City Council: No more booze at Jun Bo Richfield nixes liquor license after string of incidents

BY BILLIE JO RASSAT • SUN NEWSPAPERS Members of the Richfield City Council voted to deny the renewal of a Richfield restaurant’s liquor license after a number of public safety incidents over the past year.

At the April 12 council meeting, a motion was passed to deny the renewal of the 2011 on-sale intoxicating and Sunday liquor license for HKD Lo, Inc., owner of Jun Bo Chinese Restaurant, effective 12:01 a.m. April 13.

Community concern brought Jun Bo,

located at 7717 Nicollet Ave. S., to the council’s attention on multiple occasions.

On March 5, an alleged fight occurred, forcing Richfield Public Safety to close the establishment.

“We were in there doing extra patrol when a fight broke out,” Director of JUN BO: TO PAGE 30

Tied with Yellow Ribbons Richfield maintains commitment to ‘Beyond Yellow Ribbon’ campaign

BY BILLIE JO RASSAT • SUN NEWSPAPERS Richfield is committed to going “Beyond the Yellow Ribbon.”

On April 11, many community leaders attended the Yellow Ribbon Kickoff event at the Richfield American Legion, where attendees were given the necessary tools to begin the campaign.

“This program will enable us to ensure that there are no more military families that are isolated and alone,” said Annette Kuyper, Director of Military Outreach for the Minnesota Department of Military Affairs.

The number one concern to military members oversees are their families back home and if those families are being taken care of in the soldiers absence.

“We need them to focus on their mission,” Kuyper said.

Now, Richfield is making the effort to provide military base-like care in the community.

“I’m glad it is getting started. It has taken a little bit but I think it is needed in our community,” Richfield City Council Member Tom Fitzhenry said.

At the kickoff, a steering committee was formed to be led by Fitzhenry.

“Council member Fitzhenry was very instrumental in bringing this. He is a veteran himself and both his sons are in the service,” Richfield Mayor Debbie Goettel said.

The steering committee is made up of leaders from city groups, community clubs, religious organizations, public and private schools. Any one from the Richfield community is invited to be on the steering committee that would like to make resources available to the city’s military personal and veterans.

The goals of the steering committee are to organize and make available the basic needs within the community for military families. The basic needs are divided into six areas: financial planning, accessible health care, community

(Photo by Billie Jo Rassat • Sun Newspapers) awareness, quality employment, family support and education.

The resources will be complied by the steering committee and a crisis plan will be set up for urgent situations with in the military community.

SPRING CLEARANCE EVENT You won’t believe our low prices!

The steering committee will meet 6:30 p.m., Monday, April 25, at the Richfield American Legion, 6501 Portland Ave. S. “It is necessary that we support the folks that are overseas,” Fitzhenry said.

Great job, Richfield sports teams To the editor: I thank Richfield High School’s winter sports teams for an enjoyable season; our kids represented Richfield in an outstanding manner through their competitive and fair style of play. I feel honored to be their fan and friend.

Our hockey teams were outnumbered in most games but never backed down to any opponent. Led by goalie Becca Hendrickson, our girls placed second in their Christmas tournament; I look forward to watching Kiersti Phenow and other returnees next year. The boys top line, paced by Mick Dhein, was comprised of all juniors; they went on a three game winning streak late in the season.

Our girls basketball team, with metro area leading scorer, sophomore Jessica January leading the way, placed second in the conference and had a 23-5 record. The boys team took third in the conference with a 17-10 record; the highlight for me was beating St. Thomas Academy twice.

The ski teams had a solid season and return many participants. The boys Nordic team was led by Zak Beaudet who represented Richfield at the state meet; juniors paced the girls team. In gymnastics, seniors Kelsey Metz and Sara Tseng headed a strong team with both girls qualifying for the state meet. Our wrestling team improved throughout the season that included a big win over St. Thomas Academy.

Coach Marc Hamren’s boys swim team had another strong season, finishing fifth in the state meet where Matt Hamilton was a gold medalist.

Now, I look forward to watching our spring teams in action; go Spartans!

Oz Mullerleile, Richfield

Cell phones call for a dumbfounded ‘Wow’ As I slipped my iPhone between the bed sheet and the mattress pad, I wondered how the line between “luxury” and “necessity” had become so blurred.

It was my first night trying Sleep Cycle, an iPhone application that, according to its creators, is “a bio-alarm clock that analyzes your sleep patterns and wakes you when you are in the lightest sleep phase.” Dozing off, I tried to remind myself that there were no conclusive links between cell phones and brain cancer, despite the logical thought that having a low-level source of radiation close to my head for an extended period of time

JOSEPH PALMERSHEIM Sun-Current Managing Editor was probably not the best idea in the world. Sweet dreams.

My secondhand iPhone has become many things. It has replaced the voice recorder, digital planner and iPod I used to carry around in my gear bag. I can use it much like a digital Swiss Army knife, recording interviews, keeping track of events, taking photos and checking email on the go.

It also connects me to the Internet, enables me to tweet

and go on Facebook, and now wakes up when my “sleep cycle” is allegedly at its lightest.

Is anyone else amazed by the fact that we are basically carrying small computers around in our pockets all the time? The knowledge (or relative ignorance, depending on what you believe) of the world is at our fingertips thanks to a little device that stopped being a mere telephone years ago.

Today’s cellular phones are communication hubs, media libraries, interactive maps, publication platforms, organizers, and, yes, alarm clocks. It PALMERSHEIM: TO NEXT PAGE

Palmersheim FROM PREVIOUS PAGE boggles the mind to think of how many other machines they replace.

It is amazing just how dialed-in the human race has become. According to a July 2010 article on BBC.com, there were 5 billion cellular phones for 6.9 billion people on the planet. There is also the following statement to consider: according to the U.S. Department of Commerce, it took mobile phones 14 years to reach 50 percent of U.S. households, compared with 56 years for the telephone, 20 years for the personal computer, 10 years for the Internet, nine years for radio and five years for television.

Not bad for a device which even 15 years ago was considered a semi-snobbish luxury worthy of jokes from Jay Leno.

