Camping out in the backyard Shutdown helps attendance at local parks

BY FORREST ADAMS fadams@swpub.com

A Three Rivers Park District enews release last week exploited the bitter pill that many people have been forced to swallow this month by asking the following question: “Did the state government shut down your camping plans?”

What was a disappointment for campers with reservations at one of Minnesota’s 66 state parks turned out to be a boon for local parks.

But many campers, who would

have left the area for a state park, seem to have turned instead to local campgrounds, where officials say the reservation desks are busy.

New morgue needed?

County part of co-op facing big decision

Local duo is bicycling the country

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

With admittedly little preparation, the long-time friends and Chaska High School grads left Carver County on May 22. They expect to return sometime in November.

“We thought, let’s just get stuff and we’ll figure it out,” said Carlson.

Medical Examiner Dr. Lindsey Thomas would like to retire in eight years, and she wants to leave area counties in good hands.

But Thomas knows forensic pathologists are hard to come by. It may be impossible to hire a lead examiner for the eight south-central Minnesota counties she serves unless the Minnesota Regional Medical Examiner’s Office gets a new facility before she retires.

Thomas shares the basement of Regina Medical Center in Hastings, where bodies come in the same door as the hospital’s outpatients.

The agency’s caseload has grown nearly five times and exams have more than doubled since the morgue was last remodeled in 1987, but there is no room at Regina to expand. Five counties have also been added to the collaborative.

Besides limited space to store specimens, there’s no place to put additional staff or add on to the autopsy room.

Staff must manually move bodies because they have no mechanical lifts. Only a small storage closet exists for storing tissue samples and the evidence room lacks a secure entry system.

Perhaps the most concerning is the single room for performing autopsies, when there should be at least two to

What do you do when you’ve lost your job, your home and your girlfriend? You hop on a bicycle and set off on a 10,000 mile ride, of course.

At least that’s what you do if you’re Shane Carlson.

Carlson, 30, of Chaska, and Victoria’s Luke Earley, 26, are more than a quarter of the way through an “epic” journey that will take them on a wild figure-eight ride across America and into Canada and Mexico.

Neither is an avid biker or a huge planner, but they didn’t let that deter them from thinking big when it came to hitting the road.

“Recently relieved of his home, job and girlfriend, [Carlson] no longer feels obligated to participate in the tedious motions of the everyday grind,” he explained in the duo’s “This Side of the Road” blog.

“I had nothing to do,” Carlson explained in a phone interview from New York City.

“I wanted to have an epic adventure and not have any regrets,” he continued. “This is something huge for me.”

Earley’s expectations aren’t quite as grand. “I wanted to see the coun-

The longest-running government shutdown in Minnesota’s history ended Wednesday morning when Gov. Mark Dayton signed all bills for a new two-year state budget into law, although local Republican lawmakers had mixed reactions to the budget.

The budget allows the state to spend about $35.7 billion, an increase in spending over the previous biennium.

Dayton took aim at Republicans and fi red away, demanding future tax increases to fund spending increases. “I raised revenues responsibly and sustainably,� he said. “They were not willing to raise taxes.�

Republicans decided on $700 million in tobacco bond borrowing and $ 700 million in school shift borrowing. (District 112 Superintendent Jim Bauck said his district would likely need to borrow money as early as next spring. The state

“I c a n tel l you t hat ou r phones have been ringing off the hook lately for camping and shelter reservations,� said Lenny Schmitz, parks operation coordinator for Carver County. “Our folks in reservations have been getting a lot of calls from people hoping to rearrange their camping plans,� said Tom Knisely, spokesperson for Three Rivers Park District.

H ow e v e r, r e s c h e du l i n g hasn’t been as easy as making a phone call. When it comes to weekend camping, many people have found themselves out of luck. Most local campsites are already booked.

People at the Three Rivers reservation desk are encouraging campers to camp during the middle of the week. “There are few weekend spots left this summer, so we’re encouraging folks to take a

has promised to allocate $ 50 per pupil to cover any interest expense that districts incur as a cost of borrowing due to the funding shift.)

Dayton also insisted on passage of a $500 million bonding bill that he said would put Minnesotans back to work.

Rep. Ernie Leidiger, a Mayer Republican, was not happy with the fi nal budget. On his drive into St. Paul on Tuesday for the special session, Liediger said he thought the budget didn’t accomplish enough spending cuts. “What you’re doing is growing government. You’re sucking money out of the private sector,� he said. “This amounts to an increase in spending that I can’t support. I will not vote for this.�

Assistant Majority Leader Rep. Joe Hoppe, a Chaska Republican, said in e-mail correspondence that although he was “not thrilled with the budget deal� he would nevertheless vote for it during special session. Sen. Julianne Ortman, a Chanhassen Republican and

chair of the Senate tax committee, said she would vote for it, too. “We have to get the state back to work,� she said.

The state government officially shut down on July 1 because legislative Republicans and the Democratic governor were unable to agree on a budget during the Legislature’s regular session. Lawmakers needed to eliminate a $5 billion deficit in the state’s two-year budget cycle for 2012-13, which began on July 1. Without a budget, on July 1, 22,000 state employees were laid off, state offices closed, state websites were taken down, road construction projects were halted and state parks closed.

Legislators commonly use public school funding as a means to save the state money by changing the formula the state uses to reimburse schools for the cost of educating students. For the current year, the state pays 70 percent and holds back 30 percent until the following year.

The new budget proposal would change that to a 60-40 shift in education funding.

‘Midweek-end,’� said Knisely.

The same holds true at Baylor Regional Park, the only park in Carver County’s system with a campground. “If I had twice as many camp sites, I’d fi ll them,� said Schmitz.

The message has taken root because recently there has been a pickup in midweek activity at Baylor, according to Joe and Joanne Zoppa, one of two pair of camp hosts there.

The two transplants from Florida lamented all the would-be weekend campers they’ve had to turn away. “We’ve had a lot of phone calls from people. Unfortunately, there’s just not a lot we can do on the weekends,� said Joann. “During the Fourth of July weekend, we had a lot of people walking in and asking.�

The Zoppas, who are spending the season living in their RV in Baylor Park, know what it’s like to have a state park reservation and not be able to

use it. Their own trip to Jay Cooke State Park, near Duluth, got cancelled last week. Joe and Joanne planned to spend the week exploring the North Shore and Jay Cooke with their 13-year-old grandson, Noah, from Grand Rapids, Mich.

Instead they wound up exploring their own backyard.

Joe said it wasn’t the end of the world. They’ve grown to love Baylor Park since coming to Minnesota in April. Returning from a bike trip with Joe, Noah remarked: “This camp is awesome.�

At most, the forced change of plans was an irritation. “We even bought a park sticker for our car,� Joann said.

Carver County operates Baylor Regional Park, Lake Minnewashta Regional Park and Lake Waconia Regional Park.

Only Baylor has a campground with 50 campsites. Locally, Three Rivers Park District offers 57 “rustic� sites at its Lake auburn Campground at Carver Park in Victoria.

Council gets first look at 2012 budget issues $400,000 deficit in the forecast

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

The Chaska City Council took its fi rst look at 2012 budget issues during a work session Monday night. Another year of depressed home market values will contribute to a $400,000-plus deficit the city will have to overcome for 2012.

The average home has lost 4.5 percent of its value for taxes payable in 2012.

Last year, Chaska faced a $650,000 gap which it remedied through a mixture of raising the city’s tax rate and defer ring equipment pu rchases and new hires.

The council did not discuss how next year’s budget will be balanced, but City Administrator Matt Podhradsky was optimistic that they would fi nd a way.

“I feel pretty good about the 2012 issue,” Podhradsky told the council. “I consider it manageable.”

Podhradsky pointed to a slight increase in building permits and an uptick in electrical usage as signs that the local economy may be on the

BIKERS continued from page 1

That included their route, which is largely composed of cities where they have friends and places that have piqued their interest. “We looked at the map and concentrated on the East and West coasts,” explained Earley.

Aside from plotting a loose course, the two fig ured on mostly winging it to find places to stay each night.

The fi rst day, the duo battled a flat tire and rain to make it to the western edge of Wisconsin, spending the night under a bridge on I-94 near the St. Croix River. They logged just over 70 miles that day, right in line with their expectations for the trip.

“We planned to do 70 to 80 miles a day, pushing it up to 100 on certain days,” said Earley.

On Day 2, Carlson and Earley scaled back their mileage to go skydiving, but by Day 3 they were back on the road at full steam, covering more than 80 miles.

On Day 5 the guys made it as far as Wisconsin Dells before Carlson’s knee would allow him to go no further. Carlson then took “alternative modes of transportation” for a few days to let his knee rest. A doctor would later diagnose him with a misaligned patella and send him to physical therapy.

“Training would have fixed that,” said Earley, admitting that the two could have probably better prepared for the trip and avoided such an early injury.

But with two weeks and 700 miles under their belts, Carlson was back on his bike continuing the journey alongside Earley, any notions of giving up and going home pushed aside. “ We’r e m a r r ie d t o t h i s thing,” said Carlson. “No matter what happens, we’ll figure out a way to do it.”

rebound.

“Things are starting to look better,” he said.

They may not improve soon enough to solve even bigger budget deficits projected for 2013 and beyond, however.

