Barbershop harmony lives on Bloomington’s Good Times chorus gathers for a cappella singing BY MIKE HANKS • SUN NEWSPAPERS Just about every Tuesday night Harlan Mellem of Bloomington heads out to the Bloomington Eagles Club hall for a couple hours of camaraderie. But it’s not cold beer and conversation that draws Mellem and more than 20 other men to the Eagles each week. They gather for the joy of singing. “I’ve sang all my life,” Mellem said. “I enjoy it so much that I keep on singing.” Mellem, 80, joined the Good Times chorus of Bloomington 34 years ago, after his youngest child had graduated from high school. The barbershop-style singing appealed to Mellem, and the social aspect of the group has kept him coming back. Barbershop-style singing is often thought of as a quartet. Members of the Good Times chorus can be found singing in quartets, particularly on Valentine’s Day, when they deliver singing telegrams across the Twin Cities. Throughout the year, however, barbershop singers gather in groups around the area to produce that same vocal harmony on a larger scale. Singing a cappella is more challenging than singing as part of a traditional chorus, but the end result of barbershop singing is highly rewarding, according to Mellem. The epitome of barbershop harmony is making a chord ring, according to Wayne Rasmussen of Maplewood, another Good Times member. When done properly, fourpart a cappella harmony can produce a fifth

Living in Oakdale, she traded short commutes to Stillwater for longer commutes to Bloomington, and did so because the Good Times chorus is a less competitive organization, which meant a less stressful and demanding schedule, she
A security guard was injured during a scuffle with a periodic Mall of America visitor who has been arrested for theft and trespassing several times. The 19-year-old Minneapolis man was arrested April 7 and faces a possible felony charge of obstruction after the security guard who attempted to arrest the man was injured. The suspect, who has been banned from the mall due to his previous incidents, was confronted outside a shoe store on the first floor of the mall. As the officer attempted to arrest the man for trespassing the man attempted to flee. The scuffle sent both men to the floor, with the security officer gashing his

Rygg was hired as the music director last summer, bringing to Bloomington her expertise as the 24-year director of the Stillwater chapter of the Sweet Adelines, the female counterpart to male barbershop singing. Rygg organizes and runs the rehearsals and directs the chorus during its

Restrictions approved for police shooting range Neigborhood residents still want range use discontinued BY MIKE HANKS • SUN NEWSPAPERS The Bloomington Police Department will adhere to several restrictions when using its shooting range on the city’s west side, the Bloomington City Council decided Monday. The council unanimously approved the proposal struck after representatives of the city and police department met with residents from the neighborhood west of the range earlier this month. The proposal allows the police department to use the facility up to 30 days per year. Its use will be limited to weekdays from 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. and the department will provide a sevenday notice to neighborhood residents when a training drill is scheduled. The range will no longer be used for
training exercises by the city’s SWAT team, reducing the noisiest use of the facility. The SWAT team will now conduct its drills outside the city, which will reduce the use of the range to no more than 30 days per year, according to Environmental Health Manager Lynn Moore. Residents – some of whom have lobbied for discontinuing use of the range – will receive notice of scheduled training drills, but testing of a single firearm, such as a gun that was recently purchased or repaired, would be exempt from the notification, Moore noted. The Hampshire Avenue range is city property adjacent to a neighborhood and industrial park a few blocks east of Bush Lake Road, off of 106th Street. The range is on the same site as the city’s west maintenance garage. It has been in use for 36 years and predates the neighborhood to its west. Residents in the adjacent neighborhood oppose the noise generated by the range. Last year the police depart-
ment conducted sound tests at the residential property line closest to the range, which is buffered by a 211-foot undeveloped area to its west and a berm to the north. From the east property line of the closest home the city’s Environmental Health staff found the decibel level of eight officers firing pistols and rifles exceeded the noise code. That prompted the council to consider a noise exemption for the range and allowing its continued use on a restricted basis. After discussing the matter last month, the council called for the meeting between city officials and neighborhood residents. Residents still want to see the shooting range abandoned, according to Matt Birhanzel, who lives in the neighborhood west of the range. If other cities can afford to conduct their outdoor training exercises outside their city limits, Bloomington can do so too, he told the council. The police department typically uses the outdoor range for one of four

annual qualification drills. The remaining three drills are conducted at South Metro Public Safety Training Facility, a shared indoor facility in Edina. It is estimated that moving outdoor training exercises elsewhere, such as a facility in Scott County, would cost near $20,000 per year for facility rental plus overtime costs for officers. With a facility in Bloomington many officers participate in the outdoor drill during a regularly scheduled shift. Moving the outdoor drill, which provides training conditions that can’t be replicated indoors, would add personnel costs because the training would have to be scheduled and paid for outside of regular departmental duties, Police Chief Jeff Potts said. The council will review the range’s use annually under the new operating guidelines. Councilmember Steve Peterson said the facility is a benefit to the city, and the cost of it is borne by those who live in the adjacent neighborhood.