In the late 1960s, people were amazed at the futuristic gadgetry on “Star Trek,” like the communicators which allowed Captain Kirk and Spock to speak, without wires, to fellow crewmates or even to their ship in orbit. At the time, such devices seemed impossible, but we take that same abil-

ity for granted now, along with the idea of having a small device that gives us real-time data about our current surroundings.

In forty years, our human space explorers yet to go further than the moon, but when it comes to communications, we are fast surpassing what was dismissed as improbable science fiction only a generation or two ago. Does anyone else realize just how cool that is?

As for my review of Sleep Cycle, the first night was inconclusive. My four-monthold already wakes me up many times at night regardless of the depth of my sleep cycle, and has lately taken to emitting desperate squawks in the middle of the night that drive my limbic system into the red.

This was documented in a graph of my second night’s sleep with the app. It was a series of clustered and jagged peaks resembling a Richter scale printout.

I’m debating whether I need an alarm clock at all, or if one can just function in a constant low-level mental fog for the foreseeable future. Maybe it’s just life’s way of reminding me that cell phones can do many things, but they can’t do everything. At least not yet.

Sustainability and long-term future I’m the last person who has to be reminded that times are tough. College leaders around the state are watching developments at the Legislature with legitimate concern and well-chewed fingernails.

Sometimes we even find ourselves wondering how we will manage to sustain our highquality offerings in the face of the breadth and depth of cuts currently being considered by the Minnesota House and Senate.

To add to the challenge, service organizations like North Hennepin Community College and other public colleges and universities really can’t indulge in worrying exclusively about the present. Instead of focusing on the economic downturn and resulting budget crisis alone, I argue we must continue to concern ourselves with budgets and with our longterm vision for sustainability.

As a public institution and as a college that is responsible for educating the next generation of leaders and consumers, we need to think beyond our current challenges and remember the need to practice and teach environmental sustain-

JOHN O’BRIEN North Hennepin Community College president ability. In fact, a focus on efficiency and accountability during tough times makes this point even more relevant.

With this in mind, and in conjunction with a dynamic Earth Week celebration, North Hennepin will soon unveil a new plan for sustainability. While students often are the driving force in raising interest in caring for the environment, at North Hennepin our faculty, staff and students quickly joined forces and gained impressive momentum when it came to raising awareness of environmental issues and incorporating sustainability into campus culture, facilities and curriculum.

Specific actions such as reducing the college’s carbon footprint through recycling and waste management, improving the efficiency of heating and cooling systems, and helping students explore alternative transportation options go a long way toward

long-term environmental impact and internal efficiency. These steps build on previous important college efforts, but move us forward at a faster pace.

North Hennepin’s sustainability plan is part of a larger community effort. Community partnerships between the college and Brooklyn Center High School and Osseo Junior High School have resulted in EarthFest and an American Indian traditional feast and powwow. Poetry readings and prose from local and visiting nature writers, a screening of the award-winning documentary “For the Next Seven Generations,” presentations from energy and green-building experts at a Green Fair and live animal and bird presentations are all part of an extended North Hennepin celebration of Earth Week.

North Hennepin unveiled its sustainability plan April 18 prior to the Earth Week keynote address by Arctic explorer Will Steger. Earth Week activities continue through April 30.

For more about the sustainability plan presentation, contact Carmen Shoquist at cshoquist@nhcc.edu or 763424-0902.

St. Louis Park man’s emotional journey put on film Documentary part of international film fest

BY SETH ROWE • SUN NEWSPAPERS A St. Louis Park man’s emotional journey to examine his brother’s death years earlier will be presented in a documentary at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival.

The film, “absence/presence,” will screen 4 p.m. Saturday, April 23, at the St. Anthony Main Theatre, 115 Southeast Main St. in Minneapolis.

Jed Schlegelmilch in 2009 decided to travel back to his hometowns in Wisconsin for 10 days in search of answers to his brother shooting death on Halloween, 1992, when his brother was 17 years old. Jed’s friend Damon Holland agreed to come along to videotape the trip.

Initially Jed intended to create the project for himself, but some family members who saw the 119-minute documentary encouraged him to present it to

Jed Schlegelmilch of St. Louis Park made a documentary about his search for answers in the death of his brother, John Schlegelmilch, who created this artwork for his mother in grade school. The art is titled “have a heart mom.”

(Submitted photo) film festivals. After he finished editing the film last October, the film screened at the Flyway Film Festival in Pepin, Wis., and the Oneota Festival in Decorah, Iowa.

The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival will be its Minnesota debut.

“As the programmer of the Minnesota

made films, I have to say that Jed’s film is special,” said Melody Gilbert with the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival. “It’s a very personal film by a first-time filmmaker about family, love, hope, brothers, secrets and revelations.

The selection committee really liked the journey that Jed took. Who doesn’t wonder about family secrets? Jed took a camera and found out. That’s brave.”

Circumstances surrounding the death of Jed’s brother, John Schlegelmilch, had raised questions for some people about how he had died, but Jed eventually concluded that his brother had committed suicide. Through the screenings, he is raising money for Suicide Awareness Voices of Education, or SAVE, a nonprofit that helps family members who have lost loved ones to suicide grieve. The group also operates a hotline, 1-800-2738255, for individuals struggling with suicidal thoughts.

The previous film screenings have been intense for Jed, he said. Jed is visibly shaken during some scenes in the documentary.

“I definitely could feel my heart beat-

ing really fast,” Jed said of one of the screenings. “I thought it was going to jump out of my chest. I couldn’t stay in to watch it. I think everyone who left he screening shook my hand or gave me a hug.”

Jed’s family had largely avoided talking about the incident previously. In the documentary, Jed interviews family members about their reactions as well as individuals who were present the night John died. He also combs through old writings and drawings John had made.

“It brought up so many raw emotions and things they haven’t dealt with for years,” said Sara Schlegelmilch, Jed’s wife. “I now think the family can talk freely about John. They had suppressed him.”

