Legislators aiming for bipartisan district map

Founder of photo studio celebrates long career

Sen. Geoff Michel of Edina leader of state’s redistricting

Clair Peterson, 90, receives lifetime achievement award

Sen. Geoff Michel is preparing for the start of what he calls an “interesting legislative sideshow.”

The Republican deputy majority leader from Edina was tapped to lead the Senate’s Subcommittee on Redistricting.

Redistricting, which happens every 10 years following the decen- Geoff Michel nial census, is the process of dividing the state into equal districts by population.

In Minnesota, the state Legislature is tasked with both state legislative and congressional redistricting, deciding constituencies for eight U.S. Congress districts, 67 state Senate districts and 134 state House districts.

Clair Peterson, even at 90, seldom misses a day of work at his 50th and France portrait studio near Edina.

For his lifetime of work, he was recognized with the Minnesota Professional Photographers Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award last fall.

“He has that old-school state of mind where you just get up and go to work everyday,” said his son Tim Peterson, president of Clair Peterson Clair Peterson Portraits. “I kid him. I say ‘I’ll probably retire before you, dad.’”

Peterson, now in an advisory role at the studio, said about the only income he’s ever received has come from the calling.

MEET THE DISPATCHERS Edina, Golden Valley come together for 911 service

BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS Two thick manila file folders sit on Laurene Draper’s desk.

Inside are application materials for some of the 350 hopefuls for recent openings in Edina’s 911-dispatch center.

“The hiring process is really important for

us,” said Draper, Edina Police Department communications supervisor.

The city is expanding its workforce since taking on coverage for the city of Golden Valley in mid-December. Draper said it requires a certain type of person to meet the demands of the often-stressful job.

“You have to be able to multitask under pressure – daily life and death pressure,” said Draper.

“You have to make quick, good decisions in an emergency while you’re juggling 10 other things.”

Edina High theater students acting up again this winter Winter holds a busy schedule for budding actors

BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Edina High School thespians Asia Thornton (left) and Nick Sweetland (right) rehearse for winter production “Almost, Maine.” Shows are 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, Jan. 20-22, in the Edina Performing Arts Center at the high school, 6754 Valley View Road. (Submitted photo)

Stay healthy.

Get vaccinated.

Edina High School thespians are doing everything but hibernating this winter.

Students are performing in two plays, participating in workshops with the Guthrie Theater and ComedySportz, and fundraising and rehearsing for an out-of-state spring performance.

Edina High School learned in December it was selected from 130 schools to perform at the International Thespian Festival June 20-25 in Lincoln, Neb. It will be the first school from Minnesota to perform on the main stage – a showcase for the best in school theater.

But first, Edina Thespian Troupe 1539 needs to raise enough money to transport close to 100 students, costumes, props and the elaborate cruise ship set from fall production “Anything Goes” to the festival. The estimated cost is $700 per student. Donations are being accepted online at edinatheater.org Performers are keeping “Anything Goes” fresh with once-a-month rehearsals until June. The day after commencement, they will reconstruct the set and rehearse some more. There will be public performances Friday and Saturday, June 17-18, in Edina. The group will leave the next day for Nebraska.

“I’ve already decided the spring musical will be much more simplified,” said Edina Theatre Director Tony Matthes.

Until then, Edina theater students will be kept busy. Currently, 15 students meet on campus twice a week with performers from ComedySportz. In March, a team from Edina will compete against other schools in the improvisational comedy company’s High School League at its theater in Uptown Minneapolis.

In February, Edina will be a part of the Guthrie’s Schools on Stage program.

Linda Talcott Lee, a professional choreographer, and David Mann, an actor and director, will come to the high school as resident artists. They will help students create a performance piece to show at the Guthrie in March.

And this month, two plays will grace the Edina Performing Arts Center stage.

Matthes said the theater department makes the most of January, when it has access to the facility between holiday band concerts and the annual “Pops!” variety show in February.

“We get the theater in January so we crank out two shows,” said Matthes. “It’s almost like a professional theater company. But we’re just very happy there’s so many opportunities for kids.”

First on the program is “Almost, Maine,” running 7:30 p.m. Thursday to Saturday, Jan. 20-22.

Next is “Bang Dang You’re Dead,” 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Jan. 28 and 29. See next week’s Edina SunCurrent for a story on Edina’s entry into the Minnesota State High School PLAYS: TO NEXT PAGE

“Almost, Maine” Matthes said amid a busy season, “Almost, Maine,” co-directed by John Riedlinger, a 1991 Edina graduate and professional actor, is a breath of fresh air.

The production allows students to stretch their legs and try something new.

The eight contemporary vignettes in “Almost, Maine,” take place one Friday night in a location by the same name. It’s not a town or a city, but almost, said Riedlinger, and its residents almost fall in love or almost break up.

Students describe the show as being similar to the movie “Love Actually.”

Both include seemingly individual stories that ultimately intertwine.

But “Almost, Maine,” includes a touch of the metaphoric and whimsy, like the actual package of love one character receives after asking a former love interest for the love she gave back. The events unfold a mid-winter night under a magical sky lit by the northern lights.

At times heartwarming and others hilarious, Matthes said it provides a prime opportunity for students to achieve success developing characters.

“It really allows students to dig deep into character and connect with other people on stage,” said Matthes, “but it’s not something they have to sustain through an entire play.”

What: “Almost, Maine” Where: Edina Performing Arts Center, 6754 Valley View Road, Edina When: 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, Jan. 20-22 Price: $8 adults, $6 seniors ($3 students on Thursday) Information: www.edinatheater.org

According to Dramatics magazine, “Almost, Maine” was the most-produced play in North American high schools in 2010, beating out usual frontrunner Shakespeare’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

The production is suitable for a cast as small as four or as large as 19. In Edina’s there are 10 students with nearly equal parts. Each plays two characters. For many students, it is their first speaking role.

“It’s very much something kids can wrap their head around. The longest scene is 12 minutes,” said Riedlinger.

