Go ‘Up North’ this summer Edina resident Joe Brandmeier releases book of nature photos BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS

More than 50 kids as well as their parents attended the neighborhood party organized by Marcia Friedman. “This is a neighborhood that is multigenerational and has changed a lot in the past 10 years. Night to Unite lets everyone connect,” she said. Edina Police Det.

Like many Minnesotans, Joe Brandmeier will pack the car and head up north with his family this summer. The Edina director and producer said nothing beats the quiet draw of the lake and cabin. “When you’re driving out of town, you’re thinking about utility bills and all these little things, and then you just start to relax a little bit,” he said. Brandmeier could use a vacation after a busy year that included filming the Minnesota Opera for theatrical release and his first book. “Up North: Reflections, Moments & Memories,” printed earlier this summer by Golden Valley-based Tristan Publishing, features 80-pages of his nature photography. He hopes the book will help readers get in the “up north” state-of-mind even when they can’t physically be. The images shot in northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, California and Alaska are paired with thoughtful quotes about “slowing down, looking at nature and appreciating what you have in your backyard and the direction north,” he said. For Brandmeier, the passion for the north began with childhood trips to his grandfather’s cabin in the Nicolet National Forest in Wisconsin.

Hennepin, Dakota county mayors get behind the wheel for food shelves BY PAUL GROESSEL • SUN NEWSPAPERS New Hope Mayor Kathi Hemken gunned it around the racetrack. She did pretty well since it was her first time hopping into a door-less stockcar, a la “The Dukes of Hazard.” She and other mayors from Hennepin and Dakota county cities are going to face off at Shakopee’s Raceway Park track in September to help raise money for area food shelves. On Thursday, July 28, after laying down a little friendly smack talk to other mayors for a commercial to promote the upcoming “Race for Hunger Mayors Cup,” Hemken took a stockcar out for a spin on the track. So, how’d her test spin go? “Fabulous. You really do have to pay attention,” Hemken said. “It’s not like driving on the streets of New Hope.” Although the list of participants hasn’t been confirmed for the “Race for Hunger Mayors Cup,” event organizer Denny Barlau said around 20 mayors and city representatives could take part in the races. The event has been scheduled Sept. 9 at Raceway Park, 1 Checkered Flag Blvd., Shakopee. Gates open 5 p.m.; time

trials and photo sessions start 5:30 p.m., and opening ceremonies begin 7:30 p.m. Aside from seeing area mayors stockcar race against each other in several heats, guests can also see Minnesota Viking cheerleaders, Swarm cheerleaders, and retired North Star hockey players. To open the event, Westside 1 Skydivers will jump from 24,000 feet and land and parachute to the center of the track. Tickets are $12.50 at the gate and presale tickets are $10. Children 12 and under are admitted for free. Ticket proceeds will go to Hennepin County’s Emergency Food Shelf network and Dakota County food shelves. Raising $100,000 is the goal, Barlau said. “Because our food shelves are in such bad shape … there’s nothing worse than letting kids go hungry,” Barlau said. Hemken hopes some people show up to have a good time and support families in need. (And, maybe so they can see other racers eat her dust.) “[It] sounds like a fun event, and the money is all going to a really good cause,” she said. Info: 612-280-7418.

Despite funding delay, education bill could benefit Edina Public Schools Borrowing offset by increased funding formula Edina Public Schools is actively preparing for the 2011-12 school year. A final piece of the planning puzzle was the conclusion of the 2011 Minnesota legislative session. While no one desired a state government shutdown, I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all our state elected officials to complete the session. I feel this session had many favorable results for our school district related to the education bill. The significant state funding challenges will require school districts in Minnesota to have 40 percent of their state funding revenues (approximately $24 mil-

RIC DRESSEN Edina Public Schools Superintendent

lion for Edina Public Schools) delayed by a year. This will require school districts to borrow money to meet their cash flow needs. School districts will receive a slight increase in the funding formula (approximately $400,000 for Edina), which will cover the costs of borrowing. The administration is assessing our future cash flow and other educational needs to ensure we effectively use this new revenue. The approved 201112 budget anticipated a majority of the changes to state funding revenues. The $2.3 million of

Budget Reductions, Reallocations and Revenue Generation adjustments reflected in the budget will remain in place. The school district is still waiting to receive specific details from the Minnesota Department of Education related to this session. The final bill has several provisions that can create opportunities for Edina Public Schools to advance our educational plans, including: • creating a task force to repurpose integration revenue to close the achievement gap • retaining costing formulas to support excess costs in Special Education • repealing the Jan. 15 negotiation deadline, which had negatively impacted our district in 2010 • establishing a principal and

teacher evaluation framework • creating greater flexibility in several categorical funding areas • modifying the school calendar to be based on total number of hours versus school days • increasing spending flexibility in several categories for school districts Our school district will continue to keep everyone informed as the provisions are implemented. Further, I will continue to work with our state elected officials to address the long-term school funding challenges facing our state. The 2012 legislative session is not that far away, and I expect discussions will be occurring seeking long-term solutions to ensure adequate funding to support students well into the 21st century. I wish everyone a great start to the new school year.