Jed’s father did not talk on camera for the documentary, but said John’s name for the first time in a long time, Sara said.

“I think that’s the point, that it’s OK to talk about him and talk about suicide, and it’s not your fault and it’s not your dad’s fault,” Sara said to her husband FILM: TO NEXT PAGE

Film FROM PREVIOUS PAGE during an interview.

Jed said he hopes the film will give people hope and provide inspiration to people dealing with difficult issues. The tagline for the documentary on a poster is “Time to talk about the unspeakable.”

Craig Minowa, lead singer of the locally based band Cloud Cult, said he found Jed’s film “to be incredibly touching.” Minowa agreed to let Jed use the band’s music throughout the documentary.

“He searches for answers behind his brother’s death, and I have felt a similar path in past Cloud Cult albums where I’ve needed to use music to try to find answers for our son’s death,” Minowa said. “Art, in any of its forms, has a magical way of bringing about healing.”

Jed said he did not fully expect the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival to pick the documentary up when he submitted it.

“It’s kind of I think the most unlikely film to be chosen for this film festival because it’s literally me and my friend hopped in a car with two camcorders and did this, and it’s such a personal, raw experience,” Jed said. “It’s like watching someone’s personal home movie. It works in the film with the whole impact of it.”

Gilbert said Jed takes the audience on the ride with him in his search for truth.

“Good documentaries take you places you wouldn’t normally go, and that’s what Jed did,” Gilbert said. “Many peo-

COLONIAL

ple wonder about the truth about their families, but most people don’t ever do anything about it. This documentary is a very human story and one that will touch many people at MSPIFF.” Jed had not made a film since his student work when he attended the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for film studies. As a manager at an Edina cinema, Jed Schlegelmilch said he has maintained an interest in film. The name of the film comes from the first term in a dictionary of film terms.

The concept of absence/presence relates to how someone who is absent can still affect a person in real life in films, such as Heath Ledger’s character in the Dark Knight still had an impact on people even after the actor’s death.

“I think we all think about that every day – people in our lives who are dead or living who are affecting us in our minds who are no longer present,” Jed said.

The film closes with Cloud Cult’s song “Dance for the Dead,” which Jed said seems almost as if it was written for the documentary. The song includes lines that state, “This is the dance that brings the dead to the living. Just say ‘I miss you every day you know.’”

Making the documentary has sparked his interest in creating more films, Jed said. A woman in Iowa who saw the film contacted him about her story, which Jed is interested in putting on film as well.

He is working to create a website, miniaturelifedocuments.com, to further his vision. He also hopes to contact high schools about providing suicide prevention and awareness education.

Area business owner lauds SCORE’s services SCORE helps small business owners in good times and bad

BY LAURA GATZKE • SUN INTERN Jason Alvey has long believed the future is in beer.

He opened a specialty beer shop called the Four Firkins in St. Louis Park in 2008. His store carries unique craft beers from around the country. He started learning about specialty beer and realized the market for a store existed.

“I couldn’t figure out why no one had done it yet,” Alvey said. I decided that it was worth a shot.”

His silent partner in the Alvey business has been Service Corps of Retired Executives, or SCORE. SCORE is a nonprofit organization working to help small businesses start and grow. SCORE provides free business counseling and advice to entrepreneurs who want to start their own business.

The Minneapolis Chapter 2 of SCORE is located in the Bremer Bank building at 8800 Hwy. 7 in St. Louis Park.

A number of retired business professionals volunteer their time to help entrepreneurs. These volunteers have expertise in different fields and are available for help with every aspect of a business.

Specialties include accounting, financing, human resources, marketing and sales.

Alvey attended a SCORE seminar about the basics of starting a business and had the opportunity to speak to a SCORE mentor.

“He said to me some of the most powerful things that I’ve ever been told,” Alvey said. “He said ‘This could work, but it is only going to work if you want this more than anything you’ve wanted in your entire life.’ Hearing that from him was very profound. They are without question experts.”

Now that he’s working on closing his current store and opening it in a bigger building, he is still dependent upon the help SCORE offers.

“Opening up a 900-square-foot retail store is one thing, but to close this down and to open a much bigger one … we are

going to have to take it to a whole new level,” Alvey said. “I could not take the next step without the help that SCORE has given me. They’re literally that important. The fact that they are free is astounding.”

Clients are welcome to come back as often as necessary for advice.

“The clients want to be involved with SCORE even after their business is established,” said Chapter Chair LaVon Dennistoun. “SCORE’s new slogan is ‘for the life of your business.’”

Clients can schedule appointments on the chapter’s website score-minneapolis.com to meet with a volunteer. The group also offers workshops that feature topics such as marketing, financing business concepts, writing a business plan and women in business.

Kay Frasden is another satisfied customer. When she lost her job as an interior designer with a large corporation in 2007, she decided she wanted to be her own boss.

Operating her own business came with its own set of challenges and before long, the Plymouth resident discovered SCORE. “I needed advice, and they are very accommodating,” she said. “It’s free. How can you go wrong?”

Her consignment furniture store Wabi Sabi (roughly translated “humble beauty”) at 10100 6th Ave. N. in Plymouth has been successful in large part due to the help SCORE’s counselors provided.

“The doors kept opening,” she said.

“There was nothing stopping me from moving forward with this dream. People scoffed at the idea of starting a business in this economy.”

Tough times have actually spurred the retailer’s growth.

“People are strapped for cash so this works for the seller and the buyer,” Frasden said. “People are downsizing so they can make money on things they don’t need any more. They get a fair price and it is done professionally. People are happy about having an upscale shop with quality furniture at low prices.”

According to Dennistoun, there has been an upturn in SCORE’s business due to the economic downturn. Clients found that this was a good time to start a business because there is nowhere to go but up.

Former Congressman Ramstad keynoter for Day of Prayer West Metro supporters will gather May 5

BY PAUL WAHL • SUN NEWSPAPERS Jim Ramstad speaks about the power of prayer from the perspective of someone who has experienced it.

When the former U.S. Congressman from the Third District embraced sobriety 30 years ago, prayer became an integral part of his life.