Senior Alex Schwappach is one student new to theater productions. He auditioned for the show after enjoying playing trombone on stage as part of the orchestra for “Anything Goes.”

It is also senior Samantha Martin’s first speaking role on the Edina Performing Arts Center stage. She was stage manager for “Anything Goes.”

“When the cast list came out I screamed,” she said. “I’m so glad to be a part of it.”

For more seasoned thespians like sen-

ior Will Lidke, who had a leading role in the fall musical, the small vignettes are a welcome relief.

“It keeps things really manageable when you’re trying to balance school, the show and applying for college.”

Matthes said he is also encouraging students to improvise. He said John Cariani’s script for “Almost, Maine” is so good students need to do little work to put on a decent performance. He wants them to make it their own.

“I keep saying don’t let him do all the work. You are as much a piece of this work as he was when he wrote it,” said Matthes.

At rehearsal Monday, Jan. 10, senior Julia Hill was surprised when her partner in a scene decided to leave her.

“Usually I walk out at the end, but this time he walked out,” she said. “It threw me off, but it makes it more real.”

Matthes said it’s been fun to work with former student Riedlinger too. The alumnus has served as “show doctor” for past Edina plays, giving fresh eyes to productions before they go in front of an audience. Students take special note of his comments, even if Matthes has already shared the sentiment.

“I guess I just say it in a different way,” said Riedlinger.

EDUCATION Cornelia raising cash for new playground Cornelia Elementary School in Edina is seeking community support for a new playground. The school’s existing playground built in 1994 is nearing the end of its useful life. Plans for a new playground feature more than 8,000 square feet of equipment optimized for inclusive and accessible play and constructed from sustainable materials.

To date, the Cornelia PTO has raised more than $120,000 for the playground, but needs an additional $60,000 in order to break ground this summer. To donate online, visit corneliaplayground.com, or to become a corporate sponsor, contact Jeff Carver at jcarver74@gmail.com. Community members interested in sharing their time, expertise or materials during the build can contact John Johnson at jj.landarch@gmail.com.

Edina School District continues to tackle rising enrollment Board approves demographic study; considers closing open enrollment, changing resident enrollment policy

BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS The Edina School District will spend close to $20,000 on an in-depth demographic study to better understand growing resident enrollment.

The Edina School Board approved the $19,800 expenditure at its meeting Monday, Jan. 10, and discussed other measures to control student numbers.

“We think this [study] is important,” said Superintendent Ric Dressen.

“Enrollment is a key number going forward and we really need to have some good strong projections.”

This fall, the official headcount came in 74 students above projections for the 2010-2011 school year. School officials credited the boost to students living within district boundaries.

The district’s last demographic study was completed in 2007 before the nation entered a recession.

Dressen said the district, based on anecdotal evidence, suspects declining home prices have allowed more families with school-age children to move to Edina. The depressed economy could also have some parents removing children from private schools to enroll in the public district.

As resident enrollment continues to grow, the district could run out of space at some of its buildings. South View Middle School and Concord Elementary School will likely exceed capacity next

year, with other secondary schools and elementary schools following.

Dressen said information from the indepth demographic study will shed light on reasons behind the increase in students and provide better projections. The information will be used with a facilities study being conducted by consultant Wold Architects to address capacity issues.

Former state demographer Hazel Reinhardt, who has prepared enrollment projections for the district before, will conduct the demographic study, which will focus on elementary attendance areas.

As part of the study, she will look specifically at housing, providing projected student numbers by grade level for new housing units, units that turnover frequently and those that don’t. This work will be done in conjunction with a GIS mapping system from TIES, a technology-focused consortium of Minnesota school districts.

“It’s much more in-depth than it has been in the past,” said Margo Nash, director of business services.

The target completion date for the study is March.

At the meeting Monday, Jan. 10, the School Board also discussed preemptively closing non-resident enrollment at two schools for the 2011-2012 school year and fine-tuning its resident enrollment policy.

Concord Elementary and South View Middle Schools are projected to be near or above capacity next year and have seen above-projected residential growth.

The School Board is expected to take action to close open enrollment at these schools Monday, Jan. 24. Space permitting, the district will still accept non-resident students at other schools. It will review data in August to determine if non-resident enrollment can be reopened at Concord and South View for the start of the school year.

Dressen said proposed changes to the policy for resident enrollment would help “make sure residents are residents.”

Under the proposed changes, at the time of registration, a parent or guardian would be required to show an original, signed lease listing all members of the household or a signed copy of closing paperwork. Currently, only “proof of residency,” such as a driver’s license, is required.

The revised policy would also specify guidelines for enrollment options when a student moves out of the district mid-year. Current policy allows students to finish the school year. The family is then required to apply for non-resident enrollment to remain in the district.

The new policy would specify that if a student moves prior to the start of year, he or she would attend school in the new district for both summer school, if necessary, and in the fall. If the student moves out of the district during the school year, he or she can finish the year, but then would also attend school in the new district for summer school and the next regular school year.

Families that wish to remain in the Edina School District after moving must apply for non-resident enrollment. If applying for grade levels with a waiting list, the student would be placed at the end of the list under the proposed policy change. By state law, students in grades 11 and 12 who move out of the district have the option to continue through graduation.

The resident enrollment policy was sent to the Board Policy Committee for review. Dressen said he wanted the full board to see the proposal prior to the Saturday, Jan. 15, deadline for non-resident enrollment applications.

The policy was expected return to the School Board for action Monday, Jan. 24.

For 2011, make green Upcoming winter events help New Year’s resolutions strengthen bonds with youth

BY ANGIE TIMMONS • GUEST COLUMNIST It’s that time of year again—what will you pledge to improve this year? How about making a commitment to be more environmentally friendly?

Think about the waste you or your family produces and how you can minimize that amount. Recycle more, buy less, reduce waste — there are many ways to reduce your impact.

