Fair deal for annual county celebration

BY RICHARD CRAWFORD editor@chanvillager.com

When the “100th Carver County Fair” opens next week, organizers hope residents come from far and wide to take part in the annual celebration.

The gate revenues are critical to the fi nancial health of the fair, which is operated independently from county government. The Carver Agricultural Society owns the fairgrounds in Waconia and the fair is overseen by an independent Fair Board.

Mike Jensen, manager of the fair, says the $6 admission fee is still one of the best deals around.

“We’ve tried really hard not to increase ticket prices and the cost to participate for patrons, exhibitors and concessions,” said Jensen.

Gate admission was $4 in 2004, Jensen recalled. It increased to $5 several years ago. This will be the second year at $6.

“It’s still cheap for the amount of entertainment you get,” he said.

The Fair Board has had to explore new ways to make ends meet, in part, because in a reduction in the amount of fi nancial sup-port it has received from Carver County government.

As the economy has prompted the county to trim expenses, the amount

Historic rail line soon to be history Workers continue removing track

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

It was once a bustling hub of transportation for the area, but now remnants of the railroad line between Carver and Chaska are slowly disappearing.

Chaska’s former depot no longer sells tickets out of town, but instead offers up wine and ice cream. And the downtown rail itself has been dismantled in recent weeks, leaving behind a gravel bed and piles of scrap metal.

In Carver, the story is much the same. The depot is long gone. Piece by piece, the bridge notorious for causing log jams on the Minnesota River is be-

ing dismantled.

The water tower that used to fi ll the steam engines is one of the few historic monuments left to point people to the railroad’s past. However, following lobbying from Carver history enthusiast John von Walter, on Monday night the Carver City Council made a move to save a 141-year-old railroad

Carver has lost an institution.

Postmaster Peggy Longhenry retired from the Carver Post Office last Friday after serving at the branch for 37 years.

from school, Longhenry noted.

Longhenry said she’ll miss these people. “Some people you see almost every day,” she noted.

She will miss the variety. “No day is the same,” she said.

And she’ll also miss the challenges that come with the job.

There were the small puzzlers like deciphering butchered name and street spellings. Or delivering a letter addressed only to Carver and “Grandma and Grandpa” (Mission accomplished – she recognized the return address.)

Then there were the hefty

of annual support given to the fair has declined from $110,000 in 2008 to under $55,000 this year.

In the past, the county’s annual contribution has been primarily used for capital improvements at the fairgrounds,

including an updated grandstand and buildings that house displays during the fair.

Carver County Commissioner Jim Ische, of Norwood Young America, serves as a liaison to the Fair Board. He said organizations such as the Fair Board, the county historical society and the county library system provide a lot of value to the community.

But in the current economy, budgets need tightening. The County Board plans to trim assistance further in 2012, Ische said.

Ische said he is a strong supporter of 4-H programs, which are showcased at the fair, and noted that the fairgrounds are also used for a variety of shows and activities throughout the year.

Prague in 1980. She served at several different offices, before arriving in Chaska in July 1998 to serve as the city’s postmaster.

She retired Wednesday after a 31-year career in the Postal Service.

In five days, with the retiring of Carver Postmaster Peggy Longhenry (see related story), Carver and Chaska have lost a total of 68 years of Postal Service experience. Denise Beutow, of Cologne is now serving as officer in charge at the Chaska office until a new postmaster is chosen. Coincidently, Beutow’s sister, Denita Walley, is now serving as officer in charge of the Carver branch.

The downtown branch works with bulk mailings and retail services, such as mailing packages and selling stamps, while Chaska’s carriers for the town’s

But as county financial aid has been reduced, more of the burden for maintaining the facilities and grounds has shifted to the Fair Board, Jensen explained.

The Fair Board has worked on getting more creative with marketing the fair and has also focused on enlisting business sponsor-ships to help fi ll budget gaps.

19 postal routes are based out of Chanhassen.

RETAIL AND BULK Swanson, who lives in Delano with her husband, Bill, said she will miss “the people and the variety.”