“But for the grace of God I wouldn’t be alive and sober today,” Ramstad said.

He will expand on that theme and bring what he describes as a message of hope for those who struggle when he keynotes the May 5 West Metro National Day of Prayer commemoration. The event has been a fixture on the calendar for more than a decade, designed to coincide with the National Day of Prayer activities.

“This will be the 14th National Day of Prayer Breakfast Dar (Sjostrom) and I have co-chaired,” said Helen Oslund, a member of a Lutheran church in Plymouth. “We started in the fellowship

If you go What: West Metro National Day of Prayer Breakfast When: 6 a.m. Thursday, May 5 Where: Medina Entertainment Center, Medina Theme: “A Mighty Fortress is Our God” Tickets: $20 per person; tables of 14 and 8 available. Contributions are also accepted.

hall of our church with fewer than 90 attendees.”

Attendance this year is expected to top 400. Besides breakfast, the agenda includes prayers being offered by seven pastors from seven different churches and Bible schools, each praying 2-3 minutes on a specific topic. Topics include government, military, media, business, education, church and family. The attendees pray aloud at their tables 1-2 minutes for each topic.

“When everyone prays out loud, a

beautiful hum comes over the room,” Sjostrom said.

Those attending will also have the opportunity to share individual prayer requests with a committee member, pastor or program participant prior to the prayer portion of the event. Oslund said she and the organizing committee were impressed with Ramstad’s attitude.

“When I talked to him about being the keynote speaker, I asked him how I should address him in our program,” Oslund said. “He said ‘fellow sinner.’”

During his years in public service, Ramstad was never strident about his faith.

“I’m not a Bible thumper, no,” Ramstad said. “I don’t hide my faith, but I don’t wear it on my sleeve either.”

Ramstad said he and his wife Kathryn joined Wayzata Community Church in 1981. The congregation is affiliated with The United Church of Christ organized in 1957 with the union of two Protestant denominations: the Evangelical and Reformed Church and the Congregational Christian Churches.

The congregation’s roots go back to 1881.

“I’ve seen lives changed at a prayer

breakfast,” Ramstad said. “It’s a great opportunity for fellowship and a gathering of some of the best people who live in our part of the world.”

The Ramstads also served as the cochairs for the 50th Minnesota Prayer Breakfast last year. In addition to Ramstad, Rich Sherber, executive director of Minnesota Teen Challenge, will serve as emcee and the group River will lead worship. River includes Paul Marino, Kurt Linn and Phil Reesnes.

“Our nation is in desperate need of intercession,” Sjostrom said. “Human answers fall short; we must look heavenward.”

Edina bank robbed by man claiming to have bomb

COMMUNITY NOTES

Suspect described as white male in 20s or 30s

Area residents part of Apollo Male Chorus

The FBI is looking for a man who robbed M&I Bank in Edina late Monday morning, April 11. The robber, a white male in his 20s or 30s, told a teller at the bank there was a bomb inside his insulated lunchbox. (Submitted photo)

BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS A man claiming he had a bomb inside his lunchbox robbed an Edina bank late Monday morning, April 11.

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a lone man entered M&I Bank, 3905 W. 69th St., at approximately 10 a.m. and placed an insulated lunchbox on the counter.

He told the teller there was a bomb inside. The teller complied with his demand for money and provided the man an undisclosed amount. When he opened the lunchbox and placed the money inside, the teller observed some brown paper and a wall switch.

FBI Special Agent Steve Warfield said it is not known if the lunchbox contained any actual explosives. He said the bank was not evacuated following the robbery. No one was injured.

The man is described as a white male in his 20s or 30s, about 6-feet-tall and 185

pounds. He wore a green jacket with a logo on the left breast, dark pants and shoes, a wool cap, scarf and multi-colored sunglasses. He is not believed to be responsible for any other bank robberies in the area.

He was last observed entering a white, four-door KIA Spectra, which he drove away in an unknown direction.

Edina to address bullying at April 26 forum

What’s Next

Event at Edina High includes display, film and panel discussion

What: “Reflections on Bullying” Where: Edina High School Fick Auditorium, 6754 Valley View Road, Edina When: 6 p.m. exhibit, 7 p.m. program, 8 p.m. dialogue Price: Free Info: cityofedina.com/humanrights

BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS The Edina community will take a stand against bullying next week.

The Edina Human Rights and Relations Commission and other local organizations will host “Reflections on Bullying” Tuesday evening, April 26, at Edina High School.

Commission member Meg Newell said following a rash of bullying-related teen suicides across the nation last year, the commission began to think about ways to make an impact in Edina.

“We could easily issue a proclama-

tion saying the city of Edina is against bullying, but what does that do?,” Newell said. “We’re trying to get people involved and engaged. If you give an opportunity for people to engage in dialogue, that’s when the magic can happen.”

The anti-bullying forum will begin 6 p.m. with a public exhibition and display outside Fick Auditorium. Newell said in addition to attending, community members had the opportunity to participate by submitting a reflection or anonymous secret about their experience as a bully, bystander or victim.

Original reflections in the form of videos, artwork, essays, poetry, music, rap, oral histories and photography were accepted for the display, as well as “EdinaSecrets” – anonymous reflections submitted via postcard inspired by PostSecret.com A screening of the short film “Bullied” will begin at 7 p.m. It was produced by the Southern Poverty Law Center to tell the story of Jamie Nobozny, a high school stu-

Day of Remembrance The Edina Human Rights and Relations Commission is also hosting a Holocaust Day of Remembrance open house 2-4 p.m.

Sunday, May 1, at Edina City Hall, 4801 W. 50th St. Commission Chair Jessi Kingston said the idea for the event, held in conjunction with the nationwide weeklong Days of Remembrance, came from a resident.

Community members are invited to remember the victims of the Holocaust as well as reflect on the need for respect of all people at the open house.

“We’re excited about this,” said Commission member John Cashmore. “I think it’s going to be a good event where people can talk about the meaning of the [Days of Remembrance].”