Here are a few ideas: • Pick one new thing to recycle. Choose cereal boxes, paper towel tubes, or items from the bathroom like toothpaste boxes and shampoo bottles. Most of us can recycle more than we think. Read about what items can be recycled on RethinkRecycling.com.

• Get your name off of junk mail lists. Each year, the average household in the U.S. receives more than 40 lbs. of unwanted, unsolicited mail. Many find junk mail to be a real pain, but it’s sometimes hard to know who to contact to remove your name from a list. Rethink Recycling has compiled resources for getting your name off lists of major marketers, credit companies, and how to register with the Direct Marketing Association’s Mail Preference Service.

• Pack a no-waste lunch. Another easy “be green, save green” tip: Use a reusable lunch bag and reusable containers instead of plastic bags or disposable containers — and of course, a cloth napkin.

• Use a reusable mug and bags. Instead of using a Styrofoam or paper cup from the coffee shop, bring in your own mug. Use a reusable lunch bag and bring a water bottle to refill; you’ll save money and reduce waste.

• Look for less packaging and avoid disposables. This one’s big — nearly 30 percent of our trash is packaging. Much of this is cardboard, which can be recycled, but why use the resources on recycling when we didn’t need that packaging in the first place? When you’re at the store, buy in bulk and bring reusable bags to carry your purchases. Choose lesspackaged products over individually wrapped items.

• Borrow, rent or shop used. Borrow or rent items that friends or neighbors have or that stores offer, then check out buying used before heading to the store for a new item that you’ll only use a couple of times.

• Reduce toxins in your home. Instead of using storebought household cleaners that may harm the environment, consider making your own cleaners that work well and keep kids, pets and the environment safe.

• Explore composting. If you don’t already compost, read about it on RethinkRecycling.com.

A green New Year’s resolution is a worthy resolution and one you can stick to. Get your friends, family and kids involved — it’s a great way to spread the word about waste and recycling and to help reduce the waste in our landfills.

You can also stop by our website, RethinkRecycling.com, to read more no-waste tips, find information on what you can and cannot recycle, read other people’s green resolutions and share your own on our blog. Here’s to a happy, green 2011.

Welcome to the dead of winter.

The winter holidays are over, snow has been falling way too often and it is cold.

You may have guessed by now that winter is not my favorite Minnesota season. Rather than hibernating, however, I am looking forward to several community events designed to strengthen our bonds with our children.

Edina Chemical Health Partners, along with the Tri-City Partners coalition and Bloomington Public Health are hosting “The Parenting Game Plan: Develop a Winning Relationship With Your Teen” Monday, Jan. 24. It is designed to make the relationship between you and your teen-aged children stronger with positive parenting tools.

“The Parenting Game Plan” will be presented by Jean Breitenbucher, a licensed psychologist and licensed parent educator with more than 20 years experience in family education.

One-act play “Bang Bang You’re Dead,” written by William Mastrosimone and directed by Fred Cheng, will be presented by the Edina High School Thespians Friday, Jan. 28, and Saturday, Jan. 29, at the Edina Performing Arts Center. “Bang Bang” raises awareness of bullying, school violence and their causes.

“It is an emotionally packed and powerful story,” said Tony Matthes, EHS theater program director.

Due to the content, parental discretion is advised. A discussion about the play’s content will follow the performance on both nights.

“When the (school) district agreed to let us tell this story, we all thought it would be a good idea to give the audience a chance to respond to what they have seen and to discuss school violence,” said Matthes.

HEATHER HAEN ANDERSON Connecting With Kids Edina executive director

The talkback session will include a panel of educators and school administrators that will discuss questions about the story and what it means to our schools and community. I will moderate the discussion.

The Edina Parent Communication Network will host its national speaker event Monday, Feb. 7. Dr. Michele Borba, an award winning author and parenting expert will present “Raising Socially Responsible Kids Who Do the Right Thing.”

“Dr. Michele Borba has been on PCN’s radar for the last couple of years so we are thrilled to be hosting her,” said Kelli von Heydekampf, Edina Parent Communication Network president. “Her philosophy on parenting and educating fully embraces what Edina PCN strives for in its speakers.

“She is a knowledgeable, engaging speaker who always is able to inspire parents and educators to higher level of relating to our kids.

Parents and teachers who attend our forum will leave with new tools for their parenting toolbox and a better understanding of how to encourage their own children to do the right thing.”

All three of these programs coming from a wide range of organizations will deliver thoughtprovoking information on how we can better parent our children.

Through them, Edina can continue our drive to be a community where all children have the support they need to grow up to be responsible, healthy and caring adults.

Information for all events is at www.ConnectingWithKidsEdina.org.

The company is also partnering directly with nonprofit organizations, school districts and corporate foundations to create private offers to their constituents to generate donations.

In another departure from standard daily deal websites, The Blind Squirrel integrates a loyalty program for participating merchants to help them attract, reward and retain customers.

“This has always been a love of mine – to make a living photographing people,” said Peterson.

There were times when he held other jobs. For a brief stint after graduating from Cokato High School where he took pictures for the yearbook, he was a traveling pharmaceutical salesman.

The job took him across Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa, but what got him in the door at many offices was his grandfather’s image.

Most had a photograph of the wellknown doctor hanging on their wall.

Later, after beginning classes at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, his godfather got him a job at the State Theatre downtown to help pay tuition.

“During the Depression at that time, money was scarce,” said Peterson. “My father didn’t have the money to continue my education.”

The hours were long – he took home Clair Peterson, 90, founder of Clair Peterson about $15 for seven days of work each Portraits at 50th and France, received Minnesota week – but he got to labor alongside Professional Photographers Association’s other artistic students.

FROM PREVIOUS PAGE for a number of Edina High School seniors and families.

“Even now I have people come in and say you did my high school senior photo,” said Peterson. “I’m pleased to know they came to me after all these years.”

He remembers doing weddings with a Speed Graphic that used black and white 4-by-5-inch sheet film and flash bulbs.