Podhradsky told the council that they will need to begin thinking about how to fund non-growth related positions like a full-time fi re chief and administrative support staff.

They will also need to figure out how to go about equipment replacement when deferments are no longer an option.

As growth continues, the city will further need a plan to bring back inspectors and inspection support staff positions that were axed when the economy soured.

Podhradsky noted that there is a bright spot on the horizon as they look to 2014-15, when the city’s TIF District No. 4 closes.

Those associated dollars are already dedicated to go toward Chaska’s Street Reconstruction Program which will then be in the middle of a comprehensive downtown street replacement.

The council will meet several times over the next five months to further discuss the 2012 budget. The preliminary tax levy will be set in September with Truth in Taxation meetings scheduled for December.

ADAPTING Nearly two months after leaving Minnesota, Carlson and Earley are now fi rmly ensconced on the East Coast and hovering around the Washington, D.C. area.

“There’s been no bad experiences,” said Carlson. “Every place has been pleasant.”

“It’s been a really positive experience,” agreed Earley.

Since spending their first ni g ht u nder a n i nterst ate bridge, the two have slept on the street a few times. Mostly, they fi nd shelter with friends or through Internet sites that match bicyclists with those willing to provide free accommodations.

“We’ve developed an amazi ng abi lity to adapt,” said Shane.

They’ve run into a host of helpful people along the way, too.

“Never be afraid to travel anywhere,” said Carlson, remarking on how surprised they were by the kindness of the people they met – even in densely populated metros like Detroit where they expected to be more on guard.

ROUTE Big cities have captured their hearts along the way including Montreal, New York and, their favorite, Toronto.

“It kind of felt like home,” said Carlson.

They’ll next travel south toward New Orleans before veering northwest through Denver on their way to Vancouver and Seattle. From there, it’s south again through Portland and San Francisco on to Tijuana, Mexico. A jaunt through the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas will be their fi nal hurrah before heading back home to Minnesota. At that point, they expect to have logged more than 10,000 miles.

“I’m super excited about the southwest and Arizona,” said

Carlson of what lies ahead. “It’s going to be some of the greatest biking ever.”

“I’m visiting my friends,” countered Earley. “That’s what I’m excited about.”

DIFFERENCES There are clear differences between Earley and Carlson.

For example, Earley is more focused on putting miles on and getting to the day’s destination while Carlson loves to stop and take in the scenery.

“He feels like he’s missing something constantly,” said Earley, of Carlson.

Earley often rides ahead, leaving Carlson to wonder if he’ll actually be at their appointed meeting place. Carlson has yet to be abandoned, though Earley won’t deny considering it.

“We argue a lot,” he said.

“But we argued a lot before the trip.”

“There’s been times I wanted to murder him, drown him,” admitted Carlson. And yet they’ve managed to work it out, as they’ve worked out the other curve balls their trip has thrown at them.

“Now we’re on auto-pilot.”

Still, there are days when bicycling 70, 80 or 100 miles isn’t appealing to either one of them.

“The first 15 minutes are bad,” said Earley. “But if you make it the fi rst 10 miles, you’ll be fi ne for 100.”

“If you get up and put your feet on the pedals, you’ll get where you’re going,” said Carlson.

“I’m going to be ruined,” he said.

“The ride is the greatest distraction.”

“If I could get a book out of this and live off the royalties, that would be great,” he said.

Library is more than just books As I listened to the radio recently, several people called in with questions about what government actually does, and I suspect most of us have the same question.

I have no intention to take on that big question, but I will try to take on a small piece and talk about our Carver County Library, which I am more familiar since I am a member of the library board.

The County Library budget for 2012 will be just under $3,200,000, and our population is approximately 91,000, so the cost of the library system per person is about $35.

What do we get for that $35?

Most of us think of the library as a book depositary where we can find information, or entertainment.

The interesting thing is that the Library’s Mission Statement: “To be a gathering place providing access ideas, experiences, and materials to enrich our lives.” does not even mention books. One of its functions is a storehouse, but not just for books.

In addition to books there are DVDs, music CDs, books on CD, etc.

With your library card you not only have access to the collection in your local library, but you also have access to the collections of all the other Carver County libraries. Material can be borrowed at each of the libraries, or ordered from any of the libraries, or best of all it can be reserved on line, and picked up at the closest library.

That alone would be great, but it goes beyond that since through our library we have access to all the state’s libraries. By going to www. mnlinkgateway.org, you can search the entire state library system for material. True it may not be immediately available, but think of everything we have access to.

Many of us would feel we have gotten our money’s worth with the above, but our library offers so much more. I am going through the library calendar for one month this year. I want to list just a few of the activities that are listed.

To start with there are a number of story times for lapsit (very young), toddler and family. If you are like my wife and I with grown children, you might say “So what?” I know for me I am expecting those kids to help pay my Social Security, and I would also not like to pay to keep them in prison.

There is a correlation on how

Jim

WEYGAND GUEST COMMENTARY

kids do in school and their reading ability. There is a correlation between education and earning ability. There is a correlation between performance in early years of schooling and future prison populations. For me encouraging reading in our young children is a great investment in our future.

Besides programs for the kids, there are also programs for adults. In March there were two Great Decisions Programs on “Rebuilding Haiti” and “Responding to the Financial Crisis.”

There were also several Master Gardeners programs, a genealogy lab, and computer classes. For seniors there was a program offering tax help, also computer workshops and a program to “Maintain your Brain.”

Besides all these programs and materials the libraries also offer computer terminals and high-speed Internet connection for those who need it. There is all access to more than 60 databases. Our libraries also provide a valuable resource for those involved in job search, especially in today’s environment when a computer is a necessity.

All these programs all fit into our mission statement, but implied in that mission is to serve all residents of Carver County.

The library also has programs to assist those who have mobility restrictions. One program is the Homebound Delivery Service, which brings library materials, through volunteers, to individuals unable to come to the library. For more info, contact Tari Clay at (952) 227-7609.

The library also brings rotating small collections to assisted living and senior housings facilities.

Having yard trouble? Go native Plants native to Minnesota offer many great benefits to us when used in our yards. For lawns with “squishy spots” or areas with bare soil where nothing grows, these types of problems can be solved with the help of native plants.

Native plants are local plants that are adapted to your climate and soils, are drought tolerant, and disease resistant. Most native plants do not require fertilizer or water once they are established and they can tolerate our extreme Minnesota climate conditions. As a result they typically thrive with less care than non-native species.

In addition, when used as part of your landscape, native plants provide many benefits to you, to water and to soil health and wildlife.

They generally have super long roots that find their own water, can help decrease soil compaction, and filter out pollutants from rain runoff (storm water), which is why they are great plants for rain gardens. These roots help stabilize the soil, thus reducing erosion, and increasing infiltration of storm water so your yard doesn’t become a soggy mess.

Native plants are relatively maintenance free, they don’t need mowing, fertilizers or pesticides and so in the long run they cost

less and reduce water pollution resulting from runoff. By providing nectar, berries, seeds, and shelter they can also be used to attract wildlife. A pair of binoculars makes for an enjoyable evening of watching wildlife around your native plants.

Within the seven-county metro area, only 3.5 percent of the original 1,903,640 acres of native plants is left.

Some native plants that do great in yards include: Red Osier Dogwood, Cornus sericea, is a common shrub with red stems and clusters of white flowers that bloom from May to June. The common blue butterfly uses its flowers while many birds

use its fruit.

Sensitive Fern, Onoclea sensibilis, is great for shady wet locations. This fern is typically found in wet woods, wet meadows and wetlands. It can grow up to 4 ft tall. It received its name because it is sensitive to the first frost, but its green fertile fronds are attractive all year.

Indian blanket, Gaillardia x grandiflora, has abundant, colorful, daisy-like flowerheads in yellow, orange, red and maroon colors that bloom between June and September. It is a very hardy plant, being both heat and drought tolerant, and is easy to grow and provides beautiful cut flowers.

Purple Coneflower, Echinacea purpurea, is an excellent plant for attracting birds, butterflies, and finches. It has vibrant purple flowers that bloom from June to August and grows about 2.5 feet tall.

This is a low maintenance, easy to grow plant that tolerates clay and alkaline soils. It provides wonderful cut flowers for your home and tends to be deer resistant.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR SHUTDOWN

Republicans need a timeout This is a letter to all state elected officials.

Why do you people have to wait until the very end to try and get things done? There is blame enough to go around.

First off, Gov. Dayton should have gotten his budget to the legislature much sooner than he did. At least that way, everyone could have been trying to work together earlier.

Second is that the Republican legislators should not have let their new power go to their heads. Oh it must have been nice to finally take the lead after 30 years but come on; you people are like kids in a candy store. Mine, mine, mine. The heck with the other guys. That goes for the Democrats when they get back in power in 2012.

The one thing that we in Minnesota have hopefully learned is that the Republicans can’t govern. It’s not because they don’t have some good ideas, it is because they do not know how to compromise. Our government will only succeed if all people in government can compromise.

Do you not look in the mirror at night or are you so full of yourselves that you actually believe that everything you do is right? That sounds like dictatorship, not democracy.

I consider myself to be a centralist.

