Online school helps tennis player study from afar BY ROXI REJALI CONTRIBUTING WRITER Erik Nordahl wakes up at the crack of dawn to run sprints and two-mile runs. That’s a warm-up for at least four hours of tennis training and practice every day. It’s part of the 17-year-old’s plan to become a top-ranked college ten-
nis player and then hit the professional circuit. In United States Tennis Association (USTA) competition last year, Nordahl was ranked 25th nationally in the age 16 category. As an Edina high-school sophomore he was runner-up in the 2010 state singles tournament. As a freshman he won the 2009 state doubles championship with teammate Steven
Pjevach. “I’ve always loved tennis. I feel like I’m one of the most competitive people out there,” said Nordahl, currently a junior. Nordahl attended Bloomington schools through seventh grade and later attended and played tennis at Edina through open enrollment. TENNIS: TO PAGE 18

Plymouth woman works so that others can race BY MIKE HANKS • SUN NEWSPAPERS For the 19th consecutive year, Denise Blumberg-Tendle is not walking in the Race for the Cure. A breast cancer survivor, Blumberg-Tendle has never had the time to participate, she is too busy each year working as a volunteer during the race. That will be no different this year during the 19th annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, which begins and ends Sunday morning, May 8, outside Mall of America in Bloomington. Blumberg-Tendle of Plymouth had been a volunteer for the American Cancer Society when the first Race for the Cure was held in 1993. Her mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 1977, and had successful surgery and treatment, BlumbergTendle recalled. But years later her mother’s cancer returned. Her mother’s second bout with breast cancer ended with her death, a death that preceded Blumberg-Tendle’s own breast canCURE: TO PAGE 23

Legion offers Blue Star Banners to military families BY JEFF BARTHEL • SUN NEWSPAPERS INTERN Bloomington’s American Legion Post is issuing Blue Star Service Banners to anyone who has a spouse, child or grandchild currently in active service. The banners are commonly displayed in a window of one’s home to symbolize support of a loved one serving in the United States military.
“I come from a military family and two of my brother’s sons are in the military right now,” said K. John Hall, a member of the Earl C. Hill American Legion Post 550 in Bloomington. Hall recently picked up a two-starred banner for his mother, Eleanor Hall Abraham, whose grandchildren Mitchell and Kerneth are serving in the military. Mitchell is a helicopter pilot and
GET GROWING TODAY
with Linder’s.
Kerneth is serving with an infantry division in Afghanistan. “[Mitchell’s] helicopter was on the naval ship that deployed the navy seals who tried to save the Americans who were killed by Somali pirates,” Hall said. That incident occurred Feb. 22. Four U.S. citizens aboard a highjacked yacht were killed by Somali pirates. Mitchell’s helicopter is one of two aboard the USS Sterett, Hall noted. Hall, an Army veteran, serves on the Fort Snelling Memorial Rifle Squad, where his volunteer group has buried more than 57,000 military veterans with full military honors. Mitchell and Kerneth represent the two stars on Eleanor’s banner. Blue Star Service Banners can have up to five stars, each symbolizing a family member in active duty. According to the American Legion, the Blue Star Service Banner is a longstanding tradition dating back to 1917, when it was designed by World War I Army Captain Robert Queisser of the 5th Ohio Infantry. Queisser had
two sons serving on the front line. His banner became a symbol for parents who had a child serving in the military. The banner is an 8.5-by-14-inch white field with one or more blue stars sewn onto a red banner. Sizes of the banner may vary, but should be proportionate to the U.S. flag. If the individual symbolized is killed or died while in service, a gold star smaller than the blue star is superimposed so that the blue forms a border. If a banner displays multiple stars, the gold stars would be sewn on the right side of or above the blue stars as a place of honor nearest the staff. The banners were widely used during both world wars, but were not embraced during the Korean or Vietnam wars, according to the American Legion. Following Sept. 11, 2001, the American Legion rekindled the spirit of pride for military men and women by providing banners for military families throughout the nation.