Know your long-term care funding options A common misconception by many seniors is that Medicare will pay for their long-term care needs without any limits. But it’s not that simple. Seniors do get a booklet titled “Medicare and You” from the office of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. That booklet has 140 pages explaining the benefits and special programs that a person age 65 is entitled to if they have worked at least 40 quarters. Other special ways to become eligible for Medicare are also outlined in that booklet. It is not until page 109 that the subject of long-term care and payment is addressed. Only three pages are dedicated to the topic. These pages explain what services are covered and where the

JERRY BIESE Guest Columnist

services can be provided. The list is quite broad and comprehensive. It does point out “at least 70 percent of people over 65 will need long-term care services at some point.” Most of the pages tell about various programs that pay for long-term care. First on the list is long-term care insurance, followed by personal resources and other private options. Those are followed by the mention of Medicaid and other programs. All of the care offered by

Medicare is to help individuals recover their health. Medicare, as explained on page 28, covers care in a skilled nursing facility on the condition it “must be medically necessary after a three-day minimum inpatient hospital stay for a related illness or injury. An inpatient hospital stay begins the day you’re formally admitted with a doctor’s order and doesn’t include the day you’re discharged. To qualify for care in a skilled nursing facility, your doctor must certify that you need daily skilled care like intravenous injections or physical therapy. Medicare doesn’t cover long-term care or custodial care.” Then you have to go to page 136 to find out that if you do qualify for skilled nursing care, Medicare will pay in full the first

20 days of your stay and you will pay a daily cost of $137.50 per day, if necessary, for days 21 to 100. The average stay is less than 30 days with these restrictions. Since many seniors fail to plan for a long-term care event, many end up on Medicaid as the default source of funding. The Citizens League reported in December 2010 that Medicaid as a default source of funding cost the state of Minnesota $1.1 billion in 2010 and could increase to $5 billion in 2035. With an aging population, and a lack of planning and understanding, Minnesota should prepare for a flood of taxpayer-supported Medicaid. OPTIONS: TO NEXT PAGE

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

Let opinion be known To the editor: Paul Wahl’s July 14 column “Letters to the Editor: We really do love them” urged readers to step up to the press with their opinions. I have also wondered why letters are seldom written in response to published opinion pieces in the Sun-Current. When seeing my own entries in print on wood smoke, scented laundry products and

other practices that degrade our community health and livability, I have anticipated both affirmation and opposition, but no response seems to be the norm. Could it be that Edina is a stereotypical suburb that chooses isolation from big city issues, even though these issues are just as prevalent here? I hope not. It is an honor to be published anywhere, because the written word is powerful. Words can educate, mold public opinion and move mountains. I’m told that many folks read only

the opinion section because it helps them connect with others and sharpen their perspective on a variety of current topics. It is relatively easy to be published in community newspapers compared to competing for ink in larger newspapers. Let’s use our freedom of speech with the help of the press to generate dialogue and enhance community awareness for a more involved, enlightened community. Julie Mellum Edina

Edina man charged in $20M fraud scheme An Edina mortgage broker was charged Friday, July 22, in federal court for his role in a $20 million mortgage fraud scheme that involved 57 properties. Derrick Ivan Lance, 40, was charged via information with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Between 2004 and 2007, Lance allegedly conspired with others to obtain mortgage loan proceeds based on fraudulent documentation. Lance’s co-conspirators identified residential properties available for purchase and recruited buyers for those properties. Two of the co-conspirators allegedly told buyers they would receive kickbacks after the property transactions closed, and that they could put those payments toward the mortgages or use them to improve the properties. Lance allegedly used his licensed mortgage brokerage and his position

Renewal by Andersen®

within that brokerage to help prepare and submit false mortgage loan applications, which misrepresented the buyers’ true financial situation. Based on those fraudulent documents, loans were approved and disbursed by wire transfer into the accounts of various title companies. Lance and his co-conspirators then allegedly caused those title companies to disburse a portion of the proceeds from each transaction into bank accounts not associated with the property buyers, the purpose being to conceal the undisclosed kickbacks. Lance received approximately $200,000 for assisting buyers to secure mortgage loan funding for 26 properties. If convicted, he faces a potential maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. On June 27, Roger Bill Hanks of Coon Rapids pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection to the scam.