There will be displays about the Holocaust, which resulted in six million Jewish people murdered between 1933 and 1945 by Nazi Germany, as well as a formal presentation at 3 p.m. and refreshments.

Mayor Jim Hovland will present a proclamation adopted by the Edina City Council Tuesday, April 5, recognizing Sunday, May 1, through Sunday, May 8, as Days of Remembrance in memory of the victims of the Holocaust and in honor of the survivors, rescuers and liberators.

The proclamation, along with a guest book from the Day of Remembrance will be sent to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.

dent in Wisconsin who was a victim of school bullying.

Newell said the Southern Poverty Law Center typically deals with civil rights issues, and Nobozny was bullied for being gay. The “Reflections on Bullying” event, she said, is not a onedimensional program.

“Anyone can be bullied,” youth and adults included, said Newell, who was raised in the south in the ’60s. “I saw a lot of adults change because the young people said it’s not OK anymore.”

At 8 p.m., a panel of experts from around the community will lead forum “Making the World a Place Where Bullying Doesn’t Happen.” Liz Collin of WCCO will moderate. Panelists include Rachael Pream Grenier, Youth Development and Youth Service manager at Edina High School.

Pream Grenier said bullying is not frequently reported to administrators and counselors at the school.

“We don’t hear about it. I think it happens but we don’t see it. Maybe those who are bullied don’t want to tell on the person who is bullying them because it is scary,” said Pream Grenier, who said she’d address that issue during the discussion.

According to recently released data from the 2010 Minnesota Student Survey – a statewide survey conducted every three years among students in grades 6, 9 and 12 – the number of students reporting being bullied in Edina decreases as ages increase.

The survey defines bullying as being made fun of or teased in hurtful way, or being excluded. In 2010, 50 percent of Edina students in grade 6, 41 percent of students in grade 9 and 30 percent of students in grade 12 reported being bullied in the past 30 days.

Pream Grenier said cyber-bullying, which happens off-campus, seems to be more prevalent. She’ll be joined on the panel by Edina senior Koal Williams, who spoke out when she saw a fellow student using his Facebook status to bully another.

“I think it’s really important for the event to take place,” Pream Grenier said. “It’s important for us to take a stand as a community against all bullying. That in and of itself can make a difference.”

Woman wanted in suspected area identity theft surrenders Cahlaway turned self in after being named to County’s 10 Most Wanted

BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS A woman named to Hennepin County’s Top 10 Most Wanted List last month in connection with an identity theft in Edina has turned herself in.

Julie Marie Cahlaway, 31, surrendered herself to the Hennepin County Sheriff ’s Office Monday, March 21, said Lisa Kiava, public information officer with the Sheriff ’s Office.

Cahlaway was added to the Most Wanted List along with three others in early March

by Sheriff Rich Stanek. She was wanted on a warrant for allegedly racking up more

than $10,000 in expenses, including a vacation to Grand Cayman Islands with lodging at the Ritz Carlton, on a credit card she opened in a co-worker’s name.

According to felony charges filed in Hennepin County District Court in February, Cahlaway obtained an Edina woman’s personal information when they were both employed at Scicom Data Services in Minnetonka.

Using the victim’s name, birth date and Social Security number, she opened a Bank of America Julie Cahlaway credit card in December 2009. The victim did not find out about the theft until contacted by a collection agency in August 2010. Other items charged to the card included attorney’s fees, dining, clothing and air travel.

Day grew up in Ohio and moved to Richfield after marring her husband, Whittier, in 1940.

She has held many jobs. Day started before World War II as a social worker.

She then became a settlement house director during WWII. While the direc-

Emily Day

tor she formed day camps for children, which was unheard of during the war.

She later went back to school and earned her teaching certificate at the University of Minnesota. Soon after she became an elementary teacher at Richfield East Elementary School. At this time there were 12 elementary schools in Richfield, but over the years, due to enrollment drops, many of those schools closed including Richfield East.

She continued to teach in the Richfield school district until she retired.

Day has four children, two girls and two boys. She has nine grandchildren and one great-grand child.

For all of her work at the Wood Lake Nature Center, Day will be honored at

the Friday, April 29, Friends of Wood Lake Nature Center Benefit Dinner.

Day was a founding member of the Wood Lake Nature Center Board approximately 20 years ago.

In honor of the Days’ a special fund, the “Emily and Whittier Day Bench Replacement Fund,” has been established.

Some of Day’s favorite times were when her and her husband would sit around Wood Lake watching the wildlife and just taking in the nature that surrounded them.

Whittier passed away 25 years ago.

Emily Day has filled her time by enriching the students in the Richfield Public Schools and helping make her community a better place to live.

Signs of protest Margie Andreason protests KDWB April 15 for a song the station aired March 22 regarding the Hmong community during Dave Ryan’s morning show. The protest took place at the offices of KDWB and parent company Clear Channel in St. Louis Park. The song, called “30 Hmongs in a House” was offensive to many in the Hmong community. TakeAction Minnesota’s Hmong Organizing Program sought a more significant apology from the radio station and its parent Clear Channel and actions including diversity training for employees, airtime to discuss the matter and provide education about Hmong people.

Spring musical hits home for Edina High School seniors ‘The Apple Tree’ shows set for April 28-30

What’s Next What: “The Apple Tree” Where: Edina High School Performing Arts Center, 6754 Valley View Road, Edina When: 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 28, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 29, and 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Sunday, April 30 Price: $12 reserved, $8 adult general admission, $6 student and senior general admission Info: edinatheater.org

BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS High school seniors face a lot of big decisions.

The costly private school or budgetfriendly community or state college. The thought-provoking art degree or practical engineering degree. A summer job or final summer of freedom before adulthood.

Madeleine Rowe, a senior at Edina High School, has her sights set on Los Angeles or New York City. She said after taking general courses at Normandale Community College next year, she plans to pursue acting in one of the cities.

“My parents give me this look like it’s not very practical,” said Madeleine. “It’s a big dream, but I really have that passion.”

