HERALD Strike up the band Over 25 years of music from the Minnesota Valley Community Band

y day, they are doctors, law yers, teachers and scientists. But by night, they put aside their varied careers and fi nd common ground in their love of music. They are the members of the Minnesota Valley Community Band.

“There’s a certain satisfaction to playing an instrument in an ensemble,” said conductor Barry Fox. The group will perform in front of the gazebo on Friday evening as part of River City Days’ festivities.

They have been regular performers at River City Days since the group got its start in 1986. Twenty-five years later, they are still going strong.

“This is actually our 26th River City Days,” said Fox, a retired middle school music teacher, who is also one of the founders of the Minnesota Valley Community Band. “We’ve been celebrating our 25th anniversary for about 15 months now.”

The Minnesota Valley Community Band performs during the 2010 River City Days. The band got its start at the 1986 festival and has remained a crowd favorite every year. The group performs at 7 p.m. this Friday in City Square Park.

Fox was at a 50th birthday party for a friend when some of the attendees began asking why Chaska didn’t have a community band any more.

Before he knew it, Fox was being volunteered to start one.

“We started practicing that summer [of 1986] and had our first performance at River City Days,” he recalled.

The performance was a success,

prompting members to consider doing the band year-round.

David and Gayle Godfrey, of Chaska, have been with the band since that fi rst year. David plays the euphonium, Gayle the clarinet. “Our love of playing is why we joined and why we stay,” they wrote in an e-mail.

It is just days before River City Days is in full swing and organizer Tim Sebenaler is cool as a cucumber.

After years of organizing Chaska’s biggest multi-day event, Sebenaler has got the routine down pat. If he’s stressed, he hides it well.

Food, vendors, information booths and music will fill City Square Park for most of the weekend. Because of the big crowds, Sebenaler has made a conscious effort to be greener this year.

Visitors will see more recycling and composting waste options.

“That’s more behind the scenes,” Sebenaler said.

‘Biggest tragedy since WWII’ Chaska teens get toasted

Local graduate witnesses Norway coming together

BY MARK W. OLSON editor@chaskaherald.com

“It was a sea of people. I have never seen anything so powerful, strangers were hugging and crying in each others arms,” reports Kristina Kelly, a 2006 Chaska High School graduate, now living in Norway.

She was describing a July 25 rose vigil she attended and photographed, held in memory of the more than 70 people killed in the July 26 bombing and shooting attacks. Anders Behring Breivik is accused of both July 22 attacks.

Kelly grew up in Chanhassen, still home to her parents, Cole and Teri Kelly. In 2010, Kelly graduated from the University of North Carolina, where she studied photography and sculpture. She is continuing her photography studies about 22 miles south of Oslo over the summer.

Dried bread and toasters may be subject matter better suited for breakfast than theater, but for Andrew Brady and Robbie Lyman, the seemingly random items provide the perfect backdrop for a classic detective spoof.

“We tried to think what is the most ridiculous crime one could commit,” explained Brady.

thought it was thunder but at the same time it was strange because it only happened once. About 20 minutes later I found out the sound was actually the bomb explosion. We were all in shock and turned the television on right away.”

Kelly flipped through Norwegian channels until she found CNN and learned about the explosion. Two hours later, she learned about the slaughter on the island of Utoya.

“There was a mood change in the house, everyone was silent just listening to the news, e-mailing and calling home to let their families know we were alright,” Kelly said.

As a photographer, her immediate impulse was to photograph what was happening, Kelly said. “But not knowing exactly who was involved with this we decided it was safer to stay put. Once I heard of the shooting, I felt a little weary and unsafe but after calling home and talking to my dad, he told me there is going to be more security there so you should be just fi ne. It really gives you a perspective on your life and that you should never take anything for granted. You never know what can happen,” she said.

An estimated 150,000 attended the Monday rose vigil, which was “full of emotion, tears, hugging,” Kelly said.

“The whole community came together to morn these young people.”

In the Twin Cities, the victims were remembered at a vigil held at the Mindekirken church in Minneapolis.

They are also on the minds of local residents with Scandinavian ties.

“The Nordic Heritage Club wishes to extend their sympathy to the tragedy that happened in Norway. Violence has no boundaries,” said Carolyn Spargo, with the local Nordic Heritage Club.

The two started playing music in the band at Chaska High School and found an avenue to carry on after graduation in the Minnesota Valley Community Band. “Music is such a great interest that can start when you are a youngster and carry through your whole life as Minnesota Valley Community Band demonstrates,” they stated.

Jennifer Schreiber would agree.

Schreiber is relatively new to the group, having joined in 2009 after moving to Chaska. She now leads the clarinet section.

“Throughout my life, being in a band has always been part of making wherever I live ‘home,’” she wrote in an e-mail. “Keeping music in my life as an adult is really important to me.”

Schreiber said that being part of the band also offers her balance.

“Being a scientist all day requires some balance in life!

“Some people use yoga or running, I use music.”

Getting into the group is fairly simple. “We’ve been run pretty much the same since 1986,” said Fox. There are no auditions and the only real requirement is that you be able to make most of the rehearsals, Fox said.

The band performs between six and eight concerts a year – mostly during the summer.

during their junior year, only to fi nd out the following school year that they wouldn’t be performing studentwritten pieces.

Determined to not let their hard work go unnoticed, they persevered.

“We tried a number of ways to see if we could perform it,” said Lyman.

They eventually found out about the Minnesota State Thespian Chapter Festival in early January and didn’t hesitate to enter. “Sign us up!” said Lyman.

A 20-minute version of “Toasted” debuted at the festival to a receptive crowd. “The audience there loved it,” noted Lyman. Brady added that at one point the crowd burst into applause, eliciting huge smiles from the show’s directors.

‘Toasted’ What: A detective spoof called “Toasted,” created by Chaska teens for the Minnesota Fringe Festival.

Written/directed: Andrew Brady and Robbie Lyman Starring: Taylor Diles, Lauren Beck, Zach Bolland and Lily Podany Venue: Playwrights’ Center, 2301 E. Franklin Ave., Minneapolis Dates: 5:30 p.m., Friday, Aug. 5; 7 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 7; 10 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 10 and Friday, Aug. 12; 4 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 14

CHARACTERS Eighteen-year-old Lauren Beck, Ch a sk a H i g h S cho ol’s r ei g n i n g Homecoming Queen, plays Victoria Strudelle, the victimized toaster shop owner.

“She’s the damsel in distress,” said Beck.

“Vicki is overly dramatic about toasters,” she added. “To her, it’s serious. It’s a really big deal.”

Strudelle enlists Detective Percy Irving, played by Homecoming King Taylor Diles, to help fi nd her missing toasters.

“Our detective is incompetent,” offered Lyman.

“He’s an idiot,” said Diles, of his character. “He’s so extremely full of himself.”

Diles is assisted by his sarcastic secretary Doris, played by 16-year-old Lily Podany.

“She’s the brains behind the operation,” said Podany.

Rounding out the cast is Zach Bolland, 18, who plays the villainous Toastmaster.

“He’s eccentric,” said Bolland of his tuxedoed character.

“He’s off the deep end,” offered Brady.

Like any good villain, Bolland seems to grab the attention of not

Tickets: $12 for adults; $5 for kids (12 and under); $10 for seniors and students More info and tickets: www.fringefestival.org

only the audience, but his fellow cast members.

“I do like watching Zach,” said Podany. “He’s hysterical.” “[Bolland] is big and fun to watch,” said Brady. “He’s able to grab a lot of laughter with a lot of things most people wouldn’t attempt.”

Like the Toastmaster, Bolland, too, is eccentric. Brady and Lyman admit that they had Beck, Diles, Podany and Bolland in mind when they created the characters in “Toasted.”

And for the most part, the cast is OK with that.

“I can be an idiot sometimes,” said Diles. “But I don’t think I’m that arrogant.”

SHOW “Toasted” is geared toward ages 12 and up, but Bolland says that their show has something for everybody.

“The physical comedy plays well to any age,” said Brady. “I think everybody can fi nd something to relate to.”

“It’s not an edgy or controversial show,” he added. “I would bring my grandma to it.”

And though the majority of the group is headed off in different directions for college next year (including Brady to Hamline University on a theater scholarship and Lyman to Columbia University) this may not be the last time their paths cross.

They’ve had so much fun working together on “Toasted” that the odds of them reuniting for another show are high.

“I’m already thinking Fringe for next year,” said Brady with a smile.

GIFTS For Stanton Galstad, of Jordan, municipal bands are a way of life.

Galstad is one of seven French horn players in the group. He has been with the band for the last seven years but has played in or directed municipal bands since he was in high school more than four decades ago.

“I believe that music is a gift to be used for the enjoyment of others,” Galstad replied in an e-mail.

His whole family has been known to get in on the action. His wife Sandy has been with band for the last six years and his two daughters have also played in the past.

Today, there are about 60 members of the Minnesota Valley Community Band. They come from all over the area and include members from Chaska, Chanhassen, Victoria, Jordan, Shakopee, Farmington and Hutchinson.

They also come with a nice range of instruments. “We are very fortunate to have a wonderful balance,” said Fox. Among the group, there are nine trombone players, five percussionists, 10 flautists, 9 clarinetists and six saxophone players. The band also has one tuba player – a rare find for most community bands.

The group’s members range in age from as young as 17 to as old as 78.

Despite the six decade span, they are united together by their love for music.

“I love playing and like the fellowship with other like-minded people,” said Galstad.

“We are a microcosm of society where each can bring a gift and the result is more than the sum of the parts,” wrote the Godfreys. “It shows what can be accomplished for the common good.”

Their Friday line-up includes John Phillips Sousa’s “The Minnesota March,” “The March from 1941” by John Williams, Glenn Miller’s “In the Mood” and Philip Sparke’s “Dundonnell” from the suite “Hymn of the Highlands.”

The group will also team up with a seven piece brass ensemble called The Tarnished Brass for “That’s a Plenty.”

“Toasted” is the sharply written story of a looted toaster shop owner who employs an ace detective to solve the case of her stolen toasters.

LEGISLATURE

Legislators share viewpoints on 2011 marathon

BY FORREST ADAMS fadams@swpub.com

The state government is back at work, and the historic government shutdown ended after 20 days.

Arguably, neither Republican legislators nor the Democratic governor got exactly what they wanted out of the shutdown, and both sides remain at odds over the 2012-13 budgets that Gov. Mark Dayton signed into law. From neither side of the political aisle was there chest thumping or shouts of triumph over a victory.

This year’s Legislature was historic for ending in the longest state shutdown in Minnesota’s history, but other things made it historic as well. When the 2011 Minnesota Legislature conveyed in January, it was under full Republican control for the fi rst time in 38 years.

As such, elected Republicans from Senate District 34, which includes Carver County and part of Scott County, played a prominent role in the lawmaking.

Sen. Julianne Ortman, a Chanhassen Republican, was the first woman to chair the Senate Tax Committee since Minnesota’s statehood. Ortman joked during the session that this year she was able to vote for a senate tax bill for the fi rst time since she was elected to the Minnesota Senate in 2002.

She was the bill’s chief author.

Rep. Joe Hoppe, a Chaska Republican, found himsel f serving as assistant minority leader in the House of Representatives and chair of the House Commerce and Regulatory Reform Committee. After scant authorship of bills while t he House was u nder DF L control, this year Hoppe was the chief author of 22 bills.

Not only that, but he was also among the Republican leaders to accompany the governor on Pokegama Lake this May for the Governor’s Fishing Opener.

The 2010 election brought many new faces into the Legislature, one of them a staunchly conservative Republican from Mayer named Ernie Leidiger, who fi lled the House seat vacated by Paul Kohls, a Victoria Republican who retired from the House following his failed bid for the Republican nomination for governor in 2010.

Leidiger made headlines this session, not so much for the legislation he authored but because he invited a controversial talk radio preacher from Minneapolis to lead prayer on the House floor. The preacher, named Bradlee Dean, suggested that President Barack Obama doesn’t believe in Jesus Christ, and in the past Dean has report-

edly equated homosexuals with predators and molesters.

Leidiger later said the reason he invited Dean was because of Dean’s advocacy for Constitutional education in public schools, and he said he was unaware of his radical anti-gay views.

Since the end of the state shutdown, Leidiger has come under more scrutiny for telling his constituents that he would vote against the budget bills because they would increase state spending.