Book FROM PAGE 1 “We’d all pack into a bad station wagon with no seatbelts and we would drive north,” said Brandmeier, who grew up in Fond du Lac with five siblings. “It’s always been an escape from reality for me.” Brandmeier’s work has taken him around the globe, including six weeks in Africa for MTV and time in Haiti with Wyclef Jean. He’s worked with celebrities including Prince, Janet Jackson, Run-D.M.C. and Suze Orman, but while exciting, the entertainment business can be draining, he said. “On a set of a shoot you have numerous people – 50 or 60 people sometimes. You’ve got clients, and artists and egos, but when I’m with my camera it’s my getaway,” he said. “It’s just me and my camera.” The photos in the book show a range of seasons, from colorful summer sunsets and bright autumnal leaves to snow-covered branches and the baby deer of spring. He said people from Minnesota and Wisconsin – where everyone “owns a cabin, rents a cabin or has friends that do” – have a special appreciation for summer, especially after a “winter from hell” like this year. He said he’s always amazed to see the landscape go from dead

Joe Brandmeier said this image of a northern Wisconsin lake, above, is perfectly matched with a quote from friend Belinda Jensen, KARE 11 meteorologist, in his new book, “Up North: Reflections, Moments & Memories.” Jensen said, “The magical hour up north is early in the morning. I love it then, out on the dock, listening to the lake wake up. The loons, the waves, the wind in the pines, and the warm sunshine – it makes me feel miles away from the rush of a normal day in the city.” At right, Joe Brandmeier of Edina, pictured photographing a bear in Alaska, released “Up North: Reflections, Moments & Memories” last month. The book has images from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, California and Alaska. (Submitted photos)

and dark to vibrant, and compares the transformation to his own when he visits his favorite destination. “We also go dormant for awhile when we’re not creatively inspired. I think nature helps me reenergize,” he said. Brandmeier said everyone can relate to the idea of “Up North” no matter where they’re from. He said he expects readers to see themselves inside the pic-

tures and remember a moment they’ve had. “It’s about a feel and a place rather than a specific location,” he said. His favorite quotation in the book comes from legendary preservationist John Muir, considered the father of the national parks. He said, “When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.”

Other words in “Up North” are credited to great thinkers like Albert Einstein, as well as Brandmeier’s friends and family, including wife of more than 20 years Joan Steffend, a former KARE-11 news anchor and reporter and HGTV host. When they travel up north with their daughters 27 and 22, Brandmeier said they are always still happy to get back to their longtime Edina home.

“We’ve made a life and career here. After all these years, we know all the neighbors,” he said. “I just love where we live.” “Up North: Reflections, Moments & Memories,” can be found locally at Bachman’s, Bibelot, Live Laugh Love and the Galleria Barnes & Noble, as well as online at tristanpublishing.com, amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com.

Painting Solutions Inc. “Professional Service at an Affordable Rate”

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

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

Choose A Plan For Your Future

Dr. and Mrs. Brad and Audrey Johnson

â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us, we know LifeCare will take care of any needs we may have in the future.â&#x20AC;?

It is easy to see why the excitement is building around the development of Trillium Woods. Among the many distinct advantages of living at this new 62+ senior living community, one stands apart â&#x20AC;&#x201C; LifeCareâ&#x201E;˘. It is unlike anything in the area for 30 years. Future residents, Brad and Audrey Johnson, say LifeCare is reassuring. Trillium Woods offers you more. As part of Trillium Woods LifeCare program, you will receive unlimited days of care in the health center at essentially the same monthly fee as the Trillium Woods residence you occupy. This represents a signiĂ&#x201E;cant savings when compared with other communities and health care options, and assures you and your family that you will receive quality care for a known cost.

Minnesota’s final six included two teams from the South Hennepin League, Eden Prairie and Hopkins. Centennial, Hermantown, Osseo and Sauk Rapids were the other teams still in contention. Eden Prairie, the defending state and regional champion, and Sauk Rapids were the two undefeated teams as of Sunday afternoon.