I can see the points of both sides. Yes, we cannot have unchecked government growth. We need to make some hard cuts in the budget and the way

services are distributed. But you can’t just cut your way out of this mess. You have to have a balanced approach. Even responsible economists say that.

You also need new income streams.

But you cannot do it on the backs of the people that make this economy run. Yes, I mean the middle class. If you don’t have a strong and vibrant middle class spending money, it won’t matter how many tax breaks you give businesses or wealthy people. They won’t create jobs if no one is buying their services and products.

The previous governor, whose name escapes me at the moment, just kicked the problem down the road, helping to create this huge mess. And now with this budget agreement, they did it again. Thank you Republicans.

If you want a fairer tax system, then create one. But don’t tell me or most Minnesotans that taxing wealthier Minnesotans will kill jobs.

It won’t work because we are not that stupid. You just say that to scare people into voting for you.

I see the fair way to handle taxes is to create a two-tier system. The working poor have one rate and the rest have another rate. No loop holes.

That is it.

In closing, if the Republicans were one of my kids, I would give them a time out until they learned how to play nice with others.

Overall, in my opinion, the Republicans are 80 percent at fault and the Democrats 20 percent.

LOST AND FOUND

There are good people out there Despite the fact that we read the news every day and see all the tragedy around us, I want to share a unique story of a man with a good heart.

On a Su nday a f ter noon we decided to head to the beach in Excelsior to hang out for the day with a few of our friends. We had been playing in the sand with our friends’ son and swimming in the lake all afternoon.

About 3 p.m. my husband Chris came to me in a panic and said he had lost his wedding ring. He was crushed and I was extremely bummed.

We dug through the sand and looked in the water for a good hour, but were unsuccessful. We had to get going and didn’t think the chances of fi nding it were very good. We were married last August, so we were both pretty sad since we hadn’t even made it through our one-year anniversary.

On a whim the next morning, I decided to put an ad on Craigslist about his lost ring on the chance someone would come across it and have a good heart to return it. I didn’t think anything would come of it, but had to at least try for peace of mind.

I received an e-mail from a guy named Gary who said he had a waterproof metal detector and would be willing to go look for it. Talk

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Chris Konechne and Gary Michalski, following their successful search for Chris’s wedding ring about a nice guy!

We agreed to meet him at the beach at 7 p.m. and hoped for the best. Chris and Gary searched the beach line and water for two full hours. Since the sun was setting, they decided they would look for five more minutes and then head in.

At this point they had both pretty much given up hope after fi nding only tons of glass and pennies. They were way out by the swimming buoys and the detector showed something so they scooped up one last shovel of sand from the bottom of the lake.

Low and behold – a shiny piece of white gold was found! They could

hardly believe their eyes.

Chris and Gary started cheering.

Even the few people left at the beach started clapping.

We can’t thank Gary enough. He is such a nice man who went out of his way to help us out.

I just think this story is so neat – mostly for the fact that there are still good people out there willing to help.

It’s amazing how things turn out.

Chris and I are overjoyed that he has his ring back!

I don’t think he’ll ever go swimming with it anymore.

LETTERS continued from page 4

Not receiving my vote next time On July 14, the Chaska Herald published two articles with comments by state legislators that I found disturbing and irritating. Mr. Hoppe, Ms. Ortman and Mr. Leidiger stated that they are entitled to keep receiving a paycheck during the shutdown.

You stated that you were elected to do the job and you are doing it. With all due respect, whom are you kidding?

You knew what the job was before you were elected; you understood where the problems came from; and you understood the amount of time you had to complete the task at hand (during regular session). Then it was up to you to establish priorities.

Well, you did not do it. Now you and your staff still collect paychecks while others are laid off – reward for poor performance. It is a disgrace.

When things did not go your way, you played the blame game, a behavior more commonly displayed by preschool children on a playground and unbecoming of an elected state official.

The legislature is responsible to develop a fair, reasonable and fi scally responsible budget. Yet for the first five months no progress was made.

On June 2, Gov. Dayton requested an unbiased professional mediator to help resolve any differences and come up with a proposal that everyone could agree with. The GOP sternly rejected the proposal with a ‘We were elected to lead’ statement. We do not need anyone else.

Then again when a bipartisan committee of state experts came up with suggestions to resolve the state deficit for the long term, you again rejected that offer as well. You seem to think that you know it all – again, the characteristic unbecoming of an elected official.

Mr. Leidiger states that the governor is a minority because he only received 44 percent of the votes, and that it is the Republicans that are the majority.

Well, sir, guess who kicked this can down the road that got us into this mess?

July 21, 2011 | Page 5

Since you were elected to hold the line on spending, please calculate the costs to the state during this shutdown and defend this reckless spending.

Ms. Ortman indicated that she needs two valid questions answered: “How much more do you need” and “What is that for?”

You and everyone in the state is entitled to those answers as well, but that can only be accomplished by reaching out, dialogue, discussion, understanding, negotiations, and compromise in a constructive environment.

To represent me, your priorities are misplaced. You are putting yourself first, your party second and the people of the state third, No matter what you say. If those were reversed life in Minnesota would be much better.

In conclusion, Ms. Ortman and Mr. Hoppe received my vote in the last election and I was proud when they were elected.

Well, both of you failed me and you will not receive my vote next time. I do not have a chance to vote for Mr. Leidiger, and would not vote for him if I could.

It could jog at 41 to the lights less than a block north, cross and go through Chaska. It could then go to Carver following the existing rail beds.

Bypassing Chaska is not a good solution. It would not be hard to go through Chaska too.

I think people would enjoy a hot day being at the old Chaska depot enjoying ice cream before biking back to where they came from.

TRAILS FILE PHOTO BY MARK W. OLSON

Bypassing Chaska not good solution I have learned the trail to be built on the Ex-Union Pacific/ M&STL rail beds will bypass Chaska.

There is no advantage to this, as the local businesses will not get that extra boost from trail users. The plans call for the trail to split from the rail beds at Athletic Park, then go around Chaska on the levy.

The levee trail floods every spring, and sometimes in the summer and fall. It would then come in on the east side of town, and connect to the trail that now exists.

It is true that the trail should have some tie in to the levee, but it should go through Chaska. I believe the trail should come in over County 61 to Engler, go back to Stoughton Avenue then follow Stoughton Avenue, have a tie in with the levy trail below. It could then get back on the rail beds at the spur to the sugar plant.

Is “Walking Man” legendary University of Minnesota golf coach Les Bolstad?

Hazeltine hit nail squarely Congratulations to the members of Hazeltine National.

Their statue honors one of their own and a golf legend. (“Hazeltine unveils its ‘Walking Man,’” July 14.)

More so however it honors a person who was so kind and gentle to all his contacts.

The Walking Man statue could be no one other then Les Bolstad. I had the honor of knowing Mr. Bolstad in the 1970s at the University of Minnesota. Fondest memories remain today and will forever, as he was a wonderful mentor.

Members of Hazeltine should be proud as they hit the nail squarely with the “Walking Man.”

The heat is on High temps make mark

BY MARK W. OLSON editor@chaskaherald.com

By Monday, Ridgeview medical crews had already treated about six people for heat-related illnesses in the latest wave of hot temps One of those treated included a young healthy male who was working on a roof.

He developed heat exhaustion and came in by ambulance, reports Dr. David Larson, director of Emergency Medicine at T wo T welve Medical Center in Chaska and Ridgeview Medical Center in Waconia.

Those working outside, as well as the young and the elderly are at risk in extreme temps, Larson notes. “Elderly people are at risk, many times because they’re on medications,” Larson said.

“Blood pressure medications, allergy medications make more people more prone to heat illness,” he said.

There are three levels of heat illness, Larson said.

They begin with heat cramps, and then move on to heat exhaustion. Heat exhaustion sy mptoms include weakness, dizziness, headaches, and sometimes nausea and vomiting. “Sometimes people will even pass out from that,” Larson said.

The third level is heat st roke – t he i l l ness t hat killed Vikings player Korey Stringer in 2001. The victim will lose the ability to sweat and body temperatures can reach 106 degrees, Larson said.

At this point, the victim starts to develop neurological symptoms such as convulsions, disorientation and sometimes seizures, Larson said. If it progresses, a coma will follow.

hour – out of the heat and in the shade.

If someone does show symptoms of heat stroke, such as disorientation, lightheadedness, or passing out, Larson recommends calling 911, then cooling the person down by removing their clothing, spraying their body with water and blowing a fan over them to speed the water evaporation.

Larson also recommends drinking water or Gatorade, and not alcohol or caffeinated beverages such as coffee, which act as diuretics and will cause dehydration.

That’s advice the pros tell local golfers. “We let all of our players know there is ample drinking water on the course and we encourage them to drink a lot,” said John Kellin, Chaska Town Course head golf pro.

“Early tee times are the most popular. It is still too hot in the evening,” Kellin noted. On Tuesday, the Town Course had half its normal reservations due to the heat.

“We are also generous with rain checks on these days if people want to stop playing,” Kellin said.

afternoon at about 4 p.m.,” reports Chaska Electrical Director Dan Geiger. “We may exceed that number on Tuesday or Wednesday also.”

For the city’s municipal electric department, it’s been a record-breaking summer, with two previous peak demands on June 7 and July 1 which broke a previous high of 66,600 kw from 2010.