The usual was to do about 50 images per wedding. Doing three weddings a weekend, Peterson would develop the film and make the proofs to deliver to the newlyweds as they returned home from their honeymoon.

Clair Peterson, pictur ed in a 1964 portrait commemorating his service that year as the president of the Minnesota Professional Photogra phers Association, still visits his photo studio every day.

Peterson Portraits is now Tim Peterson. (Submi run by his son tted photo)

Peterson earned his master’s degree of photography in 1963 from the Professional Photographers of America Association and served as the president of the Minnesota Professional Photographers Association in 1964. He is also a member of the 50th and France Business and Professional Association and the Edina Chamber of Commerce, and is a past member of the Edina Rotary Club and the Minneapolis Golf Club Board of Directors.

Peterson said while the tools of the trade have advanced over the years starting with the advent of the electronic flash and roll film, then color film and finally digital cameras, the techniques championed by portrait photographers have remained the same.

Peterson said professionals possess knowledge in lighting, composition and posing that set their shots apart.

“There’s more to it than just taking a snapshot,” said Peterson. “We learned how to flatter.”

Those skills came in handy when a state Capital staffer asked Peterson to shoot his family portrait with then-Gov. Al Quie.

Peterson set up the frame with the family standing around Quie and made a last-second wardrobe fix to win an important new client.

“The governor was seated with both hands on the library table and I went up and pulled at his shirt cuffs,” said Peterson. “He said ‘You’re a professional,’ and I said ‘Yes, I am.’”

Not long after, Quie’s secretary called the studio to make an appointment for a formal portrait session.

Peterson also photographed Gov. Wendell Anderson, golfer John Harris, business owners Carl Pohlad and Leeann Chin, Miss America 1977 Dorothy Benham, religious figures and others.

predecessor. Peterson said his son Tim began showing an interested in photography when he was in high school. He began working alongside his dad in 1969 while in college.

“He went with me on 100 weddings before I allowed him to go to a wedding on his own,” he said. “He learned the professional way of photographing people.”

The younger Peterson joined the studio fulltime in 1974 after receiving a fine arts degree from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. He said it’s been a joy to work alongside his father.

“We’re just so proud of him,” said Tim Peterson. “Not many photographers get that far. He built a business from nothing.”

Currently, Clair Peterson Portraits has four employees in addition to the president and advisor. Studio manager Deanne Beaudet said Peterson holds everyone to high standards, and they do their best to meet them.

Edina Historical Society members donated more than $1,400 in a December 2010 fund drive to improve public access to the museum.

“We have an extensive research collection and two great exhibit rooms, but

unfortunately many Edina residents don’t get to see them because we’re open so few hours,” said Society President Frank Cardarelle. “We’d like to be open 40 hours a week, but thanks to our supporters, this is a step in the right direction.”

The Edina Historical Society is nonprofit organization supported by members, donations, field trip programs at historic Cahill School located at Tupa Park, and a $7,500 annual grant from the City of Edina.

The museum features a permanent exhibit on the history of Edina and a temporary exhibit that changes yearly.

The current display features “Edina’s Greatest Generation: On the Home Front and the Front Lines,” which will run through June. Admission is free.

The museum serves almost as many researchers as exhibit visitors.

“People come to us if they want to find the history of their house or family, to gather material for school reunions, or simply to satisfy their own curiosity about their community,” said Executive Director Marci Matson.

The museum, 4711 W. 70th Street, is located in Arneson Acres Park. Group tours are available by appointment outside of regular museum hours.

Admission information for higher education institutions Community and Technical College Requirements The state's community and technical colleges have an open admissions policy.

This means: • You can enroll if you have a high school diploma or a GED. Even without those, you may be admitted if you demonstrate potential for success in college.

• No standardized tests are required for admission to the two-year state col-

leges, and your high school grades and class rank are not considered.

• After you have been admitted, you will be required to take a test for placement in the appropriate courses based on your reading, writing and mathematics skills.

• You are more likely to do well on the placement test if you complete a "college prep" curriculum in high school, including four years of English and three years of mathematics, science and social studies. If you did not, or if you had minimum passing scores on the Minnesota Basic Standards test, you may not be admit-

ted to certain programs. Most likely, you will have to take developmental or remedial courses that will not count toward a degree before you can take college-level courses.

State University Requirements The seven state universities generally will accept you if you can answer yes to at least one of these questions: • Did you graduate in the top half of your high school class?

• Did you score 21 or higher on the ACT standardized test?

• Did you receive a combined score of 1,000 or higher on the SAT standardized test?

Admission to some of the seven state universities may require meeting slightly different requirements. Check with the university admissions office for details. Even if you don't meet minimum requirements, you may be considered for admission under special provisions.

Admissions From Previous Page

It's never too early to start planning for college. There are many different types of colleges, so you need to think about what programs you are interested in, do some research and visit campuses to see which type fits best with your personality, budget and career plans.

Which type of college is right for you?

• Technical colleges are two-year state colleges that teach knowledge and skills leading to specific careers. You can complete a program in two years or less and be ready for a job.

• Community colleges are two-year

colleges that enable you to start on a bachelor's degree. You can take your first two years at a community college, then transfer to a four-year university to finish. Or you can take a career program leading directly to a job.

• Combined community and technical colleges enable you to start on a bachelor's degree and transfer after two years, or you can enroll in a technical program to learn skills that lead directly to a career.

• State universities are four-year institutions offering bachelor's, master's and advanced degrees. Most offer on-campus housing and a full range of student activities.

Redistricting FROM PAGE 1 Michel said closing a $6 billion budget deficit and revitalizing the economy – he also chairs the Senate Jobs and Economic Growth Committee – should be the Legislature’s top priority this session. But the often highly politicized and contentious redistricting process garners a lot of attention from political pundits and the media, he said.

