The colors of fall engulf the trails at Augsburg Park in Richfield. Augsburg Park, 7145 Wentworth Ave., borders the Augsburg Park Hennepin County Library and Richfield Community Center. The park features a covered and uncovered picnic areas, large covered playground, long walking and running trails that are lit at night, horseshoe pit, basketball courts, tennis courts and, in winter, an outdoor ice rink.

Richfield VFW post reports four missing ceremonial rifles BY BILLIE JO RASSAT SUN NEWSPAPERS On Oct. 5, the Richfield Fred Babcock VFW, Post 5555, reported to the Richfield police that four rifles were found to be missing, but they’re fairly certain the rifles weren’t stolen. “We are 99 percent sure it was not a break in,” Post 5555 Commander Floyd Jones said. The administration at Post 5555 believes the guns were issued to Honor Guard members over 25 years ago. Since then, all of the members of the Honor Guard at the time have passed. Their families may have no idea they might have the guns. In July, the post began the process to restart the Honor Guard, and decided to do inventory of their uniforms and ceremonial rifles first.

On June 16, 1955, volunteer firefighter for the city of Richfield James Spillane, 32, died fighting a fire at 6437 5th Ave. The fire was one of two that night set by an arsonist, according to news articles from the time. Spillane was taken from his wife, Florence, and two children, 2-year-old Mary O’Rourke and 4-year-old Michael Spillane. During the fire, Spillane collapsed after suffering from smoke inhalation in the low

attic area of the home and was transported to St. Mary’s hospital, but died during transport in the ambulance. Now for Spillane’s selfless efforts, Richfield Fire Chief Wayne Kewitsch is leading a mission to gain Spillane’s acknowledgment on the Minnesota State Firefighter Memorial. “We want to make sure he and his famiSPILLANE: TO PAGE 26

Practice rounds for roundabouts

Solution?

Problem.

Hearing comfortably in noise. It has been one of the biggest problems for people who wear hearing aids. X Series by Starkey features Voice iQ2 and InVision Directionality. Together, these innovative technologies are designed to preserve speech understanding in noise. So you may hear conversations, not commotion.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation played caddy for more than 80 people last weekend, helping them prepare for roundabouts that will hit the Interstate 494/Highway 169 interchange frontage roads. Four of six roundabouts in the highway interchange re-construction are expected to open up before the end of the year. For some residents, preparation included a practice round using golf carts. MnDOT used cones and street signs to create a mockup roundabout in the parking lot of Braemar Golf Course in Edina on Saturday, Oct. 15. After learning about roundabouts indoors, visitors had a chance use a golf cart to drive through the mock roundabout, getting ready for the real thing. A few of the visitors who took advantage of the golf-cart warm up round were thankful for the opportunity. “Everybody could use this course,”

Other roundabout tips from MnDOT: - Yield to drivers already in the roundabouts. - Stay in your lane; do not change lanes. - Do not stop in the roundabout. - Avoid driving next to oversize vehicles. Info: dot.state.mn.us. Dave Jordan of Bloomington said, after he and his wife Margit Jordan took a golf cart ride. Dave Jordan said the learning session may be intended for older adults, but young people should be taught how to use roundabouts properly, too. “I think it should be part of driver’s training,” Margit Jordan said. One of the biggest roundabout hurdles is using two-lane roundabouts, which are not as straight forward as one-lane roundabouts. MnDOT workers and educated visitors from Saturday’s open house said the driver has to know which lane to be in before entering the roundabout. To go straight or right, use the right lane; to go straight, left or to make a U-turn, use the left lane, according to MnDOT.

COMMUNITY NOTES HCMC clinics certified as Health Care Homes Six of Hennepin County Medical Center’s primary care clinics are now certified as health care homes. A Health Care Home or a medical home is a patient and family centered way of providing coordinated primary care for all patients, especially those with chronic and complex conditions. Locally, the concept of Health Care Homes was introduced as part of

Minnesota’s health reform legislation in 2008, and they are also part of a national initiative to ultimately improve the health of the population, the patient/consumer experience, and the affordability of health care. HCMC’s certified Health Care Home clinics include East Lake Street Clinic, the downtown Pediatric Clinic, Richfield Clinic, Positive Care Clinic, Aqui Para Ti, and the Coordinated Care Clinic. These clinics met the series of requirements that included continuous access, care coordination, care planning, registry and quality

improvement. Care coordinators are essential to Health Care Homes. At HCMC, both community health workers and registered nurses, depending upon the complexity of care coordination needs, perform this role. Health Care Home patients are invited to actively participate in their care, specifically in care planning and goal setting with their primary care provider and care coordinator. The comprehensive academic medical center and public teaching hospital includes a 477-bed acute care hospital and

primary care and specialty clinics located in downtown Minneapolis, primary care clinics in Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Richfield and in Minneapolis in the Whittier Neighborhood and on East Lake Street, retail clinics in Bloomington and Eden Prairie an employee clinic in the Hennepin County Government Center and a Neurology & Specialty Clinic in Chaska.

Honor Flights pay tribute to World War II veterans ‘We can’t all be heroes. Some of us have to stand on the curb and clap as they go by.’ – Will Rogers BY SUE WEBBER • SUN NEWSPAPERS Larry Martin enlisted in the U.S. Navy nine days after he turned 17, and he served for three years, nine months and 20 days – from April 18, 1944 to Feb. 7, 1948. Sixty-three years after his discharge -on Oct. 8, 2011 – Martin was in a group of 100 World War II veterans who faced throngs of people in two cities cheering the service they gave to their country. The group of metro area World War II veterans was chosen for a one-day, whirlwind Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., to view the World War II Memorial and other monuments. For vets leaving Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on a charter flight Oct. 8, it was a day of laughter and tears, a time to connect with other veterans and to be honored. “It was wonderful, very impressive,” said Martin, 84, a resident of Golden Valley. “It’s a day I’ll never forget.” Honor Flight was inaugurated in May 2005 and since then has transported an

estimated 50,000 veterans from across the U.S. to Washington, D.C., for a day, free of charge. The nonprofit organization now has 96 hubs in 40 states. As of July 2011, Honor Flight Twin Cities has taken 500 metro area World War II men and women veterans to the nation’s capital. Veterans are invited to apply for the Honor Flights. Martin was on the list for two years before he was notified last spring that he had been selected. “The people were by far the most impressive part of the day,” Martin said. “When we landed in Washington, there were 100 to 150 people there to meet us, thanking us for saving our country. When we came back home that night, there were another 100 to 150 people at the Twin Cities Airport clapping and cheering us on.” Sixty-two guardians, each of whom paid $500 to accompany the veterans on the trip, were on the chartered Sun Country flight that day. Larry Martin and Wally Fuller, 84, of White Bear Lake, were escorted by Fuller’s daughter Jan Smallidge. “Larry helped me push my dad’s wheelchair that day,” said Smallidge, a Circle Pines resident who is a licensed social worker at Life Fountain Home Health