This study session is an extension of these efforts,” Mayor Gene Winstead said. “We are so fortunate that our city and school district have essentially the same boundaries,

Cell phone abilities call out 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 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,
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thanks for supporting local Chambers To the editor: On behalf of the Edina and Bloomington Chambers of Commerce we would like to extend a thank you and our deep appreciation to Deputy Majority Leader Sen. Geoff Michel, R-41, which includes Bloomington and Edina, for assisting with the planning of our annual B.E.E.R. (Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina, Richfield Chambers of Commerce) program. The Legislative Update by Majority Leader Senator Amy Koch, R-19, was held Wednesday, March 30, at the Edina Country Club. Over 200 Chamber members heard from the majority leader on the budget, healthcare, and stadium issues that are crucial issues for this session. Michel has been a long-standing supporter of the Edina and Bloomington Chambers and has been instrumental in moving the Chamber initiatives forward. He is always looking out for the businesses in the communities he represents. Again, we would like to thank Sen. Geoff Michel for his service and assistance. Maureen Scallen Failor Executive Director, Bloomington Chamber Arrie Larsen Manti President, Edina Chamber
and, yes, alarm clocks. It boggles the mind to think of how many other machines they replace. It is amazing just how dialedin 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 ability 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-month-old 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.

Reduce harmful chemicals that may be in your home BY ANGIE TIMMONS GUEST COLUMNIST Whether you have children, pets or just a general concerns about your health, there are easy ways to reduce your exposure to harmful chemicals at home. Here are some tips to reduce the amount of hazardous products in your home: • Look for products that list all their ingredients on the label. Generally, fewer ingredients are better. • Use a multi-purpose cleaner rather than buying many specialty cleaners.
• Use single-ingredient products that serve several functions such as: baking soda, white vinegar, lemon juice or salt. • Look for products that are made from plant-based materials like citrus, seed, vegetables, herbs or pine oils. • Choose products that have low or no volatile organic compounds. These are toxic chemicals that are released into the air and are often contained in products such as paint, chlorine bleach and oven cleaners. REDUCE: TO NEXT PAGE

Reduce FROM PREVIOUS PAGE • Look for chlorine-free products and water-based glues, adhesives and paints. Overall, try to choose the least toxic product to do the job. A product with the signal word “Caution” on its label is less hazardous than a product with the signal word “Warning,” “Danger” or “Poison.” Many people are switching to homemade cleaners to reduce exposure to hazardous chemicals and save money. Inexpensive ingredients like baking soda, vinegar and dish soap often clean just as well as store-bought products. You can find more information about non-toxic cleaners www.reduce.org. If you have an unwanted product with any of the signal words (poison, danger, warning, caution), take any leftovers to your county household hazardous waste drop-off site. Visit RethinkRecycling.com/hhw to find your county’s HHW drop-off site and to learn about other common household items that require special disposal.

No more booze at Jun Bo Chinese Restaurant Richfield City Council declines liquor license renewal after public safety 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 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

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.

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

Barbershop FROM PAGE 1A explained. The Good Times chorus is a social outlet for many, but Rygg wanted the group to challenge itself. The chorus hadn’t sang competitively in more than five years, and she wanted the group to not only return to competition, but also to have a positive experience in doing so. Although the chorus didn’t advance to the district contest this fall in Rochester, the 16 members who participated in the April 2 divisional competition garnered complimentary remarks from the judges. “That was pretty good for 16 people on stage,” she said. Chorus members were pleased with the experience as well, and are looking forward to competing again, she noted. The chorus performs several times throughout the year. Good Times is one of several choruses that will perform July 12 during an annual concert at Como Park in St. Paul. Also on the summer schedule, singing the national anthem at a Minnesota Twins game, Rygg said. The group sings at area nursing homes during the winter holidays and is invited to perform at other events throughout the year, she noted.

