We know music can be a way to help people through all difficult situations,” she said.

The concert will feature large allchoir pop numbers including “We Built This City,” “Boogie Wonderland,” and “You Can’t Stop the Beat” from “Hairspray,” as well as standards “Times of Our Lives” and “Everyday.” There will also be several solo and small group acts performing songs from artists ranging from Paul Simon to Mumford & Sons. Band and orchestra students will back the 97 concert choir members.

Performances are 7:30 p.m.

Wednesday, June 1, through Saturday, June 4, with a 2 p.m. matinee Saturday, June 4. Tickets for evening performances are $14 for reserved seats and $8 for general admission. Tickets for the matinee performance are $6. Tickets will be sold one hour prior to each concert outside Fick Auditorium.

Summer time and the library’s open Memorial Day is past and that means it’s summer in Minnesota, despite the weather.

Summer brings back good memories for most of us.

Camps. Swimming. Reclining on the grass and reading.

It also meant no school.

Forty years ago, there was a reason for that. Many students lived on farms and were needed at home to help with the work.

Today, no one lives on a farm but we still take the summer off from education. Don’t get me started.

Fortunately for children who live in Hennepin County the summer doesn’t have to be a total brain drain.

The library system is one of the best in the country, and it really shines during the summer months. If you don’t believe me, check out the summer schedules.

I grew up loving and appreciating libraries. The library in my hometown was so small

PAUL WAHL Sun Newspapers Senior Managing Editor

both books were colored in.

(Insert rim shot sound effects here.)

Actually, it was a set of shelves inside the county superintendent of schools office. It couldn’t possibly have been more than 100 books, most of them grossly outdated, but it was all we had. And we were thankful. What’s more, the courthouse’s marble floors were always cool even on the hottest days.

Libraries meant books back then and books only. Al Gore was still inventing the Internet.

There were a handful of newspapers and magazines in my high school library, but not many.

Today when I walk into one of the Hennepin County libraries, I am in awe.

Computers are everywhere.

CDs abound. Comfy spots to sit and read are numerous. The libraries are open convenient hours.

Do children appreciate what a smorgasbord of learning and entertainment is set before them?

Probably not. But they should.

As long as education is going to cling to the antiquated idea that students are needed as farm hands and recess schools each summer, it’s at least comforting to have a place where a continuous flow of learning exists.

Now the key is getting parents to take advantage of this huge asset.

The attraction the past couple summers has been that most of what the library offers is free. With household budgets

being scrutinized everywhere as the economy continues to lag, the libraries have become a welcomed partner.

No matter what you’re looking for, you’ll probably find it at the library. And if you want to take some books home at a great price, remember the summer Friends of the Library book sales.

They kick off June 4 with a sale at the Brooklyn Park Library and continue with sales at the Rockford Road Library in Crystal June 11-12, Ridgedale June 18 and Plymouth July 16.

Although my wife and I have taken a blood oath not to bring one more book into our house, we usually find at least two or three irresistible volumes at these sales.

If your children don’t already have library cards, pack them up and head them down to your local branch and get them started. You will never regret exposing them to libraries.

provides a needed break to help students re-engage mentally.

The district can expose students to cultures and languages without additional funds by including information in social studies or language arts classes and offering extracurricular activities.

The district could even make money from extracurricular fees.

School budgets are tight, and it’s imperative that the programs we keep are important to a student’s education.

Elementary Spanish is a niceto-have, not a need-to-have.

Leah Stewart Edina Leah is an eighth-grader at

Valley View Middle School.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Spanish cut best choice To the editor: There is a harsh reality facing Edina Public Schools: budget cuts.

Edina is one of many districts being forced to make painful decisions.

Edina expects a $9 million budget shortfall by 2014 due to state funding. District stakeholders have discussed the very delicate issue of which programs to cut. The obvious choice is elementary Spanish.

Proficiency in a language depends on exposure.

Elementary students receive Spanish lessons twice a week

for 20 minutes. This is not enough time for students to absorb what they are taught.

Without sustained use of the language, retention is likely to be poor. The value of the Spanish program is far less than its actual cost.

The same is not true for other programs considered for elimination. Music, physical education, art, band and orchestra are essential to a well-rounded education.

Exposure to music and art is essential at the elementary level because some kids will opt out of them as early as middle school. Physical education is important for general health, particularly in this age of childhood obesity, and

Efforts misguided To the editor: I sent this missive to Sen. Geoff Michel, Rep. Keith Downey and Gov. Mark Dayton on April 27 but have so far received no replies.