“People around here are friendly. As a smaller town, you get to know them.”

She’s seen people mail everything – hockey sticks, tires, a car bumper, golf clubs, bees and crickets (“I don’t know what they feed them to,” she said).

One man mails pigeons on a regular basis.

“It’s a unique place to work.

[There’s] a lot behind the scenes people don’t see,” Swanson said.

But, perhaps one of the biggest fi nancial keys to making the fair work is Mother Nature. Good weather translates to good attendance during the fair. When the weather is nice, close to 100,000 people typically come through the gates. In 2008, when it rained throughout the fair, attendance was off dramatically, Jensen said.

There’s a good chance Longhenry, a Carver resident herself, knows most of them.

“She’s extremely nice all the time and she knows everybody.

I moved into town in 1995 and that was back when the town was 500 to 700 people, so the very first time I walked into the Post Office, she knew who I was because I was new,” said Carver resident Linda Schutz.

Those who live within a quarter mile from Carver’s small downtown Post Office still need to pick up their mail at a P.O. Box, so it still provides small-town coziness.

“She’s been great,” said Vic Tompkins, stopping by on Friday morning to pick up his mail. He noted all the work Longhenry did forwarding mail from one home to another as he was moving.

Schutz recalled how Longhenry helped her mail packages to her son, serving in the military in Afghanistan; and how she dug a tax return out the bottom of the postal bin, when Schutz realized she had forgotten to include an important document.

“Peggy doesn’t just sit at a government run postal counter and say ‘How can I help you?’

She remembers everyone and their families. The next question she asks ‘How is your family? How is your son doing in Afghanistan? Did your daughter graduate from college yet? Did you hear that so and so is sick?’

She truly engages not only in her job, but the personal lives of those she serves. That is what makes her unforgettable and cherished by all,” Schutz said.

“She’s one of the most lovely people I’ve ever known.”

Schutz learned Longhenry was retiring the day before she left. “She just didn’t want any fanfare – and that is so Peggy.

She didn’t want to be noticed.”

Schutz hurried to downtown businesses and people on the street to collect contributions for flowers, gift certificates and a card to give Longhenry before retirement.

They gave money without hesitation, Schutz said.

W hen Longhenry leaves, Chaska resident Denita Walley, who currently serves at the Spring Park Post Office, will begin duties as the officer in charge of the Carver branch.

Meanwhile, Longhenry is already making retirement plans.

She has a good advisor. Her husband, Lou, retired a few years ago as postmaster of Henderson – located just upstream on the Minnesota River. Lou asked his wife, “Are you sure you want to retire?” Longhenry recalled.

Wit h mor e s p a r e t i me , Longhenry plans to spend more time on her creative hobbies, such as quilting.

A couple of Longhenry’s embroidery samples hang on the Post Office wall, including a rendering of a 22 cent “Love” stamp. (Longhenry couldn’t quite recall when they issued that particular postage.)

In her retirement, Longhenry also plans to take a florist class, and work as a florist part-time.

Then there was the most important part-time job of all.

Immediately after leaving the Post Office at 11:30 a.m., she was reporting for grandson babysitting duties.

A few years ago, with a budget crunch at the Post Office, Swanson took it upon herself to purchase and lay wood chips around the Post Office plants and shrubs, which were being crowded out by weeds. “My house wouldn’t look like this.

The workplace shouldn’t look like this – especially a government building,” Swanson reasoned.

She hopes to be doing more gardening – one of her favorite hobbies – at her home “up north.” She also likes to fi sh, snowshoe, kayak. “I like to be outside,” she said.

Chaske Cikala Wacipi returns

BY MARK W. OLSON editor@chaskaherald.com

Chaske Cikala Wacipi, or “Little Dance in Chaska” is returning to town Aug. 20-21.

The event, commonly called a “Pow Wow,” includes American Indian music, dancing and food.

This year, the Pow Wow has expanded from one day to two days. Chaska resident Walt Rippliger, who is of Lakota heritage, is organizing the Wacipi. “Any contribution to the effort would be greatly appreciated,” said Ripplinger, who is rounding up donations and volunteers.