Sky Deck brings new look to Mall of America venue Restaurant, bowling alley moves into vacant fourth floor location BY MIKE HANKS • SUN NEWSPAPERS There’s a new place for fun in your life at Mall of America, and it will have a familiar look to those who have visited the mall’s fourth floor in the past. Sky Deck Sports Grille & Lanes opened Monday, and the concept is nothing new to the mall. Sky Deck is the reopening of the former Jillian’s bowling alley and arcade that operated at the mall. Jillian’s closed about six years ago after being bought out by the Dave & Buster’s chain a year earlier. Monday’s opening marks the return of the corporate parent that first opened the bowling alley and entertainment center. The second coming of the bowling alley and entertainment complex differs from how Jillian’s was operated in the past, according to General Manager Brian Newman. Sky Deck will have a full menu of American cuisine — including burgers, sandwiches, steak and walleye — and a sports bar area with multiple projection and high-definition televisions in “a family-friendly venue,” he said.
The transformation from what used to be Jillian’s to what is now Sky Deck happened rapidly. The bowling lanes and infrastructure for the bar and restaurant have been sitting unused at the mall since the closing of Jillian’s in 2005. The bar and dining areas were reconfigured to increase seating space for the restaurant, but it took just weeks rather than months to ready Sky Deck for its 2011 debut, Newman explained. “It’s like buying a good house, you just have to put a facelift on it.” Several pool tables will be available at Sky Deck, and there is a variety of video games in the arcade. Multi-player racing games, classic video games of the 1980s and games of skill and chance that earn tickets toward prizes can all be found in the arcade area. The bowling alley features 12 lanes with cosmic lighting, as well as a sound and video system to liven up a 10-frame game. “The bowling alley will definitely have its own heartbeat,” Newman said. Sky Deck is available for corporate events, alumni gatherings and birthday
parties, catering to groups as large as 500, according to Jim Dobbe, the event sales manager for the venue. Mall of America approached JBC Entertainment Holdings, the corporate parent of Sky Deck, last fall about reopening the fourth floor venue, according to Newman. “Over the past few years, Mall of America ownership has explored different opportunities to bring the familyfriendly entertainment we have mallwide up to the fourth floor,” according to Dan Jasper, director of public relations for the mall. “We’re excited to welcome Sky Deck as we believe it will be a great place for families to visit to enjoy bowling, games and a great meal,” Jasper added. “We also think it will offer more for our male demographic as it will have multiple screens for the ultimate sports watching experience.” Sky Deck is open daily, 11 a.m. to 1 a.m., and is restricted to adults 21 and older at 10 p.m. It’s website, still in development, will be skydecklanes.com.

Women looking for wellness in their personal health, whether gynecologic, obstetrics, or fertility care, look to Clinic Sofia OB GYN, PA, at 6545 France Ave South, Suite 490, Edina, MN, www.clinicsofia.com. The newest physician to join Clinic Sofia is Dr. Suja Roberts who shares the clinic’s philosophy— giving women the tools to stay healthy will not only keep them vibrant but also influence the health and well-being of their families and the greater community. As a young girl, Dr. Roberts always wanted to be a caretaker. She grew up in a family in India who believed in service to its community. “My mother was the biggest influence in my life”, she explains, “She wanted me to have opportunity and be the best at what I wanted to be. Most importantly, though, my mother wanted me to be a humanitarian.” In addition to completing her medical school in India, she completed residency training at Loyola University in Chicago, Illinois. She is Board Certified with the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. She said that she gets “excited” when she can improve a patient’s quality of life. She considers it a blessing to be a physician and her professional happiness revolves around making her patients happy with caring for themselves. Dr. Roberts lives with her husband, college
age daughter, and two golden retrievers. She enjoys reading when not enhancing her medical skills. Clinic Sofia OB GYN, PA was founded in 2004 by Dr. Donna Block who envisioned a healthcare Dr. Suja Roberts environment that would empower women of all ages to advocate for their own health and wellness. Today, the clinic’s all-women staff uses the intuitive arts of observation, listening and communication in addition to the medical expertise in the areas of obstetrics and gynecology to meet the “whole” health needs of women—body, mind and soul. Servings thousands of patients, Clinic Sofia was recently voted “Best OB/GYN” by both the Edina Sun Current and Richfield Sun Current in the 2011 Annual “Reader’s Choice” awards, was featured in Mpls/St. Paul magazine, and was also ranked number one for overall customer satisfaction in a survey by Fairview Physician Associates in 2010.

Poor timing following a string of fraudulent transactions involving a lost credit card resulted in the arrests of a Bloomington woman and a Richfield man. The credit card belonged to a Bloomington man who had left it in his father-in-law’s vehicle April 8, according to Bloomington Police Commander Mark Stehlik. He received a call later that day from his credit card provider, questioning several transactions that had occurred during a short time period, including multiple transactions at Super America and Walmart stores. One of the incidents occurred at a Minneapolis liquor store. The liquor store did not have surveillance video of the transaction, so a Bloomington investigator sent a photo of the suspects, provided by another victimized business, to the liquor store to see if store employees recognized the suspects. A store employee looked at the picture and determined a man in the picture was a man in the store at that time, according to Stehlik. The suspect was wearing the same clothing as he was in the photo, Stehlik noted.

The employee responded immediately to the email and Bloomington police contacted Minneapolis, who were able to send police to arrest the man at the liquor store, Stehlik explained. A 51-year-old Richfield man and a 48year-old Bloomington woman were arrested in connection with the fraud. Through a pawnshop slip in the man’s pocket police were able to determine the identity of a third man suspected of participating in the fraud, according to Stehlik. The suspects claimed the credit card had been found in a discarded wallet laying on the street, but police have been unable to confirm who removed the wallet from the father-in-law’s vehicle, Stehlik noted.