Letters FROM PREVIOUS PAGE activity than gay bashing.

2. Assuming that the state’s several Indian casinos substantially satisfy Minnesotans’ gambling desires, let’s keep it that way. More gambling venues will only reduce traffic at existing casinos, severely impacting local jobs and revenues. Moreover, the whole effort to expand gambling to off-reservation sites smacks of anti-Indian racism. It’s time to finally end the Native American holocaust that began in 1492.

For the record, I am neither gay nor Indian.

Say no to chemicals To the editor: Strolling into Bredesen Park last week, I had hoped to breathe fresh air and rejoice with the frogs that spring is here. But their joy seemed subdued this year. Some streets were blockad-

ed, probably due to the spraying that was done to decimate gypsy moths.

Most disturbing of all was the night air. It reeked of caustic chemicals forcing me to leave.

What a trade-off, I reflected, to kill gypsy moths while ignoring the effects these chemicals have on people, pets, wildlife, air quality and groundwater.

Chemical sensitivities, asthma and autism are soaring in children, as is cancer in people of all ages. A notice in the Star Tribune warned people to keep pets indoors during this aerial assault, because they might be frightened by the loud noises of dive-bombing aircraft.

But nothing was said about the harm to pets and people that these chemicals perpetrate. Despite manufacturers’ claims that they are nontoxic, they contain hormone-disrupting, cancer-causing toxins that no living thing should breathe.

I believe that spring should be filled with the resurgence of life and new beginnings, untarnished by chemicals. If you agree, we must demand that our city council summon the courage to say no to toxic chemicals and say yes to life – all forms of life.

Julie Rogers Bascom, service-learning coordinator for Edina Public Schools, said by engaging students, they take away much more than scientific knowledge.

“They are learning that they have a voice – that what they think matters and their actions can make a difference,” she said.

Riding a cupcake wave: Small treat means big business

BY PAUL WAHL • SUN NEWSPAPERS Once a favorite treat for tots, cupcakes have been re-discovered by grownups.

From coast to coast, millions of consumers are peeling away paper liners and chowing down on dozens of flavors of the rich and tasty treat. Wedding cakes have been replaced by cupcake trees. The debate over whether they’re a fad or here to stay rages.

Several area businesses have jumped on the bandwagon and plan to ride the cupcake wave as far as it will take them. “When we first heard about it, we thought it might be a fad and maybe had already passed us up,� said Tom Van Beusekom, president of Crown Plastics in Plymouth.

His company is manufacturing and marketing a line of cupcake trees being sold online. The idea for the product was hatched when a bride asked Van Beusekom to create a suitable display device for wedding cupcakes. Crown Plastics had been building and selling high-end coffee bean dispensers. That aspect of the business has cooled a bit. “I think there are as many coffee shops as there are going to be,� said Van

Beusekom, who is a native of Loretto and a former mayor. “It was nice to have something come along to replace some of that business.�

The trees are available online through crystalpalacecupcaketree.com.

Orders have been shipped to dozens of countries, including Australia and Norway.

One of Crown’s loyal customers in the west metro is Robin Johnson, who opened Sweet Retreat Cupcake Boutique in the trendy 50th and France area of Edina a year ago. Cupcakes, and more recently cupcake pops, are created and sold to customers at the bakery as well as through a growing catering market. “It’s creating a small bit of luxury everyone can afford and it makes everyone happy,� said Johnson, who hatched the idea during what she calls a midlife crisis.

Her first exposure to the cupcake craze came while visiting San Francisco. She made subsequent trips to Nashville and Chicago to gather input. She traveled to Sprinkles, the California-based chain of cupcake stores in Los Angeles. “The lines were out the door,� she said.

Taking her degree in food science from University of Wisconsin–Madison, Johnson began developing recipes, includ-

ing her signature butter crème frosting.

Combinations and flavors vary with the season, but her red velvet and salted caramel varieties are consistent best sellers. She uses Van Beusekom’s trees in her store and on the catering side of the business.

The trees come in a variety of sizes, ranging from three-tier to six-tier with an optional Lazy Susan base. Trees come in acrylic and a less expensive Celtec plastic.

Acrylic varieties are clear plastic and the Celtec versions are a white plastic, Van Beusekom explained. “You can display cupcakes with the acrylic trees and not take away from the cupcakes,� Van Beusekom said.

He is turning his design skills next to cake pops.

Johnson makes them by blending smashed cupcakes and crème cheese frosting, shaping the mixture into a ball and freezing them, then dipping them in white chocolate. Think cupcake on a stick. The stick is where Crown Plastics comes in, but that’s about all Van Beusekom is saying for now.