Care. Fuller was on the USS California in the Battle of the South Pacific Ocean and in Japan after the war ended. Martin was on the USS President Adams APA 19 and the USS Hooper, stationed in the Pacific Ocean. He was involved in the invasion of the Lingoyan Gulf and others. After boarding the flight about 5 a.m., the vets were served coffee and rolls and later sandwiches and beverages. A box lunch was served at noon, and then a buffet dinner in the evening, before the flight back to the Twin Cities. When the vets arrived in D.C., a ground crew that volunteered to be their tour guides was waiting to escort them to festive red, white and blue shuttle buses that were well stocked with refreshments. “People clapped as they got off the plane,” Smallidge said. Then it was full speed ahead to the tour. Highlights included the playing of “Taps” at the World War II Memorial, and a wreath ceremony at the Minnesota Pillar. On the return trip, the group sang the hymns of their various branches of the service. The flight touched down in the Twin Cities about 11 p.m. and was greeted by ROTC students and military personnel,

a band, coffee and cookies. Along with the military people saluting the veterans as they deplaned in the Twin Cities were family members and friends that the vets didn’t know would be on hand for the return trip. Big band music was played near the baggage claim in their honor as they arrived. Anne Janda of Bloomington, campus director of Village Shores senior community in Richfield, was another of the guardians on the Oct. 8 flight. It was her third trip on an Honor Flight. “It was just great,” she said. “I keep applying to be a guardian. Every time I get home, I make another application. It’s incredible. It’s so well organized, just as smooth as it can be. The camaraderie is delightful. The veterans start off the trip not knowing each other, and it turns out to be just delightful to be in their company.” Veterans who make the trip are told not to bring a thing. The Veterans Administration supplies wheelchairs and oxygen; a doctor and several nurses are aboard the flight. Each flight also has a videographer who takes photos of the group and the FLIGHTS: TO NEXT PAGE

Should we ticket speeders like Switzerland? In honor of Andy Rooney recently signing off of “60 Minutes” for the last time, I’m going to make a few curmudgeon observations of my own. He’s a little more seasoned than I am, so bear with me while I clasp my hands over my desk and calmly sound off. Do you ever notice there seem to be a lot of drivers who can afford to speed? Or, maybe they just don’t get pulled over. Either way, they can risk getting a speeding ticket. Whenever I’m driving, on Highway 169 especially, those who speed past me are driving nice, expensive cars. Sure, I try to keep pace with traffic and I teeter over the speed limit like anyone else, but when I get passed, it’s by a car nicer than mine. That’s not difficult, though. I drive a 10-year-old Mazda. The parade of high school students who pulled out of the city hall parking lot after a recent city council meeting they had attended for a civics class had nicer cars than I ever had. Maybe their parents owned

them. Maybe not. Regardless, money buys the fast lane, it seems. The simple equation is expensive cars means the driver has a padded income, therefore a $145 speeding ticket is not a big deal. Maybe the guy who flies by me in a Cadillac took on too much debt and is running from repo men. I know everyone in a nice car doesn’t have mountains of money or even a little bit of expendable income. But, when they’re passing you going 80 in a 65, you don’t want to give them the benefit of the doubt. It wouldn’t help my Mazda’s fledgling ego. (Thanks, faulty intake manifold gasket, whatever you are.) Should we have a tiered ticketing system like Switzerland? The Swiss fine their speeders based on how fast they were going – and their income.

Last year, that law led to one Swede facing a $960,000 speeding ticket after taking his 570horsepower Mazda for a 180 mph joyride. Allegedly, of course. Here in the United States and Minnesota, Democrats would probably like the ranked ticketing system. It’d be a redistribution of road rage. Republicans would call for a flat ticket fine. Or maybe no speeding limit at all. Get off the road, Uncle Sam – you shouldn’t be driving at this age, anyway. Knowing nothing about the interact budget aspects of public safety and department of motor vehicle cash flow, here’s my pipe dream: Minnesota could get rid of the tiered fees for license-plate tabs – which is based on the price of the car. That could be flat fee, which would probably be cheaper for many people. But, we should determine speeding ticket fines based on three things: how fast the driver is going, the average miles-pergallon the vehicle gets and the cost of the car. If you have an expensive gas-

guzzler and you get caught going 100 mph, a portion of the ticket would go to state as usual, and the rest would go into an investment fund that would help finance future nuclear power plants. Like it or not, we’re going to run out of oil sooner than you’d like to think, and that’s going to throw a wrench in just about everything we do here in the suburbs. Since alternative energy is in its infancy, I’m guessing nuclear power will play a huge role in saving our ridiculously convenient lifestyle. I mean, a piece of uranium the size of a golf ball (some have estimated as small as half the size of a ping pong ball) is enough to meet one person’s energy needs for a lifetime. That’s for everything. Car, jetfuel and toaster. If you search “golf ball uranium” online, you’ll find some sources. Consume at your own digression. Anyway, that’s a whole different column. For now, please, take it easy on the road is all I’m really saying. I’ll try to do the same.

John is very knowledgeable about our districts programs, operations and finances. He is very approachable with good common sense and excellent communications skills. Since his retirement, he has kept in close contact with our students as a school bus driver for student activities.

John Ashmead for school board

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vote ‘yes’ for Etienne, Ashmead To the editor: The Richfield School Board elections are in November. To ensure that we continue to offer a quality education to all students, it is very important to elect the best candidates available. I feel that Deb Etienne and John Ashmead are the finest people to fill these roles. Deb is a 25-year Richfield resident who has been closely involved with our schools. Her husband is a teacher and coach and her two children are

Richfield graduates. She clearly understands the key issues associated with providing a strong educational program to our diverse group of students. This involves a resourceful usage of our reduced state funding and closing the achievement gap. Her thirty years of corporate business management experience will bode well when dealing with our tough financial issues. John has lived in Richfield for 38 years and has four sons who attended our schools. His career in education included 12 years as a teacher and 23 years as principal in a district much like Richfield.

To the editor: We strongly support John Ashmead for a Richfield School Board position. After knowing John for over 30 years, we know he is very well qualified to serve on our school board. He has worked 23 years as a principal and 12 years as a teacher for St. Paul Public Schools. John is an excellent communicator, passionate about quality education and is committed to all students in LETTERS: TO NEXT PAGE

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. 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. Visit us at AirBroomMinnesota.com or call us at 952.545.2254. As a bonus, repair jobs over $750 scheduled with us prior to October 30th receive $100 off when you mention this article.