This Mother’s Day, offer your help – not just your thanks BY SARAH PETERSON SUN NEWSPAPERS From my observations, mothers are often honored on Mother’s Day with a card, flowers and a simple “thank you.” Sometimes they are taken out to lunch at a restaurant – that’s one less meal to prepare and fewer dishes to wash, thank goodness. But that really doesn’t seem like much. So here’s a simple tip for husbands and significant others this Mother’s Day: Offer to help around the house, whether that means cooking, cleaning, laundry or other chores the wonderful woman in your life does regularly. If you’re ready to go beyond the basics, then ask her what
she thinks needs to be done. You’ll score some great brownie points that way. Not only are you helping her work on her own “honey-do” list, you’re also showing her that her priorities can be your priorities. You’re offering to share her burdens. That’s better than a bouquet of flowers any day. The best part is, you don’t have to wait for Valentine’s or Mother’s Day to roll around. This trick is good every day of the year. I hadn’t thought about it before, but this really does impress someone who does a lot of the household chores. Get out of work, go home, and there’s another long to-do list waiting for you on the table, and the list hasn’t changed
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Gov’t should not provide safety net To the editor: This is in regard to Dr. Alan Lifson's column last week: Dr. Lifson does not mention the most effective preventive for STI’s: abstinence. It has been known to work 100 percent of the time. If our sex education programs simply provide a manual for having safe sex while tacitly approving sex out of wedlock, we truly have failed our youth. We have also failed our youth if we do not treat these young people as adults. Dr. Lifson’s column seems to focus on the mid-teens to midtwenties age group. Once this group has had the causes and results of STI’s explained to them, let them make their
own decisions. It can be very hip and cool to be naughty but as adults, they should understand that there are consequences to their actions and that society cannot and will not always be there to bail them out of trouble they got themselves into. The legislature has no obligation to provide a safety net for “on purpose” behavior whether it is smoking, excessive drinking, illegal drugs, or sex out of wedlock. All of these acts begin with a voluntary action on the part of these young people. To blame the legislature for not providing a safety net for the consequences of irresponsible behavior while tacitly tolerating or even approving the very acts that create these consequences is not an answer. Bob Green Bloomington
much from when you wrote it two days ago. Maybe you’ve crossed one task off and added two more. I didn’t come up with this idea on my own. In fact, my own husband is the catalyst for this column. He called me one recent Wednesday afternoon as he was driving from work. He knew he would beat me home by at least an hour, so he called me at my office desk line. “Can you think of anything that needs to get done?” he asked. “You mean, in the way of chores at home?” I responded in wonder. Yep, that’s what he was calling about. He was saying that, although he was just leaving work, he was ready to go home
and start working on dishes, sweeping or vacuuming. He wanted to know, what’s on my to-do list, and what should he start on first when he gets home? I knew before that he was good, but I sometimes forget he’s that good. Bragging rights awarded, it wasn’t two minutes after I got off the phone that I had to tell some of my other married coworkers how lucky I am. Brownie points? Oh, you betcha. I think they’re the peanut-butterchocolate brownie kind. The ones that melt in your mouth and remind you of Reese’s peanut butter cups. The recipe he likes in particular. That kind of brownie points.

FBI seeks information about bank robbery suspect Robbery in Eden Prairie, attempted in Bloomington SUN NEWSPAPERS STAFF REPORT The FBI is seeking information about a man who robbed two banks and attempted to rob another bank Tuesday, April 26. The banks were located in Eden Prairie, Bloomington and Faribault, according to Richard T. Thornton, acting special agent in charge of the Minneapolis FBI Office. According to the FBI: Just before 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 26, an employee of the United Educator's Credit Union located at 7912 Eden Road, Suite B, in Eden Prairie, unlocked the bank's front door to allow a man into the bank. The man had been knocking on the door while waiting in the rain. The bank was scheduled to open at 8:30 a.m. The man had his back to the front door as it was being unlocked for business. Once the door was opened, the man turned around and displayed a handgun to the employee. He said, “This is a robbery. Don't call the police.” The robber walked to the teller counter and demanded money. The only teller on duty gave the robber an undisclosed amount of cash, including a dye pack. The robber left the bank on foot and was last seen around the parking lot. Subsequent investigation
Contacts: • Minneapolis FBI Office – 612-376-3200. • Eden Prairie Police - 952-949-6200. • Bloomington Police - 952-563-8893. • Crime Stoppers – 800-222-8477.
revealed that the dye pack exploded outside the bank, and some money was recovered in the parking lot. Shortly after, around 9:15 a.m., a man entered the RichfieldBloomington Credit Union located at 4025 West Old Shakopee Road in Bloomington. He walked directly to the teller counter and displayed a handgun to the teller on duty. The robber demanded money, and the teller then walked to a nearby, glassed area located behind the teller counter. The robber then left the bank on foot without obtaining any money. He was last seen walking southbound through the parking lot. Approximately an hour later, a man entered the Wells Fargo Bank branch located at 300 Western Avenue Northwest in Faribault. He walked to the teller counter and displayed a handgun to a teller. The teller complied with robber’s demand for money and provided him with an undisclosed amount of cash. The robber was not satisfied, and he demanded more money. The teller gave him some. The robber then left the bank on foot
and was last seen headed in a southbound direction through the parking lot. The FBI believes the same individual is responsible for the two bank robberies and the attempted bank robbery. The same individual is also believed to be responsible for the robbery of the Sterling Bank in Savage, on April 11, and the robbery of the U.S. Federal Credit Union in Northfield, on April 14. The robber was described as a white
male in his late 20s or early 30s, between 5'9” and 6' tall, medium build and grey or hazel eyes. He was wearing white tennis shoes, blue jeans, a dark sweatshirt, a black hooded jacket, a black mask, a black knit hat and black gloves. No one was injured during the robberies. The FBI requests that anyone with information regarding these bank robberies contact the authorities involved in the case.