Homers boost Turbos Edina slowpitch slugger rakes in 14-13 victory BY JOHN SHERMAN • SUN NEWSPAPERS Pete “Sundance” Tourek of the Techware Turbos hit three home runs July 25 to lift his team to a 14-13 victory over Mielke Building and Remodeling in the Edina Monday Doubleheader Rec Softball League. The Techware slugger, whose efforts produced nine RBI, modestly assessed his performance after the game at VanValkenburg Park. “It was a good night,” he said. Techware and Mielke are two perennial contenders in Monday Rec slowpitch, and some good-natured banter between them is part of the game. “We always enjoy playing Mielke,” said Techware player/manager Steve

Nelson. “They’re small, but they’re slow.” “They may have beaten us tonight,” said player/manager David Mielke of the Mielke squad. “But I’m sure they haven’t forgotten the 24-4 whipping we put on them the last time.” The Turbos have become accustomed to winning a high percentage of their games. Two years ago, they won the Monday Rec playoffs. And last year, they were runners-up. “The team was formed in 1992,” said Nelson. “At that time, it was basically the 1991 Edina High School baseball team.” Nelson and Kevin Gabrik are the only original members still with the team. The Turbos are known for their defense. Some say hitters dominate the Monday league, but if the old saying TURBOS: TO NEXT PAGE

Solid pitching performances from Mark Schroeder and Chad Volbert helped the Edina ESOX sweep the Westside Bombers in a first-round Riverview Amateur Baseball League playoff series last week. Schroeder pitched eight innings in a 5-0 win in the best-two-of-three series opener. The ESOX won the second game 12-7 with Volbert pitching 4 and 2/3 scoreless innings in relief of starter Erik Olson. “Mark [Schroeder] was in control from the opening pitch,” said ESOX manager Denny Scanlon. “He had all of his pitches working and made it look easy.” “I got ahead on the count, and we made plays defensively,” said Schroeder. “It’s always huge to win the first game of a playoff series, and winning tonight definitely gives us momentum.” The ESOX defense was flawless in the playoff opener, and their hitting was timely. “Robert Dunlop had an RBI single, Brashad Johnson had two hits and Andy Bartz hit a triple,” said Scanlon. In the second game of the series, Edina’s offense was even more impressive. “When you score 12 runs, it’s usually a total team effort,” said Scanlon. “Jack Schechinger hit a home run. Dunlop singled in two runs. Bartz and Brashad [Johnson] had two hits each. Our young second baseman, Alex Smith, hit a pair of doubles Really, everyone, 1-9, got involved.” The win in the first series earned Edina a spot opposite the Bloomington Bandits in the second series. The winner will qualify for the state Class A tournament. George Walker, who played center field for Edina-East High School in the 1970s, coaches Bloomington. He won a silver medal with the Hornet baseball team at 1977 state tournament. George’s two sons, Dusty and Ryan, play for the Bandits and George is still on the active roster. Although it has been a long time since George has played regularly, he’s no slouch at the plate. The ex-Hornet has a .750 average with three hits in four atbats.

Love Handles pinched

In for the long haul

BY JOHN SHERMAN • SUN NEWSPAPERS The Love Handles have dominated the Edina 35 & Over Men’s Rec Softball League for the last six seasons. However, the team’s three-year, 33game winning streak ended in a 19-17 loss to the Bruce Avenue All-Stars July 21 at VanValkenburg Park. There was a party on Bruce Avenue that night. Meanwhile, the Love Handles took the loss philosophically. Rick LaVercombe, player/coach of the Love Handles, said, “Eventually, we had to lose one. We’ve won the Edina 35 & Over championship five years in a row.” The 33-game winning streak began when the Love Handles won their final 10 games in 2009. Last summer they made a clean sweep with a 14-0 record. They had nine consecutive wins this season before losing to the Bruce Avenue All-Stars. How did the team get the name Love Handles? “We were sponsored by Bunny’s for a long time,” said LaVercombe. “The Love Handles name describes our body shape.” LaVercombe has been playing Edina rec softball since 1987 and is one of the most recognizable faces at VanValkenburg Park. He usually plays third base for the Love Handles and also plays third base for Mielke Building and Remodeling in the Monday Night Doubleheader League. “Our core group has been together for a long time,” he said LaVercombe. “That would be me, Mike Halloran, Scott Jenewein, Bob McGarry, Pat McGovern, Tim McGovern, Mike Rooney and Jim Williams.” Other team members are Bill Bausman, John Conway, Chris Garvin, Dave Mielke and Jason Sirek. “We play for fun, and we play to win,” said Pat McGovern, the starting pitcher. Most of the Love Handles also play in the Monday Night League, so there is plenty of bonding on the field and after the games. “If we weren’t playing ball together, we might not see each other at all,” said LaVercombe. “In the old days, we used to play in state tournaments. Now, we’re just a bunch of friends getting together to play ball.” The Love Handles take a 9-1 record into the 35 & Over playoffs, which begin this week at VanValkenburg Park. While the Bruce Avenue All-Stars are a definite roadblock, the Love Handles are once again favored to pinch the playoff title.