The cupcake trend is believed to have originated more than a decade ago when the characters in “Sex and the City�

began eating them at New York’s Magnolia Bakery. Cupcakes eventually made it onto the Oprah Winfrey Show, and foodies of all types fueled the fire.

Cupcakes were on the menu when Reino Wuollet opened his first bakery in 1944, but sales and popularity over the past year have skyrocketed, according to Aaron Wuollet, manager of the company. “They’re easy to serve and a lot of fun,� said Wuollet, whose company operates stores in Edina, Robbinsdale and Wayzata, in addition to Minneapolis and St. Paul.

To emphasize the fun, Wuollets plays with cake flavors and icings. About 45 combinations are available. Wuollets has also noticed the growing link between cupcake and nuptials. “They’re so much easier to serve at a wedding,� Wuollet said.

Everyone with a finger in the cupcake business is trusting they will continue to be popular with consumers. “I’d hate to think they’re the next Krispie Kremes,� Johnson said.

Van Beusekom admitted he wasn’t personally a big fan of cupcakes. “Most of them have too dang much frosting,� he said.

Moving night Above, Connie and Jeff Miller, left to right, hug as they say goodbye to their Edina house of nearly 20 years early Thursday morning, May 26. They were joined by College City Design Build Owner Dave Pavek, who will build their new home at 4509 Garrison Lane, and about 20 neighbors. Rather than sleeping, about 20 of Connie and Jeff Miller’s neighbors gathered to watch as their house at 4509 Garrison Lane, Edina, was hauled away in the early morning hours of Thursday, May 26, by Swift House movers. The Millers, who are building a new house with College City Design Build, decided to move the 1959 rambler to reduce the amount of building material in the landfill and provide an affordable housing option for its next owner. On the way to its final destination in Big Lake, Minn.

– about a 70-mile trip to avoid highways and interstates – the house went up Wooddale Avenue, then east on 50th Street past Edina City Hall, before winding through Eden Prairie onto County Road 61, all with a police escort. The Millers’ project was delayed about a year by a Minnesota Supreme Court decision that nearly banned the use of variances. The legislature has since remedied the situation and the Millers received a special conditional use permit from the city to let their project move forward. (Submitted photo)

Countryside says goodbye to eight friends Principal, teachers and other retiring staff members served more than 200 years

BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS Next fall, some very familiar faces will be missing at Countryside Elementary School in Edina.

Eight longtime staff members are retiring this year, taking with them more than 200 years of service.

Principal Julie Hatzung, with 10 years at Countryside, is the most junior employee retiring.

The average number of years between Continuous Progress teacher Jeanne Sumnicht, first-grade teacher Katie McCullough, second-grade teacher Gail Schmidt, school psychologists Hannah King and Kandace Ellis, Kids Club site manager Dede Skold and principal’s secretary Sharon Forkins is close to 24.

Hatzung said her staff is dedicated to

Countryside’s 590 students and their learning above anything else. She said that focus would stay even after they are gone.

“If it’s best for kids we’re going to do it and work harder at it than anybody else,” she said. “That’s what makes this building what it is because that’s what people talk about.”

For many of the retirees, education has always been a calling.

“I started teaching [my dolls] on the porch when I was 5,” said Sumnicht, who has taught at Countryside for 23 years, and now teaches grades 3 and 4 in Continuous Progress. “I was always going to be a teacher.”

McCullough, a full-time teacher at Countryside for the last 21 years and substitute for 10 years before that, said teaching has been a rewarding experience.

“You feel like you’ve made a difference through your relationships with the kids, and families, and the community,” she said. “It’s satisfying to know at the end of the day you made a difference.”

Despite having two separate programs – a neighborhood school and Continuous Progress – in the building for the last 30

years, staff has learned to collaborate and share resources to best serve children.

Hatzung said that wouldn’t be possible without the behind-the-scenes work of Forkins, who she calls the “Queen of Countryside,” and school psychologists Ellis and King.

“Without her and other support staff here to do all of the jobs they do, we wouldn’t be as successful in all the jobs we do with children,” she said.

Forkins came to Countryside at a time of turmoil in 1983 – the same year Highlands Elementary was closed and merged and with Countryside. She previously was a parent and volunteer at Concord Elementary.

“There was a lot of change and adjustment,” said Forkins, who’s been at Countryside for 28 years.

And changes have continued over the decades, the women said.