VOTERS GUIDE

SCHOOL BOARD – PAGE 12

Fifteen candidates running for only three school board spots Voters to select between 2 incumbents, 13 challengers Fifteen Edina residents are running for 3 seats on the Richfield School Board. Candidates are incumbents Peter Toensing and Todd Nollenberger and John Ashmead, Will Berend, Sharon Christensen, Amy Cossette, Woody

Peter Toensing Address: 7109 Garfield Ave. S, Richfield Family: Wife, Kari; four children Education: Doctor of Medicine (MD), University of Colorado Health Sciences Center Occupation: Physician (Internal Medicine and Pediatrics) Years in city: 15 Community involvement: One term on School Board Peter Toensing Richfield Public Schools, Fiscal Planning Advisory Committee and Facilities Study Advisory Committee Info: toensing@comcast.net Q: Why are you the best choice for this school board seat? A: My first interest in continuing to serve on the Richfield School Board is as a 15-year resident of the city and a parent of four children in the schools. Beyond that, I am motivated by a firm belief that public education is a vital element to the strength of our community. I am very proud of the work that our schools do and I am committed to further building a school district that sets high expectations, embraces accountability, lifts up each student and celebrates diversity—all while maintaining prudent, disciplined fiscal management. Several experiences qualify me to serve in the role of school board member. Over the past seven years, I have built an understanding of the dynamics of school finance in Minnesota (three years on the Fiscal Planning Advisory Committee and four years on the School Board.) I believe that this background will enable me to wade through the details of the district’s budget to ensure that our budgeting decisions reflect the values and priorities of our community. I also have demonstrated an ability to forge consensus around difficult issues for example, leading the board to

Duvlea, Teresa Kruse, Scott Christensen, Deb Etienne, Brian Lematta, Christine Maleck, Zack Olson, Monica Holl Petrov and Chris Williams. Board member Tom Flood is not running for reelection. Terms for the three Richfield School Board positions are four years beginning Jan. 1, 2012, and ending Dec. 31, 2016. agreement on this fall’s referendum. I will always listen carefully to diverse perspectives. Q: What are the three major issues facing the district, and what would you specifically recommend to solve these problems? A: The first challenge will be financial. While we must continue to advocate for appropriate K12 funding levels from the state legislature, we cannot assume that significant increases will be forthcoming. At the same time, increasing expenses cannot be avoided. This imbalance clearly cannot be sustained. In my opinion, there are several answers to this challenge: • Passing this fall’s referendum will be crucial to the district’s continued success. • We must continue to offer a high quality educational product so we can attract greater enrollment and capitalize on economies of scale. • We must critically examine the educational value of our programs to strike the optimal balance between dollars spent and outcomes achieved. This will not mean the lowest possible cost—it will mean balancing costs with the educational quality a program can offer. Other challenges will include protecting our assets and maintaining our strong positive momentum. The chief asset we have is our talented and dedicated professional staff. We must continue to offer an excellent work environment for our employees. Another asset we have been blessed to inherit is firstclass facilities—we must continue to maintain and improve them. If we accomplish these goals and the momentum will follow.

Todd Nollenberger Address: 7036 Lyndale Ave S, Richfield Family: Wife, Colleen; four children Education: University of Minnesota, Bachelors in Economics and Masters in Business Taxation Occupation: Certified Public Accountant Years in city: 21 Community involvement: two terms on the Richfield

School Board, Coaching in the Richfield Baseball and Football youth organizations Info: todd.nollenberger@gmail.com Q: Why are you the best choice for this school board seat? A: I am pleased to have been part of the Richfield Board of Education for the past eight years. I believe that the district is heading in the right direction and that there is positive momentum with respect to educational choices, testing data and public perception. My professional life as a CPA continually reminds me of both the cost associated with public education that is borne by the taxpayers as well as the remarkable opportunity that is provided to every student. I am proud to live in a state Todd Nollenberger where you do not have to be born into the right socioeconomic class to be afforded the opportunity to pursue your hopes and dreams. Q: What are the three major issues facing the district, and what would you specifically recommend to solve these problems? A: First is increasing student performance while closing the achievement gap. This is not easy work and requires a commitment from the top down to ensure that the entire organization recognizes the importance. As a board member I would continue to show my support for this work and do my part to hold the administration accountable for the results at the classroom level. The Richfield School District is in the business of educating children and preparing all learners for success in a changing world. We must live this mission statement every day. Second is continuing to attract and retain Richfield resident students. We have made significant changes in our district to provide parents with exciting options for their children and our elementary school enrollment numbers have increased dramatically. The district needs to continue to listen to the consumers (parents) and make sure that we are providing the kinds of options that people want for their children. Last is evolving with the times. Education, like so many things, will need to adapt to changes in technology and the way that students learn. TO NEXT PAGE

2011 SUN NEWSPAPERS VOTERS GUIDE FROM PREVIOUS PAGE As a district we must make it clear that we are open to innovative ideas and that we expect our educators to provide the kind of instruction that will get kids ready for the next level. We need to be open to ideas that will allow us to do things better without regard to the way that we have always done them and will probably have to continue to do more with less. It is important that we maintain the support of the taxpayers in Richfield by being good stewards of the tax money as well as creating an environment where our students can excel.

John Ashmead Address: 6338 11th Ave. So., Richfield Family: Wife, Mary Ann; four children Education: Education Specialist (EdS) in School Administration Occupation: Retired elementary school principal, presently driving activity bus for the Richfield Public Schools. Years in city: 38 Community involvement: John Ashmead Optimist Club, RHS Parent Advisory Board and Secretary on the Richfield Soccer Association Info: ashleague@juno.com Q: Why are you the best choice for this school board seat? A: I’m the best choice for the Richfield School Board because of my experience and background. I have an EdS degree in school administration and have served as an elementary school principal in St. Paul for 23 years. It has been said that experience is the best teacher and experience is what I will bring to the board. I have dealt firsthand with school finances, staff reductions, and lack of parent involvement, achievement gap concerns and changing demographics. My experience in these areas gives me an advantage over the other candidates. In addition to my professional background, I have been a Richfield resident for 38 years, have had 4 sons attend Richfield schools and drive activity bus for the district as a part-time job. All of this has given me a pretty good feel for what is happening in the district. Q: What are the three major issues facing the district, and what would you specifically recommend to solve these problems? A: Under the leadership of Dr. Slotterback the Richfield Schools have moved forward in a positive manner. Enrollment has increased significantly, more students living in Richfield are attending Richfield schools, and slowly but surely, test scores are inching upward. This has been accomplished despite reduced funding and changing demographics. It is vital that we keep this momentum moving for-

ward, and passing the referendum would make this possible. The board would still need to see that funds are wisely spent and that taxpayers are receiving value for their dollar. With my experience and background, I feel that I’m qualified to do this and will work hard to maintain the public’s trust. Another key issue facing the district is keeping students who live in Richfield in the Richfield schools. This can be accomplished by marketing our schools more aggressively. If we can get potential families to visit our schools, I think that they will like what they see. A professional culture exists in our schools—they are orderly, safe and learning is taking place. We need the community to realize this in order to dispel some of the misinformation that is out there. Finally, the district needs to close the achievement gap that exists between white and minority students. A big step in accomplishing this is to raise expectations across the board. This includes staff, students and parents. Conditions won’t change until expectations change. Success comes from high expectations. Expectations from staff that all students can and will learn. Expectations that students will work hard, be respectful and take responsibility for their own success. And finally, the expectation that parents will be involved in their child’s education and that they will be an advocate for their student.