However, t he vote t a l ly shows Leidiger voted for the bills, with the exception of the bonding bill.

In the aftermath, Leidiger claimed in an e-mail to the newspaper that he and 15 other conservative GOP House members indeed planned to vote against the budget bills until Republican leaders promised them a conservative slant on next session’s agenda.

“The conservatives stayed together and were assured conservative policies would prevail in the future,” he said.

The Legislature is adjourned until Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2012.

Name: Sen. Julianne Ortman Top bi l l s you authored this session: Tax Conformity Bill, Tax Policy and Technical Bill, Tax OmJulianne nibus Bill, 5 Ortman Legal Reform Bills Highlight of the session: Personally: Attending the Memorial Service for Senator Linda Scheid with dozens of other legislators; we celebrated her life and contributions with her family, and constituents in the Brooklyn Park Community Center.

Professionally: Passing my fi rst Tax Omnibus Bill out of the Senate. After being in the minority for eight years, it was exciting to see my ideas passing with support through both Houses of the Legislature: Homeowner Property Tax Relief, Estate Tax Reform to protect small businesses and farmers, maintaining LGA and County Program Aid at 2010 Levels, permanently (saving hundreds of millions of dollars for the next four years), eliminating the broken Market Value Credit Program, correcting the Tax Incidence study to include federal taxation, property tax relief for disabled veterans and spouses of veterans.

Lowlight of the session: June 30, 2011, when the governor left the capitol for the

evening without fi rst passing a “lights on” bill or ordering a special session, with no alternative but shutdown.

Why did you vote the way you did on the fi nal budget bills?

The plan got us over the impasse between the Legislature’s goal to limit spending to funds available, and the governor’ goal to spend $1.4 billion more, with a tax increase. The governor put Minnesotans to the test of shutdown and constitutional crisis: he vetoed our $34.2 billion balanced budget — but only after the Constitutional dead li ne requi red t hat we adjourn.

He had no alternative with legislative support. After that, only the governor could call a special session to allow work on an alternative. He insisted on shutdown and refused to call a special session until we agreed to more spending. Sadly, he accepted a compromise made by legislative leaders on June 30; the shutdown was completely avoidable and unnecessary.

A lot of the problems the state Legislature encounters have to do with projected spending and revenue.

Should this process be reformed? Why? Yes, I have proposed a Constitutional Amendment that will limit biennial spending to 98 percent of projected revenues (the other 2 percent would be set aside in reserve). We have a spending problem; there will always be more wants, more good ideas and programs to fund. We need additional constitutional clarification on what it means to adopt a balanced budget. We also need more institutional pressure to respond to economic realities.

The gover nor’s budget proposal was $ 36 billion.

The Republican proposal was $ 34 billion. The final budget turned out to be $35.4 billion. What brought the Republican caucus so close to the governor’s number?

See above.

The governor opposed social policies that were found in initial Republican budget proposals. Why were social issues brought into the budget discussion?

My understanding is that no such offer was made; rather leaders and the governor were exploring all potential avenues for compromise. I was not in favor of introducing social policy issues in the budget negotiations.

What can we expect from you next January when the Legislature is seated again?

More reforms intended to further reduce the size, cost and footprint of state government; more reforms to encour-

age economic growth and competitiveness, including more Tax Reform.

Name: Rep. Joe Hoppe Top bi l l s you authored this session: I was the author of a number of commerce-related bills this y e a r. T h e y were most ly Joe technical, Hoppe dealing with insurance, annuities, banking, etc. While not very exciting, they were very important to both businesses and consumers in Minnesota.

Highlight of the session: Meeting with the Korean Ambassador regarding the Korea/ American Free Trade Agreement.

Lowlight of the session: Not getting a budget agreement that would have avoided a government shutdown after being so very close to a deal in the fi nal days of June.

Why did you vote the way you did on the fi nal budget bills?

We needed to get the shutdown over with, so I was planning on voting for the deal in any event. As the details in the bills were finalized over the weekend, I became more enthused about the fi nal product. There are many reforms in these bills that will help Minnesota down the road.

A lot of the problems the state Legislature encounters have to do with projected spending and revenue.

Should this process be reformed?

A lot of the problems that the state Legislature has are due to the huge increase in spending over the past 30 years. While it would be nice to flatten out the projections, it would be nicer to not want to spend so much in the fi rst place.

The gover nor’s budget proposal was $ 36 billion.

The Republican proposal was $ 34 billion. The final budget turned out to be $35.4 billion. What brought the

Republican caucus so close to the governor’s number?

Among other things, the $34 billion budget that we passed increased spending by over $5 billion from the previous biennium, dealt with the deficit, increased education funding, and had substantive reforms – all without raising taxes. The governor vetoed that budget.

The fi nal budget deal was the best compromise that we could negotiate with the governor.

The governor opposed social policies that were found in initial Republican budget proposals. Why were social issues brought into the budget discussion?

Many issues were brought into the negotiations. The fi nal budget bills are full of policy provisions.

What can we expect from you next January when the legislature is seated again?

I will continue to work on commerce issues in particular and to make sure that government is spending our tax money wisely in general.

Name: Rep. Ernie Leidiger Top bi l l s you authored this session: E-Veri fy use r e qu i r e d by state contractor; targeted misdemeanor clari f ied to Ernie include no Leidiger contact order misdemeanor violations for the purpose of requiring fi ngerprinting; wage and hour provisions modified.

Highlight of the session: The last day of the session when we had passed the balanced budget and we accomplished passing so many reforms in the bills without a tax increase.

Lowlight of the session: The governor shut down government for no reason on June 30, when we were all there and could have at least passed a “lights on” bill. The governor just quit the negotiations.

Why did you vote the way you did on the fi nal budget bills?

www.chaskaherald.com

I voted yes when leadership promised a legislative agenda next year centered around spending reforms and restrictions on increasing tax rates.

There are excellent reforms in the bills we signed that will retard government spending.

So I support them. However, the one-time spending increases must not appear again next biennium. They must be eliminated.

The gover nor’s budget proposal was $ 36 billion.

The Republican proposal was $ 34 billion. The final budget turned out to be $35.4 billion. What brought the Republican caucus so close to the governor’s number?

The state did not need to spend another $1.4 billion. The legislature handed the governor a balanced budget at $34 billion. It was enough. But the governor would not back down.

He intended to hurt as many Minnesotans as he could by shutting down the state government for political reasons.

The governor opposed social policies that were found in initial Republican budget proposals. Why were social issues brought into the budget discussion?

Most of the policy reforms were also linked with fiscal reforms and needed to remain in the bills for the reductions in spending to work. It was the bases for balancing the budget.

What can we expect from you next January when the Legislature is seated again?

We will pass and place on the ballot the voter ID bill and a bill that limits the authority to increase taxes. We will then continue work on spending decreases and reducing the size of government. This, in tandem with holding the line on taxes, will help promote job growth in the private sector.

Less posturing, more governing Nose cut off? Check. Face spited?

Check.

If that was the goal of the state’s politicians, well then, mission accomplished.

O u r ele c t e d r epr e s ent at ive s avoided the difficult decision to both cut services and raise revenue (or raise taxes; or generate user fees; or shut loopholes; or build a Racino; or whatever the heck you want to call it).

I nstead, ou r budget was ba lanced by borrowing money against a 13-year-old tobacco lawsuit and passing along debt to our schools.

But this duct tape solution will only work short-term.

It is our wish that the DFLers and the GOP learn how to govern, instead of how to posture. And, if they’re planning a budget standoff, maybe they could schedule it earlier in the session. Or maybe sessions could be shortened to a week long, if that’s how they want to handle business.

Instead, our politicians waited until the last minute playing a game of budget chicken. One of the many results? State parks, in the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” were closed in the middle of summer. If that doesn’t spell dysfunction, what does?

It was heartening that, during the shutdown fiasco, the city of Victoria offered a solution – compromise.

Victoria is a GOP stronghold. It has an average household income of $109,200 (compared to the state average of $55,621) and it’s only voted for only two non-Republican presidential candidates since being incorporated in 1915.

Here’s what the letter, written

by Mayor Mary Hershberger Thun, and signed by the four councilors, had to say “We are not in favor of a broad-based or targeted tax increase, as rarely do taxes solve all problems, but neither are we in favor of hurting those who need assistance to simply live their daily lives. …

“There are ‘taxes’ or ‘user fees’ that can be levied that affect only those citizens who choose to use particular services or products.

There are certain projects that can be delayed into the future, but still planned and [budgeted] for, without

substantially affected our livelihood.

There are certain tax ‘breaks’ that can be eliminated that will minimally affect our residents and business.

There are certainly services that can be safely pared down for people that for whatever reason need assistance through honest efforts by our state to provide a ‘safety net.’ …

“We believe that you need to live up to your responsibilities. Your immediate challenge is to put this State on a sustainable path, regardless of your future and regardless of your party’s future.”

So there you have it – Victoria, one of the most conservative cities in Minnesota, telling Minnesota politicians to compromise by cutting services and raising taxes.

Victoria is represented in the Minnesota House by freshmen Rep. Ernie Leidiger, who hasn’t been a big fan of compromise in the budget discussion.

Apparently, not hearing from the Victoria council, Leidiger commented earlier during the shutdown, “My constituents absolutely do not want me to back down.”

Leidiger was one of only a few reps who voted against a bonding bill that was part of the GOP/DFL deal which, as terrible as it was, ended the state shutdown. Other local Republicans Rep. Joe Hoppe and Sen. Julianne Ortman voted for the entire deal.

While Carver County has a long proud GOP history, it also has a tradition of playing ball with the DFL. Going into the second year of his term, Leidiger should, like Victoria, opt for a mainstream GOP position.

(His invitation to an anti-gay pastor to give an insulting opening prayer at the Minnesota House was a bad stumble out of the starting gate.)

In the next session, we hope all our representatives take a leadership in governing, not posturing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR BUDGET DEAL

Voting against moving forward One of the conditions Gov. Mark Dayton placed on his acceptance of the Republican budget offer was the addition of a bonding bill. In a bonding bill, the state issues bonds (debt) that is used to build capital projects around the state.

If you’re going to be issuing debt as a state, bonding for capital projects – infrastructure – is the best possible thing you can do with that debt. And now, with the economic downturn, is an even better time to invest heavily in infrastructure. It has the immediate impact of getting people back to work, and it creates lasting projects that can serve as the basis for future growth.

Additionally, you can build infrastructure more cheaply now than you can when times are good.

Gov. Dayton and the Republican majority agreed on a bonding package of $531 million. It’s full of great projects, including: $51 million for a new Physics and Nanotechnology building at the University of Minnesota

$48.7 million for new science facilities at St. Cloud State University, Metropolitan State University and Mesabi Range Community College $16 million to renovate the Coon Rapids Dam, including construction of an invasive species barrier $50 million for flood mitigation $33 million in local bridge replacement $22.5 million in Twin Cities and greater Minnesota transit These are projects that are going to have beneficial long-term impacts on our state. It’s hard to pinpoint the exact number of jobs that will be created by these investments, but using historical rates, a $531 million level of investment will result in about 15,000 new jobs. 15,000 new jobs would shave half a percent off of the state’s current unemployment rate, reducing it to 6 percent.

Who could be opposed to such a common-sense proposition? Rep. Ernie Leidiger of Mayer, that’s who.

Leidiger was one of only 16 representatives to vote “no” on the bonding bill. Most Republicans, including Chaska’s Rep. Joe Hoppe and Chanhassen’s Sen. Julianne Ortman, recognized the value of this bill and voted in favor of it.

Undoubtedly, Leidiger will cite the issuance of more debt as his rationale for opposing the bill. But Leidiger – on the same day – voted for over $1.3 billion in debt that is really harmful to Minnesota’s economy.

Leidiger voted for a $700 million shift in K-12 education payments that puts the state IOU to its schools at $2 billion. Leidiger also voted to issue bonds against future tobacco settlement revenues. To raise $640 billion in revenue for this biennium, the state is going to have to spend between $800 and $900 million dollars. These moves are debt of the worst kind – they hurt our schools and create holes in the state budget in future years without providing any of the long-term benefit of the infrastructure projects.

L eidiger ’s “no” vote on t he bonding bill is a vote against movi ng Mi nnesota for wa rd, and is yet another demonstration of his willingness to blindly vote ideology over the real world needs of his constituents.