Technology has gone “from nothing to everything,” said King, who’s worked in every Edina school since coming to the district 32 years ago from the private sector.

“When I left college I had to take a class to run a movie projector,” Hatzung

recalled. “There isn’t a movie projector in this district.”

Parents are more involved both volunteering in the classroom and looking at their child’s assessment data.

“You’re very accountable,” said Schmidt, a teacher at Countryside for 22 years.

The pace of learning is also faster.

“Kindergarten now is what second grade was in 1970,” said Sumnicht.

Students have longer days – and more opportunities – with an abundance of before and after school activity programs.

“It’s not just reading, writing and math anymore,” said King. “We meet so many needs.”

While times have changed, one thing has stayed the same.

“Everybody [retiring] knows about children,” said Hatzung. “We understand teaching and learning – that core piece and what’s important.”

Ellis, who also worked at Concord and Cornelia elementary schools and South View Middle School in the last 17 years, COUNTRYSIDE: TO PAGE 17

Her mom Mary Hollway said it was really scary for the family, which includes dad Bill and big brothers Billy, 23, and Mike, 21. Prior to the internet, there were few ways to reach other families in the same situation.

According to the Children’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation, of approximately 13,000 new cases of childhood cancer in the country each year, only about 700 are neuroblastoma.

“We couldn’t connect with anybody,” said Mary Hollway. “I vowed if Molly survived I would be the person I was looking for when Molly was going through it.”

Molly Hollway has been cancer-free for 17 years with no lasting side effects

summer with the first local stand at the Mall of America recognizing the wish of another Minnesota family whose son was taken by the cancer. Through that and other efforts, including a holiday fundraiser allowing people to purchase virtual Christmas ornaments for an online tree, she’s now raised about $50,000.

She’s had some help.

“I love fundraising, but the coolest thing is when my friends want to do it,” said Molly Hollway.

At AirBroom Minnesota In Excelsior Can Help How does your chimney look? Are the bricks crumbling?

Does it have White or Black exterior staining? Are you afraid to use your fireplace because you’re not sure how safe it is? When was the last time you used it?

The professionals at AirBroom Minnesota Fireplace and Air Duct Cleaning in Excelsior can restore both your confidence and your chimney. Did you know that water causes more damage to masonry chimneys than fire? Your chimney, unlike other parts of your house, is constantly exposed to the elements. They are generally constructed of brick, mortar, tile, steel, and iron. All of these materials suffer deterioration as a result of prolonged contact with water.

Freeze and thaw cycles so familiar here in the Twin Cities cause stress on the chimney. Water that has penetrated expands and contracts. Left unchecked it will cause interior and exterior damage to your home and masonry chimney.

Some of the damage that can be caused includes: 1) spalled and broken exterior brickwork, 2) deteriorated masonry and metal firebox assemblies, 3) rusted dampers, 4) decayed mortar, cracked or missing flue liners, and in the worst case scenario damage to adjoining walls, ceilings, and woodwork.

There are three main ways to prevent water damage.

1) Install a chimney cap. This is the most inexpensive measure to prevent water penetration to the flue and inside chimney elements. We sell and install locally manufactured caps for as little as $99.

Present this coupon after estimate

Ed Crandall and Dennis Imbody 612-607-0057 www.PROTECTPAINTERS.com

2) Repair or replace a damaged chimney crown.

The crown sits atop your chimney and covers and seals it from the flue liners to the chimney edge. Many chimneys are built with an inadequate crown constructed from common mortar mix. Mortar is not designed for and will not withstand years of prolonged moisture exposure without cracking and chipping which allows water to penetrate the chimney. A proper crown is constructed of a Portland

cement mixture and formed to provide an overhang drip edge. This assures the water will shed helping to prevent erosion in the mortar and brick of the chimneys surfaces.

Keeping the crown “watertight” and shedding away from the sponge like masonry elements that the chimney is built of is the most important element to preventing deterioration.

At AirBroom Minnesota we use the industry leading line of Saver products to build and repair chimneys. Use of these products allows us to pass on manufacturers material warranties of up to 15 years to our clients.

3) Waterproof your masonry chimney and crown.

Most masonry is porous and will absorb large amounts of water. Brick acts like a sponge absorbing water and wicking it to the chimney interior. Products we use are specifically developed for use as waterproofing agents on masonry chimneys. These are vapor permeable – which means they allow the masonry to breath out but not in. This allows water that has penetrated the chimney to escape while preventing additional water from entering from the outside.