Still waiting for detailed census data, he and other legislative leaders agreed despite the expected rhetoric they’d need to produce maps with bipartisan support to win approval from both the Republican majority in the Legislature and Democratic-Farmer-Labor Gov. Mark Dayton. “The only way we can actually do it is by all working together,� said Michel, who represents District 41. “If it’s not bipartisan, we’ve wasted a lot of time.�

If the Legislature and governor fail to agree on a plan, or if someone files a lawsuit against the approved plan, both the congressional and legislative plans can be referred to the courts – the historical norm in Minnesota.

In 2009, the Senate approved a consti-

Legislature tutional amendment that would have sent the responsibility directly to a panel of five retired judges. The Legislature would have had the opportunity to accept or reject their map, but not amend it.

Proponents argued the maps inevitably end up in the courts. The panel would allow the Legislature to focus on other matters. The bill did not make it out of House committee and would have also required the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature to make it onto the 2010 General Election ballot.

Michel and House leaders said they have no intention of referring redistricting to an appointed commission. Rep. Sarah Anderson, R-43A, of Plymouth is chairing the House Redistricting Committee. Rep. Mary Murphy, DFL-6B, a district in northern Minnesota near Duluth, was named the DFL lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both interested in creating a fair product that serves the people of the state well,â&#x20AC;? said Murphy, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen three redistricting processes since first elected in 1976. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The constitution said the Legislature shall produce a plan and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the people to decide if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good plan or not.â&#x20AC;?

Anderson, in her third term, said elected officials are more accountable to the voting public than appointees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The citizens donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that direct line [to an appointed commission],â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This gives them direct power in the process.â&#x20AC;?

With apportionment data released last month by the U.S. Census Bureau, it is clear Minnesota will keep its eight congressional seats. Minnesota officials expect to get the detailed population numbers used to draw state legislative and congressional maps at the end of February or early March.

Anderson said the U.S. Census Bureau must deliver the count to states

by April 1, but they will likely come sooner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They tend to give preference to states that have statutory deadlines like Minnesota,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to have a plan in place by Feb. 21, 2012.â&#x20AC;?

New congressional and legislative districts must be determined early enough to give sufficient time to prepare for the primary election scheduled Aug. 14, 2012.

Once the numbers are available, work will begin on drawing the maps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The process is no different than you would see in any other bill situation,â&#x20AC;? said Anderson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bill in

Typically, staff hired by the four Legislative caucuses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the House Republicans, House DFLers, Senate Republicans and Senate DFLers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will draft proposed redistricting plans to meet requirements of law.

For both state legislative redistricting and congressional redistricting, guidelines are set in the state constitution, by state statute and by previous court rulings.

First, districts must have equal numbers of people. For the eight congressional seats, as close to total equality as possible is required. In the map set by the courts in the last redistricting process, each district had 614,935 residents, except one with one less person.

Under current standards, state legislative districts may not exceed a maximum population deviation of plus or minus 2 percent.

Anderson said based on 2009 projections, a potential area of population growth is the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west exurbs, and areas of potential decline include the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northeast and northwest corners.

Such shifts can affect district lines.

For example, Michel said in the 1990s, his district was about half Edina and half Eden Prairie. By the next decade, Eden Prairie had grown significantly and essentially became its own district.

Michelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district is now comprised of Edina and west Bloomington.

For both state legislative and congressional redistricting, districts must also be contiguous and structured into compact units with attention to county, city and township boundaries.

The jurisdictions are not supposed to be divided into more than one district except as necessary to meet equal population requirements or to form districts that are contiguous and compact.

Legislators are also called to preserve â&#x20AC;&#x153;communities of interestâ&#x20AC;? where possible. These include groups of citizens with clearly recognizable similarities of social, geographic, political, cultural, ethnic, economic or other interests.

Finally, districts may not be drawn for the purpose of protecting or defeating an incumbent.

Map proposals are sent to a joint commission for review. The Legislative Coordinating Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Subcommittee on Redistricting assists the Legislature in carrying out its redistricting responsibilities.

Greg Hubinger, director of the Legislative Coordinating Commission, said it has a primarily technical role.

The commission provides software, hardware and staff resources to the House and Senate committees.

FROM PREVIOUS PAGE The Legislative Coordinating Commission’s Geographic Information Services office analyzes the proposed plans and publishes them online.

“Those proposals then go through the normal process of being heard in House and Senate committees, on House and Senate floors and then a conference committee if it gets that far,” said Hubinger.

Finally, a plan must be signed by the governor.

At press time, appointments to joint commissions had not been made. The Legislative Coordinating Commission’s four-member Subcommittee on Redistricting will be comprised of one member from each caucus in each house.

Members of the Senate’s Subcommittee on Redistricting, which falls under its Rules and Administration Committee, had also not yet been named with the exception of chair Michel.

Throughout the session, which convened Jan. 4, legislators will also be tasked with other redistricting-related decisions. Two bills were introduced Jan. 10 and referred to the House Redistricting Committee. One would reduce the number of state senators and representatives and prevent senate districts from being split into more than one congressional district. The other would coordinate legislative districts and congressional districts so that the number of senators is evenly divisible by the number of U.S. representatives.

Anderson said her committee would address those issues as they arose. The committee had its first meeting Jan. 11.

“Our focus right now is just getting those population numbers in and seeing what kind of plan for the state we can put together,” she said. “Our goal as a committee is to put out a good, fair plan and make sure the process is fair for everyone.”

She said the public is welcome at House Redistricting Committee meetings. Because the committee does not a have a set meeting time, it will often meet toward the end of the day giving more people a chance to participate, she said.

Michel said he has spoken with House leaders and the governor’s office about holding joint hearings on redistricting plans and potentially a “redistricting roadshow” for hearings around the state.

He said he was optimistic about reaching an agreeable map while focusing on other priorities.

“We have a job to do,” he said. “I’m happy to take it on. This is interesting work and it’s challenging work, but it’s not as important as the budget and the economy.”

Dispatch FROM PAGE 1 Draper said the tight job market likely played a part in the high number of applicants, but there’s also the lure of a job that’s never boring.