It hasn’t always been that way. “We had quite a few young guys after I came in, quite young,” Mellem recalled.

noted. “They felt the way I did, you have to be there to support your kids,” he said. Like many other civic and social groups, the chorus has had a tough time attracting new members as demands upon personal time and recreational outlets increase, Mellem surmised. “We sure would like to gain some younger members,” Rygg said. Organizations such as Barbershop
11A
Harmony Society are working to attract young members to chapters across the United States and Canada, according to Mellem. Educational outreach and competitions specifically for young singers have been promoted in recent years to help foster a new generation of barbershop singers, he noted. What does it take to be a member of the Good Times chorus? You don’t have to know how to read music, but “you do have to be able to carry a tune,” Rygg said. “If you can talk, you can sing,” she assured. “We teach the art of barbershop harmony singing.” A board of directors governs the group. Members pay annual dues, and some members take on additional roles, such as chapter president. With a small group there is plenty to do outside of the Tuesday night rehearsals, Rygg noted. So why is it known as barbershop singing? “People really did sing at the barbershop,” according to Rasmussen. Decades ago the barbershop was a focal point in the community, a place where people went for medical services in addition to haircuts. Barbershops were a gathering place, as well, and harmonizing was a social aspect of hanging out at the barbershop, Rasmussen explained. Information about the Good Times chorus is available online at sing4me.net. The group meets 7 p.m. Tuesdays at the Eagles Club, 9152 Old Cedar Ave. S.

Edina to address bullying at April 26 forum Event at Edina High School includes display, film and panel discussion 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 proclamation 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.”
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 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
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. 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 student 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.

Bullying
WHAT’S NEXT
FROM PREVIOUS PAGE 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.
What: ‘Reflections on Bullying’ Where: Edina High School, 6754 Valley View Road, Edina When: 6 p.m. exhibit, 7 p.m. program, 8 p.m. dialogue Price: Free Info: cityofedina.com/humanrights
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.” In addition to the Human Rights and Relations Commission, the forum is cosponsored by Connecting With Kids, Edina Community Foundation, Edina Chamber of Commerce, Edina High School Gay Straight Alliance and Edina Resource Center.

Program about far more than just a dress It is much more than just a dress. “I am worrying about tuition, room and board and everything else for college. Prom is something I don’t want to have to worry about,” Richfield High School Senior Tenzin Gyalmo said. Tenzin was invited to the 2011 Ever After Boutique at Richfield High School on April 9.
“It was a privilege. I am honored to have had my counselor say I could come here. I am glad that there is something like this for people like me,” Tenzin said. More than 300 girls around the Twin Cities attended the Boutique. “Every girl who wanted a dress left with one,” Ever After co-founder Maggie Harris said. At the Boutique girls were allowed to pick out a prom dress, shoes, jewelry,

“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
Paula Schwartz, Au.D., Doctor of Audiology
the Starkey AMP. We will help you determine the product best suited for your hearing loss, lifestyle, cosmetic preferences and budget. 5. We are a Premier Provider of Lyric Hearing. Lyric Hearing is the first extended wear hearing device. Lyric is 100% invisible, no battery changes and provide natural hearing. 45 Day trials of Lyric Hearing are available at no charge 6. Physicians trust the audiologists at Audiology Concepts. Physicians refer their patients, family, friends and themselves to Audiology Concepts! They know we have all their patients’ best interest in mind. Physicians do not refer their patients to bulk retail stores or the internet for their medical products. 7. Visit our website at www.audiologyconcepts.com or follow us on Twitter and Face book! We believe that your hearing is very important in all areas of your life. It connects you with your family, friends and the world. We hope that you will call Audiology Concepts and schedule your first appointment with us. We will greet you with a smile, unparalleled service, professional staff and great coffee and cookies!

from their cases and pocketing them. He was apprehended without incident, Stehlik noted. Upon being searched police found four additional watches, valued at $120, in the man’s possession. Upon further investigation it was determined that the watches were stolen from Sears, Stehlik said. The man faces a possible burglary

charge – a more serious charge than theft – because of his previous citation for trespassing and his alleged theft from two mall stores, Stehlik explained. The man was previously arrested March 31, accused of stealing $2,400 worth of jewelry and watches from Bloomingdale’s, and in October 2010 for theft of a watch.
St. George’s Episcopal Church
A Normandale Community College student was arrested April 11 after he attempted to remove a computer hard drive from a classroom. The school’s surveillance cameras captured the 22-year-old Burnsville man attempting to stash the computer component under a stairwell in the building, Stehlik said. He had been reported trying to sell a computer and other items to students at the school earlier that day. Upon his arrest police found a laptop computer without a serial number and a hacksaw in the man’s backpack. Northfield police had contacted Normandale security personnel in March, noting they had probable cause to arrest the man for theft of a laptop in their city, Stehlik added. The suspect was arrested for theft in January regarding an incident involving musical instruments stolen from a locker. A flute valued at $1,830 and a piccolo valued at $1,000 were reported stolen during the school’s winter break. The owner had placed them in a padlocked locker Dec. 9. When she returned to school in January she found her locker had been broken into. Using the serial number for the flute police learned the instrument had been pawned by the suspect at Pawn America in Burnsville, according to Stehlik.