Non vapor permeable sealers commonly available should never be used because they trap moisture inside actually accelerating deterioration. We use a special permeable sealer with a 10 year consumer warranty to protect your chimney. Doing this before deterioration occurs can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in future repairs.

Water damage to chimneys is usually a slow subtle process.

The problem is generally not obvious until it has become quite serious. Although these prevention measures may cost you a few dollars they can save you a lot more by preventing large future masonry repairs. The Hartmann’s at AirBroom Minnesota in Excelsior offer free no obligation repair estimates in the Western Metro area. Call John, Jim, or Lynda today to arrange a free no obligation estimate.

City of Edina (Official Publication) ORDINANCE NO. 2011-06 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE EDINA CITY CODE CONCERNING THE CITY’S ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS The City Of Edina Ordains: Section 1. Subsection 850.04. Subd. 2 is amended to read: Subd. 2

Variances and Appeals.

A. Zoning Board of Appeals. The Planning Commission shall serve as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments created pursuant to M.S. 462.354, Subd. 2.

B. Powers and Duties of Board. The Board shall have the power and duty of hearing and deciding, subject to appeal to the Council, the following matters: 1. Requests for variances from the literal provisions of this Section; 2. Appeals in which it is alleged that there is an error in any order, requirement, decision or determination made by an administrative officer in the interpretation or enforcement of this Section; 3. Requests for variances from the literal provisions of Section 1046 of this Code; 4. Requests for modifications from the requirements of Section 815 of this Code; and 5. If a variance request is part of another land use application, including but not limited to a conditional use permit, rezoning, and preliminary or final site plan, the decision by the Zoning Board of Appeals is automatically appealed to the City Council. The City Council would then take official action on the applications including the variance. If a variance request is made along with a certificate of appropriateness for the Heritage Preservation Board, the Zoning Board of Appeals decision is not automatically appealed. Final decision of the Board of Appeals would stand unless appealed by the applicant or another impacted individual.

C. Petitions for Variances. The owner or owners of land to which the variance relates may file a petition for a variance with the Planning Department. The petition shall be made on forms provided by the Planning Department and shall be accompanied by the fee set forth in Section 185 of this Code. The petition shall be accompanied by plans and drawings to scale which clearly illustrate, to the satisfaction of the Planner, the improvements to be made if the variance is granted. The Planner may require the petitioner to submit a certificate by a registered professional land surveyor verifying the location of all buildings, setbacks and building coverage, and certifying other facts that in the opinion of the Planner are necessary for evaluation of the petition.

D. Appeals of Administrative Decisions.

A person who deems himself or herself aggrieved by an alleged error in any order, requirement, decision or determination made by an administrative officer in the interpretation and enforcement of this Section, may appeal to the Board by filing a written appeal with the Planning Department within thirty (30) days after the date of such order, requirement, decision or determination. The appeal shall fully state the order to be appealed and the relevant facts of the matter.

E. Hearing and Decision by the Board; Notice.

1. Notice of variance hearings shall be mailed not less than ten (10) days before the date of the hearing to the person who

filed the petition for variance and to each owner of property situated wholly or partially within two hundred (200) feet of the property to which the variance relates insofar as the names and addresses of such owners can be reasonably determined by the Clerk from records maintained by the Assessor.

2. A notice of hearing for appeals of administrative decisions shall be published in the official newspaper of the City not less than ten (10) days before the hearing. A notice shall also be mailed to the appellant.

3. No new notice need be given for any hearing which is continued by the Board to a specified future date.

F. Findings for Variances. The Board shall not grant a petition for a variance unless it finds that the strict enforcement of this Section would cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the petitioner’s property and that the grant of said variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of this Section.

“Undue hardship” means that (i) the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use as allowed by this Section; (ii) the plight of the petitioner is due to circumstances unique to the petitioner’s property which were not created by the petitioner; and (iii) the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the property or its surroundings.

Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use for the petitioner’s property exists under the terms of this Section. A favorable vote by the Board shall be deemed to include a favorable finding on each of the foregoing matters even if not specifically set out in the approval resolution or the minutes of the Board meeting.

G. Appeals from Decisions of the Board.

1. The following individuals may appeal a decision of the Board:

variance petition or appeal of administrative decision. If a variance is granted, the petitioner, at the petitioner’s expense, shall duly record the final order in the proper office to give constructive notice. A verified copy of such order, with the recording data, shall be delivered to the Planner. The Board, or the Council on appeal, may require such order to be recorded and such verified copy to be delivered to the Planner before the variance shall be effective.