“So we are about 7 percent above last years levels. This is due in part to new commercial/ industrial loads, but the majority of it is just due to air conditioning loads running a lot harder than previous years,” Geiger reports.

“Fortunately we have not been af fected by any large storms with this heat wave, which is sometimes the case.

We did have a couple of outages on Monday night due to the heat but they affected a small number of customers who got their power quickly restored.

“Our workers have also been enduring this heat working outside on projects that need to be done. They have to be very careful to make sure they stay hydrated and don’t overdo it. We’ve got a lot going on right now and our workers still keep plugging along in the heat to provide the most reliable system possible.”

separate bodies that might be decaying, infectious or used for organ harvesting.

Families also have no private area to view loved ones — just the hallway or intake room.

“They are pretty cramped down there,” commented Scott Cou nty Com missioner Joe Wagner, a funeral director.

For months now, Thomas has shared her personal office with Marie Barbesier, a French forensics physician who came to Minnesota for a fellowship with the Olmsted County medical examiner, who abruptly resigned. Thomas had no room, but offered the woman work space at a table feet away from her desk.

T h o m a s , wh o fo r m e rly worke d for t he Hen nepi n County medical examiner and still lives in Minneapolis, has overseen the office for about 10 years. She oversees three other forensic pathologists, a senior death investigator and three administrative staf f.

Thirty part-time investigators also respond to calls in their respective counties.

Minnesota counties are required to employ either a coroner — a medical doctor who may be a family physician — or a medical examiner, a forensic pathologist specially trained to perform death investigations.

Counties without a medical examiner might hire one for specific cases.

Carver County contracts with seven other counties for medical examiner services. As coroners retire, Thomas sees such partnerships expanding.

Counties are finding it harder to recruit doctors who are willing to double as coroners, and more expertise is expected nowadays from death investigations.

www.chaskaherald.com | Chaska Herald T homas sees Mi n nesot a moving further to a regional medica l exa mi ner system, similar to her office’s.

Last year, Thomas’ office investigated 2,080 deaths, with 350 autopsies performed for eight counties. She was hired to conduct another 70 autopsies by counties who only have a coroner.

The issue about the morgue’s future really came to a head when the former CEO of Regina asked the medical examiner’s office to move. The hospital needed more room and sharing the building with a morgue wasn’t the most glamorous set-up.

A 2008 Dakota County study concluded what Thomas already knew: her facility is inadequate.

At the time, building on the grounds of the Northfield hospital seemed the best option.

Northfield would be a good place to draw a medical examiner whose spouse could work in Rochester or the Twin Cities.

It also offered the advantages of sharing the hospital’s lab, radiology and pathology services.

Since then, additional opportunities have come up and the clock isn’t ticking as fast for a decision to be made.

“It’s now up in the air,” Thomas said.

MANY OPTIONS What’s new?

Hennepin County is interested in building a new facility and Anoka County has a new morgue. Both counties are open to partnering with Thomas.

The new leader of Regina is also more supportive than the past CEO. Regina still wants its space back in the basement, but Thomas is no longer under pressure to move quickly. The hospital also has asked Thomas to remodel Allina Clinic across the street for her office.

Each option has its advan-

Just replaced your

tage. If the agency could partner with Hennepin County in a new facility around the Bloomington area, they could share administrative staff and justify more advanced technological equipment. Downtown Minneapolis would be a less appealing spot, however.

Anoka has a wonderful facility and is close to agency partner Chisago County, but that would leave much of southern Minnesota far from a medical examiner office.

Ol m st e d C ou nt y, wh ich has contracted with the Mayo Clinic for medical examination services, has talked about a potential partnership, but it still has not replaced its forensic pathologist who abruptly retired in January.

Despite the prestige of Mayo, Thomas’ office is more robust and Houston County bypasses Rochester to use her facility in Hastings.

Ramsey County also has a medical examiner’s office, but it has been plagued by accusations of errors in major cases and its director is on the outs with other medical examiners in the state.

If the collaborative decides to share a facility with Anoka or Hennepin, it might not be cheaper and the counties would lose some control. Distance could also be a

factor for some counties.

Looking at the map of Minnesota, there isn’t a lot of rhyme or reason to the patchwork of counties that partner with this or that medical examiner in the state. Much of it is based on past precedent, personalities and who knows who.

Scott County officials would like to stick with Thomas.

“She doesn’t have that MD mystique,” said Wagner. “She’s very hands-on.” Wagner said the office has good camaraderie and no turnover.

Both the Scott County attorney and sheriff gave her high rankings in a recent meeting with the County Board. “The level of service she provides is astounding,” says Scott County Attorney Pat Ciliberto.

Carver County Attorney Mark Metz said his office is pleased with the service from the Medical Examiner’s Office.

“We’re really happy with their professionalism. They’re very experienced,” Metz said.

“We receive a lot of critical advice and they testify really well.”

Metz said while there is a long-term space issue with the morgue, it’s important to provide the service in a costefficient manner and it’s necessary for all counties involved to agree on a long-range plan.

NOT IMMEDIATE, BUT SOON Thomas would like the counties to reach a decision in the next couple years because it could take a few years for a facility to be constructed.

She knows a move could be the end of her office’s close-knit working environment. It also will mean an extra burden for cash-strapped counties.

“It’s going to cost more than what the counties have been paying,” Thomas said. “It could not be a worse time economically to be talking about this.”

But she knows change must happen — there simply isn’t enough room at Regina to serve the growing counties or attract a chief pathologist when she retires.

Despite her office’s reputation, few candidates will want to assume Thomas’ dual doctor/ administrator role, much less move into a cramped facility.

Wagner knows a better space is required. He hopes the county can continue contracting with Thomas, but would like a facility that is closer to Scott County.

C om m i s sione r B a rb a r a Marschall of Prior Lake, who serves on the county’s justice committee, admits she was surprised by the cost estimates for new construction. But whatever option is chosen, she wants

“The time will come when the decision has to be made because facility they have is just not adequate,” she said.

EDUCATION

Kermes hired as interim head of co-op

Take your car search for a spin.

BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com

The Carver-Scott Educational Cooperative (CSEC) in Chaska will have a familiar face taking over as executive director.

Darren Kermes, director of special education for the cooperative, was hired as interim director to replace retiring executive director Randy Zitterkopf.

Kermes, 45, of Lakeville, is also the executive director of the Minnesota River Valley Special Education Cooperative (MRVSEC) in Jordan.

“I’ve very excited to continue to work with MRVSEC and now work more closely with CarverScott,” Kermes said.

T he C S E C b o a r d i nt er viewed three candidates for the one-year interim position.

Zitterkopf, who retired June 30, had been with the school district three years.

CSEC and MRVSEC have been discussing a merger for more than a year, according to Carver-Scott Board Chair Mary Romansky. They hired John Messelt, a former Minnesota superintendent, to study the benefits of merging the two organizations.

PUBLIC NOTICE FREE HOT DOGS & BRATS

Board members liked Ker mes’ familiarity and knowledge of Carver-Scott.

“With the merger, he has the knowledge of both Carver- Scot t a nd Darren MRVSEC,” RoKermes mansky said.

In addition to special-education services, CSEC offers alternative learning centers, career/ technical education, adult basic education, care and treatment and online learning to students from the Belle Plaine, Chaska, Jordan, New Prague, Norwood Young America, Prior Lake-Savage, Shakopee, Waconia and WatertownMayer school districts.

MRVSEC, a special-education cooperative that serves six Scott County-area school districts, has seen its member districts’ enrollment grow and thus contract fewer services from the special education cooperative, Romansky said.

“What those districts needed 30 years ago is very different in a lot of ways than what they need today,” Kermes said.

All MRVSEC schools — with

the exception of MontgomeryLonsdale School District which just voted to consolidate with Le Center — are already CSEC members. CSEC and MRVSEC already share offices as well as some staff.

“A part of it has to do with just being more efficient in terms of economics, but it also has a lot to do with the effectiveness of programs and what we can collaboratively provide for our clientele and students,” Zitterkopf told the Jordan Independent newspaper last fall.

Ker mes believes t here’s great potential in terms of programming and freeing up economic resources for member school districts.

“I think if we can serve kids as well or better and do it more cost effectively, that is our underlying goal,” he said.

MRVSEC has approximately 100 employees and 150 students attending its programs, though it serves more in home districts. Carver-Scott is about twice as large since it offers additional alternative programs, Kermes said.

Kermes started as interim executive director at MRVSEC in 2006. He has been CSEC’s special education director one year.

Why a home remodel may be better than a savings account

A

re you keeping your home longer than you expected, due to the sluggish and uncertain home resale market? If you are, you’ve got company.

Only 43 percent of homeowners believe they would get their asking price if they sold today, according to the latest American Express Spending & Saving Tracker.

That lack of confidence, coupled with interest rates on personal savings accounts that are at or near record lows, has a lot of homeowners investing in their homes instead of depositing money in their banks.

In fact, nearly two-thirds of homeowners will be remodeling in 2011, says American Express. Improving your home can be a smart strategy over the long run. In the meantime, it can make your home more comfortable and convenient while you’re living there.