Seva Football an exercise in service Teens provide soccer equipment to girls in India, Vietnam BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS When Tara Gupta missed tryouts for the Edina High School soccer team, she found another way to occupy her time. In the nearly three years since, she’s provided more than 500 pieces of soccer equipment to girls in India and Vietnam through Seva Football, an effort as timeconsuming “as playing a sport,” she said. Now she and other members of the Edina High School student group are hoping to add a third country to Seva’s roster. Seva uses soccer to uplift girls and communities based on two principles, Tara said. The first is that playing soccer, called football in most parts of the world, teaches life skills like sportsmanship and teamwork. And second, communities become stronger when girls have access to sports. Tara, a junior and president of Seva, said she was upset when she had to visit family in India the summer of 2008, missing the start of her first high school sports season. “I thought if I can’t play this season, I should help other girls who would never get the opportunity to,” she said. On past trips to India, she’d seen girls trying to play soccer with bare feet on rocky fields. So before departing, she contacted coaches with the Edina Soccer
Club, where she’s been on teams since childhood, to seek donations. She asked them to collect used cleats, shin guards, balls and other soccer accessories. Her family packed the items in their luggage, and Seva Football was born. “Seva means service in Hindi, which is the language we speak in India,” Tara said, “and it really is about service.” On that first trip to India, she distributed equipment to girls in Allahabad, a city of over 1 million people in the northeastern state of Uttar Pradesh. With the help of volunteer coaches, including local high school students, the girls receive training in a daily after-school program. “The sport is awesome,” said Mary Beth Stafford, a junior and vice president of Seva Football. She got involved in 2009, when Seva Football joined the Youth Serving Youth program at Edina High School, which encourages youth leadership, service and social awareness. Mary Beth, who plays soccer with the competitive Minnesota Thunder Academy and is captain of the Edina High School team, said in addition to the game itself, she loves soccer for the intangible skills it imbues. Tara and Mary Beth said soccer empowers girls by increasing their confi-
dence and self-esteem, teaching teamwork and communication and improving their health. “When they play a sport they mean something,” Tara said. “The biggest thing was uplifting these girls that really need it.” The pair leads fundraising efforts year round, both through community events, like an upcoming fundraiser Friday, May 20, at Davanni’s in Edina, and the group’s website, sevafootball.org.

Seva
Seva Football is now working on expanding to Uruguay in South America. Tara said she is in talks with the government’s Ministry of Sports and Partners of the Americas to see how it can help launch the nonprofit’s program A Ganar, which uses football to help at-risk youth in Latin America develop job skills. “Soccer is my life,” said Mary Beth, who plans to work with her Minnesota Thunder Academy teammates to start Seva chapters at schools around the state. “I love it and it’s hard to see people who don’t get to enjoy it as much as I do.” Tara said seeing firsthand the appreciation the girls have for the equipment, she knows Seva is making a difference, even with limited resources. “When I left India the first time, there was one girl that didn’t get a pair of cleats,” Tara said. “We’re always collecting equipment. Even if it’s just one pair of cleats we want it, because maybe that one girl would be able to play.”
FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Crosthwaite Girls School. Last summer, Seva expanded to Vietnam. Julia Nguyen, president of the Vietnamese Amerasian Society in Minnesota, works with Tara’s mother at the University of Minnesota. She had planned a trip to Vietnam last summer, and volunteered to help Seva set up a program at her childhood school Hung Tran High School, in rural Dai Hai, Vietnam. “In America, you have more opportunities than in Asia, especially in my country,” said Nguyen, noting there are few teams even for boys outside populous city areas, and none for girls. With $500 raised by Seva Football, she ordered full uniforms – from socks to jerseys emblazoned with Seva – for 25 girls, as well as soccer balls and nets. She drove the equipment from Ho Chi Minh to the school, where a teacher has volunteered to coach the team. Nguyen said participating in sports gives girls a new outlet in Vietnam, and by improving health and relieving stress, can also enhance education. She praised Seva for its work.

This winter, in collaboration with La

Awash in ideas: BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS Growing up in Edina, Jim Ellis was fascinated by James Bond and his ingenious contraptions. At an early age, he began making his own. His neighborhood was the first to have a weed whip when he was 8. At 12 he learned to weld, and by 15 he was building go-carts from scratch, he said. “It’s always exciting to do something that’s never been done before,” said Ellis. “Everybody has a gift, something they’re good at. Me, I just come up with things.” For the last 30 years, as president of Edina-based Environmental Products of Minnesota, Inc., his work has been more run-of-the-mill. With a degree in industrial engineering, he primarily designs air filtration and dust collection systems for other companies. But recently, he was asked to help remove harmful substances from water. It’s not poison from Bond-esque villains but still exciting work, he said. “I got bit by the humanitarian bug,” said Ellis, who lives in Edina with high