The student producer for Edina’s spring musical said she and many of her peers, as they prepare to begin a new stage in life, relate to characters in “The Apple Tree,” playing April 28-30.

“The whole show is about which decision you’re going to make, and whether it’s the right decision,” said junior Aria Shahghasemi, student director.

“The Apple Tree,” with music by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon

Edina High School’s spring musical “The Apple Tree” shows Thursday, April 28, to Sunday, April 20, in the Edina Performing Arts Center.

(Submitted graphic) Harnick – the duo behind “Fiddler on the Roof ” – tells three stories from three time periods but on the same theme, said Edina Theater Director Tony Matthes.

In the first, “The Diary of Adam and Eve” as told by Mark Twain, Eve decides to eat the forbidden apple in pursuit of

knowledge, but had she known what would follow, she might have abstained.

The second act, “The Lady or the Tiger?” by Frank R. Stockton, is the “story of a kingdom where the king had his own system of justice,” said Matthes.

In the kingdom, men who do wrong are placed in an arena with two doors.

Behind one is a tiger, and the other, a beautiful woman he must marry. The king’s daughter takes interest in a common man, which angers the king. The man is put in the arena, but the daughter is able to learn which door will reveal the tiger. Armed with the knowledge, she must choose whether to send her man to another woman or to certain death.

Feiffer, follows Ella, a chimneysweep.

“One night while watching TV, a fairy godmother comes out of the set,” said Matthes. “Ella is given a wish and says she wants to be someone famous.”

But dealing with fame and the criticism that comes along with it isn’t what she thought it would be.

Joan Sullivan, a senior and the show’s stage manager, said they’re all stories of temptation. But Joan, who’s taking a less-beaten path next year, said temptation and the right decision can go hand in hand.

She’ll move to Madrid, Spain, for nine months to perfect her Spanish speaking skills after graduation. When she returns she’ll be better prepared to study language and international business at college, she said.

For her final show at Edina, senior Alli Stark decided to leave the spotlight for a behind-the-scenes job.

“I love being on stage but I wanted to try something different,” said Alli, student choreographer for the show: “It’s interesting being on the other side and hearing the adult directors talk. I’ve learned a lot.”

Reed Mosiman, a senior with her first lead role, is playing Eve in the show’s 26strong cast.

Richfield Sun-Current – Thursday, April 21, 2011 – www.minnlocal.com

Benefit FROM PAGE 1A The event featured local celebrity emcee John Hines.

Hines is heard regularly on WCCO radio. In 2006, Hines was given the Tom Rivers Humanitarian Award from the Country Radio Broadcasters Organization for his outstanding community service.

Special guest speaker was celebrity fisherman Steve Pennaz.

Pennaz’s credentials include 14 years as editor of the magazine “North American Fisherman,” newspaper columnist, speaker, radio personality, award-winning photographer and host of the television show “North American Fisherman.”

Pennaz spoke about the rising epidemic of ‘Nature Deficit Disorder.’

Although this is not a true disorder, NDD refers to the alleged trend of children spending less time outdoors resulting in a wide range of behavioral issues.

Richard Louv coined the term in his 2005 book “Last Child in the Woods.”

“Our urban environment is having a profound affect on our natural environment,” Pennaz said.

Pennaz spoke about having his children outside and how has impacted their moods. Pennaz has a special needs child and believes natural settings provide a restorative and calming effect on his son’s brain.

Children spending time in nature reduces stress, makes them more focused, enhances social emotional development, school performance, creativity, problem-solving abilities, selfcontrol, self-esteem and health, according to the Richfield Optimists.

For all these reasons and more, the club will continue to support, ‘No Kids Left Indoors.’

“No Kids was the biggest project that we had ever undertaken, but with our optimism, positivism and a whole lot of hard work it was a huge success and we decided to do it all over again,” event chair and Optimist Karen Carlson said.

The Richfield Sun-Current is now on Twitter.

Richfield Public Safety Barry Fritz said.

Assistance was given by Edina, Bloomington and Airport Police Departments. “[Jun Bo] security personnel admitted and said it was getting out of hand and it was out of their control,” Fritz said.

Jun Bo’s attorney Boris Parker disputed that series of events.

“No arrests were made, no fight happened and the 300 patrons peacefully exited the premises,” Parker said.

Fritz noted that there was a bloody patron and they had no idea how he had gotten blood on him, but at that point the two officers there called for backup.

“We had 16 units that responded. We generally do not arrest in situations like this because it will excite the crowd more,” Fritz said.

During the March 16 council meeting, disciplinary matters were heard and city staff and the restaurant’s owners reached a settlement agreement.

Subsequently, on March 28, the restaurant was accused of unlawful sale to a minor.

According to the police report, the minor stated, “They just let me in.”

When asked by the officer, the minor responded that he was not carded at the door. The officer noted the minor was wearing a white wristband, which denotes the bearer is over 21 and able to be served alcohol. When asked about where the minor had gotten it, he told the officer it had been given to him by the restaurant.

“I have never in 37 years seen anything like this. We have spent more time and more money on this, and still, in your mind, no violations were made,” Fritz said.

Jun Bo’s representatives denied the alleged unlawful sale offense, but did admit to a May 9, 2010, underage sale violation and said they would comply with the mandatory five-day alcohol license suspension and $1,000 fine.

Jun Bo made a proposal to implement a new policy forbidding any minors in the establishment after a time set by the city council.

Jun Bo also proposed that in addition to the 20 security personnel currently on staff, they would hire, at no cost to the city, two off-duty officers.

These officers would be employed at Jun Bo events with high projected attendances.

These new conditions and the admittance to the May 9, 2010, violation would be an appropriate disciplinary action

from the city allowing Jun Bo to acquire renewal of its liquor license until Sept.

30, according to Parker.

Richfield Public Safety’s Fritz disagreed.

“It is a liquor establishment. It is serious. We do not have any indication from [HKD Lo, Inc.] that they are taking this seriously. All we ever do is get promises from them. It has been one thing after another,” Fritz said.

All of the council members agreed the establishment is a danger to the Richfield community.