Now is the time to ask yourself if putting your hard-earned savings into your house is right for you. You won’t see the return on your investment in the near-term, but when you factor in a quicker sale or higher sale price, you could end up with more

profit than savings account interest rates can provide.

breaking through floors or jackhammering concrete.

Improvements that pay

Unlike conventional gravity plumbing, up-flush systems pump waste and water from toilets, showers, sinks, wet bars and washing machines upward. Small-diameter piping carries the waste into the sewer or septic tank. For more information on this cost-effective plumbing option, visit www. saniflo.com.

Experts recommend that you stick to improvements likely to increase your home’s resale appeal and value. There’s no such thing as a guaranteed return on investment, but some home improvements have a better value track record than others. A basement remodel will recoup 70 percent of its cost at resale, according to the 20102011 Remodeling Magazine Cost vs. Value Report. Adding a bathroom returns more than 53 percent of your investment, while modernizing a kitchen can bring back 72.8 percent.

Build a bath: If you plan to install a bathroom, laundry or wet bar in an area that lacks below-floor plumbing drainage, you can dramatically reduce your installation costs with macerating technology.

Installing drainage in a basement, attic or garage can be messy, time-consuming and expensive. But with macerating, or upflush, technology, you can have plumbing virtually anywhere in your home, without

plan and three months to build, according to the National Kitchen and Bath Association. You can improve the overall look and feel of a kitchen with a lot less work and money simply by refurbishing what you have. Some refurbishing options include refaced cabinets instead of new, resurfaced countertops or an added backsplash, updated flooring and under-cabinet task lighting.

Regardless of the project you plan to undertake, there are a few things you can do to ensure you get the most for your money. Here are some general tips from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI):

Want to make your new bath seem larger?

Let the light in! If a skylight isn’t in the budget, use recessed ceiling lights and large mirrors. Also, choose a warm semi-gloss paint and install 12-inch by 12-inch or larger floor tiles to minimize grout lines.

• Establish a budget:

A walk-in shower is a smart and costeffective space-saver. If you don’t need storage space, a pedestal sink is another good alternative. Two surefire ways to give the illusion of space are a recessed medicine cabinet and a pocket door instead of a traditional hinged door.

• Hire a qualified remodeler who is familiar with local building codes.

• Compare products and prices before you begin.

• Work with a contract.

Millie, a 6-year-old Bichon Frise, is a newly retired puppy mill mama learning the ropes of freedom! She is very mellow and shy, and seems reluctant to show much interest in her surroundings thus far, which is typical for newly liberated puppy mill dogs. Millie still has a long way to go in this respect, but with time and lots of TLC, we’re hoping to help her fi nd the best life yet! Her adoption fee is $ 225, which includes all vaccines, her spay, dental cleaning and micro-chip. If you’d like to help her enjoy her retirement, or want to share your retirement years with her, please consider giving this gal a second chance!

Fundraiser in City Square Park Tony Scherer knows plenty about electronics and how systems work. He knows more about the cancer in his body than he ever wanted.

The Belle Plaine man and his fami ly wi l l soon learn about the generosity of others thanks to a benefit slated for July 23-24 and 30-31, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both weekends. It will be held at City Square Park, between East Third and East Fourth streets, in Chaska. Von Hanson’s Meats will be selling bratwurst, grilling them at the park, and donating proceeds from the sales to the family to help defray the expenses associated with the cost of Scherer’s treatments.

Scherer hasn’t been able to work since May. He’s on shortterm disability.

“We’re trying to help out the family, do the best we can,” said Shelly Thanghe, a Belle Plaine resident and family friend who worked with Shanie Trog, one of the Scherer’s neighbors in planning the fundraiser. “We feel helpless. Every little bit helps.”

Tony Scherer was diagnosed earlier this spring with renal cell carcinoma that metastasized to his lungs. He had surgery June 2 to remove a 4.5 inch tumor on his right kidney, an adrenal gland.

The Miller family, which includes Helen Miller of Chaska, held a family reunion/ Jubilee celebration in Waseca over the Fourth of July weekend. Miller is pictured with her partner Tom Everson, of Chaska, in the second row, eighth and ninth from the left.

The family is reportedly the single birth biological family (from one mother and one father) in the United States.

Largest family The 22-sibling Miller family, including Helen Miller of Chaska, held a reunion/ Jubilee celebration in Waseca over the Fourth of July weekend.

The Miller family is the largest single birth biological family (from one mother and one father) in Minnesota and the United States, according to Helen, the 13th child in the family.

The eldest in the family was born in 1940, and the youngest in 1966, Miller said.

How did the parents keep an eye on everyone? Each child was assigned an older child, Helen said. Every night, her pa rents wou ld pray, sta r ting with “God bless” and run through the entire family.

“It was lots of fun” growing up in a large family, Miller noted. “My siblings are remarkably healthy and positive.”

The 22 children are all alive.

And while her parents, Alvin and Lucille, have passed away, “their ideals and legacy live on,” she said.

The brothers and sisters gathered to celebrate 50th jubilee of their eldest sister, Ramona Miller, as a nun.

The family reunion included more than 100 people in attendance, including one sibling who lives in South Africa.

SALT SALE

STATE CLAMPS DOWN ON DWI’S! Effective July 1, 2011, new legislation passed by Governor Tim Pawlenty strengthens Minnesota DWI laws.

Governor Pawlenty’s new legislation affects DWI offenders with certain aggravating factors. Currently Minnesota law states that a first time DWI offender with an alcohol-concentration of .20 or more is charged with a gross misdemeanor and loses their license for 180 days. The new legislation lowers the alcohol concentration to .16 or more which is twice the legal limit (.08). The license revocation period is extended to one year.

The same is true for a second time DWI offender regardless of their alcohol concentration, their license will be revoked for one year as opposed to 180 days.

Under the new legislation a DWI offender that refuses to submit to a chemical test will lose their license for a period of two years as opposed to the current penalty of one year. The two year revocation period also applies to a second time DWI offender with an alcohol concentration of .16 or more. A person charged with their third DWI in ten years will lose their license for three years which is a leap from the current penalty of a one year cancellation of the driver’s license.

Minnesota DWI penalties are harsh and are only going to get more severe. If convicted, a DWI offender could face large fines and jail time. For over 10 years, Minnesota law makers have successfully fought to strengthen the penalties for DWI offenders. It goes without saying that a DWI charge is something that should be taken seriously and should be handled by consulting with an experienced Minnesota DWI Attorney. Call Richard Swanson at (952) 448-9091 or, after hours at (612) 382-6080.

victoria TOWN SQUARE Harvesting the fruits of artists, musicians and wine-making ArtStock 2011

MCNULTY Living for many years just outside the Napa Valley in California, one of our greatest pleasures was to visit that lovely place in the summer and fall to experience the flavor of the land and its fruits, responsibly, of course!

Taking the drive, arriving at the charming Oakville Grocery Store to stock up for our picnic, and fi nding a winery with picnic benches was our routine. We relaxed under the oak trees and watched the warm breezes play among the grape vines while we picnicked and sipped our favorite chilled gewürztraminer. It was a pure delight.

Now this native Californian is eagerly looking forward to a similar experience right here in Carver County and I am delighted once again! On Aug. 6, the very fi rst ever ArtStock at Parley Lake takes place. The Arts Consortium of Carver County and Parley Lake Winery and Orchards will host this event – at no charge, by the way. Artists working in many mediums share their wares, live music will waft through the trees, and wine will be offered for sampling.

From 2-7 p.m., you, too, are

invited to bring your picnic lunch, beverage of choice, sit under the trees and soak up the beautiful ambience of Parley Lake, its vineyard and orchards. You may want to check out the websites for the Arts Consortium and Parley Lake Winery to get a good idea of what is in store that day— www.artsofcarvercounty.org and www.parleylakewinery. com.

Artistic, musical and literary arts will be featured, along with the art of winemaking. If you’ve been to Parley Lake Winery before, you know what a charming place the Deardorff’s have created in the natural beauty of the countryside. Acres of orchards sit alongside acres of grape vines and Parley Lake. Steve and Deb Zeller partnered with the Deardorffs to create the winery which the

Lenzen’s EVERYTHING REDUCED!

From the street, Jim and Char Sutter’s yard looks like a prototypical suburban yard.

Flowers and shrubs dot the landscape. A pair of yellow fi nches fi ghts over a perch at one of several bird feeders. An American f lag f lies proudly over a miniature cannon complete with miniature cannonballs. (Ok, maybe the cannon isn’t so commonplace).

But a handmade “Welcome come and see” sign next to a lattice arch suggests there is much more to this yard than meets the eye. Just 20 feet in, the yard gives way to steep slope and a stunning vista – a nearly 180-degree view of the Minnesota River and terrace upon terrace of gardens. It’s a sight the Sutters have been working to perfect since they moved to Riverview Terrace more than four decades ago.

The Sutters were among the first to locate on the eastern side of the mobile home park. “I got my pick of the lot,” recalled Jim, who ultimately chose the lot on the southeastern edge of the park.

It’s a choice he’s yet to regret, and a location he believes rivals the best of retirement destinations. “This is total privacy,” he said from a bench overlooking the river where he can occasionally catch a glimpse of ducks, coyotes, deer and bald eagles. “[Long-time city employee] Shirley Bruers once told me ‘This is the nicest lot in all of Chaska – and I know them all,’” he recalled.