Edina man invents water filtration system for African village
school sweetheart and wife Teri Ellis. “It’s extremely rewarding.” As part of an Oxfam International pilot program, Ellis created a filtration system to provide healthy drinking water to an African community plagued by fluorosis, a bone-wasting condition caused by the high mineral content of the water in the region. He’s also working on a mobile unit for when disaster strikes. Oxfam commissioned the prototype from PROtector Treatment Systems, LLC, for the remote village of Longech in the Turkana region of Kenya. According to Ellis, the organizations were trying to find a way to reduce both salt and fluoride in water when he was hired as PROtector’s director of engineering and production. “We put fluoride in our water, but many countries have naturally 10 or 20 times the safe human level in their water,” Ellis said. “The water in this particular well was 16 time World Health Organization suggested levels.” According to WHO, while good for dental health at low levels, long-term
ingestion of large amounts can lead to potentially severe skeletal problems including calcification of ligaments. Ellis’ invention has now been up and running at full speed since January. He said it wasn’t always smooth sailing. When he began work on the project about three years ago, he had to convince Oxfam to go with reverse osmosis, a method that removes impurities by forcing water through membranes. Ellis said reverse osmosis systems, especially those with electronic components, are complicated and difficult to maintain in harsh conditions, but if done right, have the capability to treat large quantities of water. “Picture yourself waking up in the morning,” said Ellis, who spent two weeks in Longech installing and modifying the system in September and January, “The sand blows almost every night. It’s so fine it goes right through the mosquito netting in your tent. It’s hot and really hard for equipment to survive.” His manual system, which costs about $30,000, was placed on an existing
cement-lined well in the village. As community members turn the large wheel at its top, a pump is activated, drawing water from up from 28 feet below. The water is then pushed through a series of filters and membranes that remove bacteria, salt and fluoride before the water flows out a hose and into villagers’ buckets and bottles The system was installed in September, and during a series of visits, the team redesigned and rebuilt some aspects. It’s now filtering up to 1,000 liters per hour, meeting the project goal of a 100 percent increase in treatment capacity. “It’s been up and running and producing a whole lot of good water since January,” Ellis said. He said Oxfam is teaching villagers proper maintenance of the PROtector. The membranes and filters will need to be changed periodically. He said the people are coming around to the taste of non-salty water. “The people were extremely amazed PROTECTOR: TO PAGE 16

After an internal investigation the store determined the man would void an item at the cash register yet complete the transaction, pocketing cash as customers walked away with merchandise. The store determined there were more than 200 such transactions that occurred between August 2010

and February 2011. The store identified losses totaling $6,156, Stehlik said. The store turned over its findings to Bloomington police, who after questioning the man arrested him April 25.

because it’s the fist time that village had ever tasted what they called ‘sweet water,’” he said. “To taste that water for the first time coming from their own community was pretty surprising.” The final design of the prototype system in Longech will be used to develop a production version of the PROtector system available this year. Ellis said PROtector Treatment Systems is working with humanitarian organizations to establish a number of long-term programs in other rural and urban commu-
nities around the world, including additional locations in Kenya, Ghana, India and South Africa. Now Ellis has his sights set on a mobile version that will use a manuallypowered generator with solar and battery backup to produce drinking water from nearly any contaminated source and provide power for medical, communications and other needs. The emergency system is in the design phase. He is seeking investors to build the first prototype. “We’re looking for someone that says let’s be ready for the next natural disaster,” Ellis said.

Edina students rewarded for recycling Edina High School students drink and recycle more than 4,000 beverage containers per week. This month, the Conservation Minnesota Voter Center will reward them for their efforts by donating 10 cents for each container recycled to help Edina students promote earth saving ideas and projects. In Edina, high school students have been challenged to bring in 10,000 containers, while at South View and Valley View Middle Schools, the students are
being asked to bring in 5,000. The donation is part of a public awareness campaign for the Recycling Refund bill that is now being discussed at the Minnesota Capitol. The Recycling Refund bill would also let residents statewide generate money for charities. Minnesota currently lags behind other states with recycling deposits, such as Iowa and Michigan, both of which recycle more than 90 percent of beverage containers. Info: recyclingrefund.org.