Sean Olsen Chaska Letters to page 5 ®

Youth association sports are for all levels of talent Something we will soon see in our community and across Carver County is series of community forums.

The Community Foundation for Carver County is planning two community dialogues in late September and early October.

The dialogues will gather feedback from communities across Carver County and identify the key issues, needs, concerns and opportunities.

This identification will provide the focus for the Community Foundation as it moves forward and works to build community support.

It is interesting and somewhat frustrating that a lot of Carver County dollars are going outside Carver County to other foundations, rather than the local Community Foundation for Carver County, to make a difference in the lives of those that call Carver County home.

The result of these dialogues will provide an important focus for this local foundation as they move forward.

LOVE INC Love INC continues to provide a tremendous service to the community in reaching out and serving the 22 member churches across Eastern Carver County to meet the needs of the most needy.

Over 16,000 calls were handled this past year by the Love INC clearinghouse. Churches then

respond to meet the identified needs.

One of the concepts being discussed is the idea of creating a Community Service Center to create a campus of non-profit services that share the mission of helping those in need.

Love INC is helping churches work together more effectively than ever before. This is powerful work that makes a difference. Along those same lines, the Chaska Community Center’s Active Older Adults is also working to demonstrate actions which serve the needs of the community.

The opportunity for groups like this to support each other and make an even larger difference for our community is significant.

situations has been the city of Chaska’s partnership with District 112. It has produced tremendous results, which have stood in the best interests of all learners across the district.

Since the district consists of four cities, there is the tendency to wonder what the other cities think when a project is done with one of the other cities. Well that simply shouldn’t be the concern. If it is the right thing to do and serves the best interest of all, then it is important to demonstrate the courage to make the right decision, and make that decision.

Our community has long been a supporter of quality education, but it also recognizes when politics gets involved, rather than doing things for the right reasons.

If there is a shared vision to provide the best learning experience for every child, let us encourage the actions and decision making that simply supports doing the right thing by creating win-win situations. That is the expectation of the community.

YOUTH ASSOCIATIONS An area that has been interesting to watch is the growth of our youth associations.

It has become a big and complex effort, with the numbers growing tremendously. Back sometime in the ’70s, we started the Youth Basketball Association with 35 kids.

It truly was a local experience.

There certainly were no traveling teams, but pretty uncomplicated competition and, hopefully, some learning. As things have grown in all athletic associations, the traveling team concept has increased, along with the demand for spaces. The dedication of those that have provided leadership during this time of growth should always be appreciated.

However, this growth comes with not only some cost increases, but with growing pressures on our youth, much of it coming from heightened expectations from some parents.

It is a miniscule percentage of our youth that will experience the success of a Brad Hand – an exciting story in and of itself.

What we can’t allow to happen though is to move away from the value of everyone having the opportunity to participate; for everyone to have a good experience; for every level of skill to have a chance; and for all to feel a part of the team.

I’m sure numbers and demand for spaces put pressures on this goal, but if we value the above equity goal, then let’s make sure those experiences are weighted at the same level of importance as those of the most talented.

I understand the value of AAU, elite and select programs and the development of certain skills it can provide. But it also has created the above mentioned issues of heightened expectations of some, at

which point increased pressure is experienced across-the-board.

This certainly is not the case in all situations, but I believe there is enough evidence for the community to support the efforts of those that are responsible for our youth associations to ensure fairness and equity for all levels of competence.

I don’t want this to be some Pollyanna thinking, because I know the benefits of traveling team sport and the results that can follow and how that success can have a positive impact on building a stronger sense of community and community pride.

At the same time, I hope it’s not at the expense of giving every kid an experience. If we want to maximize the opportunity of the highest potential talent let us make sure we also never forget those whose level of success is measured in much less accolade and glory. That too can be a tremendous community building experience.

Finally, get out if you can and take in a Chaska Cubs game at Chaska Athletic Park. It is a great experience in a great setting with a number of other members of the community. It is affordable and a great family experience.

There are Cubs games at Athletic in early August, and we hope you get a chance to get down there and enjoy a piece of Americana!

Barnstormer of a brainstorm Many moons ago, I learned that brainstorming was an art form – one that required focus, concentration, and a sense of humor. For brainstorming is a process by which ideas are generated, not all of which are possible, plausible, or even good.

In fact, the point of getting all the “bad” ideas out there on the table, including the completely audaciously laughable ones, is to allow for the flowing of creativity, which inspire the good or truly great ideas.

So, in the process of brainstorming, lots of ideas including some fantastically bad ones will come out. As we’re all thinking about all the great things that we can bring to Chaska, I’ll just throw some bad ones out there to get them out of the way, and maybe inspire some real good ones.

No. 5: World’s First 18-Hole Indoor Golf Course: Indoor driving ranges are a mere tease to the true golfer.

They’re just enough to get your hopes up – only to be zapped by a lightning strike or a couple of pesky feet of snow.

If they can build an indoor ski slope in Dubai, what’s to stop some hearty Minnesotans from building year-around golfing here in Minnesota?

Aside from a couple hundred million dollars. And don’t get me started on the point of golf being outside. There are indoor ski slopes in the Netherlands, Russia, China,

Mike

HUANG COMMUNITY COLUMNIST

New Zealand, and the UK. We have more golf courses per capita in Minnesota than any other state in the U.S. Let’s face it, if anyone needs to get out and hit a full round of golf in the middle of January, it’s someone from here.

Chaska residents would get dibs on tee times, of course.

No. 4: NASCAR Track Yee-Haww! According to a Harris Poll, the top 6 sports by viewership in the U.S .are (starting from No. 1): pro football, baseball, college football, auto racing, pro basketball, and hockey. You can find national-level competition for every single one of these events here in the Twin Cities, with the exception of one.

So what about auto racing?

I’m not talking about Elko or Raceway Park – how about NASCAR? 80 million views watch every weekend. Build a track like Chicagoland, Kentucky, or Kansas City, and we’ll host nearly 70,000

spectators in a weekend. Each race car generates 130 db at full throttle – imagine how cool it would be to have a field of 43 running for three or four hours right in our own backyard!

Get some earplugs though – 115 db for more than 15 minutes can cause permanent hearing loss. But not to worry, that’s only three to four weekends a year. The rest of the time, the track is pretty much gathering dust.

No. 3: Vegas Casino Sure, there’s that minor problem of legalizing gambling and creating competition for Mystic Lake and Canterbury.

And may be if we got a line of casinos together, we’d have the “Vegas of the North.” Then we could market ourselves with a slogan like “What happens in Chaska stays in Chaska.”

Maybe not.

No. 2: Disney Resort We wouldn’t need to have the 25,000-acre, mega-resort in Florida. After all, Hong Kong Disney is on 311 acres, and the Disneyland Resort (including parking) in California is just over 500 acres – although it feels like a lot more!

Look at the benefits: easy access to the “Happiest Place in the World,” discount passes, you save a bundle of cash on airfare, all your family from out-of-state that never visits will be asking to stay with you on their vacation, and we’ll have 20,000 jobs in the city limits.

The downsides – 20,000 jobs in the city limits, and all your family from out of state that never visits will be asking to stay with you on their vacation.

No. 1: Minnesota Vikings Stadium Hey, what’s not to like here?

Sure, it would take about 100 to 150 acres to build a stadium (actually about 25 for the stadium complex itself, and the rest for parking and landscaping if we’re talking a field like what the Arizona Cardinals have).

People from all around the Twin Cities and throughout Minnesota would come down to our neck of the woods and discover the wonderful town that is Chaska, infusing our downtown with additional boost to revenue, and put us on the map more regularly than the PGA does.

What’s the downside, besides 70,000 friends, family and total strangers showing up eight or nine Sundays a year – in our community of 23,000 – to watch the Vikes get their hopes dashed?

Packers fans. In our bars.

Rubbing it in.

Yes, there are some truly bad ideas.

Now that we’ve gotten the BAD ideas out of the way, what GOOD ideas do you have? I’d love to hear them to share with others! Send me an e-mail with your suggestions.

STEWART GUEST COMMENTARY

SUBMITTED PHOTO

This sign inspired a sermon and column by the Rev. Gordon Stewart, with Shepherd of the Hill Presbyterian Church.

“I thought for a time of becoming a minister. But then I read that little-known passage from the Bible: ‘Thou shalt walk among the false prophets, and bargain with the moneychangers, and dwell in the house of strife and discord.’ So I decided to go into politics.” – Walter Mondale “Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession.

I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.” – Ronald Reagan “I could not be leading a religious life unless I identified myself with the whole of mankind, and that I could not do unless I took part in politics,” – Mohandas K. Gandhi, Non-Violence in Peace and War, 1948 It is the whole – the nation itself – that is at risk today in the Bull’s pasture. The clock is ticking. If our national leaders – the partisan advocates we, the American people, have elected – remain stuck on the horns of partisanship, the Bull of entrenched interests and ideology will gore us and rule the pasture because wisdom was nowhere to be found.

This is a time for the wisdom of Solomon, who demonstrated wisdom in the classic biblical story of two members of the world’s oldest profession who come before him to resolve a stalemate.

The two conflicted prostitutes put the King’s wisdom to the test with competing claims about a child. Each has given birth to a child. One of the babies has died; the other has lived. Both mothers claim to be the real mother of the surviving child. “‘The living one is my son,’” said the first

mother, ‘the dead one is yours’ But the other insisted, ‘No! The dead one is yours; the living one is mine.’ And so they argued before the king.

“Then the king said, ‘Bring me a sword.’ So they brought a sword for the king. He then gave an order: ‘Cut the living child in two and give half to the one and half to the other.’

“The woman whose son was alive was filled with compassion for her son and said to the king, ‘Please, my Lord, give her [the other woman] the living baby! Don’t kill him!’ But the other said, ‘Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two!” Then the king gave his ruling: ‘Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother.’”

Those who do not love this country will cut the baby in half. Those who love her will require that the members of the second oldest profession put aside their swords to follow the way of timely wisdom.

Before they kill the country and leave us wounded in the Bull’s pasture, we need to demand from our elected representatives the wisdom of Solomon who, because he exposed the truth that lay beneath the posturing, saved the baby. Only a fool would cut the baby in half…or turn the pasture over the Bull.

This column was a sermon preached Sunday, July 24 at Shepherd of the Hill Presbyterian Church in Chaska. The Rev. Gordon Stewart is pastor of Shepherd of the Hill, at 145 Engler Boulevard in Chaska; and host of the First Tuesday Dialogues: Examining critical public issues locally and globally.

conveniently failed to mention was that the Republicans wanted to keep the state operating and offered a lights on bill but Dayton said ‘No.’ The Republicans wanted to avoid a state shutdown but Dayton said ‘No.’ They wanted to keep all of the state workers on the job but Dayton said ‘No.’ They also wanted to keep the state parks and buildings open but Dayton said “No.” From the beginning it almost appeared that Dayton wanted to have a shutdown so he could blame the Republicans, but it was he that caused it. Contrary to the letter writer’s belief, it was Dayton’s ‘no, no, no’ that

sounded like a dictatorship!

So what does Dayton do after being responsible for shutting down the state, he started on an around the state tour to preach his failed message. During that tour he must have heard an overwhelming majority of negative comments from Minnesotans about his failure to keep the state operating.

Then in typical Dayton fashion, he did not fi nish what he started and he returned to St. Paul apparently ready to compromise and stop saying “No.” It is reasonable to believe that if they had continued to work on a solution during the Republican offer to keep the

lights on bill, they may have come to the same resolution without laying off the state workers and closing the state parks and buildings during a state shutdown.

Do I believe the Republicans are without fault, absolutely not, but for sure they do not have an 80 percent share of the blame as stated by the self proclaimed centralist letter writer.

If his numbers were reversed to 80 percent the fault of Dayton and the Democratic leadership the numbers would at least be closer to reality!

Driving past a sign last week, I couldn’t help but think of the untimely face-off on the debt ceiling in our nation’s capitol. The sign stated “Don’t cross this field unless you can do it in 9.9 seconds … the bull can do it in 10!”

The clock is ticking. In a few more minutes we – the USA – won’t have time make it across the field.