K. Lapse of Variance by Non-User; Extension of Time.

1. If, within one (1) year after the date of the meeting of the Board, or the Council on appeal, at which the variance was granted, the owner or occupant of the affected land shall not have obtained a building permit, if one is required, and commenced the work or improvement described in such petition, the variance shall become null and void unless a petition for extension of time in which to commence the proposed work or improvement has been granted.

2. A petition for extension shall be in writing and filed with the Clerk within such one (1) year period. The petition for extension shall state facts showing a good faith attempt to use the variance and shall state the additional time requested to begin the proposed work or improvement. The petition shall be presented to the Board for hearing, findings and decision in the same manner as then required by this Section 850 for an original petition for variance. The Board may grant an extension of the variance for up to one (1) year upon finding that a good faith attempt to use the variance has been made, that there is a reasonable expectation that the variance will be used during the extension, that speculation will thereby not be fostered, and that the facts and circumstances under which the original variance was granted are not materially changed.

c. the appellant in the case of an appeal of an administrative decision;

L. Denial. No application for a variance which has been denied in whole or in part shall be resubmitted within twelve (12) months of the date of the order of denial, except that a new application may be permitted to the same denying board, if new evidence or a change of circumstances warrant it.

d. any person who deems to be aggrieved by the Board’s decision on the appeal of an administrative decision; and

Section 2. Section 1506 – Zoning Board of Appeals is deleted in its entirety.

any administrative officer of the City;

Section 3. This ordinance is effective immediately upon its passage and publication.

a. any petitioner for a variance; b. any owner to whom notice of the variance hearing is required to be mailed pursuant to this Section;

2. An appeal from a decision of the Board shall be filed with the Clerk no later than ten (10) days after the decision by the Board. If not so filed, the right of appeal shall be deemed waived, and the decision of the Board shall be final.

H. Hearing and Decision by Council.

The Council shall hear and decide all appeals from the decisions of the Board, and variances associated with other land use applications. The Council shall follow the same procedures as to notices, hearings, findings for variances and decisions that the Board is required to follow relative to the subject matter of the appeal pursuant to this Section. A favorable vote by the Council shall be deemed to include a favorable finding on each of the required findings even if not specifically set out in the approval resolution or the minutes of the Council meeting.

Boys contenders When you think of the Wayzata High boys track and field team, the first thing that comes to mind is the Trojans’ distance running.

They will shoot for section titles in the 4x400and 4x800-meter relays. Brian Jarvey, Adam Moline and Josh Thorson will be chasing titles in individual events.

The Trojan sprinters are making a push with Erik Roti and Ryan D’Kae leading the way.

Edina’s fortunes ride with the distance crew and sprinter Devin Crawford-Tufts, who has been rehabbing a hamstring injury the last three weeks. Pole vaulter Keagan Potts is also a top contender.

Minnetonka’s top section hopefuls are Rashad Cohen in both hurdles events, Jamie Crum in the high jump and Christian Skaret in the distance events.

Hopkins has the premier shot putter in the section, senior Marcus “Mo” Opalaeke, along with one of the top hurdlers and jumpers, senior Dami Mafe.

Section wake-up call The Section 6AA track and field finals are moving to the morning this year to accommodate graduation ceremonies at Wayzata High School.

Action will get underway at 10:30 a.m. Friday, June 3, at Hopkins High Stadium.

“It shouldn’t affect the athletes too much,” said Edina girls head coach Cole Nelson. “The state Class AA meet is also held in the morning.”

This time of year many athletes are looking for record-breaking performances.

The Hopkins High girls team won all four relay events at the Lake Conference meet and hopes to do the same at sectionals with star runners such as Elise Anderson, Taylor Anderson, Hannah Borowsky, Stephanie Rouse, Bridget Sweeney, Mary Tanoe and Mariah Witt leading the way.

Minnetonka High’s girls team is banking on distance runners Megan Bailey and Maggie Carruth.

Look for them to challenge St. Louis Park standout Mara Olson.

Wayzata’s Alyssa Stolt and Kayla Timmerman are two of the favorites in the throws.

Armstrong’s Sid’Reshia Floyd is among the state’s best in the sprints.

Edina’s top hopefuls for the section meet are Emily Guimont in the pole vault, Julia Good in the high jump, Katybeth Biewen in the long jump and high jump, Piper Bain in the 3,200, Kelly Fogelson in the shot and discus and Siena Patty in the sprints.

RECORD BREAKER Trevor Yedoni of the Benilde-St. Margaret’s High boys track and field team broke the North Suburban Conference record in the high jump last week with a leap of 6 feet, 8 inches.

