Mayer Republican Rep. Ernie Leidiger, waving from a float set up for him by the Carver County Republican Party, was the only local legislator to participate in Monday’s Fourth of July parade in Chanhassen.

uring the Chanhassen Fourth of July parade Monday, Erik Salveson described himself as one of the few Democrats in Carver County. But what the Waconia resident said about the state government shutdown was not unique. “The best-case scenario would have been no government shutdown, but now this is going to require compromise,” said Salveson as Rep. Ernie Leidiger rolled past on a Carver County Republican float, waving enthusiastically to the crowd. “Get back to work,” Salveson said dismissively. Elsewhere on the parade route, Sharon Critzer, an Eden Prairie resident, said she has a friend who lost work as a result of the shutdown. “It’s too bad they can’t figure this out for the average person,” she observed. “They should just set party lines aside.” Another Eden Prairie resident,

Mary Kubicek, said she was more supportive of the Republicans. “It’s unfortunate they can’t learn to live within their means,” she said. Chanhassen City Councilor Bethany Tjornhom said she brushed up against an undercurrent of anger about the state Legislature as she passed out her own city literature. “People are ang r y,” she said. “They told me, ‘If you’re from the state government, you need to leave.’

What: A public event commissioning The Mustard Seed Landscaping and Garden Center’s new turbine.

The wind used to be a curse to staff at The Mustard Seed Landscaping and Garden Center just west of Chaska on Highway 212. Gusts regularly knocked over the containers of f lowers, shrubs and trees, keeping employees busy setting everything upright again. But now, owner Mark Halla hopes to turn that meddlesome wind into a blessing by installing a wind turbine to power his business operations. “This is a cool thing,” he said. “It will power our whole facility.” Halla’s been researching wind turbines for the last eight years. “It was clear we needed to do something [about the wind],” he explained. “So we thought what can we do to make it better?” His answer was to try to harness the wind and turn it into energy for the garden center. The fi nal parts for the 160-foot high turbine were delivered earlier this week. The windmill

The Carver City Council is in no hurry to remove the fi nal two raised sections of the city’s f lood-control levee. Councilors decided Tuesday to wait and see whether U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar and U.S. Rep. John Kline can persuade a federal agency to let Carver keep part of its newly raised earthen levee and still get federal fi nancial help for the levee project. “Hopefully, some pressure will work,” Mayor Greg Osterdyk said. “Our deadline [for removing the raised levee] is Nov. 10. We have some time to keep seeing what we can do to put some pressure on. We don’t have to make a decision tonight.” Councilors would like to keep the Spring Creek and Union Pacific Railroad raised sections permanently, but the Federal Emergency Management

should be fully installed by the end of the week with a commissioning event set for 4:30-6:30 p.m. on July 14. Halla says his turbine should be more productive than the city of Chaska’s infamous one just to the east. “Ours will spin more often,” he said cheekily. “And it will spin in winter.” The turbine’s 160-foot steel tower is already in place behind the garden center. It sits on a 24-foot-by-24-foot pad on top of two feet of concrete and 2,000 pounds of rebar buried seven feet deep. Its three piers are each three feet in diameter. The 25-foot blades will be among the items delivered and installed this week. W hen completed, the

Allen Mullins, dressed as Captain America, walks south on Highway 41 last Thursday on his journey to visit 48 state capitals.

Captain America on walkabout Man visiting 48 capitals on foot BY MARK W. OLSON editor@chaskaherald.com

RAIN OR SHINE, NOON - 10:30p.m.

Allen Mull i n s w a l ke d t h r o u g h Chaska last Thursday, on h i s j ou r n e y to visit 4 8 state capitals – dressed as comic book Allen hero Captain Mullins America. “I wea r it 24-7. Snow, rain, all year long,” said Mu l lens on a hot and muggy afternoon, as he rolled a cigarette and took a break from his long journey. His plastic shield, duffel bag, and U.S. flag (which he also uses as a walking staff) rested nearby. Mullens, in his late 20s, has already worn out nine pairs of shoes walking to 34 state capitals. He had just come from St. Paul, after walking up from Des Moines. He’s now en route to Bismarck, via Highway 212. Mullens previously walked 5,000 miles around the country dressed as Superman to raise awareness for homeless veterans. He grew up in a Dalton, Ga., orphanage. When asked why

I told them I wasn’t from the state, and they were a little friendlier.” Observations during the parade revealed that if there was much anger, it was subdued.

he wants to help veterans, Mullens explained that before his walking journeys, he was introduced to veterans issues while building houses for a Vietnam veteran boss who hired homeless veterans. He continues walking to raise attention for veterans, handing out blue leaflets asking people to “open your hearts to the brave people, reach out your hand and show them that you love them.” Veteran organizations have helped him along the way. A St. Paul VFW member gave Mullins a ride to Chaska after he was told there was no way to walk between the two cities. He recently picked up a replacement Captain America costume at Halloween Express in St. Paul, purchased by a VFW in Palestine, Texas. He c a r r ies a du f fel ba g weighing up to 70 pounds over his back, including a sleeping bag. As he walks, Mullens listens to an iPod he found on side of the road containing 3,000 songs. Although, he noted, he only can listen to about 30 percent of the music – bypassing the Brittney Spears and Hannah Montana songs for the Conway Twitty and Travis Tritt.

Captain A merica wasn’t among the comics Mullens read as a child. He instead leaned toward X-men and Spiderman. He doesn’t even plan to see the

Captain American movie coming out later this summer. He said he’s not a fan of the new Captain America costume. He began wearing the costume on Toledo, Ohio last October to make himself more approachable while spreading the word about veterans, Mullins said. It does the job. While walking south on Highway 41, a number of drivers and passengers honked at him, or yelled “Captain America!” out their window. After this journey, he wants to walk the outline of every state in the United States. Mullins figures he’ll finish walking in 2002, when he’s 38. He said the bad side of his journey is giving up on having a family. However, he said, at the end of his walking, he’ll have “one hell of a story to tell and one hell of a job reference.”

cheered as his float passed. Leidiger reported on Tuesday morning that he heard “cheers almost the whole way” and only four dismissive remarks. “I heard some ‘Way to go, guys.’ Or they gave me thumbs up and waved. There was a warm feeling from the crowd,” he said. “I was listening for comments that were critical, but a lot more common were conservatives who stood up and cheered.” Leidiger was the only local legislator to show up at the parade. He said Rep. Joe Hoppe, a Chaska Republican, was on

vacation. Hoppe did not return a phone call seeking comment. Sen. Julianne Ortman, a Chanhassen Republican, did not return phone calls either. Typically Hoppe and Ortman participate in the Chanhassen parade. Leidiger said the feedback he has gotten since the legislative session ended has been mostly supportive of the GOP stance against the governor. “ T h ey w a nt u s t o hold strong,” he said. “My constituents absolutely do not want me to back down.”

He expects that the turbine will pay for itself within four years. “The real joy is we’re doing the right thing with renewable energy,” he said. “We’re setting the bar, leading the way.” This isn’t the Mustard Seed’s fi rst green initiative. They previously installed a geothermal heating and cooling system. For their efforts, the com-

pany has been honored with a host of awards including the Minnesota Landscape Association’s 2011 Friend of the Environment Award and the Mi n nesot a Envi ron ment a l Initiative’s Partnership of the Year Award. Halla hopes that their actions will encourage other businesses to do the same. “If you’re going to do things, do them right,” he said.

Carver County is monitoring and evaluating the impacts that the State of Minnesota shutdown is having on County services to residents. “The majority of the initial impacts are minimal but as the duration of the shutdown lingers, we are at increased risk of project delays and service disruptions,” stated Carver County Administrator David Hemze, in a news release. “Over the past several weeks we have been assessing our risk and developing a plan for the shutdown.” Carver County’s Service Centers in Chaska and Chanhassen remain open for business.