Will Berend Address: 1001 E 69th St., Richfield Family: Wife, Anna; two children Education: Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences, Mass Communications, Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas Occupation: Owner/Social Media Consultant Years in city: 8 Info: www.willberend.com Will Berend Q: Why are you the best choice for this school board seat? A: First and foremost, I am the father of a kindergartener and a three year old that will attend Richfield schools. Every decision I make will be based on ensuring my children and the children of Richfield are provided the best options and education. What sets me apart from most candidates is my children will still be in RPS for over 12 years. Moving the district in a positive direction and improving the quality of the education offered is and will always be my top priority. Furthermore, my experience working with and leading groups or teams as a project manager for five years gives me the experience needed to be a successful board member. I also bring many years of experience in marketing, public relations and customer service and believe improving the public image of our schools is very important.

Q: What are the three major issues facing the district, and what would you specifically recommend to solve these problems? A: First, finances—vote ‘Yes’ for the referendum and Richfield Public Schools will continue to operate the same fiscally as it has been which is important. If not, the future will include cutting teachers and programs, and larger class sizes. If the referendum does not pass we will be taking steps backward instead of forward. Second, keeping Richfield K-12 aged children in Richfield Public Schools—continue to improve the quality education and options that are being offered. It is extremely important that RPS is considered an option for all children living in this district. Increase the amount of public exposure by coming up with creative ways to market RPS at a low cost. Making residents aware of the great changes and strides RPS has made in recent years is a top priority. Third, updating curriculum—Richfield Public Schools need to review the curriculum from top to bottom and make updates that will provide a quality experience and education. This includes extending the STEM and Dual Language programs into Middle and High Schools. Furthermore, updating the technology in our schools is extremely important to ensure the students are learning up to date and accurate information.

Sharon Christensen Address: 7315 Nicollet Ave. S., Richfield Family: Husband, Scott; two children Education: St. Paul Technical Vocational Institute, Legal Secretary Occupation: Legal Secretary, Human Services Division, Minnesota Attorney General’s Office Years in city: 27 Community involvement: Sharon Christensen Guardian and Litem program with Hennepin County, Adult/Children Mental Health Advisory Committees in Hennepin County and volunteer in public/private schools Info: grandmamac1998@yahoo.com Q: Why are you the best choice for this school board seat? A: I feel that there is always a time and a place for new faces in order to generate differing opinions and to keep the flow of the decisions made running smooth within the School Board. I believe that time is now. In my career as a legal secretary, I maintain a high degree of confidentiality and preciseness are skills I believe will benefit me as a school board member. The demographics currently within Richfield are in many ways no different from our surrounding communities. The population is growing older, there are smaller numbers in our total student enrollment and there are a larger number of immigrants and minorities that now TO NEXT PAGE

Q: What are the three major issues facing the district, and what would you specifically recommend to solve these problems? A: As we move further into the 21st century, I believe in the Richfield School District we need to have our kids be able to keep up with the ever-changing world of learning. In order to do that, we must have funding available. This funding will not only help the District maintain our schools in the best possible condition they are currently in, but also to be able to hire and keep well-trained professionals in our schools. When this is accomplished, there are three things that can occur; first, class sizes will become appropriate to our kids’ ages and learning needs, second, our special education kids receive extra attention when and where needed and third, all of our kids will not only have a chance to improve, but will be able to exceed state testing scores on all levels. Within our District, there has also been a lot of discussion on testing scores. According to school officials, the State of Minnesota’s standardized tests are getting tougher. In many cases as a result, scores have become lower. Richfield schools are no different. In order for us to stay competitive with surrounding school districts, our teachers must be given every opportunity to continue their own schooling through various seminars and classes to help them keep up with the skills they need to be able to pass on information to their students. The last issue I believe is important is of community support. We need to educate our community more about our schools, whether they have students currently enrolled or not. Reaching out to the community through mentoring programs and more on-the-job training would be a great place to start.

Amy Cossette Address: 6435 Newton Ave., Richfield Family: Husband, Brandon; two children Education: Bachelor degree in Marketing Occupation: Stay at home parent Years in city: 11 Info: amycossette@yahoo.com Q: Why are you the best choice for this school board Amy Cossette seat? A: The fact that I have not been involved in the school district administration in the past should be seen as a benefit. It allows me to have a different perspective, come up with new ideas and really question why things are done a certain way. This district needs to constantly adapt to stay relevant, while retaining current students and drawing in new students. Q: What are the three major issues facing the district, and what would you specifically recommend to

solve these problems? A: The first major issue would be funding. I recommend a thorough budget review and benchmark of spending to other similar sized school districts. This will allow us to see where we overspend and also identify areas that require more attention to remain competitive. The second major issue is the retention of district students—those that are currently in elementary and those that currently choose to attend non-district schools. STEM and RDLS should become K-12 schools to retain students after 5th grade. We need to a much better job of marketing our schools to residents. There has been significant positive change in the district and let’s make sure everyone knows about it. Finally, we need to understand why roughly 25 percent of the children who live in the district don’t attend a district school and see what we can do to lower that percentage. The third issue is the student achievement gap and test scores. We should look at other districts with similar demographics that have had success and adopt some of their best practices. There needs to be a bigger effort to bring in parents and/or community volunteers who could help out with children who may be behind. This also helps to strengthen the bond between the community and the school.

Woody Duvlea Address: 7345 Lyndale Ave. So., Richfield Family: Widower; two children Education: Graduate of Metro State University Occupation: Retired U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development and semi-retired Real Estate Appraiser- Instructed in the Air Force and taught real estate appraising and served 13 years as an officer in the U.S. Air Woody Duvlea Force and the U.S. Navy. Years in city: 46 Info: vaseliduvlea@yahoo.com Q: Why are you the best choice for this school board seat? A: My reason for wanting a seat on the Richfield school board can be summed simply as—the children. While not surprising, I’m convinced our children and taxpayers are the least represented in the educational process. I feel that I could be a positive addition to the board and help in their role as gatekeepers. To this end, I feel my age and background could help in achieving the best educational out-comes for the children, the taxpayers, teachers and administrators. I will work to provide our students the best knowledge and skills foundation and a springboard to the rest of their lives. Q: What are the three major issues facing the district, and what would you specifically recommend to solve these problems?