Jim and Char Sutter began building gardens behind their house and along the Minnesota River bottoms 41 years ago.

The duo put a basement in and used the sand they displaced to create terraces. Ties procured from the railroad provided the framework for the gardens. Annuals like hydrangeas and lilies provided just some of the decoration.

“It’s nice to create beauty,” said Jim. Over the years, the projects have almost magically multiplied. Jim notes that he seems to have an endless supply of ideas for what they could do next while Char notes that she spends many of her days weeding.

“He keeps fi nding things we could do,” she laughed. “And then he goes golfi ng.”

Down below, where the riv-

er bottoms meet the Sutters’ property, they’ve taken full advantage of the topography by building scenic bridges over the water, installing nest boxes, and even putting in a small dock to access the river.

The Sutters have also added a few conversational pieces including a suit of armor (in memor y of Cha r’s brot her Buck), Thing 12 (a painted piece of driftwood that pays homage to Dr. Seuss), and mulligan man (in honor of Jim’s love of golf).

Near the water’s edge, the Sutters have a f lood marker denoting the largest swells of the Minnesota River since 1965. Jim figures he put up the marker sometime around the

All together, it makes for a yard that neither friends nor neighbors nor grandchildren can resist. And it’s a point of pride for the Sutters who love to share their creations with all of them.

“That’s why we have parties,” said Char.

LEGION BASEBALL

CUBS BASEBALL

One last time together

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

C

haska Post 57 Legion Assistant Coach Scott Gasvoda asked to shake the hands of all 15 players.

The players instead insisted on grouping for a team hug.

For most of the players, July 13 was the fi nal opportunity to play at Athletic Park, and for some, one of the final times playing baseball. Well, at least together.

“I wanted to get a ‘W’ for the rest of the guys. It might be the last time some of these guys play baseball. I just love these guys. We wanted to end on a winning note,” said Kyle Helgestad, one of the vocal leaders of the local Legion baseball team.

Helgestad, along with fellow graduated senior Shane Cotner, played large roles in a 6-4 win over Hutchinson. It was the home fi nale for Post 57.

“I wanted to pitch in this one really bad. I knew it was going to be my last game here,” Cotner said.

For some players, such as Adam Happ, their careers will continue after this summer.

Happ will attend college at St. John’s University and will play baseball next spring. Others, though, knew this summer was there last.

“I don’t plan on playing after this season. We might not have won as many games as we’d like (6-10 overall), but we still had fun. It’s baseball,” Cotner said.

Cotner pitched all seven innings in the victory over Hutchinson, the third time Post 57 defeated the league foe this summer. He allowed eight hits and one earned run with four strikeouts.

Hutchinson got the tying runs on base in the seventh inning, but Cotner got a ground ball to shortstop Patrick Rohe, who flipped it to Happ for the fi nal out.

“I wanted to finish it out.

There was no way I was giving (the tying runs) up,” Cotner said.

Chaska Legion runner Brandon Ploen slides into home plate for the first run in Post 57’s 6-4 win over Hutchinson. Ploen had a key hit in Chaska’s win over Chanhassen July 12. The season came to an end for the local ball club last week. Only the top two teams from the league qualify for the district playoffs.

“I’ve played with these guys my entire life.

We’re out here to have fun. And winning a couple of games feels really good.”

Kyle Helgestad Chaska Legion player right-field corner. Hutchinson tied it up the next inning, but Zach Schuler gave Post 57 the lead for good with a RBI-single in the third inning.

A passed ball and sacrifice fly gave Chaska the 6-3 lead in the fourth inning. Hutchinson had chances in the fi fth and sixth innings, but both times Chaska recorded putouts on base runners attempting to advance extra bases.

Gerber had a pair of doubles, while Jimmy Quinn and

Schuler each had two hits.

The victory came on the heels of a 9 -5 victory over rival Chanhassen July 12. A day after dropping a game to Chanhassen, Chaska scored the fi nal seven runs to hand Post 580 its third league loss of the summer.

Chaska scored three runs in the fi fth inning to tie the score on hits from Brandon Ploen and Cole Sweeney. Post 57 took the lead for good with a trio of runs in the sixth inning

– all unearned. Gerber added an insurance run with a RBIsingle in the seventh inning.

After struggling the week before with a 1-5 record, the Chaska players a nd Head Coach Jef f Pierce wa nted to end the season on a high note.

“We’re not going to the playoffs, so it was pretty much for pride,” Cotner said.

“You play for dignity. When you step on the field, you give 100 percent all of the time. No matter what the situation is,” Helgestad said. “I’ve played with these guys my entire life.

We’re out here to have fun.

And winning a couple of games feels really good.”

Chaska was to close out the season with a pair of games in Sleepy Eye Saturday, but rain canceled the season fi nale.

On June 25, Chaska sat with a record of 11-7 following a doubleheader defeat to Minnetonka and Prescott, Wis. Almost a month later, the Cubs are among the hottest teams in the state, having posted 10 straight wins.

The names of the defeated are impressive. They are Victoria, Jordan, Prior Lake, Rochester, Austin, Belle Plaine, New Ulm Kaiserhoff and the Saint Paul Capitals. Ten victories – eight over fellow Class B teams.

Chaska improved to 21-7 on the summer Monday with a rescheduled 15-0 win over New Ulm Kaiserhoff. Kyle Geason, who recently returned from playing in Alaska, was 4-for-5 with two doubles, three runs scored and three runs batted in.

Cory Poppitz, Cory Glieden, Adam Happ, Justin Johnson and Josh Korth also had multihit games. Chaska outhit the Kaiserhoff 17-3 for the game.

Griff Kilber pitched all seven innings, giving up three hits. The Cubs staked the tall left-hander to an early 11-0 lead through three innings.

The week began with a thrilling 3-2 win over the Austin Greyhounds July 12. The game was tied into the ninth inning when the Cubs loaded the bases and Happ scored on a fielder’s choice by Tony Lane, beating the throw to home.

Korth and Johnson combined for five of the team’s eight hits. Kilber pitched 7 2/3 innings, scattering 10 hits. Pete Ohnsorg pitched the fi nal four outs for the win.

Ryan Seifert and Chaska completed a home-and-home sweep over Prior Lake on Sunday, taking the second game in eight days with the Jays 7-4. Seifert held Prior Lake scoreless July 10 and was dominant again despite the heat, which saw two Jays exit the game early on.

The Cubs jumped out to a 3-0 lead through three innings.

Eric Oscarson knocked in the fi rst run with a one-out single in the second inning before Tyler Polster put Chaska up 2-0 on a bloop single in the third.

DANCE TEAM

Individual skills improve at dance team camp

BY VICKI BONT

The Chaska High School Dance Team returned bedazzled with medals and a trophy Wednesday (July 13) from its annual training camp in Redwood Falls with 26 other teams.

The CHS squad found a way to top past legendary teams by improving in the individual skills competition.

“One of su m mer c a mp’s purposes is for our team to get to know each other and have fun doing it. We added 23 new girls to the team to make 58 at camp,” said second-year co-captain, senior Jackie Schneider.

She added, “We are not like other sports, but stay together until, hopefully, the state meet in mid-February and need to work close together.”

Chaska also had to prove themselves to new 2A rivals during camp competitions. After competing six out of seven years in the Class AAA State Meet, the Hawks were moved into the equally demanding Class AA division due to smaller school enrollment size. Past state champions Benilde-St. Margaret and Marshall were at camp, along with conference foe Northfield.

Right away on the fi rst day, 17 teams went for the Home Routine Trophy.

“In this competition, each team showcased their veteran varsity dancers. We kept it fun with a Lady Gaga mix and accessories, and we took third, but we were behind Marshall,” said co-captain, senior Kara Notvedt.

Schneider and senior Alyson Pulvermacher made the fi nals

myself again this year. I went to ‘Boot Camp’ with Coach Kelli Hagerty and practiced with Sammi White,” said Stone.

She kept up her technique, style, and interpretation of the choreography throughout camp and earned the Most Outstanding Dancer Award.

in leaps, junior Rachel Bradley made the fi nals in toe-touches, junior Cortnie Slark was third in the turns’ fi nals, and for the second year in a row, senior Casey Stone won high kick with junior Sammi White also in the fi nals.

“I pushed harder to prove

Meanwhile, Schneider captured the camp’s top award.

Given to only four dancers out of the 730 present, the Heather Haybeck Award is given to the best dancer with the most team spirit.

The Chaska Hawks weren’t finished collecting accolades

yet.

“We really go after the Most Spirited Team trophy because all things we do are a way to connect on so many levels and built confidence in the team. It was an honor to win, and what we look forward to the most,” said Notvedt.

U15 SOCCER

CC United headed to state The Chanhassen/Chaska United U15 C3 boys’ team has qualified for the state soccer tournament July 23-27 in Lakeland. During the past weekend, the team was faced with lightning and torrential rains, which postponed the fi rst game and turned the fields into swamplands. After the rain came the heat as CC United faced heat in the 108 degree range that shortened games and made play difficult.