T he Dist rict 112 School Board unanimously approved a budget for the 2011-12 fiscal year at last Thursday night’s meeting. The budget includes expected revenues of $121.6 million and expenditures of $122.7 million. The board is required by Minnesota statute to approve and adopt a budget by July 1 each year. The budget includes the $ 2.398 million in cuts ap proved by the board in April. Key reductions were an average class size increase of approximately one-third student per class across all grades and removing $250,000 from the general fund balance. Additionally, layoffs and reduction in days worked in various areas will result in the loss of approximately 30 full-time positions. District director of fi nance and operations DeeDee Kahring said, for the most part, all the budget reductions took place as planned. “One cut that could not happen was a delivery driver

School board approves $121 million budget position, because union contracts precluded that from happening,” she said. “Otherwise, the appropriate layoffs have been put in place.” Athletics and activities fees for next school year have also been raised as part of the budget reductions. While individual and family caps have remained the same at $ 500 and $ 900 respectively, most fees will go up by $25. The fee to play hockey increased $100 to $330 and football increased by $30 to $250. One unknown factor on the district budget is the impact the state government shutdown will have. “We have not incorporated a shutdown into this budget,” said Kahring. “Until we see what the governor and legislators come up with, we would not have details with which to plan.”

St.

of Transportation (MnDOT) recently put the finishing touches on a new traffic signal at Fourth and Chestnut streets. MnDOT also replaced curbs at the corner to meet Americans with Disabilities Standards. Crews were still at work on the corners before the state shutdown halted the project last week. “They’ve still got quite a bit of work left to do there,” said City Administrator Matt Podhradsky. Construction on MnDOT’s maintenance facility on County Road 61 on the Chaska/Carver border has also ceased for the time being. Access work also continues in the vicinity of the West Creek Corporate Center north of Engler Boulevard where United HealthGroup is constructing a data center.

Chaska has only a couple road construction projects on tap for the summer of 2011.

Local drivers bracing for a sea of orange this summer will be pleasantly surprised to fi nd only a couple road construction projects on the board. “It is less than recent years,” said City Engineer Bill Monk of this year’s road construction schedule. This summer, Chaska is beginning a multi-year effort to reconstruct downtown city streets beginning with a trio of streets on the western fringes of downtown. Spruce, Locust and West Third streets will all undergo reconstruction starting this week. The nearly $1.3 million project includes new utilities and some reconfiguration of the streets to allow for access from Spruce and Locust to West Third. Work is expected to continue into the fall. Last year’s street reconstruction project in the North Meadows neighborhood is currently in the process of getting the last of its punch list items completed. The Minnesota Department

This includes Baylor Regional Park and Campground, Lake Minnewashta Regional Park, Lake Waconia Regional Park and the Dakota Rail Regional Trail. “On day one of the shutdown there is little impact to Carver County road construc-

tion projects,” said Carver County Public Works Director Lyndon Robjent. “The longer the shutdown lasts the more significant the impact will be on County public works projects. MnDOT and other state agencies will be unavailable to review and approve design plans and environmental documents, process payments for construction projects that have state or federal funds or issue construction permits. MnDOT will also be unavailable to perform material testing or plant certification. These impacts will result in project delays and potentially more costs as the shutdown continues.” Hemze commented that during their July 12 meeting, the County Board will be presented a number of strategic recommendations related to the shutdown including the following: 1. To the maximum extent possible, avoid exposing Carver County taxpayers to additional costs and fi nancial risk due to State budget action (or inaction).

2. Comply with the law as defined by the State and its courts. At the June 21 Board Meeting, Carver County staff presented the County Commissioners with a 19 page list summarizing possible impacts of a state shutdown along with contingency plans.

EDITORIAL

Leading way in renewable energy A tip of the hat, or perhaps a spin of the wheel, is in order for The Mustard Seed Landscaping and Garden Center. The business, located west of Chaska of f of Highway 212, has recently installed a new landmark – a 160-foot-high wind turbine. The windmill will be commissioned at a July 14 open house. Owner Mark Halla expects to generate 120,000 kilowatt hours per year with the turbine. The business only uses around 100,000 kilowatt hours per year, so he can sell the rest back to the grid. Grants will cover 55 percent of the $200,000 bill. He expects the turbine to pay for itself within four years.

“The real joy is we’re doing the right thing with renewable energy,” said Halla. Renewable energy is the future. We hope Halla’s turbine repairs the local perception of wind energy caused by the flaw-ridden Minnesota Municipal Power Agency turbine installed in 2009 near Pioneer Ridge Middle School. “We’re setting the bar, leading the way,” said Halla, whose business also employs a geothermal heating and cooling system. The Mustard Seed’s example does lead the way for other businesses to consider going “green” in the design and efficiency of their buildings and operations.

GUEST COMMENTARY

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

1.6 million cases seeking justice

LEGISLATURE

BY EDWARD LYNCH

Editor’s note: Six judges serving in the First Judicial District, which includes Carver County, have volunteered to write columns about the work of the court; Edward services provided by Lynch the court; its impact on lives of people; and challenges involved in the judicial system. The first column is by the First Judicial District’s Chief Judge Edward Lynch. For many people court, is where traffic tickets are paid, criminals are prosecuted, divorces are processed and Judge Judy presides. In other words, a place to be avoided. It is not surprising that few people think about the constitutional responsibilities courts have, the critical services they provide to the people of Minnesota, or the important role they have in preserving public safety, economic stability, individual freedom and personal security. Courts are involved in more than just traffic tickets and criminal prosecution. While holding criminals accountable for their conduct and collecting fines and fees are important aspects of what courts do (last year courts processed over 193,000 criminal matters and collected almost $200 million that was paid out to cities, counties and the state), these are far from the only services provided. The courts in Minnesota hear cases that involve people who need help at critical times in their lives involving some of the most important matters in their lives. If you are not directly involved with the courts, it is almost certain that you have a friend, relative or neighbor who is. Three examples demonstrate the variety and urgency of the cases heard in courtrooms throughout Minnesota. An elderly man who lost a leg in an accident was unable to obtain recommended medical treatment without court intervention because the two companies that insured him could not agree which was responsible for payment of the expenses. A woman came to court for an order for protection after finding her husband’s journal that described his detailed plans and preparations to kill her and their children. A pre-teen girl involved in a child protection proceeding because of the physical and emotional abuse inflicted by her mother wrote a letter to the judge describing the beatings, explaining that the whipping with the extension cord “hurt the most” and ended her letter by pleading: “HELP ME PLEASE.” The court’s job is to make sure that these important matters are handled in a timely and responsible manner. The Minnesota Constitution states that every person is entitled ‘to obtain justice freely and without purchase, completely and without denial, promptly and without delay.” The courts in Minnesota, as the

third branch of state government, are charged with ensuring that this constitutional right of the people to timely access and impartial justice is honored. Each year over 1.6 million cases are filed with the courts seeking justice. By discharging the Judicial Branch’s constitutional obligation, the courts protect the freedom, security, family and property of individuals, while supporting and promoting society’s interest in public safety, economic stability and social order.