As our nation’s leaders brandish their partisan swords with 9.8 seconds left to make it across the field without defaulting, I thought of them in light of King Solomon’s dream in which God invites Solomon, the new King, to ask whatever he wants. “Give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people…” says the young Solomon. The reply comes in these words: “Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart…”

(Hebrew Bible, I Kings 3:5-12).

Since I have no wisdom as to what solution our leaders should take across the field to protect the nation’s financial and civic health, I decided to look for wisdom from our history that shine some light on the darkness while making us laugh as the same time.

Here are a few of what I found.

“Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress – but I repeat myself.” – Mark Twain “He knows all the facts, and he’s against all the solutions.”

– Robert Kennedy, referring to Daniel Patrick Moynihan “All political parties die at last of swallowing their own lies.” – John Arburthnot, 1887 “If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all.” – Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Francis Hopkinson, 1789 “Saying we should keep the two party system simply because it is working is like saying the Titanic voyage was a success because a few people survived on life rafts.”

– Eugene McCarthy “A sect or party is an elegant incognito devised to save a man from the vexation of thinking.” – Ralph Waldo

PROVERB OF THE MONTH: “Call on God, but row away from the rocks.” – Indian Proverb

Movement spawned ‘no ordinary love’

Youth ministry begins seminar for parents Parenting your adult child

BY FORREST ADAMS fadams@swpub.com

BY DOUG PETERSON

I love hearing stories of extraordinary love. Don’t you? During the recent government shutdown I read of government employees working with the poor who conDoug tinued to serve their Peterson clients without pay because they cared about their needs.

This is love. A new and mysterious love movement was started over 2,000 years ago and continues today. It began as Jesus was tortured and died a criminal’s death to take the penalty for the sins of the entire world, including mine and yours. What would make a person willingly lay down his life for others? It was love. Certainly, this was no ordinary love.

This movement of love continued with a group of followers who became known as the early church.

People went into their communities “in the name of Christ” and put into practice the things that Jesus had taught. They clothed the needy, fed the hungry, gave drinks to the thirsty, welcomed strangers into their homes, cared for the sick, and visited those in prison. They believed Jesus when he told them that when you serve “the least of these” you are serving me. In fact, through these acts of loving others, and thus identifying themselves as followers of Jesus, their lives were threatened, and some were martyred, yet they continued to serve, and their numbers surprisingly grew! This was no ordinary love.

In the 2,000 years since the beginning of this movement, love has continued to be the mark of Christians that is most compelling. There certainly have been times and places during those 2,000 years where many who called themselves Christ-followers, or Christians, did not exhibit this mark of love. This is confusing and difficult to understand. But, even in those times, we can find the faithful remnant of true followers who continued to love and put into practice their faith in Jesus, their leader and savior. In the face of persecution and oppression, they continued to obey Jesus’ twin commands, “Love your God… and love your neighbor…” This was no ordinary love.

This movement of love continues today, in our time, wherever Christians are reaching out to meet the needs of the poor and broken in local communities around the world. For Christians, loving others is part of our DNA. If we have experienced the life-changing love of God in our lives, received forgiveness of sins through

Christ’s death and resurrection, then loving others is the natural result.

Jesus words to his closest friends the night before his death reveals what kind of love this is. “A new command I give you: love one another.

As I have loved you, so you must love one another. If you love one another, then everyone will know that you are my disciples” (John 13:34-35). We are talking about the fullest, deepest love the world has ever known.

Jesus makes it clear it is this kind of love that will be the true mark of the Christian. This is no ordinary love.

For the past four years Love In the Name of Christ (Love INC) of Eastern Carver County has tried to live out, and put into practice, this kind of extraordinary love. Love In the Name of Christ is a network of two dozen Christian churches that have come together as the larger body of Christ, across denominations, to love their neighbors in need. Love INC provides practical ways for Christians to express Christ’s love, and remind those in need that they are not alone; they are loved by those in our community, and they are loved by God. What does this love actually look like? In many cases, people donate items that are then given to those in need — all in the name of Christ. These items include used beds, dressers, tables and chairs, bicycles, blankets, sheets, towels, packages of diapers, new or used car seats, new baby cribs, soap, shampoo, toilet paper, dishes, cleaning supplies, laundry or dish detergent, and much more. Sometimes this love is shown by a volunteers providing a ride, mentoring regarding finances, teaching skills to find work, or helping with household chores.

It’s exciting to be a part of a movement that is over 2,000 years old, where we see God using his people to transform lives and communities in the name of Christ. This is no ordinary love.

Doug Peterson is the executive director of Love INC of Eastern Carver County.

Launch Ministry began blasting into the fabric of eastern Carver County about two years ago a s le ader s of t he Christian nonprofit Corey organization took Magstadt aim at the spiritual needs of struggling young adults, ages 18 to 25.

The ministry, which raises support through individual donations and the sale of fair trade coffee from Guatemala and Costa Rica, found its niche by serving a portion of the population that often fends for itself in affluent suburbia.

They are young adults who haven’t gone off to college, started their careers, gotten married, bought a house or begun their families. They haven’t lived the stereotypical American dream.

It’s a segment of the community that needs help, said Corey Magstadt, Launch Ministry founder.

Since its founding, Launch Ministry has sought out and tried to help young people transform their lives by exposing them to what Magstadt calls “opportunities that will promote healthy, productive transitions into adulthood.”

But this fall the ministry is scheduled to enter new territory by reaching out to parents of teen and adult kids, who may be involved in Launch Ministry.

Magstadt said he’s developing a curriculum that he hopes will provide a time for parents of adult children and teens who are struggling to encourage

one another, network with one another and learn tips about guiding children’s transition into adulthood.

A Launch Ministry volunteer supporter, Mary Rabai of Chanhassen, said she thought the parenting classes would allow for parents to join together in a hopeful, positive, humorous and non-judgmental environment.

For more information, call Magstadt at (952) 261- 46 0 6 or e -mail corey@launchministry.org.

MENTOR RECRUITMENT About 20 youth, who are living between adolescence and adulthood, now participate in a weekly Launch Ministry Bible study/support group, according to Magstadt. He said the group meetings are good times for growth and learning, and they have the potential to transform participants’ lives.

“Holistic li fe transformation, transformation that affects all aspects of life, is at the heart of our ministry,” Magstadt said.

Each participant is assigned an adult mentor and works with that person to make positive choices and set goals related to jobs, education and character development — “life skills,” Magstadt calls them. However, a shortage of volunteers has resulted in about half the participants with no mentor at all.

Currently five people serve as mentors for Launch Ministry. Magstadt said he could probably use seven or eight new people and put them to work right away.”

The next mentor training for Launch Ministry is scheduled for 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Sept. 10, in a place that has yet to be determined.

RSVP to Magstadt.

‘INVISIBLE’ POPULATION Chaska Police Chief Scott Knight said the population Launch Ministry serves is living among us but remains “either invisible or ignored.”

www.ChaskaHerald. com/news/obituaries This information is updated daily.

Retired Chaska Mayor Bob Roepke agreed with that sentiment. Both men said that many of the struggling 18 to 25 year olds in the area are homeless, as well.

“A lot of people across our county are insulated from this, in terms of understanding the significance of the issue and the need,” Roepke said. “Maybe the assumption is we don’t have as much of a problem with homelessness as they have in the core cities. The problem is real. The problem is growing.”

Both Knight and Roepke are enthusiastic Launch Ministry supporters, with Knight calling Corey Magstadt “the Mother Teresa of this area.”

“What’s unique about this population that Corey serves is they’re legally adults,” he said. “Because of their legal status, they are virtually underserved by every organization. A lot of them have no support. Many of them haven’t had the benefit of the structure or guidance of adult role models. They don’t have anywhere to turn, but Corey is there to support them.”

Roepke said community acknowledgment of and a willingness to address the problems facing this 18- to 25-year-old population would be a dramatic community improvement.

“The word community means a place for everyone,” he said. “I’d like to see the community respond to the need we have. The concept of community has always been important to us. This is an example of how we can reach out and address a need.”

“I think the best-case scenario is that we more clearly defi ne the need that exists,” Roepke said. “The end result would be that we address this hopeless feeling, so we don’t have young adults in our community who feel like they have nowhere to turn.

There is hope and possibility for everyone. There are times when people need to hang out to support, so they know where to turn. It gives them hope that they can move forward.”

PEACE, MAN The Peace Committee arrived at the 1966 County Fair. The Waconia Patriot recorded the event in its Aug. 4 1966 edition.

The “pacifists” were “a group that wasn’t very welcome.”

They were “a number of young people who were protesting the war in Vietnam with a booth in the School Exhibits building.”

The St. Paul Sunday Pioneer Press even covered their “eviction” from fairgrounds. The most interesting of comments from these articles uses the term “Communist-inspired” to describe the group.

Four years later, in June 1970, Ron Ortlip and two others members representing the Carver County Peace Committee asked for a booth at the 1970 fair. The secretarial report notes that their objective was to “break down barriers and communicate to young and old concerning opposition to war.”

A secret ballot was motioned for and accepted. The results were 10 “no” and 1 “yes.” The Peace Committee did not take the “no” sitting down however.

On Aug. 6, 1970, a Western Union telegram was received from attorneys representing the Minnesota Civil Liberties Union. The telegram caused the

next meeting in August to be attended by Sheriff Les Melchert, Attorney Paul Melchert and two associates, Carver County Peace Committee attorney Bill Kampf, members of the Minnesota Civil Liberties Union, and county residents Ron Ortlip, John Thom, Jay Gramith, Larry Meuwissen and Charles Weinzierl.

The result of this meeting was a handwritten resolution by the fair board to allow the Carver County Peace Committee a booth at the 1970 fair. To avoid violence, no literature would be allowed on the Midway, they would operate in good faith with no political speeches.

A “very special meeting” was called on Aug. 10, 1970. At this meeting the VFW, Sheriff Melchert and attorneys met and agreed that there would be no violence between organizations.

The 100th anniversary of the Carver County Fair is being celebrated this year in Waconia, Aug. 10-14.

An event of this magnitude immediately put me in the hunt researching, to learn the nuances of this well known event.

My first stop was to pick up the secretarial notes from the Waconia fair office. These minutes cover the years of 1911 through 1986. There is a problem with research however.

I have often told people who are researching their family tree, that if they look hard enough they might fi nd a few nuts. Well, in this case there weren’t exactly nuts, more like interesting facts. Let me give you a few examples.

A fair in the days before the big event we now know as the county fair, was simply a day that farmers brought items into town to sell or just to show off. All communities had fairs, most occurring once a month, sometimes weekly. These fair have evolved into farmers markets or in some cases the yearly community event.

Did you know that this is the second 100 year anniversary celebrated by the Waconia Carver County Fair? The fi rst one was celebrated in 1958 to celebrate the 100 years since the Carver County Agricultural Society was formed July 20, 1858.

The first county fair was held Oct. 10, 1858 in Chaska! The following year it was moved to the city of Carver, where it stayed until 1882. It was located in Chaska between 1883 and 1886 then back it came to Carver.

In 1911, Waconia decided it was more centrally located and started its own county fair. The 1911 fair was located along the shores of Lake Waconia (known in 1911 as Clearwater Lake), where Bayview Elementary is now located.

The County Fair received, and still receives, funds from the state of Minnesota to offset the costs of premiums. In 1912, both Waconia and Carver applied for these funds.

The state ruled that Carver was the official county fair, as the Waconia fair was not incorporated. That year Waconia had to eat a $300 loss, but quickly set the record straight and incorporated as the Waconia Fair Association. Why did they not incorporate as the Carver County Agricultural Society?

The name had already been claimed and there can only be one Agricultural Society in each county.

In following years, the state divided the funding between the two cities. The Waconia Fair Association eventually folded and formally became the Carver County Agricultural Society on April 30, 1953, after Carver relinquished the name.

Carver and Waconia vied for the title of the Carver County Fair for many years. Each one advertising that it had the biggest and best fair.

This competition continued until the late 1930s when Carver acquiesced to Waconia. In true Carver County spirit, Carver moved two building from the Carver fairgrounds to the Waconia fairgrounds. The two buildings – Ozzy’s and the Lion’s cheese curd stand – are still in use. The French fry stand is the only remaining building from the 1911 Waconia fair.

Did you know that this is the second 100 year anniversary celebrated by the Waconia Carver County Fair? The fi rst one was celebrated in 1958 to celebrate the 100 years since the Carver County Agricultural Society was formed July 20, 1858.