I n t hei r f i r st g a me, C C United faced West Tonka. The local team went up 2-0 in the first half, but the team from West Tonka proved resilient a n d c a m e b ac k t o t ie t h e game. A fter a pair of five mi nute over ti me sessions, t he g a me went t o p en a lt y kicks. CC United goalkeeper

Tyler Lindberg proved strong and the penalty kick shooters were accurate as the CC United team put three in the net, whi le the West Tonka team scored zero.

In the second game of the day, the team faced Golden Valley. Again, the team went up 2-0, but Golden Valley fought back, tying the game with just minutes left in reg ulation.

Each team scored once in the overtimes, but the score remained tied, again sending the game into penalty kicks.

CC United scored on all four penalty kicks, while the Golden Valley team managed two.

That victory sent CC United into the league championship game where the team faced regular season league winners, Hopkins. With the game

scoreless after one half, Hopkins took the lead early in the second stanza. It lasted until the fi nal minutes of regulation as CC United rallied and tied the game, again sending the contest into overtime.

After 10 minutes of overtime, the game remained a stalemate, thus sending the third game into penalty kicks.

After the standard five kicks per team, the score was still tied, with each team with four good kicks. In sudden death, CC United scored, while Lindberg made the save to give the team the championship and a place in the state tournament.

The Minnesota Youth Soccer Association summer state tournament begins Saturday at Lucy Winton Bell Complex in Lakeland near Stillwater.

Carver County's basic financial statements consists of three parts: government-wide financial statements, fund financial statements, and notes to the financial statements. The management's discussion and analysis and certain budgetary comparison schedules are required to accompany the basic financial statements, and therefore, are included as required supplementary information.

Government-wide financial statements display information about the County's financial reporting entity as a whole, except for its fiduciary activities. These statements should present separate information for the governmental and business-type activities of the County (primary government), as well as for its component units.

Fund financial statements display separate financial information for the County's governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds. Information for governmental and enterprise proprietary funds is presented separately for major funds and the aggregate total for nonmajor funds. Internal services and fiduciary fund information is present in aggregate by fund type.

Notes to the financial statements provides additional information and disclosure for information in the financial statements.

Governmental activities are generally activities of the County financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange revenues. These activities are usually reported in governmental funds and internal service funds.

Financial reporting entity consists of the primary government (County), organizations for which the County is financially accountable , and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the County are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The nucleus of a County's financial reporting entity is the primary government, the County.

Primary government is a term used in connection with defining the financial reporting entity.

The primary government is the focus of the financial reporting entity. For the County, the primary government represents the financial activities, funds, or accounts directly under the control of the County board.

Component unit describes a legally separate organization for which the County board is financially accountable. In addition, component units can be other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the County are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.

County Governmental Fund Type The General fund is the general operating fund of the County. It is used to account for all financial resources except those that are required to be accounted for in another fund.

Special Revenue funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted for specified purposes.

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because: Issuance costs are recorded as expenditures in the current period in the governmental funds.

Under full accrual, issuance costs are recorded as deferred charges and amortized over the life of the debt.

Due to availability, certain revenues are not recognized under the governmental fund statements until received; however, under full accrual in the government-wide Statement of Activities, revenues are recorded when earned regardless of when received.

Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. Further detail on increases/decreases can be found in the note on capital assets. (Increases include donations of capital assets and Construction in Progress that is reclassified.)

Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of property & liability insurance to individual funds. The assets and liabilities of the internal service fund are included in governmental activities in the statement of net assets.

The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets.

Further detail on the additions and reductions can be found in the note on long-term debt.

Additions to long-term debt (reduces governmental fund balances) Reductions to long-term debt (increases governmental fund balances)

Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable and compensated absences, are not payable with current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported in governmental funds.

Interest on long-term debt in the Statement of Activities differs from the amount reported in the governmental funds because interest is recognized as an expenditure in the funds when it is due, and thus requires the use of current financial resources. In the Statement of Activities, however, interest expense is recognized as the interest accrues, regardless of when it is due.

(8,528)

Net pension obligation activity is not recognized in the Governmental Funds but recognized as the expense/revenue is incurred in the Statement of Activities.

County Board of Appeal and Equalization June 20, 2011 The County Board of Appeal and Equalization met this day as required by law. Present were Board members: Randy Maluchnik, Chair, Tim Lynch, Vice Chair, Gayle Degler, James Ische, Tom Workman and Taxpayer Services Manager, Laurie Engelen.

Angie Johnson, County Assessor, introduced the appraisers in her office and the areas they assessed. She reviewed the number of residential sales this past year and number of new homes built.

David Preves, PID #25.2300030, stated he purchased this property seven years ago and during a time when there were bidding wars for homes on Lotus Lake. He believed lakeshore lots were going down and not up and, based on comparables, suggested his value was $100,000 too high. He referenced his 2009 appraisal and stated real estate has been going down since that time. Preves stated values were inequitable and inconsistent. He added his property taxes were significantly higher than neighboring properties having equal or more valuable homes.

Richard Berland, PID #25.830020 and 25.830070, stated his property had always been fully permitted and inspected and pointed out the final inspection that showed a finished lower level. He questioned the current assessor’s statement that the house had previously been undervalued due to a previous assessor not including the finish lower level.

He questioned the value increase and believed that real estate prices have gone down.

The Board recessed at 6:03 p.m. to allow for any additional appeals.

Receiving no additional appeals the Board reconvened at 6:52 p.m.

Ische moved, Degler seconded, to set the value on PID #25.2300030, David Preves, at $899,800. Motion carried unanimously.

Ische moved, Lynch seconded, to set the value on PID #25.8300020 and 25.8300070, at $800,000. Motion carried unanimously.

Degler moved, Workman seconded, to adjourn at 7:01 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.

NKOTBSB: When boy bands collide

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

New Kids on the Block (NKOTB)

I

t was the summer of 2010 when a video of the Backstreet Boys making a surprise appearance at a New Kids on the Block concert in New York City began to circulate on the Internet showing the best of ’90s pop colliding with the best of new millennium pop all on one stage.

Members: Jonathan Knight, Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood Heyday: Late 1980s/early 1990s (The group disbanded in 1994, reuniting in 2007)

Most assumed the pairing was a one-night-only affair, but a year later, the two groups have mashed their acronyms together into one big, beautiful NKOTBSB and are on the road touring the U.S. and Canada.

The nine-member group rolled into Minneapolis to play to a full Target Center crowd of 15,000 last Friday night. Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell took some time before the Minneapolis show to answer a few questions about the tour.

Q. What’s it like to be among the hottest concert tickets this summer?

A. Man, you know, it’s a blessing.

It’s a huge blessing. Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block have worked hard for it. It’s a blessing to go out and fill the seats and do something that we love.

Q. If someone had told you guys back in the Millennium Tour that you would be joining forces with New Kids on the Block, would you have believed that?

A. Maybe not during the Millennium tour, but it’s funny, this whole idea has been talked about for years… We had the same manager – Johnny Wright – he doesn’t manage us anymore, but he used to be the road manager/tour manager for New Kids years ago when they were just larger than life – no pun intended.

My answer to you then would have been ‘No way, no way,’ but I think there’s a time and place for everything. I think it worked out.

Interviews I’ve done in the past have said, ‘So the next tour’s going to be Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC?’ and my one word answer is ‘No.’ Any other combination I can honestly tell you I don’t think would have worked as well as this worked.

Q. What kind of physical toll has this tour taken on you?

Signature songs: Hangin’ Tough, Step By Step, You’ve Got It (The Right Stuff )

Backstreet Boys (BSB) Members: Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, A.J. McLean (Kevin Richardson left the group in 2006) Heyday: Late 1990s/early 2000s Signature songs: I Want It That Way, Larger Than Life, Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)

“‘Cause just when I think we’re through/ The memories come flooding back/It’s like instantly I love you like that/I was on fire for you/We can get it back again/If you don’t say it’s the end, the end.”

NKOTBSB “Don’t Turn Out The Lights”

A. It’s a little harder at 36 years old. My knees hurt. We go out there and go hard every night. Being older doesn’t make it easier, but I think we’re like fine wine. We’re aging well.”

A two-forone special

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

As a girl who grew up worshipping the New Kids on the Block and later fell even harder for the Backstreet Boys, having my two favorite boy bands on one bill Friday night was a dream come true (both musically and financially). And I was hardly the only one who thought so.

FILE PHOTO BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO The super group Brian Littrell spent two and a half hours delighting the multi-generational (and heavily female) Target Center crowd with tight harmonies, trademark choreography and a show packed with fan favorites (including several shots of Donnie Wahlberg’s abs).

NKOTBSB opened with a mash up of the New Kids’ “Single” and Backstreet’s “The One” remixed to Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida.”

From there, the groups traded off the stage on the next six songs (including mega hits “You Got It (The Right Stuff)” and “Larger Than Life”) before each performed a couple extended sets and multiple costume changes.

All of the signature tunes were present in the 30-plus song set, from Backstreet’s “Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)” and “I Want It That Way” to New Kids’ “Cover Girl” and “I’ll Be Loving You Forever.”

But there were also a few unexpected treats in the NKOTBSB bag of tricks. The Backstreet Boys dusted off “10,000 Promises” from one of their first overseas albums to surprise their diehard fans while the New Kids pulled out the “Step By Step” B-side “Valentine Girl.”