TECHNOLOGY In recent years the Judicial Branch has embraced technology to create efficiencies for the courts and for other justice system agencies so these important matters can be processed and heard in a reasonable time. The electronic filing of documents and the availability of court documents, calendars and other court related information over the Internet have improved access and reduced costs associated with court proceedings. The expanded use of interactive video for court hearings, the development of remote interpreter services, and the creation of web-based staff training have reduced expenses so the courts can continue to provide meaningful and timely court proceedings. The Judicial Branch Strategic Plan, first adopted over a decade ago, recognizes the need for the courts to do a better job at less cost, to be more efficient and more effective. The courts have worked with other justice system agencies to improve the effectiveness of the services they provide. Problem solving courts have been created to address the mental health, alcohol and substance abuse issues that frequently drive criminal behavior and contribute to family dysfunction. Courts throughout Minnesota have implemented new approaches to the often difficult process of getting a divorce. Early court intervention in these matters has reduced the time, conflict and cost frequently associated with these proceedings. To assist the increasing number of people who cannot afford to hire an attorney or choose to represent themselves in court proceedings, forms and informational brochures have been revised, assistance centers have been created in several courthouses, and a Self Help website has been developed. These efforts go beyond the efficient disposition of cases and strive for better outcomes and a more satisfactory process. Despite the challenges presented by an increasing demand for court services and multiple funding reductions, the people of Minnesota continue to receive high quality services from their courts. While most people may still want to avoid criminal prosecution, traffic tickets and divorce proceedings, there should be comfort in knowing that Minnesota’s courts are available and responsive if their freedom, family or property are ever threatened.

Wealthy should be paying more I had to respond to Mr. Siegel’s letter wondering if journalists were idiots because all of a sudden he became aware of the state’s budget problems (“Are journalists idiots or part of the problem,” June 30). Unfortunately he appears to not have heard the whole story. He pointed out that there was a 28.7 percent jump in spending in the governor’s proposed budget. He then pointed out that in the last biennium the state did some shifting of funds “So what … it wasn’t $ 6 billion worth.” He is right, the amount of the deficit at the start of this budget cycle was only $5.5 billion. We can balance budgets with smoke and mirrors. We can cut assistance for the poor, but unless we are willing to allow people to die in the street the cost will return under a different category. The truth is that in the 1990s, Minnesotans were paying on average 17.5 percent in state local taxes (property). At that time the state’s economy was strong, and the state was running a surplus. In 2000 and over the next few years there were a series of state tax cuts and increases in school aid to reduce property taxes. Cuts made sense at the time, but unfortunately they were excessive. Following these changes, Minnesotans were now paying on average 15.5 percent in state and local taxes. Since those cuts the state budget has consistently been running deficits, leading to state budget cuts affecting K-12 education, state colleges, the state university, the poor, seniors and the middle class. One example is that the tuition at the U of M has doubled since 2002. Minnesota’s success has been due to its quality K-12 schools, the U of M and education in general, and these are the areas being hurt by the budget cuts. Minnesota’s success has been the result of the fair treatment of all its citizens – are we going to let this care for those in need die with our budget cuts. We need to look hard at our spending and keep it under control. We need to look at our tax system and make sure that we encourage business, but the wealthy should pay more. They can afford it and they benefit the most. “Trickle-down economics” is a farce. “Tax killing jobs” is not backed by the data. Most of all what we need today is politicians that are more worried about citizens than votes. We need politicians that are willing to work together to arrive at solutions that move us forward. Compromise is not a di r t y word.

Runners work their way downtown on June 25 during the SayHey5K.

THANKS

Events like this are important Wow. The first annual SayHey5K is done, and what a fun time it was! I was very impressed, both with the smoothness of the event itself, and with the number of participants of a fi rst-annual event like this (over 400, I have been told). Events like this are important for building a sense of “community”

Willing to pay for Minnesota nice Our state legislature has spent the last six months writing and debating and passing bills that they kniew the governor would never sign. They pushed their agenda of voter suppression. They advocated for ending Planned Parenthood, even though that is the only access poor women have to birth control. They held ongoing hearings on the “Shoot First” bill, universally seen by law enforcement as dangerous and unwanted policy. Our state legislature has not thought about the problems that face Minnesota. They don’t care about the achievement gap in our schools, or about childhood poverty, or creating jobs. Jobs are driven by demand, not by corporate profits. If people don’t have money to spend buying products or services, there is no need to hire employees to provide those goods or services. Our state legislature has forgotten who we are as a people. Minnesotans are kind, compassionate, hardworking, and neighborly. We want to help each other; we want everyone to succeed, not just the corporations. Speak up! Tell our state legislators that we are willing to pay for Minnesota nice!

Work together or clean house Minnesotans awakened Friday morning to learn the state of Min-

within our town. They are all about bringing people to our beautiful downtown, and creating interest in and awareness of our historic river town … the city of Chaska. I personally hope that there will be 1,000 runners next year, pursuing a course through downtown and along the river. A big thank you goes out to everyone who helped plan this fun June 27 event, and to those 400-plus people who ran and/or walked during the event.

nesota had shut down. Few, if any, should have been surprised. Those elected have not accomplished much of anything this session, unless the secret meetings behind closed doors discussing ways to build a new Vikings stadium for a very wealthy man count, and surely we wouldn’t expect them to do something in the waning hours. What we should be surprised about is that they expect to be paid during the shutdown when their actions, of lack there of, have caused others to loose their paycheck. They were elected to represent the people who knew the Republicans stood for no new spending/cuts and the Democrats wanted to tax the wealthy. Why can’t we have both – taxes, but no new spending? It’s time those at the Capitol learn to work together or we Minnesotans need to clean house the next time around.

FEDERAL SPENDING

Does the Herald know what’s going on in D.C.? As the Chaska Herald celebrates more and more federal funding (“Federal funding fuels local trails,” June 21), it may be time to ask: does anyone at the Herald know what’s going on in Washington, D.C.? It would be prudent, to say the least, if the city of Chaska and Carver

Thumbs, yellow flowers and other cultural landmines

ONE STEP AT A TIME There is some basic knowledge about diversity that may be beneficial as you seek to increase your diversity education. Diversity includes developing awareness, understanding, acceptance, tolerance, and fostering communication. You can immerse yourself in learning about one culture at a time, or learn a little about each. Which culture should you choose first? That is a good question. You might start with your own ancestry or select from the prominent cultural backgrounds present in your own area/state. For example, in Minnesota, the Somali population is the largest in the United States. That could be your first choice. Secondly, I would choose the Hmong population. Minnesota has the second largest Hmong population in the country after California. Then, plan to learn about other cultures as you wish. Your list might become a long one when you consider Hispanics, Vietnamese, Chinese, Liberians, Kenyans, Ethiopians, Indians (from subcontinent India), Russians, and many other smaller groups in your state!

AMAZING RESOURCES Today, with all of the Internet accessibility and advancement in computer technology one can spend a few minutes and learn about anything they are curious about. In the 1980s, while working on my master’s degree, I used to spend more than 10 hours every day researching and exploring my subject matter in the library. Today we are fortunate enough to lie down on a bed and comfortably surf websites!

EYE ON DIVERSITY

Now while you are watching a movie and want to know something about your favorite actor, or the location of the movie, etc., you can quickly go on your tablet or laptop and you’ll have it. That is incredible. The resources available about diversity, global cultures, languages, etc., are enormous and extremely helpful.

SMALL STUFF, BIG BENEFITS Because of the global nature of our world today, it is useful to know something about the customs and manners of different cultures we come in contact with here and abroad. Say you are in a business meeting in Turkey. You are offered a small cup of Turkish coffee. After your cup has been refilled several times, you decide you would rather not have anymore. How do you decline the next cup offered to you? The answer may be different according to the region. But when you are in Turkey you need to turn your empty cup upside down on the saucer. Different cultures have vastly different perspectives on the “concept of time.” Some cultures are on clock time (like North Americans with the exception of Quebecers and Mexicans), others are on process time (like Latin Americans, Asians, Middle Easterners, and North Africans, to name a few). When you learn more and more about the norms and traditions of each culture, you will become more comfortable with communicating with people from other cultures. So, now tell me in which of the following countries are you expected to be punctual for business meetings: Peru, Holland, Hong Kong, China, or Morocco? The correct answers are Holland and Hong Kong. You might argue that Hong Kong is a part of China. How come China was not selected as a correct answer?