The first county fair was held Oct. 10, 1858 in Chaska! The following year it was moved to the city of Carver, where it stayed until 1882. It was located in Chaska between 1883 and 1886 then back it came to Carver.

In 1911, Waconia decided it was more centrally located and started its own county fair. The 1911 fair was located along the shores of Lake Waconia (known in 1911 as Clearwater Lake), where Bayview Elementary is now located.

The County Fair received, and still receives, funds from the state of Minnesota to offset the costs of premiums. In 1912, both Waconia and Carver applied for these funds.

The state ruled that Carver was the official county fair, as the Waconia fair was not incorporated. That year Waconia had to eat a $300 loss, but quickly set the record straight and incorporated as the Waconia Fair Association. Why did they not incorporate as the Carver County Agricultural Society?

The name had already been claimed and there can only be one Agricultural Society in each county.

In following years, the state divided the funding between the two cities. The Waconia Fair Association eventually folded and formally became the Carver County Agricultural Society on April 30, 1953, after Carver relinquished the name.

Carver and Waconia vied for the title of the Carver County Fair for many years. Each one advertising that it had the biggest and best fair.

This competition continued until the late 1930s when Carver acquiesced to Waconia. In true Carver County spirit, Carver moved two building from the Carver fairgrounds to the Waconia fairgrounds. The two buildings – Ozzy’s and the Lion’s cheese curd stand – are still in use. The French fry stand is the only remaining building from the 1911 Waconia fair.

Stream of consciousness

For 76-year-old Don Javurek, stream monitoring was always a good reason to get up in the morning and enjoy a bit of the great outdoors. “I’ve always been an avid outdoorsman,� he said.

For the last 10 years, the Chaska resident has been monitoring local streams and tracking their clarity as part of the Citizen Stream Monitoring Program. The program provides data to understand the health of a body of water. “In much the same way that blood pressure can alert a doctor to changes in a patient’s health, a robust record of water clarity data can help scientists track the health of a stream or lake,� stated Volunteer Coordi-

nator Laurie Sovell, in a press release.

Javurek was recently recognized by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for his work with the stream monitoring program. He is one of 1,700 volunteers across the state participating in the program by committing to visiting their lake or stream weekly from the spring through the fall.

Javurek got started by going to an informational meeting where they were demonstrating how to monitor water. Soon he was doing his own monitoring at Sand Creek near Jordan. “That progressed to the Minnesota River and then to East Creek [in Chaska],� he said.

Clarity is recorded using a Secchi Disc that allows the reader to note how far down under the water surface the disc can still be seen.

Jav u r ek s a id t h at E a s t Creek was always pretty clear during his time monitoring it. He estimated that he could see about three-quarters of the way to the creek’s bottom.

Opens August 5!

However, the Minnesota River was a different story. “The best I ever got there was probably 50 percent,� he said, noting that clarity was largely seasonal, with spring providing the worst results due to runoff.

Water wasn’t the only thing Javurek was checking out during his weekly trips. On many of his early morning treks he also got a chance to view some of the area’s wildlife – including bald eagles. “It gets to be like a hobby,� he said. “And it’s good because it gets me out of the house.�

Tree’s bad habits are a thorny topic A few weeks ago as I neared the parking lot of my church, I was surprised to see small drifts of cottonwood tree “cotton� along the street curbs. It got me to thinking about the habits, good and bad, of trees and other plants.

Too often we discover bad habits of trees years after the trees are in the ground — too late to do much about the bad habits, in other words. Sometimes we inherit the problems when we purchase a different home. Many bad habits of trees don’t star t showing up for years after planting. The nuisance cotton from cottonwoods doesn’t begin for six or seven years on most trees.

Most plants have both good and bad habits and the decision often is, do the good habits (i.e., shade, tasty fruit, fall color) outweigh the bad habits (i.e., poor branching, brittle branches, roots that grow above ground)?

I recently cut down a vigorous Aralia spinosa tree because I decided its bad habits outweighed its good habits.

Two common names for Aralia spinosa are Devil’s walkingstick and Hercules’ club. These

Cliff

wicked-sounding monikers are fitting for the tree’s needlesharp, 3/4-inch-long thorns that protrude from the trunk and branches.

I planted Aralia spinosa because it is sort of a novelty that was fun to show off to visitors and my grandchildren. I could have lived with the thorns but another bad habit of Aralia spinosa is its propensity to sucker. More than a dozen new shoots had begun popping up in a 10-foot circle around the original tree. At the rate the tree was suckering, it would have created an impenetrable forest of thorny tree trunks in a couple more years. Now I’ll

probably be removing suckers for years to come.

One of the most frustrating bad habits of trees is poor branching structure, which generally means narrow, vshaped crotches. Narrow, vshaped branch unions are not as strong as U-shaped (more rounded) branch unions. As the branch grows and adds weight, this tight crotch is more susceptible to wind shear. When the branch breaks in a storm, it tends to rip out a wide vertical section of the trunk, which severely weakens the tree.

Freeman maples (Acer x freemanii) have become very popular landscape trees because of their beautiful fall color. One of the most popular Freeman maples is ‘Autumn Blaze.’ I planted my Autumn Blaze about 15 years ago and it’s now more than 40 feet tall.

I didn’t pay attention to the narrow-crotch branching habit of Autumn Blaze until several years after it was in the ground.

By then, the branches on this fast-growing tree were already high up in the canopy and difficult to prune.

If you plant an Autumn Blaze, my advice is to start pruning out

the v-shaped branches the year you put it in the ground and continue pruning every year.

I like red oaks but I’ve decided they should only be planted where they have lots of shoulder room to grow horizontally, rather than be shoe-horned into a tight landscape and forced to grow straight up to claim their share of sunlight. A red oak that can grow wide is a beautiful thing, but a red oak that can only grow vertically produces little more to appreciate than a bare trunk.

Owners of new-construction homes often shop for and install the fastest-growing trees (e.g., silver maple, cottonwood, poplar, willow) they can fi nd.

Unfortunately, fastest-growing trees often have the worst habits. Silver maples are notorious for shedding brittle branches in storms and growing roots above ground as they mature.

A homeowner once called me, asking if I knew any oak species that didn’t bear acorns.

I said I thought every oak species produced acorns. As an afterthought, I asked what he had against acorns. “Well, I like to walk under my trees barefoot, and the acorns hurt my feet,� he

I’ve read that the ginkgo tree is the oldest living organism on our planet, surviving with little or no change in appearance for 150 million years.

People who plant a fema le ginkgo tree generally discover that the tree, at maturity, “produces a fruit that drops, rots, makes a mess and stinks to high heaven,� according to one

of my tree reference books.

Bad habits of trees can be depressing because they generally get more severe as the tree matures. Best advice is to do your research and choose a tree that won’t surprise you with bad habits five or 10 years down the road.

County to seek state funds for Waconia public access

Carver County is enlisting financial support from the state to help pay for a public access at Lake Waconia Regional Park.

The county is seeking $2.8 million in state bonding to pay for half of the total project cost, which includes purchasing a 19-acre site adjacent to the county-owned park.

A public access has been included in long-range plans for the park and the current access on Lake Waconia is inadequate, according to a staff report. “The current public access is often overflowing with many vehicles that park along County Road 92,� the staff report said. “A second public boat access will help satisfy user demand and contribute

Food shelf holds open house

to improved safety of County Road 92.�

County commissioners voted 3-1 to pursue state funding support in 2012.

Due to the value of the land and development cost, funding provided by the Metropolitan Council and county are inadequate, according to the report.

Commissioner Tom Workman, of Chanhassen, voted against the plan and questioned whether state legislators would support it.

Workman said pursuing state fi nancial support would be futile if legislators don’t back the proposal.

Commissioner Tim Lynch, who represents Waconia, said if legislators don’t back the plan that would be their “political statement.�

County Administrator David Hemze said because of the

current economic climate, it could still be a “long shot� to get state funding to help with the project.

Earlier this year, the county had put the public access question on hold because it wasn’t clear if the land owner was interested in selling the property.

However, Hemze said it is now clear the property owner is willing to sell.

Last winter, the appraised value of the land was $3 million, although the land was being marketed for $9 million.

In last week’s staff report, the total cost of the project was $5.7 million, with the county’s share at $1.15 million. The source of the county money has yet to be determined. If a new public access is built, additional county staffing would also be required to operate the boat access.

The Bountiful Basket Food Shelf of Eastern Carver County will have an open house at its

new location in Chaska from 4-6 p.m. on Friday, July 29.

The food shelf moved into the old Snyders Drug building at the southwest corner of Highway 41 and Co. Rd. 61 after Chaska’s CAP Agency offices

closed in late June.

The public is welcome and encouraged to stop the open house and see the new location. For more information call Bountiful Basket at (952) 556-0244.

Scent

Details matter

Whether they know it or not, people entering your home will notice more than just appearances. Attractive scents can create good feelings. Candles, diffusers, potpourri and cookies all offer inviting and familiar aromas. Use a cleaner with a pleasant scent to keep your home smelling fresh.

Eliminate any small imperfections that might cause uneasiness with potential buyers by replacing broken light bulbs, ďŹ xing loose doorknobs or getting your closet door moving smoothly on it tracks. Even something as minor as a little mess in the microwave could turn off a prospective renter or buyer,

so make sure every place you can think of is squeaky clean.

Selling? Try these tips for making your home more attractive

F

irst impressions are important and the same holds true when you are showcasing your home for a potential sale. While larger home improvement projects are often necessary to catch the eye of someone in the market for a new home, they require a great deal of time and money. Sometimes simple cleaning and organization is all that is needed to appeal to potential buyers.

Home staging expert and TLC host Lisa Lynch says giving the perception of a clean home is of utmost importance for people looking to sell or rent their homes. “Presenting a sparkling clean property gives the impression that it was well maintained,� says Lynch. “This gives potential buyers and renters a feeling of security. Often they will pay a premium for a place that has been well-maintained and has a clean appearance.�

Lynch offers these tips to impress your guests and convince potential buyers

that you took outstanding care of your home.

Simplify Begin by de-cluttering your home. By removing personal items that might distract prospective buyers, you’ll help them focus on how they think the home might look when they move in.

Neutralize When showing your home to others, set your personal tastes aside by decorating in a way that will appeal to a broad range of people. Think about replacing strong patterns with solid colors on items like bedding, carpets and drapes.

It might also be a good call to store that dramatic piece of art somewhere out of sight. You can show it off again when you move into your new house.

A photogenic home Many potential buyers will make decisions on which homes they would like to look at by looking at photos posted online. Do whatever you can to make your home sparkle in the images you and your real estate agent select for

your listing. Focus on glass and metal surfaces that will add shine to your photos. For other bathroom surfaces, a bath scrubber like Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Bath Scrubber should be used to remove easy-to-spot and unappealing grime and scum from bathtubs and showers.

Thoroughly cleaning these surfaces in bathrooms and kitchens can make your home look fresher and newer.

Areas that must sparkle While it is important to keep the entire home spotless, there are two rooms in particular that require special attention: the kitchen and the bathroom.

In a recent survey, Mr. Clean asked consumers which room they would clean ďŹ rst if moving into a new home.

Of the more than 1,000 participants, an impressive 41 percent responded the kitchen and 38 percent said the bathroom. When selling your home, it is always important to make the extra effort in these two rooms; you’ll never know if it will be a make or break a deal.

Since ďŹ rst impressions are so important, having your home properly cleaned and staged will help you make a sale or rental more quickly and net the price you deserve.

Millie Thinks we’re

CRAZY!

BY MARK W. OLSON editor@chaskaherald.com

The next “Boston Pops”?

The next “Rolling Stones”?

The next “Stomp”?

The next “Trampled by Turtles”?

You just might be seeing the next “(fi ll in the blank)” at River City Days.

For the fourth year, middle school students will be performing a variety of music at the show, under the direction of Eric Songer, a Middle School West teacher, who instructs these groups through community education.

The groups range from bluegrass to jazz to rock to percussion to orchestra.

New this year is the “Movie Band,” a 40-member concert band that plays movie themes such as “Star Wars,” “Harry Potter,” and “Kung Fu Panda.”

Another new group this year is the “Stomp” group, which performs percussion pieces with trash cans and plastic tubes.

Returning will be a garage band, which is also taught

by Heidi Songer; the Chaska Middle School Jazz Ensemble; and a bluegrass band.