forehead on the tile floor, according to Bloomington Police Commander Mark Stehlik. The suspect’s arrest follows a busy winter at the mall. His run-ins with police at Mall of America include an arrest for theft and possession of marijuana Dec. 7, theft and outstanding warrants Dec. 31, theft and trespassing Jan. 4 and theft and trespassing Jan. 13.

Emotional journey put on film: 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 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
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) Decorah, Iowa. The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival will be its Minnesota debut.
St. Louis Park man’s documentary part of international film festival
“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, 1-800-273-8255, for individuals struggling with suicidal thoughts. The previous film screenings have been intense for Jed, he said. Jed is visi-
bly shaken during some scenes in the documentary. “I definitely could feel my heart beating 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 FILM: TO PAGE 30A

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 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 people 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. People from across the country have contacted Jed about the film, Sara said. “I think it kind of gives people a voice and encouragement,” she said. “Though it’s very personal, the fact it’s helping people all over the country is more powerful than just us.” To learn more about the film festival, visit mspfilmfest.org.

YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that there has been filed in this court a petition praying that the parent-child relationship between parents of the above-named child and the above-named child be terminated. The object of the action is to seek an order relinquishing the child to the Petitioner for adoption and to terminate the parent-child relationship. The child was conceived in April 2010 in Minneapolis, Minnesota and was born in Seattle, Washington on February 28, 2011. The child's birth mother is WAYNEVA CATHERINE WHITE EAGLE.
The court hearing on this matter shall be on the 9TH day of May 2011 at 9:00 a.m. in the King County Superior Court; address: King County Courthouse, Ex Parte Department, Court Room W-325, 516 Third Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98104. YOUR FAILURE TO APPEAR AT THIS HEARING MAY RESULT IN A DEFAULT ORDER PERMANENTLY TERMINATING ALL OF YOUR RIGHTS TO THE ABOVE-NAMED CHILD. NOTICE: State and federal law provide protections to defendants who are on active duty in the military service, and to their dependents. Dependents of a service member are the service member’s spouse, the service member’s minor child, or an individual for whom the service member provided more than onehalf of the individual’s support for one hundred eighty days immediately proceeding an application for relief. One protection provided is the protection against the entry of a default judgement in certain circumstances. This notice only pertains to a defendant who is dependent of a member of the national guard or a military reserve component under a call to active service for a period of more than thirty consecutive days. Other defendants in military service also have protections against default judgements not covered by this notice. If you are the dependent of a member of the national guard or a military reserve component under a call to active service for a period of more than thirty consecutive days, you should notify the plaintiff or the plaintiff’s attorney in writing of your status as such within twenty days of the receipt of this notice. If you fail to do so, then a court or an administrative tribunal may presume that you are not a dependent of an active duty member of the national guard or reserves, and proceed with the entry of an order of default and/or a default judgement without further proof of your status. Your response to the plaintiff or plaintiff’s attorneys about your status does not constitute an appearance for jurisdictional purposes in any pending litigation nor a waiver of your rights. You are further notified that any non-consenting parent or alleged father has a right to be represented by an attorney, and an attorney will be appointed for an indigent parent who requests an attorney. You are further notified that your failure to respond to the termination action within twenty days of service, if served within the state of Washington, or thirty days if served outside of this state, will result in the termination of the parent-child with respect to the child. You are further notified that your failure to file a claim of paternity under Chapter 26.26 RCW or to respond to the petition, within twenty days of the date of service of the petition is grounds to terminate your parent-child relationship with respect to the child. You are further noticed that you are the alleged father of an Indian child, that if you acknowledge paternity of the child, or if your paternity of the child is established prior to the termination of the parent-child relationship, that your parental rights may not be terminated unless you: (i) give valid consent to termination, or (ii) your parent-child relationship is terminated involuntarily pursuant to 26.33 or 13.34 RCW. One method of filing your response and serving a copy on the Petitioner is to send them your written response by certified mail with return receipt requested. WITNESS the Honorable RICHARD F.