“The Middle of Everywhere: The World’s Refugees Come to Our Town,” by Mary Pipher

My response is: Hong Kong was under British ruling for 100 years. Their system of business is more British than Chinese. Gift giving is prevalent in Japanese society. A business acquaintance presents you with a small wrapped package; you wonder what is the appropriate action: open the present immediately and thank the giver; thank the giver and open the present later; or suggest that the giver opens the present for you? Your best bet while in Japan is the second choice! When you go on a business trip, make sure you learn about the system of business and habits of the country you are in, especially when working on their schedule. If you go to Saudi Arabia for example, be aware that their working days are from Saturday through Wednesday. They are off on Thursday and Friday. There’s a recent rumor going around that they might change it to Friday and Saturday for some international business purposes. Friday in most Islamic countries is the day of prayers. In many countries, visitors are often entertained in the homes of the clients. Taking flowers as a gift to the hostess is usually a safe way to express thanks for the hospitality. However, both the type and the color of the flower can have amorous, negative, or even ominous implications. In order to avoid a social faux pas you should find out who likes what. So, here are a few general preferences: many French do not appreciate red roses; many Swiss do not like purple flowers; and some Brazilians don’t care for chrysanthemums. In some countries white flowers are reserved for funerals and mourning, some

cultures believe red flowers represent blood and death, and while yellow flowers in the U.S.A. are considered cheerful tokens of friendship, some foreign recipients might consider a yellow bouquet of flowers sent to an invalid as a warning sign that you do not wish them to recover. So choose your flowers wisely!

HAND GESTURES! Last but not least, is the use of gestures. Body language is just as important as the spoken word in many countries. For example, in many countries the thumbs up sign means ‘OK’ (such as Germany, Australia, or Canada), but it is considered a rude gesture in Italy. In the US, the index (or “first”) finger is generally considered as “one,” while in some cultures they consider the thumb as “one,” the index figure as “two,” etc. So in France, for instance, if you want to order only one croissant and you don’t know the word for one, you should only use your thumb, if you use your index finger you will receive two croissants! In the past 20 years or so, the process of globalization has encouraged us to learn more about others. Encouragement is not enough. We need to take it upon ourselves to learn about other cultural norms and the ocean of diversity. Be culturally competent, make a successful life in social and business realms, and pass on this phenomenal asset to other generations.

County were to plan for zero funding from the federal government. Specifically, does anyone in either of those governments know what will happen when the dollar collapses, or when the dollar is no longer the world reserve currency? While Washington has a printing press to deflate our currency, raising prices as an “invisible tax,” the State of Minnesota does not, thank God. While more and more federal “candy” like subsidies for new trails, and Metropolitan Council initiatives where they have no business operating may sound desirable, we need to be smarter than this. We need to prepare for a different economic environment, because we are rocketing towards one in which Federal bailout candy is no longer available. It is time for government at all levels, including the city of Chaska and Carver County, to start looking at a bottom-up budget, or zero-based budget review.

What do we really need from government? Let’s focus on those things, and see about reducing business taxes (which are among the highest in the United States), so businesses can prosper here instead of fleeing to neighboring states.

CYBER-BULLYING

Kids don’t realize consequences This is a warning to parents and children, related to cyber-bullying, “sexting” and online child pornography. Children are being lured to perform sexual acts with or without their friends in front of their webcam by adults who find them in online chat rooms. First they “seduce,” become their friends and gain their trust. After they have lured them to do these things for them online, they threaten the kids that they will tell their parents, schools or hurt

their families if they don’t continue to do what they ask. This is now referred to as “sextortion.” Teens are not only the victims of the abusers, they may also be charged themselves with online pornography crimes, such as Aurora Eller, now 16, but 13 at the time of the act (seen recently on TV to warn parents and teens), who is now facing charges, and may be labeled as a sex offender for the rest of her life, meaning she would have to report to local police (and neighbors, depending on the laws in that area) when she moves to a new area, it will be on her record permanently and may inhibit her ability to get accepted into college programs or in getting a job, etc. Kids don’t realize the consequences of their actions, but while they may think sexting is harmless, it may in fact ruin their futures!

Diversity is an asset. We need to focus and value our similarities but not forget that at the same time to enjoy the benefits of our cultural differences. When you dive deep into a culture, you learn fascinating realities and make yourself more globally educated, just like when you go scuba diving and explore many unknown objects below the surface. The ocean of diversity is a God-given gift we need to cherish and praise. Develop your cultural competencies, value diversity, and encourage others to do the same. However, it is appropriate to learn about your own culture first.

CARVER LEVEE continued from page 1

portions of the levee would be dramatically lower. If the two final sections are removed, Carver would be eligible to ask FEMA for 75 percent of the raised levee installation and removal costs, which would be $162,915 of the estimated total expense of $217,220. The city also would ask the state of Minnesota to pay for part or all of the remaining 25 percent, which is an estimated $54,305. But removing the last two sections of the raised levee now also means Carver residents and federal taxpayers will face future expenses if those two sections later must be raised again in response to a future flooding threat.

the city’s levee to prevent or at least limit flooding damage to city residents, businesses and public facilities. Councilors agreed to pay for raising the levee from the city’s budget and apply later for as much as 75 percent reimbursement from FEMA and as much as 25 percent reimbursement from the Minnesota state government. Private contractors were hired, excavated an estimated 10,000 cubic yards of earthen clay from the site of a future entrance road to a proposed Mills Fleet Farm store, and hauled that fi ll by trucks to the levee. The emergency project fi nished in late March, elevating four sections of the levee by 2.5 feet.

The story began last winter when the National Weather Service issued grim predictions of Minnesota River spring flooding, potentially exceeding the record 1965 flood that immersed downtown Carver. Above-average rainfall in the fall of 2010 followed by plentiful winter snow combined to create saturated soils leading into spring thaws and expected heavy runoff. Carver councilors responded March 7 by deciding to raise more than 5,000 feet of

ing its eligibility for reimbursement funding from FEMA. “The city does not have the financial resources, without FEMA reimbursement, to finance/pay for the costs associated with the construction/ removal of the temporary levee, which are anticipated to be upwards of $200,000,” Mareck, Schultz and Boyum wrote. “The complete removal of the temporary levee appears to be the best option, when also considering that FEMA will pay for similar flood prevention measures in the future,” they wrote.