The Edina High boys lacrosse standout finished regular-season play with 43 points on 23 goals and 20 assists. The Hornets posted a 6-7 record.

Hillary Crowe The Blake School girls lacrosse senior finished regular-season play with 40 goals for an undefeated team. She was named one of the finalists for the Ms. Lacrosse of Minnesota award May 25.

Trap shooters on target Thirty participate in first-year sport at EHS

BY JOHN SHERMAN • SUN NEWSPAPERS When coach Scott Danielson announced that Edina High would have a trap-shooting team this spring, he didn’t know what kind of turnout to expect.

“We put up flyers at the high school and made a few announcements,” said Danielson. “The response was fantastic, and when we hit 30 kids, we had to cut it off.”

The first-year team consists of 28 boys and two girls, each of whom had to have a firearms-safety certificate in order to participate.

Edina has competed in meets throughout the spring at the Minneapolis Gun Club in Prior Lake, and the results have been good, according to Danielson.

“Some of our top shooters are seniors David Falldin and Joey Spicola, junior Evan Pawlyk and sophomores Ryan Danielson and Colin Jones,” said coach Danielson. “It is a very challenging sport.

You shoot at clay targets. Each student has 50 shots during a competition.”

Several of Edina’s neighboring districts, including Minnetonka, have had trap-shooting teams for several years.

There are now 29 schools that offer the sport.

“Minnetonka has a very good team,” said Danielson. “Some of the other schools with good teams are Jordan, Prior Lake and Wayzata. There were only 12 schools participating last year, so we’re happy that the number has increased to 29.”

Danielson and others involved in trap shooting are hoping it will someday become an official Minnesota State High School League activity. It could depend upon how many schools add teams in the next few years.

Safety is the most important concern for coaches and students, Danielson noted.

“There is a mandatory preseason meeting with each student and their parents to review safety rules,” he said. “There is a routine of what you have to do.”

Edina’s team is looking forward to participating in the state tournament June 11-12 at the Minneapolis Gun Club.

For more information on Edina trap shooting, e-mail edinatrapteam @gmail.com.

The former Blake School baseball player has been named Pitcher of the Year in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. He led St. Olaf College’s team with a 7-1 record and a 2.50 ERA.

Paige Jones The Edina High senior led the Hornet girls lacrosse team to an 8-4 regular-season record. Jones scored 53 goals and added 23 assists. She was named one of seven finalists for the Ms. Lacrosse of Minnesota award.

Steven Kiesel The Breck School senior captain learned May 25 that he is one of seven finalists for the Mr. Lacrosse of Minnesota award. He finished regular-season play with 47 goals and 12 assists.

George Ordway The Blake School boys lacrosse standout is one of seven finalists for the 2011 Mr. Lacrosse of Minnesota award. Through 13 games, Blake was 11-2 and Ordway was the top scorer with 39 goals and 35 assists.

Ordway is an all-conference performer in three sports – lacrosse, hockey and soccer.

Dylan Rusk Rusk won medalist honors by shooting a 1-under-par 47 for 12 holes as the Edina High boys golf team lost to Wayzata 199-202 in a Lake Conference match May 26 at Minneapolis Golf Club. With the victory, Wayzata won the Lake Conference boys golf title. Edina finished third overall, based on its performance in dual matches and the conference tournament.

Hornets’ 1-2 punch

Traveling hoops camp

The Edina High boys lacrosse team was the victim of a tough schedule this spring, but the Hornets were competitive in almost every match on the way to a 6-7 regular-season record.

The 1-2 scoring punch of Derek Todd and Danny Burke was a big reason for the Hornets’ success as each finished with 43 points.

Todd led the team with 35 goals and added eighth assists. Burke had 23 goals and 20 assists.

Edina High boys basketball will have a camp for traveling team players from 9 a.m. to noon June 13-16 at the Edina Community Center’s main gym.

The camp is open to players who have played on a traveling team or boys who competed for an Edina ninth-grade school team last season.

Pat Dorsey, head coach at Edina High, is in charge of the camp. Other members of the high school coaching staff will assist him. The cost is $150 per player.

Distance bonanza

Hornet girls BB camps

There is a wealth of boys distance-running talent in Section 6AA boys track this spring, so most of the top runners will be taking aim on state-qualifying standards this week.

In distances from 800 to 3,200 meters, some of the top contenders are Steven Donahue, Mark Harries, Brian Jarvey, Adam Moline and Josh Thorson of Wayzata, Kyle Anderson and Christian Skaret of Minnetonka, Aaron Bartnik, Mohamed Mohamed and David Platner of Eden Prairie, Sam Jacobwith of Hopkins and Will Burke, Aldis Inde, Sam Leese and Bjorn Thompson of Edina.