Eryn Olson The Bloomington Jefferson senior finished third in the Minnesota Valley Invite golf tournament April 11 at the Bloomington country club. Olson shot 78 in the 18-hole event.
BY GREG KLEVEN • SUN NEWSPAPERS Bloomington Jefferson senior golfer Eryn Olson celebrated her 18th birthday a week ago by signing a National Letter of Intent to attend Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Ariz., next fall. Olson earned her college golf scholarship with hard work. She has lettered for the Jaguar golf team since eighth grade. Last season, Olson finished 26th in the state Class 3A golf tourney. She received all-conference and team Most Valuable Player awards for her efforts. Olson was named the Jaguars’ Best Underclassman as a sophomore. A recruiting service provided the college match for Olson with Grand Canyon University, a four-year Division II school. “I was looking for a smaller, private Christian school known for its education,” said Olson. “And I was also looking for a chance to play college golf in warm weather. “Grand Canyon is a good match for me academically and athletically. Now, I can play golf the year round. I felt very welcomed when I visited Grand Canyon.” Olson plans to major in sports management. “I would love to get a job working in a golf club retail shop or even managing a golf course,” said Olson. For now, Olson is focusing on finishing her prep golf career with a strong senior season. Olson started the season impressively by shooting a third-place score of 78 in the 18-hole Minnesota Valley Invite hosted by Jefferson April 11. Sara Burnham of Wayzata was medalist with a 74. The Trojans won the team title with a score of 327. Eden Prairie placed second (345), followed by Eastview (356), Eagan (362), Apple Valley (375), Jefferson (395) and Hopkins (398). “My swing felt good in that first

I am hitting the ball farther than I ever have and with more accuracy.” Olson developed a passion for golf at an early age. “I have been playing golf since I was years old,” said Olson. “And I have been involved in competitive golf since age 8.
“My dad [Steve] got me going in golf and I love it. He has about a 10 handicap playing regularly at the Wilds in Prior Lake. We have a great time playing together. And I can finally beat him once in a while.” Eryn also manages to get in a few rounds with her mother Sandy. Olson’s goal is to qualify for state again this season. She can concentrate on that goal with her college decision already made.

Kennedy is victim of one-run baseball losses Jaguar boys lacrosse season outlook is bright
Eagles lose 15-14 to Lakeville South, 3-2 to Eagan
Jefferson returns 14 players from last season
BY GREG KLEVEN • SUN NEWSPAPERS Bloomington Kennedy kept it close in two baseball games last week, but that was little consolation as the Eagles lost both. The Eagles (1-4) lost 15-14 to Lakeville South April 11. Kennedy trailed 11-0 but battled back to take a 14-13 lead entering the top of the sixth inning at Haddox Field. Lakeville South scored two unearned runs in the seventh to gain the victory. Arich Juberian led the Kennedy offense with three hits. Austin Nordby and Tanner Leeman had two hits apiece. Relief pitcher Zach Horn took the loss. Montana Schowalter and Mike Beaner were other Kennedy pitchers. “I was proud of our effort to come all the way back to take the lead,” said Kennedy coach Matt Hansen. “It would have been nice to close it out in the seventh with the win. “We can’t keep giving teams free runs and expect to win.” Kennedy was edged 3-2 in nine innings by Eagan April 13. The Eagles were limited to three hits. Horn, Kevin Houts and Tanner Leeman had one hit apiece. Nordby pitched seven innings and allowed only two runs. Josh Flanders threw 1 1/3 innings and was tagged with the loss. “We played well defensively but couldn’t get anything going offensively,” said Hanson. “It was a disappointing loss because the game was there for our taking from the fourth inning on.”