“In my time as mayor, I have never seen such a bad apple in this town. You have spent more of our resources and time. We don’t have the money to do this.

We have done everything we could to help you be a better business, and you have proven us wrong,” Mayor Debbie Goettel said to Jun Bo. According to Parker, Jun Bo will appeal the resolution and feels that the council passed it out of anger.

January claims three firsts for winning Richfield squad

E

Tyler Jegtvig The Richfield baseball co-captain batted .667 with two doubles, three singles, a sacrifice fly and four walks in his team’s first three games. He scored 10 of Richfield’s 18 runs and finished with five RBI and five runs scored as the Spartans went 2-1.

BY GREG KLEVEN • SUN NEWSPAPERS Richfield has lofty ambitions for its 2011 girls track season after placing third at state a year ago.

The Spartans would like to contend for Classic Suburban Conference and state Class AA championships with a talented returning class led by all-state standout Jessica January, a sophomore.

January appeared to be in mid-season form during the Spartans’ triangular meet April 12 at home.

Richfield placed first with 80 points and finished ahead of Henry Sibley (64) and Hill-Murray (42).

“It was a great meet for our team,” said Richfield head coach Pat Burns.

“Our new kids showed much improvement in this meet.

“January is running better than ever and appears to be ahead of where she was at this time last season.”

January is the defending state champion in the 100- and 300-meter hurdle events. She also placed third in the long jump at state as a freshman.

January took first in the 300 hurdles with a time of 47.44 seconds in the Spartan triangular. Senior Sara Tseng finished second (50.07).

January and Tseng were also first and second in the 100 hurdles with times of 15.46 and 16.84 seconds.

January added a first-place effort of 18 feet, 3 inches in the long jump. Tia Rowe placed second (15-8) and Emily Wangerin was third (14-7).

Richfield’s first-place 4x100 relay consisted of Oshai Callaway, Chakia HallWatley, Wangerin and Kelsey Metz.

Rowe won the 400 in 1:05 and Melina Alston was second (1:07).

Callaway placed first in the 200 (28.69). Hall-Watley was third (30.27).

Leah Mohn was fourth in the 800 (2:51).

RICHFIELD NOTEBOOK

Spartans host eight-team softball tourney

Richfield compiles 4-1 record relying on clutch hitting, solid pitching

BY GREG KLEVEN • SUN NEWSPAPERS This spring’s inclement weather has not hindered Richfield’s baseball team.

The Spartans are off to one of their best starts in many seasons.

Richfield improved to 4-1 with a 6-5 victory over North St. Paul April 14 at home. The Spartans have been winning with solid pitching and defense plus clutch hitting.

Andy Petersen’s walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh provided the margin of victory in the North St. Paul game. He also was the winning pitcher after working 1 1/3 innings of relief.

Cam Dearing and Andre Hill were the other two Spartan pitchers.

P.J. Peterson contributed a two-run double in the third.

“Our pitching has been very good this season,” said Richfield coach David Boie. “We are not giving up many walks and the defensive play has been good.”

Richfield blanked South St. Paul 5-0 April 13. Winning pitcher Jordan Zoellmer threw a two-hitter and struck out four. He issued no walks.

“Jordan pitched a fantastic game,” said Boie. “He got ahead of the hitters and kept throwing strikes.”

Tyler Klopp had two hits and scored two runs. He was credited with one RBI. Richfield overpowered Simley 12-2 in an April 11 game shortened to five innings because of the 10-run rule.

Six Richfield batters had two or more hits. Mick Dhein had three hits, including two doubles, and drove in three runs.

Klopp came through with three hits and three RBI. Tyler Jegtvig supplied two hits and knocked in three runs.

Other top Spartan hitters were Dearing (two hits), Nick Olson (two hits, one RBI) and P.J. Peterson (two hits, two RBI).

Richfield defeated Virginia 4-2 in nonconference action April 8. Zoellmer was the winning pitcher and Derek Pederson earned a save.

“As a physician with hearing loss since childhood, I have used a number of audiology services over the years. None has been more competent, friendly and had a more homelike atmosphere than the office of Audiology Concepts. The office treats me the way I would hope my own office treats my patients”.

Dr. James Rhode, Edina Family Physicians

Physicians trust the Doctors of Audiology at Audiology Concepts….You Will Too! At Audiology Concepts we understand that people are bombarded on a daily basis with hearing aid advertisements, direct mail, internet sales and options to buy hearing aids in the same stores where one buys toilet paper! There are several reasons why you will chose Audiology Concepts as your partner in hearing: 1. At Audiology Concepts we complete a comprehensive hearing evaluation and work closely with physicians when needed. Doctors of Audiology have 8 years of schooling, and supervised clinical requirements to ensure we are trained at diagnosing all types of hearing loss, tinnitus and recognizing the signs of a more serious auditory or vestibular (balance) related problem.

2. Audiology Concepts has a reputation for concierge level attention. Service and more importantly, timely service, is key in keeping our patients hearing well at all times. Audiology Concepts provides “loaner” devices to our patients should their hearing aid need repair and will see any patient within 24 hours should their hearing aid fail. Unfortunately many new hearing aid users don’t understand how important is the service involved in the life of their hearing aid. At Audiology Concepts we go above and beyond because we care. Your hearing is

important to you….every day. Here’s just a few of the services we provide that you won’t find in the large retail stores: loaner hearing aids (for instruments in repair), a Pay It Forward program; trade in options; demo hearing aids and accessories; complimentary insurance coverage check and claim submissions. Audiology Concepts is a provider for most major insurance companies to include Medicare and MN Health Care.

3. Our patients have the opportunity to be fit with demo hearing aids and wear them for a period of time (generally one week) in their own life environments. This provides an experience from which our patients can use to help determine their choice of product and technology choice based on experience. There is never a charge for this opportunity.