Turbos FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “defense wins championships” is true, it shows up in the Turbos’ record. Third baseman Matt Svidron made a couple of impressive defensive plays to help save the win over Mielke. Mielke was down 14-8 going into the seventh inning and gave the Turbos a scare before the game ended. Scott Bantz hit a three-run homer to cut the Turbos’ lead to 14-11, and then Rob Presthus smashed a two-run homer to make it 14-13 before a flyout ended the game. In their other game on the 25th, the Turbos defended well all over the field and beat Mayhem 17-7. The Turbos are 15-5 this summer and took third place in regularseason play. Champps emerged as the regular-season champion, but with the playoffs coming up, the Turbos are optimistic. “We beat Champps once and lost to them once,” said Nelson. “Anything could happen if we play them again.” Mielke Building and Remodeling finished sixth in the league standings, but could be a tough out in the playoffs with its power hitting and speedy outfield defense. Mielke also has one of the league’s most deceptive pitchers, Pat McGovern. Monday Rec playoffs were underway as this edition went to press. The playoffs will continue Monday, Aug. 8, at VanValkenburg Park.

Former home health nurse enjoys creating healthier homes New Windows for America expanding its products, efficiency and facility Rhonda and Jim Steffes have owned and operated New Windows for America in New Brighton since 2000. Their business has grown to 30 employees and moved in March 2011 to a bigger location in New Brighton off of 35W. The company sells and installs residential windows, doors, siding, attic insulation, metal and solar roofing. “We started as a windows only company, but over the years have expanded to include more energy efficient products,” said Rhonda, who started the company after working for 10 years as a home health care RN. “I went from taking care of people to taking care of homes. We want to be your Energy Savings Solution Company.” Jim was a CPA working as the chief financial officer for a manufacturing plant before he joined Rhonda in the company. “We were founded after all the hassles and high prices we obtained while searching for windows in our home,” says Rhonda. “We felt we could do it better, cheaper and with less hassles for the homeowner. We become your ‘window guy’ for any problems, questions or

concerns. One call to us will take care of it.” With the federal government pushing homeowners to be more energy efficient, New Windows for America has joined forces with Xcel Energy and is now a trade partner. “Our relationship with Xcel Energy helps us help our customers save money by making their homes more energy efficient with attic insulation,” adds Rhonda. “We also made homes energy efficient with Energy Star certified windows, which can slash up to 40% off your home’s heating and air conditioning loss.” Solar roofing is another new product the company is installing so homeowners can eliminate a large portion of their home electrical costs, which in turn helps decrease our dependency on foreign oil. For the last nine years the company has received the Super Service Award from Angies List and has an A-plus rating from the Better Business Bureau. They also have a 12 month Same-as-Cash financing program. Rhonda claims that a major key to their success is having the highest quality installa-

tion, adding how “most of our customer feedback is reporting how conscientious and meticulous our installers are.” New Windows for America offers a double lifetime warranty including glass breakage and lifetime labor. All vinyl replacement windows are guaranteed for as long as you own the home. The warranty in non-prorated and there will be no charge for glass seal failure or glass breakage to the present property owner or the subsequent homeowner. “If you provide lifetime labor warranty, it needs to be right the first time,” adds Rhonda. In addition to the lifetime warranty the company offers an energy guarantee. Their standard window is a triple pane which is 30% more energy efficient than double pane windows most other companies install. Besides being more energy efficient, Rhonda says other benefits of having new windows and siding include increased property value and security, noise reduction, enhanced appearance of your home and they are maintenance free and easy to clean.

Want To Lower Your Energy Bills? Slash up to 40% off the heat & air conditioning loss of your home.

Plus, the Remodeling Magazine's Cost Versus Value report concludes, when replacing 10+ windows with vinyl replacement windows, the home's immediate return of investment is 73.6 percent. New Windows for America offers all vinyl or a wood interior window that has the maintenance free vinyl exterior. This is a nice option for those who want to keep a real wood window in their home. The wood windows are available in both oak & poplar. “We have over 2,770 references, and have installed over 50,000 windows in the Twin Cities,” adds Rhonda. “Approximately 35-40 percent of our business is generated through referrals or repeat business.” Store hours are 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday and 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday. The store is at 2123 Old Hwy 8 NW New Brighton. Information: 651-203-0149 or www.NWFAMN.com.