Jefferson struggled to a 4-10 boys lacrosse record last season. However, it was a valuable learning experience for 14 players who return for varsity action this season. “We could be a team that turns some heads this season,” said Jefferson head boys lacrosse coach Scott Cater. “Most of our returnees had lots of playing time last season. “We have a strong core group of defensive players. We are hoping to fight for one of the top spots in the South Suburban Conference this spring.” Senior defender Justin Woodley is among the key returnees. He was a second-team all-state selection and all-conference pick last season. “Justin led the team in takeaways last season,” said Cater. “He has a good allaround game and work ethic. “Justin is a strong candidate for high school All-American honors and will play at Division II C.W. Post next season.” The C.W. Post campus is on Long Island in New York. Two other experienced senior defenders for the Jaguars are Logan Dop and Griffin Clements. Other players expected to contribute are senior midfielder Nick Roffers, senior midfielder David Mortensen, senior midfielder Ryan Weiss, senior goalie Ben Kruger and senior attack Jack Straus. Cater expects newcomer Collin Garlock, a junior attack, to help the Jaguar varsity as well. Jefferson opened its season with a 1-1 record. The Jaguars defeated Edina 5-4 April 11 as Straus came through with four goals and one assist. Weiss added one goal. Mortensen and Joseph Graves had one assist each. Kruger made 15 saves. Jefferson lost 11-2 to Minnetonka April 16. Straus and Garlock scored one goal apiece. Weiss contributed two assists. Kruger made 17 saves. Jefferson will play at Benilde-St. Margaret’s in a non-conference game at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, April 21. Jefferson will host Rosemount at 6 p.m. Friday, April 29, on the Jaguars’ turf field.

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. From inside the Hellmuth & Johnson PLLC building on West 78th Street, Edina Mayor James Hovland, Bloomington Mayor Gene Winstead and Eden Prairie
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. Info: 1-877-563-4768.

At AirBroom Minnesota In Excelsior Can Help How does your chimney look? Are the bricks crumbling? Does it have White or Black exterior staining? Are you afraid to use your fireplace because you’re not sure how safe it is? When was the last time you used it? The professionals at AirBroom Minnesota Fireplace and Air Duct Cleaning in Excelsior can restore both your confidence and your chimney. Did you know that water causes more damage to masonry chimneys than fire? Your chimney, unlike other parts of your house, is constantly exposed to the elements. They are generally constructed of brick, mortar, tile, steel, and iron. All of these materials suffer deterioration as a result of prolonged contact with water. Freeze and thaw cycles so familiar here in the Twin Cities cause stress on the chimney. Water that has penetrated expands and contracts. Left unchecked it will cause interior and exterior damage to your home and masonry chimney. Some of the damage that can be caused includes: 1) spalled and broken exterior brickwork, 2) deteriorated masonry and metal firebox assemblies, 3) rusted dampers, 4) decayed mortar, cracked or missing flue liners, and in the worst case scenario damage to adjoining walls, ceilings, and woodwork. There are three main ways to prevent water damage. 1) Install a chimney cap. This is the most inexpensive measure to prevent water penetration to the flue and inside chimney elements. We sell and install locally manufactured caps for as little as $99.
Present this coupon after estimate
Ed Crandall and Dennis Imbody 612-607-0057 www.PROTECTPAINTERS.com
2) Repair or replace a damaged chimney crown. The crown sits atop your chimney and covers and seals it from the flue liners to the chimney edge. Many chimneys are built with an inadequate crown constructed from common mortar mix. Mortar is not designed for and will not withstand years of prolonged moisture exposure without cracking and chipping which allows water to penetrate the chimney. A proper crown is constructed of a Portland
cement mixture and formed to provide an overhang drip edge. This assures the water will shed helping to prevent erosion in the mortar and brick of the chimneys surfaces. Keeping the crown “watertight” and shedding away from the sponge like masonry elements that the chimney is built of is the most important element to preventing deterioration. At AirBroom Minnesota we use the industry leading line of Saver products to build and repair chimneys. Use of these products allows us to pass on manufacturers material warranties of up to 15 years to our clients. 3) Waterproof your masonry chimney and crown. Most masonry is porous and will absorb large amounts of water. Brick acts like a sponge absorbing water and wicking it to the chimney interior. Products we use are specifically developed for use as waterproofing agents on masonry chimneys. These are vapor permeable – which means they allow the masonry to breath out but not in. This allows water that has penetrated the chimney to escape while preventing additional water from entering from the outside. Non vapor permeable sealers commonly available should never be used because they trap moisture inside actually accelerating deterioration. We use a special permeable sealer with a 10 year consumer warranty to protect your chimney. Doing this before deterioration occurs can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in future repairs. Water damage to chimneys is usually a slow subtle process. The problem is generally not obvious until it has become quite serious. Although these prevention measures may cost you a few dollars they can save you a lot more by preventing large future masonry repairs. The Hartmann’s at AirBroom Minnesota in Excelsior offer free no obligation repair estimates in the Western Metro area. Call John, Jim, or Lynda today to arrange a free no obligation estimate. 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.