Carver councilors last month expressed fr ustration that rules set by the U.S. Congress and administered by FEMA would penalize the city fi nancially for keeping part of the elevated levee intact and saving money in the long run. “ T he pro c e ss m a ke s no sense,” Osterdyk said last week. “We’re looking at potentially saving FEMA some of those dollars by keeping protections of the levee up so that they won’t have to remove them and pay the additional expense. And they wouldn’t have to pay to rebuild it whenever the next flood event is.” Councilors wanted Mareck and his staff to look for a solution that would let the city keep intact the two sections of the elevated levee without losing FEMA fi nancial aid. Mareck, Schultz and City Engineer Dan Boyum advised the council in writing Tuesday that those efforts so far have failed. Mareck contacted Klobuchar’s office Tuesday and spoke with Kline’s staff earlier. U.S. Sen. Al Franken’s office has not been contacted. “The city has been working with Congressman John Kline’s Office to determine if there are other alternatives available to Carver that would enable the temporary levee to remain in place,” they wrote. “Unfortunately, there appears to be no solution that will allow the city to keep the temporary levee in place while maintain-

Agency (FEMA) concluded that would rule out a federal subsidy for the levee project. Delaying action Tuesday also gives the railroad company more time to remove tracks from its abandoned and sold rail line, which in turn would reduce costs of lowering the levee. “A little bit of time right now may be a good thing,” Carver Public Works Director Paul Schultz told councilors. “It would be more expensive to remove [the raised levee section] today with the rails in place than if the rails were already removed.” Osterdyk said after the meeting that he believes councilors can delay action until early September and still meet FEMA’s Nov. 10 removal deadline. Carver spent an estimated $162,151 in March to raise its levee by 2.5 feet amid National Weather Service warnings of potential record flooding along the Minnesota River. The levee is the city’s main method of flood control. After the flood threat ended with only modest flooding, the city spent an estimated $17,900 to lower some sections of levee to their original height. The sections restored to their original height are primarily south of Main Street. Councilors and their staff want to avoid spending an additional estimated $ 37,169 to remove the Spring Creek and railroad raised sections, but they say they cannot afford to lose FEMA financing in the process. City Administrator Brent Mareck told councilors Tuesday that FEMA officials were unwilling during the last week to budge on their insistence that the entire raised section be removed or the city cannot get FEMA fi nancial help. “It’s an all-or-nothing deal,” Councilor Glen Henry summarized. As reported last week, city officials previously believed that Carver would be reimbursed for the removed sections of levee and that the city’s projected expense to keep

When the threat ended, contractors returned to remove the 2.5 feet of fresh fi ll from most of both levee sections south of Main Street, where recreational trails exist. Fill also was removed from the Main Street and Third Street bridges.

Loans for those facing foreclosure

CELEBRATING WITH A BANG

Homeowners facing foreclosure due to involuntary unemployment, underemployment or medical issues are eligible to benefit from a new federal program: the Emergency Home ow ners’ L oa n P rog ra m (EHLP). The program is accepting applications July 5 – July 22, according to a press release from the Carver County Community Development Agency. Under this program, more than 1,400 selected Minnesota homeowners will receive up to $50,000 in interest-free loans

over the next two years to help pay mortgage costs. The loans are also 100 percent forgivable for homeowners who stay in their home for five years following the program’s completion. Homeowners eligible to apply for the federal program must meet several criteria, including: Have faced an income decline of at least 15 percent due to involuntary unemployment, underemployment or medical issues Have been unable to make their mortgage payment for at least the past three months Reside in the mortgaged property

Unemployed or underemployed homeowners should visit the program’s Minnesota website at www.EHLPMinnesota.com to verify eligibility and download a pre-application. The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. on Friday, July 22. Homeowners are also being warned to steer clear of scams. There is no charge to apply for EHLP and checking eligibility and fi lling out the pre-application is simple. An offer to help fi ll out EHLP forms for a fee or anyone who guarantees that a pre-application will result in acceptance in the program in exchange for money is a scam, the release stated.

Awesome bathroom upgrades for less than $200

beautiful bathroom can be uplifting on many levels: it improves your home’s resale value and provides you with a welcoming environment in one of the mostused rooms of your house. If your bathroom has become the room in the house you least want to visit, it may be time to consider some cost-effective upgrades. A mid-range bathroom remodel can cost, on average, around $16,000 (and return 64 percent of that cost at the time of resale), according to Remodeling Magazine’s 2011 Cost vs. Value Report. You don’t have to spend thousands, however, to give your bathroom a fresh look. Here are some high-impact, awesome upgrades that you can accomplish for less than $200 each:

Work those walls Paint is still the cheapest, easiest way to freshen a room’s look and that’s true even in the bathroom. While painting a bath can be a bit more complicated than other rooms because of obstructions like mirrors, showers and tubs, it’s still a project well within the abilities of most do-it-yourself types. Good paint can be had for as little as $25, and most bathrooms will only need a gallon or two.

Once you’ve repainted, consider adding a wallpaper mural. You’ve probably always thought adding wallpaper in a bath was risky, given the room’s usual humidity. But modern wallpaper options, like SmartStick by MuralsYourWay. com, can easily hold up to bathroom conditions. A patented adhesive allows you to easily place the material on nearly any surface—walls, windows, that architectural niche above your bathtub— pull it down, reposition it, and even move the moisture resistant mural to a different wall. You can even customize with your own wall photo by using your own original photography. Submit your photo through the website and the company creates a custom mural using your artwork.

Lighten up Lighting is another low-cost way to renovate a bathroom. If your bathroom sports a utilitarian overhead ﬁ xture, or a dressing-room-style light bar above the mirror, you can create a whole new look for the room by replacing those lights with one—or more—contemporary styles. Because our bathrooms serve several functions, bathroom lighting should be ﬂexible too. Design pros often place more than one light source in bathrooms, even if the room is relatively small.

Adding a couple of wall sconces in addition to a main light source costs little but allows you to lower lighting in the bathroom when you’re in the mood for relaxation. And a strong, overhead light source provides practical illumination for putting on make-up or shaving for example. It’s easy to ﬁnd cost-effective lighting options at your local home improvement store.

Little things mean a lot You can also make several small changes in a bath that will have a big impact, from swapping out cabinet hardware to replacing an existing straight shower rod with a curved one. Depending on which projects you choose, you could accomplish several for less than $200 total.

Installing a new showerhead or hand-held showerhead.

Other small but mighty steps include:

Choosing coordinating bath accessories such as a cup and toothbrush holder.

Replacing dated faucets.

Swapping the old toilet seat for a new one. Replacing accessory hardware like towel bars and robe hooks with newer, matching ones.

Adding new towels and bath mats. When it comes to upgrading the bathroom, virtually any improvement has value, both in terms of enjoyment and resale. Fortunately, value doesn’t have to come at a high cost when you make simple, cost-effective improvements. Source: ARA Content

Half century of ‘Service Above Self’

NEWS BRIEFS

Lions donate $10,000 to CAP Agency

The Chaska Rotary Club celebrated its 50-year anniversary on June 29 at Hazeltine National Golf Club. Members from Rotary Clubs in Shakopee, Chanhassen and Waconia were in attendance. The Shakopee Club was the sponsoring club for Chaska 50 years ago. Chaska helped start the Waconia and Chanhassen clubs. The highlight of the event was a plaque presentation to Dr. Tom Sutcliffe, who was an original member of the Chaska club and who has maintained perfect attendance at Rotary meetings the past half century. The object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service; High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an oppor-

Through charitable gambling in the Chaska and Victoria areas, the Chaska Lions Club donated $10,000 to the CAP Agency-Bountiful Baskets. Bountiful Basket is the designated food shelf in Eastern Carver County. It is now located in the old Snyders Drug Store building, at the southwest corner of Highway 41 and County Road 61. Clients can come in once a month and get a four- to fiveday supply of food items. Each month the food shelf serves 3 5 0 - 4 0 0 households, which a mou nts to approxi mately 25,000 pounds of food.

victoria TOWN SQUARE Bosom buddies Bonding in the fight against an all too common enemy BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

“Cancer affects everybody,” said Kathryn Paradise. Paradise is a co-owner of Salon Spatoria in Victoria, which is hosting a fundraiser this Sunday at the salon. “It hits close to home. We’re doing a fundraiser because two of our stylists’ moms were diagnosed with breast cancer.” Being diagnosed with breast cancer is not only frightening but overwhelming. With all the choices women have today about treatment, surgery, reconstructive surger y, prophylactic mastectomies, and more, it can be bewildering. So it’s good to have someone like Barbara Kayati on the other end of the telephone or across the table at the coffee shop. That’s what Rayetta Rydquist found. Though both live in Chanhassen, they didn’t know each other until cancer, and their daughters, both stylists at the Victoria salon, brought them together. Kayati, 52, was diagnosed in January 2008. Rydquist was diagnosed last October. Kayati, a longtime Chanhassen resident, started annual mammogram screenings once she turned 40. Results were always negative. That included her mammogram in 2007. She was good to go for another year. Or so she thought. “My lump was not discovered on the mammogram I had,” Kayati said. “[The tumor] was never picked up. But I had symptoms—a discharge from my nipple. I called my doctor who thought it might be a blocked milk duct. Thankfully, she didn’t brush me off. She took it seriously even though she didn’t think it was a cancer.” Additional tests revealed a 2.2 centimeter lump, and the cancer was Stage 2. “My initial reaction was shock, then anger,” Kayati said. “I did everything right.