4. Audiology Concepts represents only the leading manufacturers in hearing aid products. There is no one product that is appropriate for all persons, therefore, the patients of Audiology Concepts have a variety of manufacturers and levels of hearing aid technology to choose from. Today’s options include Bluetooth/wireless options such as Oticon’s Connectline; Lyric extended wear hearing aids and even “reading glasses for your ears” such as

Highway 169, I-494 project officially gets underway

BY PAUL GROESSEL SUN NEWSPAPERS There were no ceremonial shovels, but area officials kicked off the Highway 169 and Interstate 494 interchange reconstruction Thursday, April 21, with actual construction work going on in the background.

Work on the $125 million project began late last year, but area mayors, county and state officials made their comments at the reception and open house, scheduled before major construction work was set to begin.

The Highway 169 and Interstate 494 project officially kicked off Thursday, April 21, with a ceremony inside the Hellmuth & Johnson PLLC building on West 78th Street.

Preliminary work began in early December with the closure of ramps from eastbound and westbound West 78th Street onto Highway 169. (Paul Groessel • Sun Newspapers)

Mayor Nancy Tyra-Lukens all noted that the project will save money, lives and improve the quality of life for the area and its travelers.

Hovland said traffic problems should be alleviated for the 175,000 motorists that go through the interchange everyday, and it should reduce the hundreds of accidents that occur on it.

“It’s going to have regional significance,” he said.

The interchange project will add six freeway-to-freeway ramps and six roundabouts in Bloomington, Eden Prairie and Edina. It will also eliminate three sets of stoplights at the end of Highway 169, turning the congestion-prone expressway into a freeway.

Over the course of construction, which is expected to last until November 2012, overnight or weekend lane closures are expected on Highway 169, and at least one full weekend closure of both Highway 196 and I-494.

The bulk of the construction is set to take place this year, which includes freeway, frontage road and bridge construction, according to a construction schedule distributed at the open house.

Northbound Highway 169 reconstruction is expected from late April through early July, with all traffic re-routed to the southbound lanes.

Then, it will switch, with traffic re-routed to northbound lanes INTERCHANGE: TO NEXT PAGE

FROM PREVIOUS PAGE while work is done on the southbound lanes, which is expected through late November.

Mark Olsen, a project manager with contractors C.S. McCrossan and Edward Kraemer and Sons, said one main closure will come in July, when Highway 169 and I-494 will be closed for a weekend to raise the grading of northbound side of the highway.

The frontage road work and installation of six new roundabouts are expected this year, which will be worked on from May to fall 2011.

Adjusting to roundabouts was one thing that long-time Bloomington residents Gary and LeAnn Sweet said they and others will have to adjust to, but the project has been a long-time coming.

“I’m excited about it,” LeAnn Sweet said. “It’ll be a new experience. I think it’s going to be a nice project. I’ll be a nice project to have over with.”

Gary Sweet said the biggest benefits will be getting rid of the stoplights on Highway 169 and hopefully improving the interchange from westbound I-494 to southbound Highway 169.

The Sweets, who live near the southeast corner of the interchange, said Marth Road could be a problem for residents of the Friendship Village senior housing community in Bloomington.

Marth Road at the north end of the residences, now a one-way street, will be converted to a two-way street with connection under Highway 169 to West 78th Street.

With that conversion, they will lose direct access to Highway 169 from Highwood Drive, which will be turned into a cul-de-sac.

LeAnn Sweet said she expects an increase in traffic on Marth Road, and it could make getting in and out of the residence difficult for many who live there, a concern some building residents have voiced as well.

Minnesota Department of Transportation Project Manager Michael Beer has said the unique design of the project, which utilizes six flyover freeway ramp connections rather than standard cloverleaf design, and several roundabouts to create a circulating network of frontage roads will take getting used to.

By federal standards, eight ramps are usually required for this type of interchange, but MnDOT made an agreement with the Federal Highway Administration to create six ramps and make adjustments later if needed, including adding two more ramps. That move cut about $20 million from the initial cost, allowing it go ahead. The project was originally scheduled for 2004, but lacked adequate funding.

The two excluded ramps are eastbound I-494 to northbound Highway 169, and southbound Highway 169 to eastbound I-494. It's expected that motorists will use Highway 212 between Highway 169 and I-494 instead, said Beer.

As part of the project, a new Washington Avenue Bridge will be constructed over I-494, adding a north-south connection to Marth Road. That will allow traffic to drive around the Highway 169 and I-494 interchange from Washington Avenue to West Bush Lake Road, also creating additional ways to access the freeways.

Information and updates about the project are available on the MnDOT website, dot.state.mn.us, and through a project information line.

Society members come from all social, religious, and economic backgrounds, finding unity in their mutual attraction of the simplicity of the cremation rite. They choose to dispense with costly and unnecessary pomp associated with conventional funerals, and commit themselves and their families to this dignified disposition at the time of death.

Q. How does the Cremation Society of Minnesota Work?

A. The Cremation Society is notified immediately at the time of death. Then the member’s body is transported to the Society’s crematory where it is held until proper medical authorization is secured. The cremation permit is then completed, and the body is cremated.

Q. What happens to the ashes after cremation?

A. Your cremated remains (ashes) will be handled according to your written instructions. They may be picked up by your survivors, or will be delivered or mailed for a fee.

Q. At the time of death, what is the cost for the cremation service?

A. The cost of the basic cremation service which includes removal of the body from the place of death, cremation, filing of the necessary papers and cardboard container suitable for burial is presently $1395.00 for members. This is payable at the time services are rendered. The charge to non-members, whom we also service, is more.

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.

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

2) Repair or replace a damaged chimney crown.

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

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

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

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

3) Waterproof your masonry chimney and crown.

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

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

Water damage to chimneys is usually a slow subtle process.

The problem is generally not obvious until it has become quite serious. Although these prevention measures may cost you a few dollars they can save you a lot more by preventing large future masonry repairs. The Hartmann’s at AirBroom Minnesota in Excelsior offer free no obligation repair estimates in the Western Metro area. Call John, Jim, or Lynda today to arrange a free no obligation estimate. Visit us at AirBroomMinnesota.com or call us at 952.545.2254. As a bonus, repair jobs over $750 scheduled with us prior to May 31st receive $100 off when you mention this article.