It ’s t he t h i r d Pow Wow since the town was founded.

Ripplinger said. “I think it’s important to not only native people, but to pig menta l ly challenged people,” joked Ripplinger.

A Pow Wow is not only a dance, but a “healing” ceremony, said Rippliger. “A Pow Wow is a prayer in motion.”

Rippliger anticipates more than 60 American Indian dancers, as well as 20 dancers from the popular Aztec dance group

Chaske Cikala Wacipi What: An American Indian celebration of music, dance and food.

When: Grand entrees are at 1 p.m. & 5 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 20; and 1 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 21 Cost: Event is free, donations welcome Where: McKnight Park, west of Jonathan Elementary School along Pioneer Trail.

Charge dropped against gym teacher

BY MARK W. OLSON editor@chaskaherald.com

A disorderly conduct charge has been dropped against Chaska Middle School East teacher John Saindon.

Saindon’s attorney Sarah MacGillis said Saindon looks forward to coaching and teaching.

Saindon, a Victoria resident who has taught in District 112 for 18 years, had been accused of grabbing a sixth-grader’s arm at the school after the student misbehaved in gym class. The student “sustained a reddish bruise/mark” on his arm as a result, the original complaint stated.

He was charged by citation on May 26. According to the Carver County Attorney’s Office, MacGillis had asked for a formal complaint.

On July 27, Assistant Carver County Attorney Peter Ivy sent a letter to MacGillis outlining reasons for dropping the charge.

“Because your client’s alleged overreaction, particularly as the adult in a position of authority, caused fear or

anxiety to the other children in the gym, I believe the police had probable cause to issue the citation for disorderly conduct pursuant to [Minnesota Statute],” Ivy stated.

However, Ivy wrote, based on his legal training, the facts and context “do not establish a reasonable likelihood of a conviction before a jury based on proof beyond a reasonable doubt to a unanimous jury.

Therefore, I am declining to issue a formal complaint and the matter is therefore dismissed as matter of law.”

Ivy explained his logic in four points: Many commenters to online stories about the case noted discipline they received in school, which “rectified the errant behavior, they now note approvingly.” Many jurists would share similar opinions, Ivy said.

The Minnesota Department of Education has already initiated an investigation and the school district and MDE “are the optimum channels to address these performance concerns …”

The police report indicates

the client expressed remorse and that the parents do not want charges fi led.

“This embarrassing media coverage has already adversely impacted your client’s reputation as a teacher. Such media coverage served as a bigger deterrent than any misdemeanor fi ne or probation ever could.”

The incident is being investigated by both District 112 and the Minnesota Department of Education.

The District 112 investigation was pending, as of last week. “We’re waiting to hear from the Department of Education,” said District 112 Administrative Services Director Dr. Jim O’Connell.

MacGillis said Saindon had not received any notice from the Department of Education investigation. If he does, she said she will represent him in that venue as well – where she also expects success.

MacGillis said Saindon received an outpouring of support from current and past students, as well as parents and colleagues, asking if they could help him in the legal proceedings.

Two ace our quiz Perhaps it was the muggy temps that melted brains and made quiztaking unbearable.

Maybe it was the Stephen Hawking intellect needed to decipher the questions.

For whatever reason, only 15 braved a shot at this year’s River City Days quiz – down from 35 last year.

And only two aced it.

Emma Larson and Sharon Mitchell, both of Chaska, get bragging rights. (Nice job!) Of those two, Mitchell won the drawing and received two Saint Paul Saints tickets.

Here is the River City Days key, with the articles that contained the answers.

1. Chaska High School graduates Sean Bloomfield and Colton Witte are living of the land in Montana for a month. What previous extreme adventure are they known for?

B. Canoeing from Chaska to the Hudson Bay (July 14, “Into the Wild”) 2. Where is a local art group hanging giant quilt paintings?

B. Barns (July 14, “Brushes, not needles, bring these quilts to life”) 3. What is Herald reporter Mollee Francisco’s favorite band in the whole wide world?