A: While I’m not privy to many of the key issues facing the school district, I’m sure we are all familiar with the perennial ones. Our abysmal student achievement gaps of the past ten years or so must attacked with greater zeal. We must better prioritize our goals, possibly at the expense of lesser goals. Time is our enemy. We must work even more on the possible and less on the impossible. We cannot continue to lose our best and brightest students to other school districts. Some continually say we must compete but I say we cannot compete until we convalesce. Many people say, with some justification, there will never be enough monies to satisfy our school system. Over time our schools have been able to out distance and disassociate revenue from cost and tax. School budgets have become discretionary with increases to them based on the previous year’s budget and, like any monopoly, appear to reflect a cost-plus basis with the budget only an accounting requirement. This could change if we set goals with compliance requirements. Another perennial favorite is class size. Early learning, English as a second language, single parent families, etc., have been used as a straw man to develop support for reducing student-teacher ratios. Many studies refute this longtime belief along with the efficacy of greater pay for teachers. There is no data to support either charge. Instead, it has been estimated that we’re putting roughly 90 percent of our school budgets in the wrong places. I realize my viewpoints fly in the face of the current culture and that others may disagree, but these views are based upon my empirical observations and studies/data research. If I’m elected, I will champion direct efforts to shrink our achievement gap(s) and discourage actions that deter or otherwise use school resources to the contrary. I will encourage more transparency in the budget process and only support goals that have short defined time frames. I will not support resources/levies that promise the vague panacea of lower student/teacher class ratios. This hasn’t been proven in the past and I doubt if it will be in our future.

2011 SUN NEWSPAPERS VOTERS GUIDE FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Q: Why are you the best choice for this school board seat? A: I am a parent who brought my child back to the Richfield School District in 2009, after being in alternate public and private schools. My reasons—the changes made in the district during past several years offer choice, provide safety and respect, encourage acceptance of others, all with a solid academic foundation for our students. My candidacy is based on three principals are first, attracting and retaining Richfield students and those from other districts looking for quality education, second, continuing to promote academic improvement and closing the performance gap and third, focusing on providing tools so all students can be successful. My professional background in business, management and finance has provided me with the experience needed to understand the complexities involved in school board decision-making. I have worked in the retirement plan industry for over 15 years. Legislative changes are a commonplace and during this time I have regularly read and interpreted IRS and DOL regulations. Financial related licenses and positions I’ve held, or currently hold, include Financial Industries Regulatory Authority Licenses 6, 26 and 63 (inactive); Accounts Payable/Receivable for a non-profit OrtonGillingham reading tutor for over two years; fundraising chair for two local scout troops for 5 years and retirement industry consulting for four years. Q: What are the three major issues facing the district, and what would you specifically recommend to solve these problems? A: There are two issues in the district. First, the biggest issue is money, or lack thereof. The State has continued to cut or push off school funding, laying the financial burden on taxpayers. Richfield schools are in jeopardy of major cuts, which have the potential to unravel the gains that have been building over the past few years relative to attracting students and improving academics. To avoid additional cuts, I support the referendum and if passed, will work to keep the district fiscally prudent in the use of these funds. Second, Richfield has worked hard to improve academics and close the performance gap. I appreciate all that has been done to make this happen and applaud the district’s focus and diligence. As a parent with a child struggling in school, I have had multiple opportunities to advocate for my son and his needs. During this time, I have seen areas for improvement that could help numerous children in the district. I support improving the district’s school technology and implementing tools that will help a child learn in a manner befitting him or her, focusing on both the struggling student and the advanced student, looking for additional challenge.

Scott Christensen Address: 315 Nicollet Ave. S., Richfield Family: Wife, Sharon; two children Education: Eden Prairie Technical Vocational Institute, Electronics Technician Occupation: Retired

Years in city: 47 Community involvement: Youth sports coach and Boy Scouts Info: chri0455@yahoo.com Q: Why are you the best choice for this school board seat? A: Growing up in Richfield, I have had the opportunity to see first-hand what the schools were like. Scott Christensen In the past, I have worked with youth in a variety of settings. I have also, in my career, been a supervisor of equipment technicians in the healthcare field of kidney dialysis. As an adult, while working full time, I started taking courses at the University of Minnesota, majoring in child psychology. In the past, Richfield public schools were near the top of the academic rankings for our surrounding area schools. Now there has been shift of the student population and the academic rankings are not a high as they could be. I would like to be able to have a chance to help the schools bring the numbers to where they’ve been in the past. I grew up with a learning disability, and with the help of the schools, I overcame it. I am currently disabled, so I know what kids that have either learning and/or physical disabilities could be going through. Q: What are the three major issues facing the district, and what would you specifically recommend to solve these problems? A: The first issue I feel that is important is that of finances. I feel the Richfield public schools have done an outstanding job in the past and will be able to do so in the future with careful, prudent planning on the part of the School Board. With State funding increasingly being cut across not only our District but many others, it’s important that the Board keep in mind what’s good for the not only the students but the community as a whole. The second issue I feel is important is the retention of students in the Richfield School District. With the introduction of many other schools in other communities that might be a draw for our Richfield kids, it is important to work with the existing schools to bring our kids back to Richfield schools. The third issue I feel is important is in the area of sports. Although this issue may not be as important to some as others, is in the area of the sports programs. There needs to be a way to improve the programs and implement student involvement overall in order to be able to have all students have a chance to participate, and not just the select few that are currently participating.