Her older sister, a dispatcher in Minneapolis, made her that promise when encouraging her to apply for an opening in Edina 16 years ago.

“That’s the beauty of this work.

There is no typical day,” said Draper Thursday afternoon, Jan. 13.

That day, Draper and two dispatchers on duty spent the morning and early afternoon hours with busy lines for spinouts, accidents and stalled vehicles. About an inch of snow caught forecasters and the dispatchers, who track weather reports in preparation for a shift, by surprise.

Denise Beck, who’s been with the department for 23 years, said she enjoys the continuous challenge.

“Everyday is new,” she said.

The former ambulance driver has taken calls from husbands whose wives are going into labor, robbery victims and neighbors shaken by a house explosion, and still finds herself in new situations.

Among them are dispatching Golden Valley police and fire calls. Golden Valley entered a three-year contract with the city of Edina in September after

Emergency dispatchers must be able to multi-task and make quick, sound decisions. Edina dispatcher Kim Tubbs’ center monitor displays a list of available squad cars, a map with the location of the caller and a form she must fill in with important information including the address of the emergency and notes for the responding police officer. At right is a screen that allows her to transfer calls to neighboring agencies at the touch of a button. (Photo by Katie Mintz • Sun Newspapers) unsuccessfully seeking the service from Hennepin County. It previously had a contract with the city of St. Louis Park.

After completing upgrades to Edina’s system and Golden Valley’s in-squad computers, the partnership went live Thursday, Dec. 16.

“We’re very fortunate we’ve been able to work very closely and bring this about as quickly as we did,” said Draper. “This transition happened in a very short time.”

The move provides a significant cost savings for Golden Valley. It paid $306,000

to St. Louis Park last year. Under the contract with Edina, Golden Valley will pay $14,845 a month in 2011, or $178,140 annually. It also footed a $25,000 one-time administrative fee and will cover a portion of the costs for equipment upgrades and wage increases.

For Edina, it means hiring two fulltime dispatchers to join its team of eight and one or two additional part-time employees. Draper said the new hires would soon begin extensive on-the-job training that can last up to six months.

When fully staffed, the consolidation will allow Edina to have three dispatchers on duty during peak call times, versus the two now.

Without the third dispatcher yet, Edina is still able to handle the call load. Golden Valley is expected to add about 18,000 calls a year, or an average of about two calls an hour. In 2010, Edina dispatchers took 55,457 calls that required a report, and many more non-emergency calls.

“Their call load is significantly smaller than ours,” said Draper. “The addition of their calls is not going to overwhelm us.”

But the addition of a dispatcher from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. will mean better service for all, she said.

Edina Police Sgt. Nate Mendel, who supervises patrol officers, said the information they receive is incredibly important, and dispatchers must deliver.

“One small little piece of information

an officer doesn’t receive could mean life or death for them or the person involved in the incident,” said Mendel.

When a 911 call comes into the Edina Communications Center, an information box pops up on a dispatcher’s large computer monitor. If made from a landline, the subscriber’s name and address are included. If made from a cell phone, the dispatcher sees the location of the nearest cell tower.

Draper said the very first thing a dispatcher does is fill in the address of the emergency.

“That’s the most important piece of information you can get,” said Draper.

“Anything after that doesn’t help you if you don’t know where to go.”

Once the dispatcher has determined the nature of the call, he or she can dispatch police officers, fire crews or an ambulance to the scene as necessary. Dispatchers can see on their monitors which squad cars in both Edina and Golden Valley are available at any given time.

“We send help as soon as we can once we process the call,” said Draper.

Because Golden Valley does not have its own ambulance service, after getting basic information for medical emergencies in that city, a dispatcher uses another monitor to transfer the call to ambulances at either North Memorial Hospital or Hennepin County Medical Center.

In the Community, With the Community, For the Community

PUBLIC SAFETY Blood donations sought This month, the Edina Police Department and neighboring agencies are joining forces with Memorial Blood Centers for the “Battle of the Badges.”

Through Monday, Jan. 31, participating agencies will compete to get the most blood donors to donate at one of Memorial Blood Centers’ seven Twin Cities locations.

Not only do blood donations support

the Edina Police Department in the competition, but a single donation can help save the lives of as many as three people in need, including officers. In 2000, Edina Police Officer Mike Blood was shot in the line of duty, and – thanks to volunteer blood donors and 15 gallons of blood – he survived.

To participate, visit mbc.org or call 651332-7150 to schedule an appointment and vote for the Edina Police Department.

Porthan promoted Edina Fire Department paramedic/firefighter Todd Porthan has been promoted to the position of fire lieutenant.

Porthan joined the Edina Fire Department as a full-time paramedic/firefighter in 1997. He is active in Edina’s Special Operations Team, Minnesota Task Force 1 and as a tactical paramedic with

the Southwest Police Consortium SWAT team. In his 13 years as part of the Fire Department, he has helped implement an employee wellness and fitness program, facilitated the department’s involvement with the Muscular Dystrophy Association, taught numerous family and public safety classes throughout the community and initiated the bimonthly community newsletter EFD Pulse.

Porthan lives in Edina with his wife

Edina girls basketball wraps up January early Hornets silence top scorer for Richfield

BY JOHN SHERMAN • SUN NEWSPAPERS Richfield High’s star sophomore guard, Jessica January, was the metroarea girls basketball scoring leader going into a Jan. 11 game at Edina.

The Hornets noticed and decided to do something about it. January scored only 10 points, 20 below her season average, as the Hornets rolled to a 49-38 victory.

“We were reading about her in the newspaper, and the comment from one team was that they held her to 24 points,” said Edina junior guard Katybeth Biewen. “Our goal against any

team is to hold them to 20 points per half. We didn’t have any specific goal for January.”

“A player like January makes me lose a lot of sleep,” said Edina head coach Matt Nilsen. “Our kids took it upon themselves to stop her. They took the challenge personally. The fact we held her to 10 points says a lot about our defense.