“My philosophy of education is that we need to think out of the box when it comes to music education,” Songer said, of the eclectic groups.

Students who don’t have an interest in more traditional groups, such as choir and orchestra, join these other bands, Songer said. They are now getting a formal music education, Songer notes, “and not just trying to teach themselves.”

River City Days provides a chance to showcase these new talents. “I think it’s a wonderfully run event and a wonderful opportunity for kids to play in front of a big group, a big audience,” Songer said.

“And at the same time, it’s informal, so they all get nervous, but when you’re in that setting, you don’t have the lights going up and the people sitting in the auditorium staring at you, and the crowd is much more enthusiastic. The applause they get, the kids feel like rock stars.”

New Chaska history exhibit is disaster The new Chaska history exhibit is “Dealing with Disasters: Chaska’s response to Challenges.”

The exhibit will debut during River City Days at the Chaska History Center (just a stone’s throw away from City Square Park).

The exhibit showcases photos of Chaska’s past Minnesota River flood disasters. “We have all these photos of the flood and haven’t really done anything with them,” said Lisa Oberski, historical society volunteer.

Other than photos, collecting flood artifacts for the exhibit was a bit of a challenge since “everything in the flood was gone,” Oberski said.

However, the society was able to collect stories. “We incorporated lots of people’s experiences of the f lood of 1965,” Oberski said of the flood, which left an estimated 1,000 Chaskans homeless.

Visitors will learn about “ducks in the living room” a “fish sandwich” and people who

Feather hair extensions benefit cancer treatment For m a ny non-profit volunteers, River City Days is a way to advertise their organization and earn some operating money.

One of the Maria new groups at Ochoa Cit y S qu a r e Park is The Rolando Ochoa Fund for Latino Children with Cancer.

“We provide children with cancer in Ecuador with basic services such as treatment, medicines, blood transfusions, underwear, shoes, toys, crafts and other supplies,” reports organizer Maria Ochoa, who

created the fund in honor of her late father.

During River City Days the group is giving hair feather extensions and temporary glitter tattoos in return for a free will donation.

“All the funds collected will go to Instituto del Cancer SOLCA, a hospital we work with. We have an oncologist, a physical therapist, and a nurse who are coming to do some observation and training at Children’s Hospital and Clinics of Minnesota at the end of September,” states Ochoa.

“We are hoping they will be able to bring back nausea and pain medicines as well as other medical supplies that do not exist or are difficult to fi nd in Ecuador. Through this fundraiser we also hope to have enough money to help these three professionals with money

for personal expenses while in Minnesota.”

Chaska’s challenges may seem minor compared to other cities’ disasters—but for the people involved, it meant starting over. And true to their pioneer roots, Chaskans did.

The 2011 River City Display focuses on these Chaska challenges—and looks at how the citizens of this small town dealt with difficult times. Join us at the history center to explore the flood scrapbooks, see pictures of the devastation of the 1925 tornado, and share the stories of floods and fires in Chaska.

River city dAYS Meet ‘crafters of the word’ “You can’t sign a kindle! Twitters can’t speak!” notes local writer Laurel Means, with the Local Writers Group.

The Local Writers Group has organized its fi rst booth at River City Days. Writers will also be giving presentations across the street at the Moravian Church. (See the attached schedule for more information.)

“You’ll be amazed at their wide range of topics – from mystery to fiction – to memoires – to journalism,” said Means, who invites the public to browse their books and listen to their stories.

Participants include writers from the large Chanhassen/Chaska Writers Group, organized in August 2009 at the initiative of Lori Blatzheim, assisted by Unsie Zuege, with the Chanhassen Villager, and Kathy Perschmann, with the Chanhassen Library.

The group holds regular monthly meetings, led by the Chaska Library’s Angela Hunt, and Chris Lemke, on the third Saturday morning of each month. The meetings attract “some 40 writers and speakers,

Linda-Mary Mellon knows all about the struggles that families living with deployed soldiers face. With her husband, David, away preparing for deployment, she was forced to let her lawn go when her mower broke down.

Mellon shared her story with the Chaska Rotary during a presentation for the Chaska chapter of the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon program.

Immediately she had an offer for help from a meeting attendee. The next day, her yard was mowed and her

PUBLIC NOTICE

garden weeded. A few days later, she was gifted a new mower to replace her broken one.

Mellon believes the local community is more than ready for the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon program.

“There is such overwhelming support in Chaska,” she said.

Mellon will be at River City Days this weekend, manning a booth to offer more information about the program, coordinate donations and to sign up volunteers.

Beyond the Yellow Ribbon offers support to families of service members left behind during deployment. The support can be anything f rom helpi ng wit h g roceries to providing counseling. Mellon said that the local community has 30 military families with 11 facing deployment.

“There’s so much we can do for them,” she said.

Mellon wants to show military families that it’s OK to seek assistance from the community rather than relying solely on family and friends.

“Some don’t want help,” she said.

“A lot of it is pride. You don’t want to look like a weak person to your soldier.”

Mellon gets that, but she also knows that so many people are more than willing to help the families of those that serve in the military and protect our freedoms and she wants to provide an outlet to show gratitude.

“You don’t have to be in the military to support our cause,” she said.

“Whatever you can give, we will graciously take.”

Beyond the Yellow Ribbon will also hold a local kick-off event from 7-9 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 11 at the Chaska Community Center.

The Gulden ticket Willy Wonka production

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

W hen T haddeus Gu lden showed up to audition for the role of Willy Wonka in Chaska Valley Family Theatre’s summer musical “Willy Wonka,” Director Kelly Jeremiason knew Gulden had the look for the eccentric, wacky and mercurial candy impresario. Gulden’s naturally reddish orange hair, long, skinny frame and a mobile face that could be charming and sincere, and in an instant, creepy and sinister.

Putting on a summer community theater production can be challenging, Jeremiason said. Vacations, trips to the cabin, and outdoor activities take precedence over rehearsals and putting on a show.

“It’s more difficult to get auditions in summer, Jeremiason said. “I’ve pushed for us to do a kids show in summer, and this year we did. That made it easier. We auditioned 170 and have a cast of 80. Normally [in summer] we don’t get anywhere near 170 to audition. Getting 80 would have been a good number.”

But back to Gulden.

“He was a new person that showed up,” Jeremiason said.

“Out of the 170 auditioning for parts, we had some really good Willy possibilities.”

Gulden was a cast member in several high school productions at Eden Prairie High School, but never had a lead.

After graduating in 2006, he attended Brown College in Minneapolis and earned a degree in broadcasting. But he’s also expert in computers, and currently works in IT for a Twin Cities company.

“It made for a long night of casting decisions,” Jeremiason said. “Finally, we said, ‘Let’s give him a chance.’”

Gu lden’s you nger sister Emma has appeared in CVFT’s before.

“She’s been in CVFT productions, and said ‘You should

Thaddeus Gulden as Willy Wonka waves from the CVFT’s Fourth of July float, promoting the show. come along.’” Gulden said. “I’ve been interested in acting and I’ve been taking private acting lessons when I can afford them.

So I came in with high hope for the part of Willy but I was apprehensive to audition. I’m not the most charismatic guy.

“But I’ve loved “Willy Wonka” for a long time,” Gulden said. “When I was a kid, “Willy Wonka” was the fi rst video I had. I must have watched the Gene Wilder version 90 times.

I thought the part would be a good fit for me.”

Gulden has some good coaching to fall back on. His older brother Josiah Gulden is a professional actor who is currently appearing in “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” at the Jungle Theater in Minneapolis.

“Willy Wonka” has spectacular special effects, including a glass elevator, and characters

CUBS BASEBALL

MINNESOTA STATE AMATEUR GOLF

From Fairbanks to Chaska

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

K

yle Geason searched high a nd low for a team to play with.

The answer kept coming back the same – ‘We’re full.’

The Eden Prairie native and third-year Chaska Cubs third baseman finally got a break in late spring. University of Minnesota assistant baseball coach Rob Fornasiere received an e-mail asking for a corner infielder and he knew exactly who to ask – Geason.

“It was coming to the end of the season and I just couldn’t fi nd a team. Coaches fi nd opportunities for their guys to play all the time. Coach said a team in Alaska needs a third baseman, ‘You want to go? ’ The timing for me was perfect.

I couldn’t pass it up,” Geason, a three-year starter for the Gophers.

Following the college season, Geason spent five weeks playing for the Alaska Goldpanners of Fairbanks. Playing in 32 games, Geason batted .315 in 111 at-bats with 19 runs, 18 runs batted in and nine doubles. The team finished the season with a 27-8 record.

“We had a really good team.

We played a lot of teams from the West Coast. There were a number of Division I and II players. The pitching was good,” Geason said.

While it was an opportunity to grow as a baseball player as he enters his final season with the Gophers, it was also a time to experience life. Even the long road trips by bus were enjoyable, he said, as wildlife and scenery helped passed the time.

“There were endless outdoor activities in Fairbanks, including ATV’ing, fishing, kayaking, and boating to name a few.

Even though we played 18 days straight to start the summer, we did find time during the day to enjoy ourselves,” said Geason on his blog on Gophersports.com.

Geason also had to adjust to the climate and the long summer days in Alaska. Most days the sun only sets for two or three hours.

“The weather was pretty consistent. It was 60s or 70s most of the time. It wasn’t as humid as here. I had a great living situation with my host family. They had a very nice log cabin house across the street from the airport and off the Chena River, which is the main river that runs through Fairbanks. It was a great experience,” he said.

“It never gets dark during the summer. This was one of the hardest things to get accustomed to. Luckily, our host mom set up the bedroom for my roommate and I down in the dark basement. I don’t think I would have been able to sleep a wink if I was staying upstairs,” Geason added in his blog.

Chanhassen’s Jon DuToit has had quite a run on the golf course. He was third playing for Chaska High School in the State High School League championships and recently won the State Juniors title in Rochester.

Chaska Cubs third baseman Kyle Geason, in his third-year with the team, recently returned to the team after spending five weeks playing for the Alaska Goldpanners.

COMING BACK HOME Geason had the opportunity to play in a league in the Northeast part of the country after his freshman season and had a short stint with Green Bay of the Northwoods League two years ago. He had the offer to play in Green Bay last summer, but being at home and enjoying time with family and friends meant a full season with the Cubs.

“Wit h Eden P rai rie and Chaska rivals, (Athletic Park) was always my favorite place to play. It has a great atmosphere and great fans. The guys like to have fun, but they also like to compete. That’s why I love.

They’ve been very welcoming,” he said.

Geason came to the Chaska amateur team three years ago not knowing a single player. “ O b v iou s ly b ei n g f r o m around here, I knew the Cubs.

My dad played for a number of teams back in the day including Chaska and Carver and he really enjoyed his time there.

Eden Prairie doesn’t really have an organized town team so it was nice to fi nd a great group of guys,” he said.

“With Eden Prairie and Chaska rivals, (Athletic Park) was always my favorite place to play. It has a great atmosphere and great fans.”

Kyle Geason University of Minnesota and Chaska Cubs third baseman

His impact this season has been felt immediately. He hit a home run and drove in three runs in a 5-3 win over Shakopee before he departed for Alaska.

After returning, he helped the Cubs beat Prior Lake July 17 and then went 4-for-5 with two doubles and three RBIs in a 15-0 victory over New Ulm. But even for a seasoned collegiate athlete, it took a few atbats to fi nd his groove again.

“You face a consistent group of pitchers and then it changes, yeah, it takes a couple of

trips to the plate to adjust. One thing the coaches (in Alaska) stressed was being able to hit the ball the other way. You can use that approach with any pitcher,” Geason said.

With Geason back in the lineup, Chaska looks like one of the contenders in Class B.

A DREAM TO PLAY This may be Geason’s fi nal year with Chaska, at least for the immediate future. He has one year of eligibility remaining with the Gophers and if he continues to progress at the plate and in the field, a shot with a major league team might open up.

“That’s my dream is to play professionally. It’d be great to get a chance,” he said.

Geason started all 49 games as a junior for the University of Minnesota, batting .243 with 23 runs batted in, 15 runs scored, 10 doubles, and one home run.

As a sophomore, he hit .278 with 36 runs, 11 doubles, 39 RBI and four home runs.

“I hope to have a good last year. I’m going in with an allor-nothing kind-of-attitude,” he said.