Both groups came together to close the show with their joint single “Don’t Turn Out The Lights” before reappearing for an encore of “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” and “Hangin’ Tough” and a blast of pyrotechnics.

From the front row to the last row, the crowd lapped it all up, leaving happily stuffed with the nostalgia of musical decades past.

The life of a ‘Roadshow’ roadie Behind the scenes at a PBS classic “Antiques Roadshow” visited Minnesota earlier this month.

If you haven’t seen the program, there’s a chance that, like actor Billy Bob Thornton, you have a fear of antiques.

Or maybe you avoid PBS due to all those Lawrence Welk retrospectives and sketchy 1970s British comedies. (Unless BBC is torturing Brits with “Three’s Company” on an endless loop, why am I forever subjected to “Are You Being Served?”)

Here’s the gist of “Antiques Roadshow”: People bring in a puzzling object and an appraiser tells them it’s worth lots of cash … or nothing at all. Cheers, tears ensue.

The show travels from city to city solving these small mysteries.

I’m not a big fan of reality television, but I am a big fan of PBS reality television, which over the years has included such gems as “Colonial House,” “African American Lives,” “History Detectives,” “Time Team America,” and, my favorite, “Antiques Roadshow.”

After posting an “Antiques Roadshow” rant on chaskaherald.com (see related story), Executive Producer Marsha Bemko invited me down to the Minneapolis Convention Center on July 9 to get the scoop.

THE ROADSHOW Here a few things I learned: The set looks like a Red Cross hurricane relief center.

Before being sent to appraisers, hordes of people shuffle their way through a long line while lugging their most valuable belongings stuffed into bags and boxes and suitcases. Their destination? A stop referred to as “triage,” a term usually reserved for over-capacity emergency rooms.

Given the strange items (half a model ship?) the crowd may have just looted a “Ripley’s Believe it or Not” museum. A volunteer had noted that she had already seen seven spinning wheels that morning.

There are other “Roadshow” geeks like me in Minnesota.

Lots and lots of geeks.

“Minnesota loves us,” Bemko told me. In fact, 35,582 people applied for tickets in Minnesota – as opposed to only 5,349 in El Paso.

About 3,000 received a pair of tickets. And only about 50 of those thousands of appraisals will be televised, which means you had a slim chance of seeing yourself on the show.

When asked what all

Mark

OLSON EDITOR

these fans should be called, a volunteer suggested “Roadies.”

Some of the geeks are famous.

Kevin Bacon recorded a promotion for the show and Lady Gaga has expressed her love of the original British series.

However, even famous Minnesotans are geeks over “Antiques Roadshow.”

Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Alan Page, a collector of Jim Crow-era historical items, was just wrapping up a televised appraisal when I arrived. He brought an 1865 banner mourning the death of Abraham Lincoln.

Nice banner, but come on Justice Page! How about bringing your 1976 Vikings game jersey. Leila Dunbar would have freaked out.

Even off camera, appraisers are good.

“Sputnik era contemporary bank, not a copy,” noted toy appraiser Noel Barrett before telling a man it was worth $75. “Dick Tracy gun – cap gun and die cast, post WWII – $120,” he told another woman.

Many of the appraisers had an iPad or laptop handy for consultation and, according to Benko, will call or text a photo to fellow appraisers if they don’t know enough about an object. They also have a small library backstage, with reference books.

However, most appear to know the stuff off the top of their head.

The best example was Rafael Eledge, who appraises many of the Civil War items.

A woman came in with a “button charm strand” found in an attic. After scanning through hundreds of buttons, Eledge told her he had good news and bad news.

The bad news was that most of the buttons were worthless.

The good news was a few of the not-so-worthless military buttons. He popped them off: $50 artillery button; $20 navy button; and, the rarest of the buttons, from a Mississippi Confederate uniform, valued at $1,000. “That is a great, great button,” Eledge told the woman.

When asked how the heck he knew what button was what, Eledge replied that, when he was young, he collected the $1 and $2 buttons he could afford and “worked his way up.” The process took “several years,” he said.

Jewelry appraiser Kevin Zavian is a funny guy.

“Antiques Roadshow” airs on tpt2 at 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Mondays.

Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Alan Page and his wife, Diane, brought items in to be appraised. Page’s banner was used following Abraham Lincoln’s death.

After I asked how he could see anything at the end of the day, after hours of viewing jewelry through magnifying glasses, Zavian went into a five-minute riff on how he sometimes use a loop to read prescriptions on bottles and a tiny light to read menus.

Appraisers don’t get

paid.

And they pay their own expenses, such as airfare, Bemko said. Apparently, they do it for the publicity.

There are not enough fakes.

I made this complaint in my blog, and Bemko agreed, saying that she’s asked staff

to “pitch” her a segment if they find a fake. “I wish we’d find more fakes or repros,” she said, adding that perhaps over the years show has educated people about what’s the real deal. (Note to self, pitch: “Real Deal?” show to PBS.) Apparently there

are lessons to Antiques Roadshow.

One of the show’s biggest lessons? “Understand what you own,” Bemko said. The other lesson? “You can’t help but learn something about the country when you watch this show,” Bemko said.

It’s hard to focus when you’re on the set of your favorite show.

As a result, here are a few questions I forgot to ask Benko: Do you ever get the Keno brothers mixed up? How do you tell them apart?

Have you ever had to bail an appraiser out of jail the morning of a show?

Does “Hey, I’m an appraiser for ‘Antiques Roadshow’ work as a pick-up line, or when making table reservations?

What appraiser has the biggest collection of bowties?

I’ll have to wait until the next time “Antiques Roadshow” comes to town to get answers.

The July 9 Minnesota visit will air sometime between January and May 2012.

There’s at least one big find – a diamond ring valued at about $150,000.

How much is an ‘Antiques Roadshow’ rant worth?

BY MARK OLSON editor@chaskaherald.com

“Antiques Roadshow” landed at the Minneapolis Convention Center earlier this month.

As a geek who likes history and old stuff, this PBS show remains my favorite.

There are plenty of imitators, but other similar “reality” shows, such as “Pawn Stars” and “Storage Wars” are too mean-spirited.

“American Pickers” can be fun, but it’s often redundant.

“Antiques Roadshow” remains the champ of “What is it worth?” shows.

However, there are a few things that irk me about “Antiques Roadshow,” and since its producers and appraisers were in Minnesota, it’s the perfect opportunity to unleash my “Roadshow” rant.

1. Owners that don’t shut up about their object.

You know the person – the one who goes on and on about how much they know about whatever it is they’re bringing in.

If you know so much, why did you go through the trouble to sign up for the show and transport the object hundreds of miles

to be appraised? Are you in kindergarten? Is this show and tell?

Shut up and let the appraisers tell YOU about the object. Have you spent the last 40 years of your life working at an auction house and studying glassware or colonial furniture?

I didn’t think so.

2. Considering “Google” research.

When asked what you know about an object, don’t say you “Did some research online.” Typing “pewter mug” into a search engine doesn’t make you a researcher.

3. Lofty provenance.

Instead of saying “This object was given to my greatgreat-great-whatever by fillin-the-blank famous person,” precede your comment with “Family lore says that this was … .”

If you’re insistent that your Revolutionary War sword was handed down from George Washington, you’re just going to look like an idiot when you’re told it’s a plastic Bicentennial letter opener.

4. Showing no emotion after being told an object is worth $750,000.

You know who they are – the old stoic men who can’t show any emotion, even

though the appraiser just told them their object will set them up for the rest of their retirement years.

Play it up for the television.

For goodness sakes, even the people in the “Feedback Booth” are happy about their $5 tacky trinket.

For a good idea of how to respond, check out “Vie” – the lady in Madison who found out her angry Frank Sinatra letter to columnist Mike Royko was worth $15,000.

5. Short appraisals on objects worth more than $10,000.

Really? The object is that valuable and they don’t deserve their own segment?

I always want to know more about those items.

Delegating them to cardboard tables in the hallways of the convention center for a 15-second spot between the big appraisals doesn’t cut it.

6. More forgeries.

In the early years the show seemed to feature fakes all the time. There’s nothing better than the expression on a know-it-all’s face after being told his object’s a fake.

It’s now a kinder, gentler “Roadshow.” Now forgeries are only included occasionally to “educate” the public.

Wes Cowan appraises an album full of mid-1800s photographs, including a photograph of John Wilkes Booth.

7. Less refinishing.

Why did you even bring in a refinished piece of furniture? Do you want to look like an idiot on national television?

On second thought, keep bringing it in.

8. More about the appraisers.

Who are these goofballs?

Give me a little more insight

into their personalities. I want to see behind the curtain.

Does J. Michael Flanagan throw down on the Keno brothers? Does Noel Barrett’s love of toys hide a heartbreaking childhood?

Is that Rafael Eledge’s real accent? Are Barney Miller’s Hal Linden and jewelry appraiser Kevin Zavian the same person?

9. Follow-ups What happens to the people who find out they have a treasure – I want to know!

For instance: What happens when that neighbor found out he gave someone a $500,000 painting for mowing their lawn.

How about the sibling who chose a piece of crap item from a family estate when his sister chose a priceless writing desk. What are family reunions like after that?

Where do you hang a Dürer print after you find out it’s an original? Is it still used as a placemat?