“This is not the first time we held a high scorer down. Megan Stuart of Roseville had only six against us, and we also held Bethany Dolittle of HillMurray to six.”

For the record, Stuart averages 20.1 points per game and Dolittle is sitting at 18.1.

Women in the spotlight at Pond Hockey tournament

Hornet boys continue their winning ways Edina basketball team rallies past New Prague

Action gets underway on Excelsior Bay rinks

BY JOHN SHERMAN • SUN NEWSPAPERS

BY JOHN SHERMAN • SUN NEWSPAPERS Women are in the spotlight as the North American Pond Hockey Championships open this weekend on Excelsior Bay. “We have a nice group of women’s and girls youth teams,” said Denny Loving, one of the founders of the tournament. “There will also be some boys Mite teams playing this weekend.”

Most of the women’s teams come from the metro area, although Loving said a team from California and a team from North Carolina also will be here to compete for the title.

“It has never been our intention to pull in teams from outside of Minnesota,” said Loving. “But we are happy to have them.”

Loving said the women’s division would be broken into two six-team brackets with a double-elimination format.

Women’s pond hockey rules are the same as men’s pond hockey rules. There is no checking, and sportsmanship is emphasized. Fighting, swearing and arguing with officials are not allowed.

All on-ice violations result in a turnover, giving the puck to the other team.

“When we played pond hockey as kids, that’s how it went,” said Loving.

While the first weekend of the North American Championships belong to the women and children, men’s teams will take over the weekend of Jan. 28-30.

“Some of the men’s teams go all-out as far as uniforms are concerned,” said Loving. “Each team has a unique identity. We have a nice field of men’s teams this year. There are about 40 teams right now, and we will probably top out at around 50.”

There are still openings in the tournament. Visit www.pondhockeynac.com for details.

To accommodate all the teams that sign up to participate, Loving said 11 rinks would be used.

EHS boys score 5-4 victory Hornet girls ties Tonka

BY JOHN SHERMAN • SUN NEWSPAPERS Close, competitive games were on the menu for the Edina High boys and girls hockey teams last week.

The Edina boys built a three-goal lead over Benilde-St. Margaret’s Jan. 11 at St. Louis Park Rec Center and then held on for a 5-4 win.

The Hornet girls had a battle on their hands the same night at Braemar Arena in a 2-2 tie with No. 1-ranked Minnetonka.

Coach Curt Giles of the Edina High boys team liked the way his team competed against Benilde.

“Benilde is always very skilled, and this year they’re very fast,” said Giles. “When we play a team that is based on speed, one thing we try to do is limit their space.”

Offensively, the Hornets wanted to create opportunities close to the net.

“When you create traffic in front, the goalie might lose sight of the puck,” said Giles. “Preston Blanek, Anthony Walsh and Bo Brauer are big bodies in front of the net for us.”

Ben Walker, a junior forward, pounced on his opportunities and scored two goals for the Hornets while Nick Leer, Michael Sit and Brauer also had goals. Walsh and Jon Cote were the top playmakers with two assists each.

Scoring for BSM were T.J. Moore, Jake Horton, Grant Besse and Jake O’Borsky.

Edina goaltender Connor Girard

made 20 saves and BSM’s Anders Jecha had 16 saves.

“Our four defensemen – Max Everson, Ben Ostlie, Matt Nelson and Brian Baker – all played very well,” said Giles.

Through 13 games, the Hornet boys are 9-2-2 overall.

“Eight of our last 11 games are conference games,” said Giles. “The others are against Cretin, Totino-Grace and Buffalo. Our conference has four of the top five or six teams in the state, so we know we’re going to have tough games the rest of the way.”

Girls bottle up MHS Edina’s defense was able to contain Minnetonka for most of the game when the Lake Conference girls hockey rivals played Jan. 11 at Braemar.

A late power-play goal by Rachel Ramsey allowed Tonka to escape with a tie.

Edina took a 1-0 lead when Sarah Nielsen converted on a passing play by Sami Reber and Megan Armstrong in the first period. Minnetonka’s Paige Baldwin, who snuck behind Edina goalie Maddie Dahl to slide the puck into the net, tied the score in the second period.

After Liz Trautz gave Edina the lead in the third period, Minnetonka went into attack mode. The Skippers put the puck in the net midway through the period, but the goal was disallowed. A few minutes later, Ramsey put in a goal that counted.

Both goaltenders played well with Julie Friend making 20 stops for Minnetonka and Dahl turning aside 36 shots.

Down by 16 points in a game at New Prague Jan. 11, the Edina High boys basketball team showed its ability to close a gap.

In the end, after rallying, Edina came home with a 64-58 victory.

“New Prague is a really good team,” said Edina head coach Pat Dorsey. “With 10 minutes to go we were down by 13. Then sophomores Mark Handberg and Marley Allison and junior C.J. Johnson gave us a lift.

“We don’t have a star, so we have to rely on everyone. We have 11 kids who can play.”

Philip DeBerg, a senior forward, led the Edina attack with 20 points while sophomore guard Graham Woodward added 11 points and Handberg scored 10.

Edina had an easier time Jan. 13 in a 52-35 non-conference win over Blake at Blake’s Hopkins campus gym.

The Hornets played great defense in the first half and held a 25-10 lead at intermission.

“There are several Edina kids on the Blake team, and it was fun to play against them,” said Dorsey. “We got out to an early lead because Blake had a hard time with our defense.”

DeBerg was once again Edina’s leading scorer with 13 points and Woodward added 10. Brendan Canova chipped in with seven points and Chris Thompson scored six.

The Hornets are 10-3 going into this week’s action.

Edina will play on back-to-back days this week. The Hornets will be matched against Mankato West in a non-conference game at 7:30 p.m.

Thursday, Jan. 20, at Edina Community Center.

At 7:15 p.m. Friday, Jan. 21, the Hornets will play Hudson (Wis.) in a non-conference game at Edina Community Center.