SPORTS BRIEF

14 in a row for the Cubs

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Having clinched the top s e e d i n t he up c om i n g Re gion 3B playoffs already, the Chaska Cubs have had the luxury of using the fi nal two weeks of the regular season as a tune-up.

But it’s not like the Cubs have any leaking parts.

At Athletic Park on Sunday, the Cubs beat the Victoria Vics 4-1, spinning together the 14th straight win, and earning a 27-7 record. (Chaska was scheduled to close out the regular season with a game against two-time defending Class A champions Minnetonka on Wednesday, July 27, after this newspaper went to press.)

Of all the recent victories, last Thursday’s come-from-

behind victory over Savage was one of the most impressive.

The Outlaws, who entered the contest with a 25-2 record, led 5-4 heading into the bottom of the ninth inning. But the Cubs plated two runs with one out to win their 12th straight game 6-5.

Trailing by a run, Chaska got the bases loaded with one out. Justin Johnson’s hard shot to second base would have tied the game, but the throw sailed wide of the fi rst baseman sending a second runner across the plate for the win.

For the second time in a week, Pete Ohnsong earned the win in relief, fi nishing the ninth inning. Craig Gralapp started, scattering 10 hits with two strikeouts over eight innings of work.

Chaska jumped out to a 4-1

lead through four innings, but Savage rallied with a pair of runs in the sixth and solo runs in the eighth and ninth to take the 6-5 lead. Josh Korth and Cory Glieden each had two hits for the Cubs.

In the July 19 game against the Class A Minneapolis Angels, run-scoring singles from Justin Johnson, Adam Happ, and Cory Poppitz were part of an eight-hit attack from Chaska. The Cubs produced solo-run innings in the third, fourth and fi fth.

Andy Dauwalter started on the hill for the Cubs, pitching all seven innings in the heatshortened affair. He allowed six hits with two strikeouts in the shutout.

For the team’s 13th win in a row on July 22, the Cubs beat the Austin Redlegs, 9-1.

Jon DuToit has had a summer to remember. And as he looked back on the last two months, he could pinpoint his recent success on one thing – hard work.

The Chanhassen native, who placed third at the Class AAA State Golf Meet in June, won the Minnesota State Junior Boys Championship two weeks ago and then took sixth last week in the Minnesota Golf Association State Amateur Championships. He also was fourth at the AJGA W. Duncan MacMillan Classic in Maple Grove in early July.

“It’s been a lot of fun, that’s for sure,” he said. “At the start of the high school season I was in a slump. I just kept on working on my swing and I found it and it’s been great ever since.”

A senior-to-be at Chaska High School, DuToit equaled the low 18-hole score of the Minnesota State Junior Boys Championships July 14 by shooting an even-par 70 at Rochester Golf and Country Club in the second round.

The even-par score wiped out a four-stroke deficit he faced at the beginning of the day. His 36-hole total of 144 put the Chanhassen native in a tie for first place with Karter Smith of Detroit Lakes.

“It was a lot of fun playing against guys from all around the state. I knew most of them which made it even more exciting,” DuToit said. “I knew if I could shoot a decent score like even par, I would have a chance. It was a tough course and scores weren’t very low. I just said to myself, go in with a new mindset. And it worked.”

On the first playoff hole, DuToit carded a par and Smith was unable to match it, giving the Chaska Hawk golfer the tournament – his fi rst career victory at the state stage.

“He bogeyed the fi nal hole (No. 18) and I knew the pressure was all on him. I got a par and he had a bogey. It was pretty sweet,” he said.

His stellar play began at Bunker Hills in Coon Rapids in

mid-June. DuToit shot identical rounds of 73 (37-36) to place third overall (146) at the Class AAA State Meet. Max Kelly of Forest Lake, a sophomore, was the champion with a 143.

A year before, as a first-year state qualifier, he recorded a two-day score of 162 to place 55th. It was a nice jump for DuToit, dropping 16 strokes and moving up 52 places.

His high fi nish at the State High School League championship not only set the stage for his Junior Boys victory, but also a run at the MGA State Amateur Tournament in White Bear Lake last week.

Playing against former state champions and even former Nationwide Tour regulars, DuToit held his own, firing a three-day even-par score of 213. The mark tied him with three others, including current University of Minnesota golfer and state champion Robert Bell.

“I’m not going to lie, I was a bit intimidated. I mean, (Donald) Constable is one of the best golfers in college.

There were a lot of good golfers. I just wanted to play well.

I didn’t think I’d be in the second-to-last pairing in the fi nal round,” DuToit said.

He played one over-par July 18, but shot a two-under 69 on Day Two to move into fourth place overall. He matched his fi rst-day score of 72 to fi nish out the tournament July 20 in a tie for sixth place.

During the final 18 holes, he was three-over through four holes, but made birdie three times on the back-nine before shooting a bogey on hole No. 17 for the second straight day to finish plus-one for Day Three.

Constable, the 2010 runnerup, won the event by three strokes (206) over Class A champion Dillon Schultz of Springfield.

DuToit, 18, has his sight on many things in the nearfuture, including playing in a U.S. Open Amateur qualifier in North Oaks this week.

“I’m shooting for three- or four-under for the two days.

There are only a few spots available, so it’s going to be tough.

But I’m excited,” he said.

Records broken at Holy Family 5K

PHOTO BY ERIC KRAUSHAR

Chaska’s Cory Glieden walked into home plate from second base on Cory Poppitz’s two-out single in the first inning during Thursday’s game with Savage. Glieden led off the inning with a walk.

The fourth annual Holy Family Fire 5K was held July 16.

Jensen Orlow, 17, of Jordan, (second at this race in 2010) coasted down the blacktop to win the 5K with a time of 16:53. Jorge Oconitrillo, 38, of Chanhassen, came in second place with 18:10.

The women’s race saw its three-year old record broken by two finishers. Molly Eastman, 15, of Victoria set a course record of 20:35, beating the previous mark of 21:07 set at the very fi rst Fire 5K in 2008.

Last year’s race champion, Emily Castanias, 15, of Carver also beat the old course record by a wide margin, crossing the line in a 20:55 second-place

clocking. Fourteen-year-old Abby Drach of Eden Prairie rounded out the top three.

“We couldn’t have been happier with the turnout to this year’s race,” stated Jim Kappel, co-race chair and head Holy Family girls and boys cross country coach, in a press release. “ T he race is def i nitely growing in popularity as the amount of prizes and the list of generous race sponsors gets larger. Having the course record broken in each of the past two years means we are now drawing quality to runners to complement those who run as part of a healthy lifestyle. We plan for an even better race next year with hopefully more prizes and USATF 5K course certification on the way.”

In Black Hills, early bird catches wildlife views Knowing and understanding basic bi rd and anima l behavior is critical to being a successful wildlife photographer. I am not talking about an understanding of complex biological processes. No, I am talking about basic stuff. For example, last week I was in the Black Hills of South Dakota photographing with my wife and daughter. Every morning we would get up at 5 a.m. and head out to see what wildlife we could find. The mid-day temperatures were reaching well into the 90s so there was very little critter movement during the day. Any and all wildlife encounters were going to be early in the morning or at the end of the day. This is basic biological behavior.

We were driving the wildlife loop road in Custer State Park and found a nice little valley with a number of trees and a small creek running through it. We parked our RV and my wife and I gathered up our camera gear and headed out across the prairie and into the valley.

We were far enough away from the road where we wouldn’t be noticed but we were close enough to see what was going on where we parked. It was only 5:30 a.m. and the sun was just peeking over the horizon.

As we walked into the valley, a large mule deer buck spotted us and stood up. He looked

Stan

at us for a while then turned and leaped over a fallen tree and bounded off deeper into the valley. I am sure he was in search of a cool shady spot in preparation for the coming day’s heat.

We moved into the valley in hopes of photographing a spotted towhee, which is a large sparrow like bird with a long tail. The towhee was there and we did manage to get a few shots. I also wanted to make some audio recordings of this bird’s song so I hiked back to the RV and grabbed my large parabolic dish microphone and recorder. Within 20 minutes I had the recordings I was looking for. Within minutes we spotted a coyote that was trotting by on the far end of the valley. He didn’t stop so we didn’t get any images but it was great to see him anyway. Meanwhile,

two common nighthawks starting flying over head. This was fairly uncommon because these birds usually come out late in the evening. I managed a few nice in-flight images.

I could hear a western tanager singing from a tall Ponderosa pine tree so we moved over to see if we could fi nd it. Sure enough, a beautiful male was singing his heart out so I set up my recorder and managed about 3 minutes of song recordings without any background noise. I was thrilled. We wanted to get some pictures of this bird but we were looking into the sun. In order to get the sun at our backs we had to cross a tiny stream. While stepping across the stream we could see about six western chorus frogs in the water. This valley was stuffed with all sorts of critters.

The tanager cooperated and we got a few nice images. Just then a large pronghorn buck crested the hill to our right. He gave several loud high pitched snor ts because appa rent ly he was not happy with us. No doubt he wanted to join us in the cool valley and wasn’t used to sharing.

By now it was getting close to 9 a.m. and I noticed the fi rst of the many safari Jeep rides coming down the road. These are open sided Jeeps with a guide/driver who takes tourists around and points out

A pronghorn buck was on alert in a valley of the Black Hills. wildlife. They were moving fairly fast and slowed down a little bit when they passed by our RV. They couldn’t see us but we could clearly see them and I am sure they were wondering what we were seeing.

I thought to myself, this is the fi rst people we have seen all morning. Almost four hours had passed since we started photographing and recording.

It was getting a little hot and we

were about to call it a day and head back for some breakfast when the first wildlife watchers were showing up.

Obviously the people in the Jeep wanted to see some wildlife. So here is my point. If you don’t understand basic wildlife behavior you won’t see much wildlife. In the heat of the summer, don’t wait until 9 or 10 a.m. before going out. Another thing, get out of your vehicle

and look around. The chances of seeing something cool is much greater when you are moving slower and are closer to the ground and away from the road. Until next time...

Chaska volleyball team places third at Nationals The Chaska Juniors 14-1s team wrapped up its season at the 38th annual AAU National Tournament in Orlando, Fla, June 15-18. The team had high expectations heading into the 130-team tournament and certainly met those expectations by finishing tied for third, losing to the eventual tournament champions, Team PIKO from Hawaii in the semifi nal match.

The prospects of a magical season were set in place early with a strong core of players who have been teammates for a few years. Added to that strong

core were a number of talented new players who enhanced and provided depth that allowed the group to reach its full potential.

The team continually challenged itself by competing at the 15s and 16s levels for the majority of the season and responded by growing and maturing to a level where it could feel confident to compete for a national championship. Generally, not only did the team hold its own at these older levels, but more often than not succeeded and excelled.

Such was the case at t he Nat ion a l Tou r n a ment where t he majorit y of t he participants were from open clubs. To have a team from a community of our size do so well against open clubs from all around the country is quite an accomplishment.

REVIEWS “The Bullhead Queen,” by Sue Leaf This kit was provided by a grant to MELSA from Minne-

SUBMITTED PHOTO

“Alaska Scene 1” is one of the paintings on display at the Chanhassen Library by Chaska artist Art Weeks. sota’s Arts and Heritage Fund.

This book was a nominee for a Minnesota Book Award.

From University of Minnesota Press web site: “The Western approach to nature has always operated under both spiritual and scientific views. While Christianity decrees that human beings have dominion over nature, evolutionary biology teaches us that we are but highly adapted animals among a biological network of millions of other species. What is our proper relationship to wild animals — and what is our responsibility to them?

“In ‘The Bullhead Queen,’ Sue Leaf exemplifies the moral aspect of humans to nature through a collection of engaging meditations on the places she sees every day on Pioneer Lake in east-central Minnesota.

“Reflecting on the birds she peers at through binoculars and the Lutheran church that anchors the lake’s southern shore, Leaf contemplates how her relationship to nature has

been colored by the Christian theology of her childhood.

“Acknowledging the influence of the church on her view of the natural world, she follows the liturgical calendar as a thread, chronicling the change of seasons over the year.

“Leaf considers the results of the assumption that nature is ours to use: we continue to fish, trap, and hunt animals whose populations are ghosts of their former selves and produce mounting environmental pressures on their habitats.