Info: www.debforrichfield.com Q: Why are you the best choice for this school board seat? A: I believe in public education and I believe in Richfield. Having been a resident of Richfield for the past 25 years, I truly love the diversity of our community and the close, small towns feel we have. I believe Richfield Public Schools are moving in the right direction and would like to be a part of continuing that and to keep improving, to make Richfield Schools the best. I feel that I bring a unique perspective and combination of experiences that few have. I am married to a Richfield Teacher and Coach. I have had two children graduate from Richfield High School. I have been involved in parent/teacher support organizations in several buildings across Richfield. I have served as an Officer on many Athletic Booster Boards. I have had children involved in fine arts, Deb Entienne band and choir programs. I have over 30 years of Corporate Business Management experience, with Kmart Corp., Fairview Hospitals and most recently with Delta/Northwest Airlines. As a top priority, I believe that ‘everyone’s voice should be heard.’ As a school board member, I will work very hard to listen to all stakeholders when making policy decisions about our Richfield schools. I am here for the kids; and I will always be committed to making decisions that are best for the kids. Q: What are the three major issues facing the district, and what would you specifically recommend to solve these problems? A: First, we must stay focused on attracting and retaining our students in Richfield to our Public Schools, as this is absolutely critical. We must offer a tremendous education to all levels of students that meets the needs of our diverse community, so that all students can excel at their very best level. Second, we need to continue working hard on closing the achievement gap and at the same time make sure that all of our students; at all academic levels have the opportunity to show growth in their own personal education. Last, we must continue to offer quality and competitive after school programs. I believe these areas are athletics, fine arts, band, choir and other groups/organizations/clubs. TO NEXT PAGE

A: From kindergarten to graduate school, great teachers in great public schools inspired me to lead a rounded and successful life. Election to the School Board will let me help ensure Richfield students have same opportunity to achieve their potential. I have the training, experience, expertise and temperament to ably perform the complex duties of a Board member and be a good steward of the taxpayer’s money, while judiciously considering the interests of all stakeholders. I have studied the humanities and history at Reed College and the University of Oregon, the law at Columbia University, and business at the University of New Mexico, graduating first in class, full-time MBA program. With over twenty years experience as an attorney and law partner, and four as a Minnesota small business owner, I have developed a fair bit of expertise in administrative law, complex rule-making, negotiations, litigation and contracts. Finally, my well-regarded service as a City Bella Board member demonstrates that I have the temperament to be a fair and effective member of the School Board. Q: What are the three major issues facing the district, and what would you specifically recommend to solve these problems? A: First, is to secure adequate sustainable state funding. The Board should work through the Association of Metropolitan School Districts to reform the legislative practice of delaying and shifting school funding to balance the state budget, Second, is to increase the District’s market share of Richfield-resident students. During Superintendent Slotterback’s term, the percentage of eligible Richfield students enrolled in the District has risen to 74.5 percent. The Board should set a goal of increasing this capture rate to 90 percent by 2022, to maximize state per-student funding and fully realize economies of scale. Third, is to ensure availability of resources to expand the Science, Engineering, Math and Technology, known as

STEM, and dual language tracks to middle schools and the high school. The Board should support STEM and dual language certification for upper grade teachers, and facilitate the administration in attracting more exceptional STEM and dual language educators.

A: I am invested in Richfield and I have demonstrated my commitment to the community and the education of all Richfield students. I have been a strong volunteer and I thrive on making even a small difference for one child, one teacher or one school. I have served as PTO president at Sheridan Hills and RSTEM, on the STEM research and the Fiscal Planning Advisory committees. Nearly four years experience on FPAC taught me many complexities of school finance, to always walk into a meeting educated, and open minded, and to value the knowledge, experience, and perspective of fellow committee members. I have 16 years of professional experience in the health care field most recently as a technical supervisor in the UMMC cytogenetics laboratory. We have utilized technology and innovation to maintain high quality work with fewer resources. I believe these tools can be applied to the school district as well. Q: What are the three major issues facing the district, and what would you specifically recommend to solve these problems? A: Money, momentum and the achievement gap. Money and momentum are closely related and with funding challenges putting pressure on district budgets, our ability to continue delivering an excellent education experience is threatened. Capitalizing on the current positive momentum of students returning to and moving into Richfield schools is one effective way to bring money into the district. State funding is based on enrollment and increased student numbers effectively dilute fixed costs. The current positive perception of Richfield schools is

the result of many efforts, success of the dual language school, shift to K-5 schools and implementation of the STEM school have all played a role as have great efforts by the superintendent, school board, district committees, staff and residents. I don’t believe we can keep our hard fought momentum without passing the current proposed referendum to prevent budget cuts in the next few years. We celebrate great diversity in our community and language barriers that accompany diversity present challenges to closing our achievement gap. The spirit of innovation seen in the STEM and RDLS programs can be put to use in helping close that gap. Rethinking curriculum and leveraging technology are two avenues we should consider in our efforts. Technology facilitates self-paced learning, presenting opportunities for a paradigm shift in how we deliver education from a one-size-fits-all lecture in front of a diverse class to one in which students learn at their own pace and then work on the material collaboratively with more personal interaction with the teacher.

A: Because I always look for improvement. I am an innovator. I am a thinker. I have the entrepreneurial spirit that allows me to make effective decisions, push through adversity, disrupt the status quo, and find ways to change things for the better. Because I feel that the old education model is tired and is in dire need of a system wide makeover. As every Board should include multiple talents and experience, I bring an expertise in technology and a fresh passion for innovation. My goal is to see Richfield Public Schools as envy for the Twin Cities, the State of Minnesota and throughout the United States.

2011 SUN NEWSPAPERS VOTERS GUIDE FROM PREVIOUS PAGE classroom. In my experience with Montessori methods, children need time to develop and grow without interruption. Year round school should become a standard. I would need to work within budgets and opportunities to allow greater classroom access year round while providing that life balance. Experience—a one-size-fits-all model for education is not effective and outdated. Every district and every child is different and our education should reflect that. Work to help pass legislation that would allow the district to create it’s own curriculums and practices. Creating a unique and successful experience for students. Funding—major crisis that is hitting every district. I need to work toward a more independent model that is not so heavily leaning on the State and Federal funds. We need to look toward a business model that would allow success and can be resilient to uncontrolled outside forces. A start toward this process will be to move toward a private or semi-private model.

A: I’m a firm believer that public schools are a key component in successfully preparing our next generation of workers and leaders. Richfield Public Schools provide a quality education and I want to ensure that continues. I am a very organized and proactive person. I believe sustained success is dependent upon creating and maintaining infrastructure versus mitigating damage. Serving on the school board would give me the opportunity to support and promote an excellent school district that, in some aspect, has always been a part of my life. My father was a Richfield elementary school teacher for 35 years, I graduated from Richfield High School and I currently have a son attending Richfield High School. As a parent and taxpayer, I will work to meet the needs of our students and staff while weighing fiscal responsibility. Q: What are the three major issues facing the district, and what would you specifically recommend to

solve these problems? A: I think the greatest issues impacting Richfield Public Schools (RPS) all revolve around the increasing demands of our schools in the wake of reduced funding. Broadened teaching expectations—society and family norms as well as demographics have changed significantly since I graduated from RHS 30 years ago. These changes have required our schools to take on new roles and responsibilities in order to meet the needs of the more diverse student body. Our schools are often expected to fill societal gaps. Learning is more than just pure academics. For many students today, the non-academic interactions and learning are as essential as the academic. We need to continue to understand how we can support our teachers to help them maintain their engagement and dedication to our students. Physical and financial support—understanding Richfield Public Schools’ broadened role, I would like to see increased physical and/or financial support of RPS students by the entire Richfield population, whether or not a resident has children actively in the system. We need to continue to communicate the importance of strong schools and increase awareness of ways the greater community can become involved as “it takes a village to raise a child.” I’d like to encourage those even without children in the schools to volunteer and share their time and talents in our schools (i.e. tutoring, lunchroom or playground monitoring, mentoring, etc.). Conversely, it would be nice to get more of our students giving back out in the community (i.e. community clean up, concerts, etc.) Shared success—society as a whole benefits from strong and successful schools. We need to stress and communicate to the wider community that successful students become self sufficient, contributing members of society and our next generation of workers. Employable adults in turn reduce crime and make our communities safer places to live.