Edina Garden Council plant sale grows on Road construction, weather won’t interfere with May 6, 7 sale at Arneson Acres
What’s Next What: Edina Garden Council Plant Sale Where: Arneson Acres Park, 4711 W. 70th St,, Edina When: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, May 6, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 7 Information: edinagardencouncil.org
BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS Cold weather and road construction can’t stop the Edina Garden Council from trying to beautify the city. The nonprofit’s 38th annual plant sale is Friday, May 6, and Saturday, May 7, at Arneson Acres Park, 4711 W. 70th St., to raise money for city garden projects. Karen Platt, plant sale chair, said customers would be able to access the park this Mother’s Day weekend despite the beginning of West 70th Street reconstruction last month. The street has been closed to through traffic east of the park between France Avenue and Cornelia Drive. Platt said that section is expected to be open westbound Friday and Saturday, allowing passage to the park
from France Avenue. Platt said the easiest way to access the park is still from Highway 100. Arneson Acres is located about a block east of the 70th Street exit. And while the spring planting season is about two weeks behind last year due to frigid temperatures, Platt said it has “actually been a more typical winter.” “We’ve been working right along,” she said. “Despite the cloudy weather, things are starting to bloom.” For the sale, the roughly 120 Edina Garden Council members begin raising annuals at the Arneson Acres greenhouse in February, as well as bring winter-hardened perennials
from their own gardens, like day lilies, hostas and ferns. “You’ll know if they survived this winter, they’re hardened,” said Platt. Other plants for sale, including herbs and vegetables, are purchased from a commercial supplier. Platt said this year, a five-person committee handmade about 200 hanging flower baskets – a popular Mother’s Day gift item – with unique combinations of plants outside the usual geraniums and impatiens offered a big box stores. “We had fun,” Platt said. “We came up with a lot of new designs.” A 10-inch basket costs $20. A 12-inch basket is $24. For the first time, there will also be a limited number of hanging vegetable baskets with tomatoes, peppers and herbs for $24. Platt said prices at the sale are lower than many nurseries. Four packs of annuals, herbs and vegetables will go for $2. Annuals in 3.5-inch and 4-inch pots are $3.25 to $3.75. Prices vary for larger perennials and annuals. Proceeds from the sale – the group’s
major fundraiser – are used for horticultural improvements and garden beautification in Edina. Each year Garden Council members purchase supplies and plant thousands of seedlings for the approximately 100 garden beds at city parks. Plant sales also help fund larger projects like the gazebo and fountain at Arneson Acres Park and provide scholarships for students in areas of horticulture and landscaping. There will be several experienced gardeners on hand to answer questions at the plant sale. Platt expects many customers will want to know when it’ll finally be warm enough to put their plants in the ground. The seven neighborhood clubs that comprise the Edina Garden Council are each responsible for one city garden bed. If it’s any indication, she said they used to plant the Monday following the plant sale, but this year they’ll wait a week until Monday, May 16. Platt said the plant sale will be held rain or shine. The Edina Garden Council accepts cash or check with ID at the plant sale.

TENNIS FROM PAGE 1 These days he calls Eden Prairie home, where his mother lives, when his busy schedule allows him a visit to Minnesota. Last year Nordahl decided to step up his tennis training at the John Newcombe Tennis Ranch near San Antonio, Texas. The full-time academy’s weekday schedule is rigorous; students rise at 6:30 a.m. and turn out the lights by 10:30 p.m. Schedules for about 100 students are packed with tennis drills, matches and fitness training. Nordahl’s discipline and hard work resulted in a 100-position jump in his rankings last year, said academy director Phil Hendrie. “Erik improved in his national ranking more than I’ve seen anybody improve in that space of time,“ Hendrie said. His speed, endurance and self-confidence will pave the way to college and a possible professional career, Hendrie said. “Erik’s strength, mentally, is that he believes in himself,” Hendrie said. “He believes that when he goes on the court, his work ethic is going to allow him to wear people down and to find a way to win the match.” At the academy, Nordahl completes schoolwork through the Insight School of Minnesota, an online public school based in Brooklyn Center. During several mandatory study sessions every day, he logs onto his laptop computer to complete assignments and discuss schoolwork with teachers. His courses include honors English and Advanced Placement biology, world history and economics. He maintains a 4.0 grade point average. Nordahl does well with online coursework because he’s a disciplined and motivated student-athlete, said his English teacher Katie Schultz. “Students like Erik have already demonstrated that they can multi-task and be successful in numerous things at once,” she said. Nordahl’s accomplishments extend beyond the tennis court. As children, Nordahl and his older sister Lilly were encouraged to excel academically and to try a wide range of activities. Nordahl tried tennis, baseball, basketball, piano and art. Tennis was his favorite. His mother Fawn Chang lives in Eden Prairie, his father Tom Nordahl lives in Bloomington; the couple is divorced. Nordahl began playing tennis at age 5 and he remembers waking up in the middle of the night to watch his heroes Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras play in Australian Open tournaments. Worried about sports injuries, his mother tried to steer Nordahl toward piano. He began playing at age 5 and won several area NORDAHL: TO NEXT PAGE CMYK

MPR to host instrument drive Classical Minnesota Public Radio, in partnership with the Minnesota Music Educators Association, presents its second annual benefit for Minnesota schools, “Play It Forward: Classical MPR’s Musical Instrument Drive.� The program will run May 2 through May 31. The drive establishes local Minnesota schools as drop-off points for individuals to donate their gently used instruments. . “Last year’s response was so amazing — more than 600 donations to over 300 schools — that doing it again was a ‘nobrainer,’� says Daniel Gilliam, program director for Classical MPR. Donors will again be able to give their instruments directly to the school of their choice. They can visit classicalmpr.org/playitforward and enter their zip code to find out which schools are
accepting instruments and the donation drop-off times. Donations are tax deductible and donors are responsible for assessing the value of their own instrument. Schools are accepting brass, woodwinds, string instruments, concert percussion (snare drums) and acoustic guitars — although each school will determine which instruments it needs. Program partner Vega Productions will accept any electronic instruments, accordions, keyboards, pianos, organs, and drum sets. Donated instruments will belong to the school. School-owned instruments are loaned free of charge to students who qualify for free or reduced lunch programs for use in band or orchestra. Often, students receiving instruments from their school cannot otherwise participate in their school’s music program.