I learned that 90 percent of tumors are routinely picked up with mammograms. But I’m one of the 10 percent whose cancer is not.” Kayati chose a lumpectomy, radiation and reconstructive surgery. She also gets a breast MRI twice a year, followed by a mammogram. “Because of my situation, I advocate, ‘Pay attention and listen to your body.’ Had I ignored the symptoms, I may not have been so lucky. “I was very fortunate I had a physician who felt it was urgent enough for me to come in,” Kayati said. “I’ve heard so many situations where it’s been brushed off. The doctor says, ‘we’ll check it again in six months, or next year.’ It makes a huge difference to catch it early.” PHOTO BY UNSIE ZUEGE Not only does she share her experience with other women, Barbara Kayati, left, and Rayetta Rydquist, both of Chanhassen, became acquainted when their stylist daughters she turned her anger into ac- shared their stories of recent breast cancer diagnoses. tivism.

T he Fou r t h of Ju ly has come and gone. Midsummer is a distant memory of maypole dances and bonfires, Nordic style. The fiddles have faded in the ears of the Nordic Americans but not in the Nordic countries. Music continues abundantly in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland throughout the summer. If you are there, this is where you might go. Musik Vid Siljan or Music by (Lake) Siljan in Dalarna, Sweden, celebrates music of all types during the fi rst weeks of July.

Employees at the Carver County Government Center didn’t have to go far to find fresh Swiss chard or kohlrabi last week. All they had to do was grab some cash and step outside, hoping that it hadn’t sold out yet. Last Wednesday, the government center’s parking lot played host to the fi rst Chaska Farmers Market. A handful of vendors were on site to sell everything from salsa and honey to jams and sugar snap peas. T he f a r me r s m a rke t i s sponsored through the Carver County Wellness Program and will be open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Wednesday through October. Though the market is open to the public, it is targeted toward county employees. “We want to make the healthy choice, the easy choice,” said Kathy Paulsen, wellness program coordinator. The Carver County Board approved the development of a wellness program in 2008 to address rising health care costs and improve the health and well-being of Carver County employees and their families. “Really, they wanted to do something good for employees,” said Paulsen, adding that

“Healthy employees are more productive.” In the two and a half years since she’s been leading up the wellness program, Paulsen and the rest of her team have worked to promote physical activities for employees and make them more knowledgeable about their health and health in general. Paulsen said they encourage employees to “know their numbers” – everything from height and weight to blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar. Vendi ng machi ne choic es have been veering toward healthier options. And employees have been offered walking maps and fitness classes to keep active. “We have a Pilates class right after work held weekly,” said Paulsen. The hope is that employees

will take advantage of these opportunities to improve their health which should eventually result in lower health care costs. “We want to responsibly use tax dollars,” said Paulsen. And she thinks the wellness program is meeting its mission. “I think we’re starting to see changes,” she said. We’ve got a pretty typical population of employees and I think they are becoming more knowledgeable.” The farmers market is the newest addition to the wellness program and one they expect to see grow larger as summer goes on. Paulsen said this year’s wellness program will also involve the promotion of preventive physical exams for employees. “We’re moving to a culture of wellness and health,” said Paulsen.

Hand gets early exit in fourth start

AMATEUR BASEBALL

Brewers blanked again BY TIM MCGOVERN tmcgovern@swpub.com

Chaska’s amateur baseball team got the upper hand on one of its four Section 3B opponents on Thursday. Cub starter Ryan Seifert threw seven scoreless innings to key an 8-0 shutout of Jordan at Chaska’s Athletic Park. Justin Johnson and Cory Poppitz had three hits apiece in the dozen-knock attack, and Erik Duzan came through with a two-run double in the seventh inning for the fi nal runs. Cory Glieden, Tony Lane and Johnson each scored two runs, with Adam Happ and Greg Lane scoring one apiece. Tony Lane, Greg Lane, Josh Korth, Tyler Polster, Happ and Greg Lane all had hits in the victory. Cub lefty Andy Dauwalter tossed the fi nal two innings to complete the shutout, the third of the Brewers this season. S ei f e r t a n d D au w a l t e r blanked the Brewers in similar fashion 8-0 on June 30. Seifert and Pete Ohnsorg combined for a 3-0 Brewer whitewash in the fi rst game of a Memorial Day doubleheader, and Jordan came back with a 2-1 victory in the nightcap. Chaska broke its July layoff on Wednesday with a home game against the St. Paul Capitals. The Cubs then line up seven games over nine days starting with a Section 3B matchup with Victoria, 7:30 p.m. on Friday night at Poppitz Field. Chaska (13-7 overall) hosts the Rochester Royals at 6 p.m. on Saturday, and visit Prior Lake for a 6 p.m. game on Sunday. A four-game home stand begins with Austin visiting for KleinBank Night on Tuesday.

New Ulm visits Athletic Park on July 13, Belle Plaine comes calling on July 14 and St. Louis Park is scheduled for July 15.

RED BIRDS STOOD UP A baseball team needs at least one thing – hitting, pitching, defense – to go right to win a ballgame. But most of all, a team needs an opponent. The Chanhassen Red Birds amateur baseball team lacked just that as it prepared for one of its signature dates of the summer, July 4. More than 400 fans were ready to enjoy the Red Birds taking on the New Ulm Kaiserhoff squad, but only six players from the visiting team made the 1-hour drive. With too few to take the field, the Red Birds pocketed a 9-0 forfeit victory. Costly as it was to Chanhassen, which had to refund the entire admission, the Red Birds rolled out the fun. The team split for a 5-inning exhibition game pitting the Reds, managed by Bobby Krzmarzick, against the Red Bird Whites, with Chris Reuvers at the helm. The managers did not sit idly by, as Krzmarzick got a hit and Reuvers saw action at the plate and on the mound for the humorous and entertaining affair. Interesting matchups included pitcher John Gulden delivering to his cousin, T.J. and Reuvers trading beanballs with Davis Butler. Butler even charged the mound after a high and tight Reuvers delivery for a laugh-fi lled bear hug. Kaiserhoff assumedly had a full squad on Tuesday, as it downed Gaylord 3-1. The Red Birds squared off against Prior Lake at home on

Gulden in the first inning, Nate Swenson doubled in the seventh inning, scooted to third on a Tony Marengo hit, and scored on a Malmgren groundout. Chanhassen Mayor Tom Furlong threw out the first pitch on a festive evening that honored city employees.