A: I have twelve years of teaching experience in the community, though I am not affiliated with the district, nor

do I belong to the union. One of my daughters is a first grader at RDLS. The other is in the Pre-K program at the STEM school. Prior becoming a teacher, I was in sales for ten years. Q: What are the three major issues facing the district, and what would you specifically recommend to solve these problems? A: First, retain as many Richfield residents as possible inside the district. Every time a Richfield student opts to attend school in another district, we have to pay out $8,000-$10,000 to that district. This weakens our district and perpetuates the idea that Richfield schools can’t compete. Let’s improve ACT test scores (I coordinate the test prep program at AHA) and college prep/AP offerings at RHS. Second, we need to bring Sheridan and Centennial more in line with one another. There is an assumption that Centennial is the weaker of the two schools. It appears that the STEM school is becoming an alternative to Centennial. Third, I am wary of the fact that we in education tend to jump on the bandwagon of some new approach to education every five years or so. This is expensive and inefficient. Richfield residents have been generous and supportive over the years. We have to spend their money wisely.

Confessions of a Heartburn Victim DOCTORS AGREE — a recent clinical study proves AloeCure® instantly makes heartburn, acid-reﬂux, constipation, gas, bloating, diarrhea and other stomach nightmares virtually VANISH!

By Ralph Burns; “Former” acid reflux sufferer Here’s My Story: I've Suffered With Acid Reflux for Almost 40 Years Now. Unless you experience it; you can’t imagine how horrible it is. Every time I ate spicy foods I would get what I called "ROT GUT". Like something was rotting in my stomach. But now I can eat anything... No matter how spicy. Even if I never could before. Let me explain… For the better part of my life; I purposely avoided a lot of foods. Especially ones with even a tiny bit of seasoning. Because if I didn't, I’d experience a burning sensation through my esophagus— like somebody poured hot lead or battery acid down my throat. Add to that, those disgusting "mini-throw ups" and I was in "indigestion hell".

What was I gonna do? Keep taking the pills, or suffer with problems that could ultimately be my demise”. Doctors put me on all sorts of antacid remedies. But nothing worked. Or if they did, it would only be for a brief period. And then boom! My nightmare would return. Sometimes, I felt like I was dying. The pain was unbearable and nothing could make it stop. But then my wife, who occasionally suffered with the same problem; gave me one of her prescription acid blockers. It was a miracle. I felt like I could live again. Because before that, I was just miserable. I wanted to kill myself. But thankfully, it worked, and worked well. I felt great, until about one year ago; when I read an FDA warning that scared the heck out of me. It went something like this… FDA WARNING! Using proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on a long term basis, increases your risk of hip, bone and spinal fractures. That's a particular concern to me, since many acid blockers are PPI's. I've gone through two back surgeries and bilateral hip replacements. I had to ask myself, could PPI's have been responsible for my medical woes? After all...

“The Recommended Treatment for Prilosec®, Prevacid® and Other PPI's is Only 14-DAYS, I Took Them for 14 YEARS!” I was “between a rock and a hard place”. Stop using the PPIs and I'm a “dead man in the water”. It would be unbearable. I wouldn't be able to eat anything. I’d have to go on a water diet. But that FDA warning was scary. I knew I had to stop or else risk developing spinal stenosis. My mother had that. And I watched her die a horrible death. Her spine just fractured. It was the worst death. She didn't deserve that. And neither do I. I had to quit. So I stopped taking PPI's for a day or so. But my indigestion was worse than ever. I would rather take the chance of a spinal fracture than to live like that again. I tried everything. Even started using home remedies like Apple cider vinegar. But it just felt like I was pouring even more acid down my throat.

63 year old Ralph Burns enjoying a spicy-hot portion of Lobster Fra Diavolo. Just 15 minutes after taking AloeCure® I used to get what I called ‘Rot Gut’, like my stomach's rotting out!”

Then one day at dinner, a friend of mine said "why don't you try an aloe drink?" I said "aloe drink"? Jeez. That doesn't sound good at all!” The next day he brought me a case of something called AloeCure®. I was skeptical, but I was desperate! So instead of being an ingrate I decided to try it. I was shocked! AloeCure® tasted pretty good too. It has a pleasant grape flavor that I actually enjoy drinking. I decided to experiment. I stopped taking the PPI's altogether and replaced it with a daily diet of AloeCure®. Then something remarkable happened… NOTHING! Not even the slightest hint of indigestion. And here’s the best part. The next day we had Italian food — my worst enemy. But for the first time in 40 years I didn't get indigestion without relying on prescription or OTC pills and tablets. Finally, I just didn’t need them anymore! I was so thrilled; I wrote the AloeCure® company to tell them how amazing their product is. They thanked me, and asked me to tell my story... The story that changed my life. I said “Sure, but only if you send me a hefty supply of AloeCure®. I just can't live without it." But don't believe me. You have to try this stuff for yourself. I recommend AloeCure® to anyone who suffers with the same problem I did. It gives you immediate relief. You'll be grateful you did. I sure am. It's the best thing that's happened to me in a long, long time. TRY IT 100% RISK-FREE!

Off-duty MN state trooper arrested for DUI BY CHRIS DILLMANN – SUN NEWSPAPERS An off-duty Minnesota State Trooper was arrested for DUI in Shorewood. At approximately 11:38 p.m., Oct. 8, Brian Bammert, 30, was arrested traveling eastbound on Highway 7 near Eureka Road. The South Lake Police Department had been monitoring information through dispatch of a hit-and-run property damage accident in St.

After performing field sobriety tests, Bammert was placed under arrested and transported to SLMPD headquarters. Bammert consented to a BCA urine test, the results of which are pending. After, he was booked at the Hennepin County jail on two gross misdemeanor counts of DWI, where he posted a $3,000 bail.