D. Backstreet Boys Wow. This was the deal breaker for most readers. Eleven got this wrong. As noted in the July 21 column “NKOTBSB: When boy bands collide,” the Backstreet Boys was the boy band young Mollee fell in love with.

Don’t feel bad. At least you don’t have to cope with her obsession on a daily basis.

4. What is the name of Hazeltine National Golf Club’s new statue?

C. “Walking Man” (“Hazeltine unveils its ‘Walking Man,’” July 14) Although I would like to see a statue of “Dave Hill’s Lament.”

GUEST COMMENTARY

Pay back community, leave legacy

BY BOB GOLBERG

After reading stories about state budget cuts affecting thousands of Minnesota lives, I then read an article about a donor named Grace Groner, who passed Bob away at age 100 and Golberg left her entire $7 million estate as a gift to her alma mater, Lake Forest College.

Her gift will enable many of Lake Forest’s 1300 students to pursue internships and participate in study-abroad programs they otherwise might have had to forgo.

It will be an extraordinary memorial to a woman whose life was a testament to the higher possibilities of wealth. But the study and internship programs are not the end of Groner’s legacy. She left her small house to the college too. It will be turned into living quarters for women who receive Foundation scholarships, and perhaps something more: An enduring symbol that money can buy far more than mansions. It will be called with fitting simplicity, “Grace’s Cottage.”

Now, more than ever before, each of us should take time to assess which local non-profit organizations have been meaningful in our family member’s lives and have added to quality of life in the region. Consider including these charities in the gift portion of your estate plans.

I will venture a guess that many of these nonprofit organizations will not be providing services in Carver County in the future unless we help them build endowments to help underwrite their operating budgets. More than that, we will be leaving a piece of ourselves behind to serve our community.

Each day I receive monetary requests from national and international charities. These are important to support, but it is also important to support our own

community.

The quality of life in Carver County is good for most of us, but federal, state and local government cannot do it all and may be doing less in the future. We need a healthy nonprofit sector to provide services that will not be affordable for government.

Contact your attorney to begin planning the gift portion of your estate today. The future quality of life in Carver County is at stake.

Most of us are not in a position to give our entire estate as Grace did, but we all can give something from our life’s work. Many of us owe much to nonprofits and the communities that have served our families. Instead of “paying back” perhaps we should think of it as “paying it forward.”

I believe that better times are coming. With thoughtful estate planning we can insure that non-profit organizations will be providing much needed services for generations yet unborn.

In closing, here is a challenge to nonprofit organization executives and board members: I know balancing a budget in this economy is difficult.

However, do everything in your power to build an endowment that will eventually provide earnings for 25 percent of your operating budget.

Challenge your donors to “capitalize their annual giving” by planning estate gifts that would perpetuate their annual gifts … on into the future. Example: A $1,000 a year donor could leave a $20,000 estate gift to your organization, which could provide up to a 5 percent return, or $1,000 a year for your operating budget … in perpetuity. Most donors have never considered this concept because they have never been asked.

Do it today … for a better tomorrow!

Bob Golberg is a resident of Victoria and the planned giving specialist at the Community Foundation for Carver County. Golberg retired from the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation, where he helped east metro residents plan nearly $18 million in estate gifts for Wilder’s Endowment Fund. He can be reached at bobgolberg@embarqmail.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR BUDGET

Economic cycle of addiction When I quit cigarettes, I quit.

I did not reduce my wished for increase in consumption.

When I quit booze, I quit. I did not reduce my wished for increase in consumption.

Why then, did the GOP in the legislature give us a “nicotine patch” of a budget, allowing them to claim austerity while really increasing spending by $4 billion over the previous biennium?

Worse, the GOP in Congress is going to make a deal with their Democratic boozehound friends and fictionally “cut” trillions when in fact government spending will continue rapidly onward and upward.

Local governments are dependent on the states. The states are dependent on the federal government. The federal government is dependent on Chinese lenders and Federal Reserve Bank money printers. It’s a deadly cycle of addiction/dependency.