Lake Conference games begin Feb. 1 with Edina facing Minnetonka at Minnetonka High’s West Gym.

Edina swimming squad might move up in state ratings Hornets take down EP

BY JOHN SHERMAN • SUN NEWSPAPERS Edina High’s boys swimming and diving team went into its Jan. 14 meet with Eden Prairie one place behind the Eagles in the state rankings.

Following Edina’s 103-80 win, the pollsters may have to elevate the Hornets from last week’s third-place perch.

“Eden Prairie defeated us in a couple of invitational meets,” said Edina head coach Art Downey. “I’m not surprised we won the meet, but I am surprised by the margin. Many of our guys rose to the occasion, not just the top guys in the lineup, but a lot of guys down the line, also.”

Downey put his top four swimmers in the 200-yard medley relay, and the result was a first-place finish. Michael Gratz, Max Cartwright, Mitch Lentz and Tim Satterthwaite swam a time of 1 minute, 36.84 seconds.

Cartwright added a win in the next event, the 200 freestyle, in 1:47.68.

Jonathan Lieberman and Evan Griffith of Eden Prairie placed second and third.

As expected, Eden Prairie star Maverick Hovey won the 200 individual medley in 2:01.51. Lentz of Edina was second and Mathew Harris of EP was third.

In the 50 freestyle, the top three finishers were Satterthwaite of Edina, Michael Solfelt of Eden Prairie and Buzz Rehnberg of Edina.

The top three in diving were Sam

Linden of Edina, Connor Flattum of Eden Prairie and Isaiah Small of Edina.

Bryce Boston of Eden Prairie won the 100 butterfly with teammate Jenia Foster placing second and Edina’s Erik Rehnberg placing third.

Edina’s Gratz touched out Hovey to win the 100 freestyle. Cartwright gave Edina first place in the 500 freestyle, but EP responded with a 2-3-4 finish from Lieberman, Griffith and Michael Hoblit.

Edina won the 200 free relay with Lentz, Will Braun, Buzz Rehnberg and Tim Satterthwaite finishing in 1:30.08.

Gratz gave Edina first-place points in the 100 backstroke while EP’s Boston and Jackson Lindell were second and third.

Lentz and Erik Rehnberg gave Edina a 1-2 finish in the 100 backstroke.

Girls

Edina skiers excel in meet at Buck Hill

FROM PAGE 22 Stopping January was a challenge for Edina sophomore guards Vivian Engen, Madeline Rodriguez and M.C. McGrory, who took turns defending the Richfield star.

“January was very fast,” said Engen.

“And she can shoot.”

“Everyone on the team contributed to stopping her,” said Rodriguez. “We always had weak-side help.”

McGrory had 13 points, six steals and four rebounds for the game.

Explaining the steals, she said, “I was kind of in the right place at the right time.”

“Our guards did a good job and so did our bigs,” said Nilsen. “We kept Richfield off the boards with good box outs from Colleen Bye and Paige Jones.”

Two of Edina’s tallest players, 6-foot-1 Jamie Bresnahan and 6-0 Lindsey Johnson, missed the game because of injuries.

“With Jamie out of the lineup, we had to make up for her 15 points and 10 rebounds,” said Biewen, a returning allconference player. “Our posts played really well.”

Biewen led Edina in scoring with 15 points. Bye added eight and Rodriguez had six, all on free throws. Hannah Wise of Richfield was the top scorer in the game with 16 points.

Free-throw shooting was a factor in the outcome. Richfield was behind in the last two minutes and continued to foul, hoping that the Hornets would miss from the line.

Edina closed with a win from Tim Satterthwaite, Buzz Rehnberg, Cartwright and Gratz in the 400 freestyle relay.

“We’re fortunate to have a strong nucleus at the top of our lineup,” said Downey, referring to Cartwright, Gratz, Lentz and Tim Satterthwaite.

Next for the Hornets is a test of their depth. They will swim against topranked Minnetonka and Eden Prairie among others in the Section 6AA True Team meet Saturday, Jan. 22, at Art Downey Aquatic Center.

“We could finish anywhere in the top three,” said Downey. “Our guys always go after the True Team championship, but the big deal for us is always the state high school league meet. True Team is a nice interlude in the middle of the season.”

Hornets’ Finsand is first in girls competition

“For the game, Vivian [Engen] and Madeline [Rodriguez] were a combined 10-for-10 from the line,” said Nilsen.

Edina is getting ready to move into the Lake Conference portion of its season. Hopkins (14-0), the Lake favorite, is ranked No. 1 in the state in Class 4A. Minnetonka, Eden Prairie and Wayzata all have winning records, and so does Edina, which moved to 9-3 with the victory over Richfield.

The Hornets will open conference play at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 25, at Hopkins. In a 7:15 p.m. game the same night, Eden Prairie will play at Wayzata.

How do the Edina girls feel about conference competition?

“We have had a really good team effort in every game,” said Engen. “And our team chemistry is really good.”

“We go out every night and play strong,” said Rodriguez.

The Edina High boys and girls Alpine skiing teams both took first places in a seven-school meet Jan. 13 at Buck Hill.

Edina’s boys dominated with five skiers placing in the top nine. Jake Campbell was the leader, placing third overall behind Lakeville North’s tandem of Connor Crossdale and Matt Xi. Hornets Will Baker, Coleman Foley, Rolf Tengdin and Peter Smith took places 6-9 while Spencer Knack and Alex Thompson were 13th and 14th, respectively.

In the girls race, the dominant skies were Kiltie Finsand of Edina and Brenna Murray of Bloomington Jefferson. For two runs combined, Finsand edged Murray 45.11 to 45.43 seconds.

Taylor Johnson of Edina took fourth place and teammate Thea Zerby was seventh. Hanah Downey of the Hornets placed 15th and teammate Shannon Hughes came in 18th.

In addition to Edina, Lakeville North and Jefferson, teams competing in the meet were Bloomington Kennedy, Burnsville, Prior Lake and Wayzata.