Rifles FROM PAGE 1 That was when they found they were missing one 03 Springfield Type Bolt accent chrome rifle from World War I and three M1 rifles from World War II, according to Jones. “Our records only go back ten years and we think they are just sitting in someone’s garage,” Jones said. All of the post’s ceremony rifles are stored behind two steel doors with bolted locks that had not during any time in the past shown the slightest signs of damage, said Jones, which is why the post believes they were not stolen. The only reason the post notified the police this late was they decided to investigate the issue internally as it’s highly likely just accidental that the guns were not returned, said Jones. After making the members fully

aware of the missing rifles, the post informed the police in case someone tries to pawn the guns. Since both the post and police have the serial numbers, they will be immediately found. “If any one were to find one of these ceremony rifles and just bring it back to us, we will have no problems.” Jones said. “It is those who want to make a buck on our property, that we wanted them [guns] in the system.” The three M1 rifles are non-functioning. They were equipped with a detachment on the barrel to only fire blanks. “We would know if some one tried to fire one of the M1s because the barrel would explode,” Jones said. The Springfield rifle is functional but as it is from the World War I era, it’s not something anyone would want to try to use, said Jones.

LOVE BLOOMS AT EVERY AGE IN THIS MUST-SEE COMEDY!

Anyone who might have information about the four missing rifles should contact the post at 612-869-5555.

By Dr. Thomas Linden D.C. Willmar, MN Obesity rates are on the rise, in fact the Center for Disease Control and Prevention labels obesity as public enemy number one. Nearly 30% of the population in North America is obese. While most people know that obesity is very unhealthy, taking off the weight seems to be an impossible task. Much more than motivation is needed. We need to have the right knowledge & the right program. Frankly most of the “conventional methods” used to lose weight just don’t work very well. Myth 1... Just Eat Less. While eating too much and eating too much of the wrong stuff may have put you in this predicament, doing the opposite has little result. Your body is created to run ef¿ciently. When food is lacking, your body goes into starvation mode and will slow your metabolism making it hard to lose weight. Myth 2...Eat a Balanced Diet. Eating a balance diet is very healthy and works great to maintain a goal weight, but it does not cause the body to lose much weight. You need to cause a change in your

Creative lineup switch sparks Richfield swimmers BY DAVE PEDERSEN – SUN NEWSPAPERS Although Richfield did not win its girls swimming dual meet against Simley Oct. 13, coach Marc Hamren called his Spartans “winners in the true sense of the word.” Simley won 97-88, but not without some drama and season-best efforts given by Richfield swimmers. “They raced with passion and pride and many achieved new season-best times,” said Hamren. “Heba Eid dropped from a 2:18.00 to a 2:15.67 to claim an upset victory in the 200-meter freestyle. Her twin sister Aya dropped a similar amount of time in her 200 individual

medley to upset Ashley Groebner of Simley for third-place honors.” The twins are ninth-graders, as is Leah Boldt, who dropped her best time to 1 minute, 18.43 seconds in the 100 breaststroke to upset a higher-seeded swimmer from Simley for a second place finish. Hamren said Boldt’s come-frombehind charge was one of the most exciting moments of the meet. “To try and make up for some lost ground in point totals we split our 200 freestyle relay to go for the second- and third-place finish, which we were able to achieve,” said Hamren. “And then we did SWIMMING: TO NEXT PAGE

Keis in on all four touchdowns as Stars improve record to 6-1

The Richfield boys and girls cross country teams warmed up for the Classic Suburban Conference meet by entering the Hastings and Shakopee events last week. The conference championships were run Oct. 18, after this issue went to press. At Shakopee, the boys placed sixth of 12 teams. Two Spartans finished in the top 20, Calvin Bergen (18th) and Jake Bauer (19th). Next came Max Hamilton (26th), Lucas Blanchard (36th), Jake Beaudet (49th), Alex Brault (60th) and Jon Libra (68th).

BY NICK CLARK – SUN NEWSPAPERS The response must have been precisely what the Holy Angels football coaching staff was looking for. A week after dropping a heartbreaking 10-7 decision to stillundefeated Shakopee, the Stars rebounded from their first loss of 2011 to beat Northfield 25-7 Oct. 13. Down 7-0 early, and 7-6 at the half, Holy Angels rallied for 19second half points to send the Raiders to their fifth defeat of the season. Quarterback Sam Keis was in on all four Stars touchdowns. He scored on a 9-yard run in the first quarter to get Holy Angels on the board, then handed the Stars a 127 lead on a 1-yard keeper in the third. Then in the fourth, the junior put the game away by connecting with Brett Pierce on a 46-yard touchdown pass, before running in his third of the game from 38yards out. The victory pushed the Stars – ranked 10th in Class 4A – to 6-1 heading into their Oct. 19 home game with Chaska.

Spartans fall at Tartan After allowing 40-plus points in back-to-back losses to a pair of Class 4A’s top-10 football teams, Richfield went to Tartan and played some defense. The Spartans allowed 16 points, including just three over the final two quarters, but it still wasn’t enough in a 16-12 loss. Richfield led twice in the first half. Corban Halbur scored on a 1-yard run in the first quarter to give the Spartans an early 6-0 advantage. Tartan came back to take a 7-6 lead, but Richfield went ahead 127 in the second quarter after Halbur found Deshawn Jones for a 24-yard touchdown pass. The Titans added a touchdown before the half to go up 1312, then used a 32-yard field goal in the third quarter to push the lead to four points, where it would stay the remainder of the night. The loss dropped Richfield to 1-6. The Spartans wrapped up the regular season by hosting Simley (2-5) Oct. 19.

HA soccer teams advance to section finals BY DAVE PEDERSEN SUN NEWSPAPERS Both of Holy Angels’ soccer teams advanced to the finals in the Section 3A tournament as No. 3 seeds. Title games were played Oct. 18, after this issue went to press. The boys opened with a 5-0 victory over Bethany Academy Oct. 11, followed by a 2-1 win over Minnehaha Academy Oct. 13 and a 2-0 shutout of Minneapolis Washburn Oct. 15.

Swimming FROM PREVIOUS PAGE the same thing in the 400 freestyle relay, going for a first- and second-place finish. Again, mission accomplished.” By changing personnel, Richfield lowered the time of the top relay, but raised the time of the second team. “In each of these freestyle relays the girls rose to the occasion and competed at a level higher

Goalie Danielle Mendez made 10 saves. The girls took a 10-5-3 record into the section title game against No. 1 seed Blake.

Senior Sarah Pospisil won the 200 IM and the 100 butterfly. She also was on the second-place 200 medley and 400 freestyle relays.

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

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

eggs

low-fat dairy

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

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

beans

oatmeal

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

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

olive oil

lean meats

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

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

whole grains

interval training

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

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