It’s time to quit that destructive lifestyle. If a budget deal has not been cut by the time this is published, good! Let them live on the $2.2 trillion they are currently con fiscating from us. There’s plenty of money to cover essentials. Do not be scared by claims of prisoners being set free, etc… That would happen only if the president chooses it to be.

The “withdrawal” from overspending is going to happen eventually … better sooner than later.

We should go through it so our kids don’t have to. Expect a shortterm drop in GDP and a short-term rise in unemployment (as federal workers join their neighbors on unemployment).

Then we the people, the private sector, can begin to restore this country’s greatness.

Thank you to the many dancers, singers and martial art students who performed brilliantly and it is quite evident that they had practiced hard to be able to perform such quality performances.

Special thanks to our sponsors and volunteers.

Last year’s shift has yet to be repaid, and the shift from the 1980s took 15 years to be repaid. If that history repeats itself, children entering kindergarten this year will be juniors in college when this money is repaid!

Does that performance deserve an A? I think not! The delusion of our leaders’ thinking astounds and scares me!

FICTION

The first chapter in a writer’s life Young students, and their teacher, learn a few lessons

BY CHUCK FRIEDBAUER friedchu@yahoo.com

Editor’s Note: Chuck Friedbauer is the Chaska Herald’s education correspondent.

Reading and writing are staples of early childhood education. The fi rst steps of reading, such as learning the alphabet and phonics are readily remembered and even cherished by many. But the initial stages of writing are not as easy to put a pen on. And the ability to write a story is not a skill many children easily pick up.

To that end, this writer was fortunate to help six fourthgrade students at Clover Ridge Elementary school with their writing skills over the course of the past school year.

Each student was identified by their teacher because they enjoyed writing and wanted to learn a bit more. The group first dug unto basics like grammar and sentence structure.

Gradually, the students explored techniques like brainstorming, creating a “hook” to capture a reader’s attention and organizational skills to let their story flow from an introduction through to an exciting conclusion.

While the most enjoyable portion of this article will most certainly be the following story written by the children, there are a few notes on the process that are of importance.

As with any successful project, the intended result often deviates significantly from the actual result. This writer intended to help these students become better writers while realizing how much fun writing can be. While that mission was accomplished, this writer found a few lessons for the students also applied to himself as well.

First, most of the students joined the group because they like to read stories and creating their own “would be cool.” Several experienced the shock, however, of reading their “awesome” writing pieces out loud to others, discovering their broken sentence structure or disjointed thought process made their writing sound “kinda funny.” For this writer, teaching kids how to write also sounded cool. But, in fact, keeping six completely different 10-year-olds focused on writing a poem during snack time is, well, impossible.

Another teaching point was the benefits of editing, particularly how to give and take constructive criticism. Many

of the fourth-graders felt their pieces were perfect immediately, rough drafts are fictional fairy tales and nothing about criticism is constructive. It’s still a work in progress.

In addition, the students enjoyed criticizing this writer’s lesson plan, especially “constructing” a slightly different one. Rolling with the changes to keep it enjoyable for the kids was a tough lesson for this writer.

Finally, all writers wishing to have their work published, or even just read by another human being, knows deadlines are always looming at the horizon.

Many of the students grasped the effects of procrastination as the excitement of fi nishing a piece was replaced by the realization they didn’t like what they had just written in the last 97 seconds of the week they had to complete an assignment.

This writer hoped there would be six new writers in this world dedicating themselves to completing their writing well before their deadlines approached. But this writer decided the enormity of that dedication may be a personal hurdle for each individual, That realization came as this writer finished this article’s introduction about a month after the date he promised it to his editor. Do as the teacher says, not as he does.

The following story is the culmination of the g roup’s learning. This writer assumed the role of guidance, directing the students throughout the writing process. But the ideas and words belong to the students and are an excellent example of the creativity and skills many local youth have.

The students collaborated on the introduction and conclusion, while writing one portion of the story on their own. They are extremely pleased to present their story to the reading audience.