“Obser vi ng t he ways i n which the heavy hand of human beings has changed the landscape of Pioneer Lake, and many others like it, she also rejoices in the ways in which the lakes remain wild and exuberant, influencing the lives of all who encounter them.”

K athy P e rs c hm ann i s a Chaska resident and assistant branch manager of the Chanhassen Library. She can be reached at kperschmann@ co.carver.mn.us.

By Order of the Planning Director Kevin Ringwald (Published in the Chaska Herald on Thursday, July 28 and August 4, 2011; No. 6385) CITY OF CHASKA CHASKA, MINNESOTA BEFORE CHASKA CITY COUNCIL NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT HEARING ON PROPERTY IN CHEVALLE T O W H O M I T M AY C O N CERN: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that the City Council of the City of Chaska, Minnesota, will meet on Monday, the 15th day of August, 2011, at 7:00 P.M. in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, One City Hall Plaza, Chaska, Minnesota, 55318-1962, to consider, and possibly adopt, the proposed assessment for property in Chevalle. The general nature of the improvements involves costs incurred by Laketown Township related to unpaid tax reimbursements for annexation of certain properties in Chaska. Said assessment is consistent with Minnesota Statutes, Sections 429.011 to 429.11. Adoption by the City Council of the proposed assessment may occur at the meeting.

The area proposed to be assessed includes: Outlots L & N, Chevalle; Outlot D, Chevalle 3rd Addition; Outlots A, B & E Chevalle 5th Addition; Outlots B & C, Chevalle 8th Addition; and, Outlots A & B, Chevalle 9th Addition.

Such assessment is proposed to be payable in equal annual install-

ments of both principal and interest extending over a period of five (5) years, the first of the installments to be payable on or before the first Monday in January 2012, and will bear interest at the rate of five (5) percent per annum from the date of the adoption of the assessment resolution. To the first installment shall be added interest on the entire assessment from the date of the assessment resolution until December 31, 2012. To each subsequent installment when due shall be added interest for one year on all unpaid installments.

You may at any time prior to certification of the assessment to the county auditor, pay the entire assessment on such property, with interest accrued to the date of payment, to the city treasurer. No interest shall be charged if the entire assessment is paid within 30 days from the adoption of this assessment. You may at any time thereafter pay to the city treasurer the entire amount of the assessment remaining unpaid, with interest accrued to December 31 of the year in which such payment is made.

Such payment must be made before November 15 or interest will be charged through December 31 of the succeeding year. If you decide not to prepay the assessment before the date given above, the rate of interest that will apply is five (5) percent per year. The option to partially prepay the assessment is not available.

The proposed assessment roll is on file for public inspection at the City Clerk’s office. The total amounts of the proposed assessment is $59,665. Written or oral objections will be considered at the meeting. No appeal may be taken as to the amount of an assessment unless a signed, written objection is filed with the Clerk prior to the hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing. The Council may, upon such notice, consider any objection to the amount of a proposed individual assessment at an adjourned meeting upon such further notice to the affected property owner(s) as it deems advisable.

Under Minnesota Statutes, Section 435.193 to 435.195, and City Ordinance, Chapter 20.5, Article II, Sections 26 – 30, the Council may, at its discretion, defer the payment of the special assessment for any homestead property owned by a person 65 years of age or older, or retired by virtue of a permanent and total disability, for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments. When deferment of the special assessments has been granted, and is terminated for any reason provided in that law, all amounts accumulated, plus applicable interest, become due. Any assessed property owner meeting the requirements of this law and Chapter 20.5 Code of Ordinances, City of Chaska, adopted under it may, within 30 days of the confirmation of the assessment, apply to the Clerk for the prescribed form for such deferral of payment of this special assessment on his property.

The owner(s) may appeal an assessment to the District Court pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.081, by serving notice of the appeal upon the Mayor or Clerk of the City of Chaska within thirty (30) days after the adoption of the assessment roll and filing such notice with the District Court within ten (10) days after service upon the Mayor or Clerk. No appeal, however, may be taken as to the amount of any assessment adopted unless a written objection signed by the affected property owner(s) is filed with the Municipal Clerk prior to the assessment hearing or presented to the presiding officer at

the hearing.

Pursuant to a separate agreement, the owner of the property subject to the proposed assessment has waived all irregularities in the assessment process and their statutory rights of appeal.

The City intends to proceed according to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429.

All persons interested may appear and be heard at said time and place.

here were you for the first ArtStock of Carver County? Be one of the folks who can look back in 25 years and say, “I was there for the very first one.”

Mark the calendar.

ArtStock of Carver County makes its splash from 2 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6, at Deardorff Orchards and Winery at Parley Lake, near Waconia. It’s an afternoon of celebrating the fruits of local artists, musicians and wine makers in an outdoor setting.

Artists will display and sell their work in booths scattered around the expansive yard of the winery and apple orchards at Deardorffs. Art includes watercolor, ceramics, photography, fiber arts, woodwork in furniture and marquettry, and local authors. Parley Lake Winery will open for wine tasting and sampling.

The event also highlights the Carver County Barn Quilt project.

The Carver County Barn Quilt project is a modern twist to the traditional quilting bee. Earlier this summer, volunteers recreated traditional quilt block designs on 8 ft. x 8 ft. wood panels. These art square panels will be installed on selected barns throughout Carver County, honoring both the quintessential symbol of Carver County’s farming heritage, the family barn, and the time-honored symbol of hearth and home, the heirloom quilt.

The very first quilt block will be unveiled at ArtStock at the Aug. 6 festival.

Barn owners Lin and Bonnie Deardorff chose the “Tree of Life” pattern block, an apt symbol for the longtime apple orchard owners. In 2005, the Deardorffs along with Deb and Steve Zeller of Victoria began Parley Lake Winery, planting vineyards next to the apple orchards. Their collaboration has created a line of wines that have won medals in the prestigious International Cold Climate Wine Competition (ICCC).

The official kick-off to the Barn Quilts of Carver County project coincides with the Carver County Fair, which opens in Waconia on Wednesday, Aug. 10. In addition to visibility at the fair, the public can take a selfguided driving tour of all the barn quilt locations, and for armchair tourists, a virtual tour will be available on the Barn Quilt website, www. barnquiltsofcarvercounty.com.

In the past two months, volunteers have been painting the quilt blocks at Suzanne Thiesfeld’s art studio in Carver. More than 50 area people have participated. The Barn Quilt project is one that has become popular throughout the Midwest in recent years.

It originated in Ohio, then spread to Iowa, Illinois, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.

According to the Barn Quilts of Carver County website, a woman named Donna Sue Groves of Adams County, Ohio, painted the first barn quilt square on her family’s tobacco barn to honor her mother, a master quilter. Since then, fans of quilting, folk art and rural life have made the project their own. It’s estimated that 1,500 painted quilt squares are displayed on barns in 24 states.

Fresh start for historic group Nonprofit organization hopes to foster heritage, tourism in Carver

BY NICK MASON nicholascmason@comcast.net

A

nonprof it corporation i n t he city of Carver is rebounding after avoiding extinction last year.

Carver-on-the-Minnesota, Inc. elected officers, established goals, started raising money and began building its membership to resume its past role as a major contributor to city life.

The organization’s mission is beautifying, restoring and improving historic Carver, its nature trails, riverfront, cultural, artistic, historic and educational amenities, its business climate and environment.

“We’ve had some preliminary meetings about what we want to be and what we want to do,” President John von Walter said. “Let’s have some fun and accomplish some things without having to use city money to do it.”

Proposed projects include landscaping Carver’s riverfront and Riverside Park, replicating a former Victorian pavilion in Riverside Park, creating docks on the Minnesota River, creating picnic and trail rest areas and overlooks, and developing trails, monuments and signs connecting old and new Carver with neighboring communities and natural surroundings.

Stated goals in keeping with its 42-year legacy are fostering historic preservation and restoration; fostering heritage, culture and nature tourism; and encouraging businesses and new building in the Carver historic district covering much of downtown.

Promoting downtown is becoming more important as Carver enters a new era of commercial growth along Highway 212 with construction of a Mills Fleet Farm store, the group’s officers agree.

“The fact it is going to be g rowi ng com mercia l ly up there spurred us to make sure development up there does not obliterate us down here,” said Secretary Annette Hentz, owner of Carver Country Flowers & Gifts, 109 Third Street East. “We want to draw people to enjoy a historic town that is preserved better than most.”

Dormant most of the past 20 years, Carver-on-the-Minnesota was in jeopardy last year of losing its federal tax-exempt status as a nonprofit corporation for lack of activity and failure to fi le annual reports, von Walter said. He submitted the paperwork before the June 30, 2010 deadline to keep the organization alive.

“We got re-established,” von Walter said. “It seemed like this is a good way to make money to do things for the city.

Our ability to apply for grants is a way we can fund things.”

Fundraising efforts already include twice-per-year Carver Village Open Air Markets (the next is scheduled 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

Sept. 24) featuring collectibles, antiques and art works at Gazebo Park; a silent auction at the Carver Lions Club’s Pork Chop Dinner April 29 at City Hall; and a used books sale temporarily located in the building housing Carver Country Flowers & Gifts.

The group’s leaders are considering additional fundraising ventures, involving home tours during the Christmas season to view interior decorations and a tour of gardens in the summer of 2012.

Carver-on-the-Minnesota currently has about 25 members, including several elected and appointed city officials.

“The main thing we want is to inform Carver residents about this group and to get more people [to become members],” Hentz said. “We can do more with more people.”

Free memberships are offered to build the base and perhaps match the community involvement of its early years.

“Let’s have some fun and accomplish some things without having to use city money to do it.”

John von Walter President Carver-on-the-Minnesota “I was on the original [governing] board,” Vice President Barbara Swanson said. “In its heyday in the 1970s, there were 35-40 people at a meeting and 200 [dues] paying members.”

EARLY YEARS Carver-on-the-Minnesota was founded in 1969 by Edith Herman, Anne Neils-Doerr, Mary Lee Dayton and Helen McNulty for the purpose of “stopping the wasteful deterioration of a typical 19th century river town.”

The driving forces, Herman and Neils-Doerr, bought six abandoned and vacant properties in the wake of 1965 record flooding, renovated them and initially rented most of them and opened them for public tours.

“The original mission was to restore the homes,” Swan-

son said. “There was a lot of community opposition to begin with. These women didn’t live here. They were from Excelsior and Minnetonka, and the Carver residents were saying, ‘Wait a minute. I don’t think so.’

“So it was an evolution of their presence and people seeing the good they did,” Swanson recalled.

T he Her ma n proper ties bought and restored were Dikeside at 121 Main Street West, Andrew G. Anderson House at 208 Main Street West and Carver Cottage at 121 Sixth Street West.

The Neils-Doerr properties

were Springside at 113 Fourth Street West, Hilldale at 412 Third Street West and The Gables at 201 Fourth Street East, which occasionally hosted antique and art shows.

Carver-on-the-Minnesota in 1970 started the community’s major annual celebration, initially named Steamboat Jubilee and now called Steamboat Days. The founders did not continue to raise enough money to maintain the celebration and turned it over to Carver Lions Club.

C u r rent of f ic ers cre d it Carver-on-the-Minnesota with spearheading creation of the National Register of Historic

Places district in Carver in 1980, the Carver Heritage Preservation Commission in 1989 and the city’s design guidelines for restoring historic structures downtown.

But its membership and influence waned after Herman and Neils-Doerr died in the early 1980s. There were occasional tea parties and lunches, but restoration projects stopped, fundraising stumbled and Carver-on-the-Minnesota sold its major assets to the city of Carver for nominal amounts, including the former Presbyterian church, now known as Church-by-the-River, 109 Main Street East.

“We didn’t continue to have enough interest. We didn’t have enough people,” Swanson said. “There were some social occasions and we had Christmas [home] tours, but nothing that generated enough money to replace the furnace in the church.

“It was starting to deteriorate, and we couldn’t stand it, so we gave it to the city,” Swanson said. “We couldn’t sell it to a private party.”

Gazebo Park, 307 Broadway, is another example of Carveron-the-Minnesota’s contributions to the community.

“We have new residents who don’t know the history,” Swanson said. “In the late 1990s, Gazebo Park was acquired by Carver-on-the-Minnesota and later sold for $1 to the city. The city was using it as a dumping ground for gravel and snow.

After we gave it to them, the gazebo was put in and now it’s a beautiful park.”