University campuses to meet with coaches. He expects to make a decision by early fall, at the beginning of his senior year. He hopes to prepare for a professional career by learning from top college coaches and players. “I’d love to continue that after college,� he said. “But at the same time, I know how difficult being a professional athlete is and how risky it is, sometimes. I also want to be able to have a solid degree from a great school so that I can have something to fall back on, if my dreams don’t end up coming through.�
FROM PREVIOUS PAGE junior piano competitions. By age 11 he had performed with the Minnesota Orchestra and St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. “Piano was very promising for me, but I always felt like my passion was on the court,� he said. “I always felt a pull, it’s kind of almost like a magnetic pull that would bring me back to the tennis courts.� Several colleges are recruiting Nordahl for their tennis programs and he recently visited Harvard University and Princeton

Cure FROM PAGE 1 cer diagnosis by a few months in 1989, she explained. “I thought I was going to suffer and die like my mom did,” she said. Blumberg-Tendle detected her cancer early, however, and not only survived, but has also become a significant part of the local effort to fight breast cancer. “We’ll continue holding this event until there is a cure,” she said. Having been a caregiver for her mother during her second bout with breast cancer, and surviving it herself, Blumberg-Tendle “wanted to do something to make a difference,” she said. “I know what it’s like to lose someone you love.” The Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation didn’t have a Twin Cities chapter in the early 1990s, so Blumberg-Tendle became a volunteer for the American Cancer Society. When planning was underway for the inaugural Race for the Cure in 1993, a friend recommended that Blumberg-Tendle join the organization. From that point on “I redirected my volunteer efforts toward Race for the Cure.” Blumberg-Tendle helped with communications prior to the first race, and was there to assist at the race in 1993. She
returned year after year, eventually serving as chairwoman of the race in 2000 and 2001. In 2009 she was hired as the mission manager for the Minnesota chapter. Her duties as mission manager include overseeing the grant program that provides funding to a variety of educational programs and services involved in the fight against breast cancer. Blumberg-Tendle never imagined she’d be so heavily involved with the organization when she volunteered for its first race in 1993. Now she works full time on behalf of an organization and cause she believes in. “It was like a dream come true for me,” she said.
A gathering of thousands The race attracts thousands of breast cancer survivors, their supporters and friends and family of breast cancer victims. Some simply pay the registration fee and participate in the five-kilometer walk or race outside the mall, or the one-kilometer walk inside the mall. Others raise pledges in conjunction with their participation, Blumberg-Tendle said. On race day the registration fee is $35 for adults, $17 for children 12 and under. The fees are reduced for those who register online prior to race day. The first of the events is the start of the wheelchair 5K race at 7:25 a.m., followed by the 5K run at 7:30. The 5K walk begins at 9,
with the 1K walk beginning at 9:30 on the mall’s second floor. A health expo and refreshments are available in the north parking lot from 7-10, and a survivor celebration commences at 11 on the first floor of the mall. A Kids for the Cure Fun Run is 3 p.m. Saturday, May 7, in the north parking lot at Mall of America. Registration for the run being at 2. The organization directs 75 percent of its proceeds to Minnesota programs and services, with 25 percent going to the national chapter, which funds programs and services around the country, BlumbergTendle explained. The Minnesota affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure receives a variety of donations throughout the year – from refreshments for race day to office space inside Mall of America – to keep its overhead expenses to 11 percent of money raised through the race and other fundraising mechanisms, she noted.
Getting around Parking will be available in the IKEA lot across from the mall, in the Mall of America ramps and in the Kelly lot on the east side of the mall. Metro Transit Light Rail to the mall will also be available. Lane and road closures are scheduled for Killebrew Drive, Lindau Lane and 24th
Did you know? • There were 64 participants who raised $1,000 or more through pledges on 2010. • Those 64 participants raised more than $130,000, an average of more than $2,000 per person. • Participants consumed more than 65,000 bottles of donated Chippewa water at the 2010 race. • The ration of women to men participating in the event is about 3:1. • The oldest participant in 2010 was a 96year-old breast cancer survivor.

Additional lane closures will occur on Old Shakopee Road from Killebrew Drive to 86th Street, 86th Street from Old Shakopee Road to 12th Avenue, 12th Avenue from 86th Street to American Boulevard and American Boulevard from 12th Avenue to 24th Avenue. The course will reopen to traffic when the last walkers pass by. Organizers anticipate the entire course to be open by noon, according to Bloomington Police. More than 50,000 participants, volunteers and spectators are expected to attend. Information and registration is available online at racecure.org.

Tobon added a two-run homer against the Spartans. “We bounced back in the tournament after losing twice the previous week,” said Jefferson head coach Penny Witzenburg. “We played excellent defense and had a fantastic performance in the three tournament games. “Tobon had a great tournament.” Jefferson kept its momentum going last week. The Jaguars defeated Eastview 3-1 April 25. Karmann Carroll hit a solo home run for the winners. Jefferson beat Kennedy 7-3 April 27 on Bloomington Fastpitch Association Day at Kelly Field.