Sprint competition at the Section 6AA meet is up in the air.

Two of the top athletes in the section, Devin Crawford-Tufts of Edina and Victor Oseko of Hopkins, have been slowed by injuries. That might leave the door open for James McFarlin and KeAndre Singleton of Minnetonka and Erik Roti and Ryan D’Kae of Wayzata.

The Edina High girls basketball coaching staff has a camp for girls in grades K-5 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. June 13-16 at South View Middle School.

Summer camp is also available to prospective traveling basketball players entering grades 5-8. Those sessions will be Tuesdays and Thursdays, June 21-July 28 at Edina High School. Players entering grades 7-8 will meet from 10:30 to 11:45 p.m. and players entering grades 5-6 will meet from noon to 1:15 p.m.

Information: edinabasketball.com or coach Matt Nilsen at 952-848-3048.

Edina volleyball camps New Edina High girls volleyball coach Steph Chapek will have basic skills camps for girls in grades 2-6 this summer.

The camps will be July 18-20 and 25-27 at Edina High School.

Sandle stands alone There is only one Lake Conference athlete who currently holds a state Class AA track and field record.

Michael Sandle of Eden Prairie triple jumped 49 feet, 5 1/2 inches to set the record last year.

He recently improved on that effort with a distance of 50 feet, 1 3/4 inches during the Lake Conference meet at Hopkins High Stadium.

Trojans fill hockey job Wayzata High has a new boys hockey coach.

Pat O’Leary, a former University of Minnesota player, has replaced Carl Davis, who resigned this spring after 16 years as head coach.

O’Leary assisted Davis the last three years.

Biewen seeks Edina long jump record

BY JOHN SHERMAN • SUN NEWSPAPERS When it comes to track and field, Edina High junior Katybeth Biewen can do it all.

As a ninth-grader, she qualified for state in the 400-meter dash. Because she had mononucleosis last spring, she was not healthy enough to win a state berth.

She has come back strong this season and hopes to qualify for state in the long jump during the Section 6AA meet this week at Hopkins High School.

An ankle injury at the end of basketball season prevented Biewen from running the 400 early in the track season.

After a while, she decided she would focus on the long jump and also compete in the high jump.

“The long jump is pretty natural for me,” said Biewen, who won the Lake Conference championship May 17 with a leap of 16 feet, 7 inches. “I am going to try to break the school record of 17 feet, 7 inches [by Emily Warner]. It’s reachable if I can put it all together.”

“Katybeth’s career best jump is 17-3,” said Edina head coach Cole Nelson.

“The school record has been her goal since the start of the season.”

BIEWEN: TO NEXT PAGE

Biewen FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Biewen’s formula for long jump success folds out this way, “Run fast, pop off the board and finish the jump.”

The fact that Biewen has sprinter’s speed also is an advantage.

Section 6AA includes some of the state’s premier long jumpers, so Biewen will have to work hard to become the champion. Some of the contenders are Danielle Schultz of Eden Prairie, Julia Wiemer and Jill Greenfield of Hopkins and Deanna Browne of Wayzata.

Biewen said her high jump results have been up and down this spring.

“I high jumped 5 feet the first meet of the season and haven’t jumped 5 feet since then,” said Biewen, whose teammate, junior Julia Good, won the title at the Lake meet with a leap of 5-1.

Biewen and Good lead a strong group of Edina athletes in field events. Emily Guimont, the conference pole vault champion, is prominent, and Kelly Fogelson placed third in the conference

in the discus.

“I enjoy being on the track team,” said Biewen, “because I can spend time with my friends.”

Biewen is a two-sport star at Edina High. She is a two-time all-conference guard for Hornet head coach Matt Nilsen.

“Basketball is my favorite sport, but I like track, too,” said Biewen.

In April, May and June, Biewen balances both sports. When track practice ends, she often heads off to practice with her AAU basketball team, the Metro Stars. Weekends are reserved for basketball tournaments.

Looking ahead, Biewen, who is an A student, plans to play basketball in college.

Her parents, Paul and Amy, are her biggest fans along with her brother Ben, a former Edina High boys basketball starter.

“Especially in basketball, my dad helps me a lot,” said Biewen. “My mom comes to all of my meets and games.”

Do her parents offer her any advice?

“They tell me to have fun and control the things I can control,” said Biewen.