C h a s k a’s Brad Hand has experienced a few things in his first four star ts of his major-league pitch i n g c ar e er for t he Florida Marlins. Brad Now, Hand Hand has underwent a quick hook. Hand started Saturday’s game at Texas and was staked to a 5-0 lead, thanks to a fi rstinning grand slam. Texas could not score in its first two innings against Hand, but soon flexed its muscle. Ian Kinsler and Josh Hamilton slugged homers off Hand in the third inning. Hand issued a one-out walk in the fourth inning to Rangers catcher Yorvit Torrealba, and Marlins manager Jack McKeon made a call to the bullpen. Steve Cishek relieved Hand and threw the next 2.1 innings and nailed down his first career victory. Hand’s shortened line read: four hits, two earned runs, no strikeouts, three walks in over 3.1 innings. Further parsing the performance revealed 72 pitches, including 35 strikes. Hand is now 0-3 over four starts, and is scheduled to throw again tonight (Thursday) against Houston at Sun Life Stadium in Miami. Going against Hand is lefty J.A. Happ, who is 3-10 on the season.

A World Champ at 6 years old BY DANIEL HUSS dhuss@swpub.com

PHOTO BY DANIEL HUSS

Eden Prairie’s Pranay Singh hones his game on his home course, Waters Edge in Shakopee. Last year, while playing the 90-yard, hole No. 7, he recorded a hole-in-one.

E d e n P r a i r i e ’s P r a n ay Singh faces a dilemma. When asked to name his favorite golf memory, he has a hard time deciding. Is it last year’s hole-in-one he carded on the No. 7 hole at Waters Edge in Shakopee, or the up-and-down that iced last week’s Pepsi Little People World Golf Championship Tournament in Quincy, Ill.? When pressed, the soon-tobe first-grader wearing the Snoopy belt picks the up-anddown. “The kid he was playing against hit his tee shot a couple feet from the hole,” said Vivek Kumar, Pranay’s father. “Pranay chunked his. It was the last hole and Pranay was leading by three. If the other kid birdies and Pranay gets a five, it’s a tie.” Singh’s second shot settled just off the green, some 20 yards from the hole. By the time he hit his third shot, the green was ringed with an estimated 100 spectators. Going for par, he hit a flop

shot that bounced once and then rolled in the cup. Game over. Singh f inished with a two-round 61 (30, 31), besting the secondPranay place fi nisher Singh (Texas’ Rohan Kommineni) by four strokes. The field included 30 golfers. His all-time favorite golf memory? “Winning,” he said.

EARLY START Yes, Singh started golfi ng at an early age. “He started walking at 11 months,” said his dad, “and held his fi rst club shortly after that.” At first, he used plastic clubs and a plastic ball. From there, he progressed from a plastic ball to a real ball. The rest, as they say, is history. His favorite club? “Driver,” he said, “because it goes far.” At a hair shy of four feet, the 6-year-old can hit a ball 140 yards. But that’s not his strength;

ON CAMPUS

Franz follows up fine freshman season Chaska High School 2010 graduate Zach Franz is spending his summer much like he spent the spring – pitching at the ballpark, Franz completed his freshman season with the ballclub at the University of St. Thomas, posting a 3-1 record in eight starts. The wins included a pair of shutouts in Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play.

The other victory was a 5-1 triumph over Hamline in an MIAC Tournament elimination game. His only loss was a 3-2 setback to No. 4-rated Wisconsin-Whitewater in the NCAA Regionals, despite giving up just four hits. Franz has returned to the pitching staf f for the Commanding Edge amateur ballclub in St. Paul. He was selected to pitch in the St. Paul All-Star

Game on Friday. Franz started the summer season with a 17-inning score-

less streak, and fi nished with a 1.48 earned-run average, 20 strikeouts and only five walks.

his strength is his short game, minus the putting. “He’d rather hit from just off the green than just on the green,” said his dad. As one might guess, his golfing ability has attracted some attention. “More experienced golfers watch him swing and get pretty depressed,” said mom. The true measure of his ability, however, can be seen on the course. “They see us at the tee box,” said dad, “and right away think they’ll play through.” “But they never catch us,” adds Singh. In July, Singh will take his game to San Diego, where he’ll compete in the Junior World Cha mpionships, a tou r nament that Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson won in their youth. Last year, Singh finished 21st. This year’s goal? “Winning,” he said, while adding that he thinks he’ll have to shoot a one-under- par 53 to do so. W hen asked i f he’s ever fi nished under par, he smiled before he answered. “Not yet,” he said.

Gold turns 3rd place into two state tourneys A few weeks ago, the Chaska 10A Gold team was on the outside looking in. But after the team’s performance in Apple Valley, Gold has secured their spot. The team went 4-1 in the tournament over the weekend and secured berths in both the Minnesota Baseball Tournament (MBT) as well as the Gopher State Tournament of Champions (GSTC). The only loss this past weekend was to a very good Chanhassen American team, which ended up winning the tournament. Chaska started the weekend with a 9-8 win over Farmington and 11-7 over Apple Valley Gold. Early Sunday morning, they continued their winning ways with an 8-5 win over Bloomington.

Chaska was the No. 1 seed coming out of pool play and faced Chanhassen next. A very solid performance by all kids from both teams and the game was locked at 0-0 through three innings. Then, Chanhassen started putting runs on the board and after a strong finish, Chaska simply didn’t have enough left and took a 10-5 defeat. This did not deter the Gold team however; they came right back in the next game and won convincingly 12-2 over a good Apple Valley Brown team. This ended the weekend with a 4-1 record, the team’s best tournament performance to date. More solid pitching with a never-quit attitude at the plate were factors to this terrific third-place fi nish.

Heartbreakers Bar and Grill hosted “Pack the Pub” recently as a benefit for Guardian Angels Catholic Church. Over 100 people attended the event, during which Mayor Mark Windschitl, and three former mayors – Bob Roepke, Tracy Swanson and Gary Van Eyll helped with dishes, bus tables and serve the crowd.

Making a statement with art Chaska artist Sara Hanlon creates art work from unusual materials. She will be exhibiting her works at the Chanhassen Library through the month of July. A graduate of MCAD, Sara has enjoyed more than four decades as a studio artist with recognition, awards, exhibitions, and sales with artworks in private and corporate collections across the U.S. and abroad. Sara is owner and resident artist of Mill House Gallery & Gifts in Chaska’s historic downtown. Spending a life time of development, focusing on fundamentals of what makes art “good,” her art works have evolved well beyond the mainstream. Well-versed in several different mediums, comfortable depicting traditional imagery, her “serious” works have been emerging into the realm of surreal and abstract since the late 1980s. The medium is acrylics partnered with polymers. She adds manipulated plastics (garbage) with a new defi nition of “art supplies” with years of experimental trials behind her now to control what plastics can be made to do. The “garbage” can no longer be defi ned as “found objects” as they are re-formed into a “medium of construction.” Sara’s works are three-dimensional with layered paint applications to reveal depth and textures. Sara says, “Good art has to say something. It is my joy to seclude myself in my studio to study the humanities, to learn mankind’s greatness and failings … then to make art. “I am not young and have lived a long enough li fe to have experienced much and obser ved much. My works are often commentary on our American culture. I am inspired by my own experiences and observations. “I am also an ‘arm chair academic’ due to my early years in public school when teachers taught how us to learn and then never stop learning. I do get into a rather large variety of topics that many people consider dull or boring … I study the humanities. “The first art teacher to make a pivotal impression on me was John Grengs [with the] Roseville School District, sixth and seventh grade. At MCAD I was fortunate to study under Urban Couch and Birney Quick – both rather important in my development. “My favorite artists: Michelangelo, Vincent van Gogh,