Kennedy tops Jefferson 9-3 in South Suburban baseball Horn, Juberian supply two hits each BY GREG KLEVEN • SUN NEWSPAPERS Kennedy earned two impressive baseball victories last week. The Eagles defeated Jefferson 9-3 April 27. Zach Horn and Arich Juberian supplied two hits apiece. One of Juberian’s hits was a two-run single. Montana Schowalter contributed a two-run double. Austin Nordby pitched 5 1/3 innings to pick up the win. He allowed two earned runs while striking out three. Josh Flanders pitched 1 2/3 innings of relief. “We pitched and played our best game of the season,” said Kennedy coach Matt Hanson. “We scored a few runs in the first, which is huge for us. “After that we played solid defense and had a couple of timely hits. Nordby pitched a great game.” Kennedy beat Minneapolis Southwest 8-6 April 29 as Schowalter worked five innings to pick up the pitching victory. Relief pitcher Horn was credited with a save. Kevin Houts was the batting hero with three hits, including a home run and two singles. Juberian and Kris Ashland came through with two hits each. Lakeville North dealt Kennedy an 11-2 loss April 28.. Flanders and Kris Ashland hit one double apiece. Tanner Leeman and Nick Warren had one single each. Kennedy will play at Lakeville South Friday, May 6, and is at home against Eagan Monday, May 9. Both games start at 4:15 p.m. Jeans breaks record Kennedy sophomore pole vaulter Kelly Jeans broke a school record by clearing 10 feet, 6 inches in a home quadrangular girls track meet April 28. Jeans competed in the Hamline Elite meet the following day and tied for second place with another school-record effort of 10-9. “We know our section is loaded so the state standard height of 10-7 is something Kelly has to get used to clearing,” said Kennedy head girls track coach Pete Svien. “Attending camps and lifting weights has really improved her vaulting.” Another talented Kennedy pole vaulter is sophomore Megan Olson, who has cleared 8-6. Labrishia Michael has thrown well for the Eagles, according to Svien. The Kennedy senior has a season-best throw of 41-2 1/2 in the shot put. Her best dis-

Kennedy junior captain Jill Haram makes contact with a pitch during the Eagles’ 7-3 South Suburban Conference loss to Jefferson April 27 at Kelly Field. (Photo by Brian Nelson • Contributing Photographer) cus toss has been 118-11. “Labrishia is just figuring out she can do well in the discus this season,” said Svien. “She had an off day in the Hamline Elite meet with a sixth-place shot put effort of 38-11.” Patience Yalarti has gone 32-3 in the triple jump. Kennedy will compete in the Edina Invitational at 3 p.m. Friday, May 6. Eagle softball tourney Bloomington Kennedy will host a sixteam invitational softball tournament Saturday, May 7, at Dred Scott fields 2, 3 and 4. The Eagles (0-9) will play Greenway in the 10:30 a.m. opener. Second-round games begin at 12:15 p.m., followed by the final rounds at 2:30. Kennedy prepared for its tourney with two games last week. The Eagle lost 7-3 to Jefferson April 27 at Kelly Field. Kennedy’s leading hitter Sam Olson had another strong game with three hits.
She is batting .417. Jill Haram contributed a two-run single as the Eagles built a 3-1 lead after four innings against the sixth-ranked Jaguars. “Haram is batting around .400 with eight RBIs,” said Kennedy coach Jim Hanson. “We didn’t have lot of hits after taking the 3-1 lead.” Kennedy gave South Suburban Conference leader Burnsville a scare before losing 6-2 in nine innings to the Blaze April 25. Kennedy sent the game into extra innings by tying the score with two runs in the bottom of the seventh. Shannon Rodriguez had run-scoring double and Haram drove in the other run with a single. Rodriguez struck out five batters in nine innings but was the losing pitcher. “We played an excellent game against a very good Burnsville team,” said Hanson.
Two-year state boys golf tournament veteran Nick Nielsen is off to a successful start for Jefferson this spring. The Jaguar senior was medalist in a South Suburban Conference tournament April 18 at Minnesota Valley Country Club. Nielsen shot a 4-underpar 69 to place first. Nielsen and his Jefferson teammates placed second of 10 teams with a 310 total. Jefferson’s other three counting scorers were junior Jake Olsonoski (78), sophomore Josh Herman (80) and sophomore Parker Tinsley (83). Nielsen was third in the Chanhassen Invite April 25 at Deer Run. He shot an even-par 71. Sophomore Jon Lindquist came in with a 77. Olsonoski and Herman had 79s as Jefferson placed third of 17 teams. Olsonoski (73) and Nielsen (77) were Jefferson’s low scorers in the Prior Lake Invite April 27. Jefferson competed in the Tri-State Invitational April 29-30 at Edinburgh USA. The Jaguars were 13th of 24 teams. Olsonoski was Jefferson’s low scorer with a 36-hole total score of 161. Nielsen is Jefferson’s captain. Other varsity members are Olsonoski, Tinsley, Lindquist, Herman and ninthgrader Michael Schmitz. “We are off to a good start with five experienced players back,” said Jefferson head coach Jeff Lindquist. “Nielsen is one of the top golfers in the state. “He hits the ball long and straight and has a good short game as well.”