REVIEWS “How I ended this summer.” This DVD was a winner for Best Actor & Best Cinematography in the 2010 Berlin International Film Festival. On a beautiful but barren island in the Arctic Circle, two Russian scientists work at a small meteorological station. Their work is repetitive and boring, seemingly meaningless, taking readings on a variety of strange equipment, and reading numbers into a radio to their base at intervals. Young and inexperienced Pavel is left in charge once when older, experienced Sergei is off fishing. He misses one of his scheduled readings and is off kilter when he gets a tragic message for Sergei – his wife and young son have been seriously injured. The base keeps asking him how Sergei is taking the news, but Pavel is afraid to tell him. He keeps Sergei from talking to the base whenever he can, until the news has to come out. The base is sending for Sergei and Pavel hiked to fi nd him at a remote bay. The relationship between the two men has deteriorated and Pavel is a fraid of Sergei, and flees into the desolate wilderness. “Started early, took my dog,” by Kate Atkinson T he aut hor of t he Jackson Brodie mysteries has a new one out, following “Case Histories,” “One good Turn,” and “When will there be good news.” Jackson Brodie is ex-military, retired from the police, now a semi-reti red P.I. I n “Started early,” he fi nds (saves really) a new dog while looking for a woman’s past.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

“Skewed” is one of the pieces by Chaska artist Sara Hanlon on display though the month of July at the Chanhassen Library. Hanlon explains: “My art uses garbage, mostly plastics though I include many other things being thrown away. I have been running experimental trials for several years to learn what plastics can be made to do, altering them into ‘a medium of construction,’ an ‘art supply’ and generally unrecognizable to their original form.” Hop e Mc Masters lives in New Zealand, was adopted by parents in Leeds, a nd wa s told her pa rents d ie d i n a c a r crash. Shortly after her adopt ion , her new parents moved to New Zealand. She has hired Jackson to fi nd out about her birth family, but he is coming up empty. Hope was told her parent’s names, but Brodie fi nds they never existed. Brodie is driving all over Yorkshire trying

to fi nd answers, accompanied by his new dog. The initial social worker seems to have disappeared, le av i n g b eh i nd a n emp t y fi le with a photo and a name scrawled on the cover. The name is of a policewoman who seems to have disappeared as well. When he goes to Whitby to interview a woman who wrote about a murder where a toddler was found locked with a body for weeks, he thinks he may have a lead – until he fi nds out the child was a little boy. He is shadowed by a gray car, a man who has put a tracking device on his dog; and a couple of thugs. Will he ever stumble on

Chan twin brings international conventions to the Twin Cities BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

After her sister Sally died, Sandy Walls Meyer wasn’t sure who she was anymore. If her twin had died, was she still a twin? And how could she explain that the person she was closest to from birth — literally — was gone, and that there was a huge hole in her life and her identity? Who else could relate? No one. That is until Sandy, of Chanhassen, mustered up the courage to attend her fi rst International Twin Association (ITA) in 1992. “It was funny,” Sandy recalled. “[In 1988] Sally and I had talked about going to the twins’ convention, and what a hoot it would be to be with other twins.” They sketched out plans to attend the 1989 national convention. But it was not to be. In January 1989, Sally learned she had leukemia. Even though Sandy donated bone marrow, Sally didn’t recover. Instead, she died from complications of the transplant in August 1989, two weeks before the twins’ convention they had talked about so enthusiastically. “It took me three years to fi nd the courage to attend the ITA in Atlanta in 1992,” Sandy said. “I thought, ‘why would I want to go by myself ?’ But it was at this convention that I first met Raymond Brandt. She learned that Brandt had founded the Twinless Twins Support Group, International (TTSGI). Brandt had lost his twin brother and created the group to reach out to other twins who were grieving. “It was the fi rst time since Sally’s death that I felt someone truly understood how I felt,” Sandy said. “I also met several other twinless twins. They were so loving, and openhearted.” A couple years ago, TTSGI spun off and began having its own annual convention. “I belong to both organizations now,” Sandy said. “I still go to the ITA. I’m like their surviving twin sweetheart. It’s like a family reunion every year. And at TTSGI, you realize that you’re always a twin, no matter what. You think like a

TWINS TO THE TWIN CITIES Thanks to Sandy, two international organizations for twins will bring their annual conventions to the Twin Cities. This July 21-23 the TTSGI meets at the Bloomington Marriott Airport. On Labor Day weekend 2012, the ITA comes to the Twin Cities. Sandy’s been on a mission to bring the twins conventions to the Twin Cities for many years and finally succeeded three years ago when she submitted a bid to bring ITA to Minnesota in 2012, and the annual TTSGI convention this summer. “[TTGSI] Organizers thought the Twin Cities was a perfect place to host both twins convention,” Sandy said. “I’ve always thought it’s a natural.” There’s been only one ITA convention in the Twin Cities, Sandy said, many years ago.

Attendance at the conventions ranges from 100 to 150 people, though attendance has dipped in recent years due to the cost of travel. The TTGSI members always have a remembrance ceremony at the annual convention with a balloon release. This year, they’ll rent a boat on the Mississippi River; in lieu of balloons they’ll toss rose petals into the river.

TWINSHIP Twins run in the family. “My mom has a twin sister, too,” Sandy said. “They’ll be 84 in a few months. And my grandmother had three sets — my mom Joy and her sister, fraternal twins Ella Jane and Mary Jean, and fraternal males who died at birth. And there’s at least one pair on my dad’s side at least a generation back.” Sandy and Sally were born and raised in Richfield. They’re fraternal, not identical, and always puzzled when people said they couldn’t tell them apart.

HILARIOUS!

“How could they not?” Sandy laughed. “Sally was tall and thin. I was not … Once we had a discussion — we were always of jealous of each other. ‘You had beautiful curves, a beautiful body, the outgoing personality,’ Sally told me. I said. ‘But you had all the boyfriends. I had the pimples and crooked teeth. Our sixth-grade classmate named us ‘Beauty and the Beast.’” “Sally and I dressed alike until ninth grade,” Sandy recalled, laughing. “And then at age 31 or 32, we went out and bought seagreen velour sweatshirts so we could try to be twins again. Being a twin means never having to be lonely, she said. “You never worried about being alone, because you had your twin,” Sandy said. “Growing up, we felt we didn’t need our parents to encourage us. We had each other. We did have a healthy competition going on with homework, but we helped each other thrive. “For twins, there’s not a

My husband would get into fights with his brother over who got the last cookie. I was appalled. I don’t ever remember being taught to share. [As a twin] It’s just something you did. “It’s funny. Whenever I get with a group of twins, we can fi nish each other’s sentences. Identicals feel they’re more special, that they feel closer but [fraternals] are no different. Living in the womb, that’s what makes it happen. “I miss her every single day,” Sandy said. “I moved forward, it took a while. But being a twin is the greatest gift, even now. I’m living life for two, so I have twice the joy, and make twice the effort. I have a positive attitude after being so grief

July’s Charity – Southwest Metro Animal Rescue Southwest Metro Animal Rescue and Adoption Society is a non-profit organization committed to the rescue of abandoned, abused and stray domestic animals. We believe the animalhuman bond is strengthened through education of the public on the humane treatment of animals, pet population control and support for animal protection laws. We are an all-volunteer non-profit organization. We do not have any paid staff and receive no government funding. Our founding members have over 35 years combined experience in the animal rescue field. We have established federal tax-exempt status as a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization. Southwest Metro Animal Rescue does not operate a shelter building, and is a volunteer foster home-based organization that hosts regularly scheduled monthly Pet Adoption Days. Our procedure is to evaluate the animal, provide necessary medical care (including spay/neuter), place in a caring foster home, and finally find a suitable forever home for each pet. We rely on donations of food and supplies to care for the pets. We maintain a no-kill policy except in cases when euthanasia is deemed the only viable, reasonable and humane option. www.swmetroanimalrescue.org

Jeans Day is celebrated the last Friday of each month! If your organization is interested in participating, please contact Jennifer Sorenson at 952-345-6477 or jsorenson@swpub.com