WHAT A WEIRD DAY

BY NEEL DESAI, GABE FRIEDBAUER, ALLIE GROSSKLAUS, JACKSON MANNA, LILY SMALLEY AND BROOKE WARNERT

One day, there was a girl named Fruity who loved basketball. She also liked to hang out with her friends. There was Biggy, who played soccer; Johnny, who wanted to be a wizard; Doody who loved mythology; Allie, who was an amazing dancer; and Indy, the video game master.

Every Wednesday in the summer, they would get together at their favorite park to hang out. One particularly beautiful morning, the sun was so bright you could see it through any rainy place. Johnny was reading “Harry Potter,” with Doody sitting next to him engulfed in a book about the Greek god Hephaestus. Allie was practic-

ing her dance routine while Indy was playing a video game on his GameBoy. Biggy had a soccer game at the park that day. At one moment, she kicked the ball out of bounds and it hit the park maintenance man. She was surprised because he looked a little like an old Justin Bieber.

He kicked the ball in anger all the way across the field and into Fruity’s basketball game.

When Fruity brought the ball back, they decided to apologize to Mr. Bieber, but he was gone.

Suddenly, Indy’s GameBoy starting acting weird. At the same time, Piggy was practicing a dance move, spinning so hard that the air around her began to form a funnel cloud. It quickly became a huge tornado, pulling all the kids into it! They soon lost track of where they were, with Indy’s video game the only sound to be heard through the wind. One by one, each kid woke up safe but separated in a video game world.

In his story, Jackson Manna is Johnny, who learns he has wizardly powers.

LEVEL I SUPAH WIZARD

BY JACKSON MANNA

Johnny got to his feet and looked around at his dark and mysterious surroundings before realizing he was holding a wand. He looked around for his friends but he was alone. Or so he thought.

Before he could take a step, two dark wizards jumped out of the shadows and challenged him to a duel. Johnny pointed his wand at them and a blue jet of light shot out of it, knocking both wizards to the ground!

He walked on further before three more wizards jumped out of the shadows. He defeated them with two translucent, swirly jets of light and a jet of red lightning from his wand, casting all three back into the shadows.

“This is really weird,” said Johnny.

Before he said another word, a deep voice boomed form the shadows, “I will defeat you Johnny!”

A dark figure walked from the bushes.

“My name is Stevedemort and I am the most evil wizard ever,” shouted the figure.

“Stevedemort?” asked Jiggy.

“Like Voldemort?”

“No!” the wizard roared.

“That is my insignificant little brother who thought he was better than me. Now, enough!

Come, fight me!”

Stevedemort shot a green jet of light at Johnny, who dodged and shot a blue jet at Stevedemort. The battle raged back and forth for what seemed like hours until Johnny fi nally defeated Stevedemort. Johnny picked up what looked like a piece of Indy’s video game controller from Stevedemort’s robes.

Suddenly, a portal appeared and pulled Johnny into it. Before he knew what was happening, he realized he was a goalie standing in a soccer net.

In her story, Lily Smalley is Biggie, who loves to play soccer.

LEVEL II SHOOT AND SCORE

BY LILY SMALLEY

“So do you want to play soccer or what?”

Biggy opened her eyes and realized she was lying in a soccer field.

“Well, do you or not?” asked the captain of the Evil StormHawks soccer team.

“Sure, do you have a ball?” asked Biggy.

“You start with it,” said the captain. “The first to score three wins!”

Biggy started dribbling the ball, but the captain tripped her as she past by. The captain started to run away with it, but Biggy used all that energy from the healthy breakfast she had that morning to stretch out her foot and steal the ball right back. But the

captain was really good and took it away again. She kicked t he ba l l towa rds t he goa l.

Just when Biggy thought the captain would score, she saw her fiend Johnny in the goal!

He def lected the ball all the way back to Biggy. She was alone and way ahead of the captain so she easily shot and scored!

Her lead did not hold up long because the captain scored on Johnny to make it one to one.

But Biggy made a nice scissors kick, which is a sweet move in soccer. She dribbled a bit before doing a meridian, which is only the best move ever in soccer, and scored again. She stole the ball from the captain again, raced down to the net and shot again. She kicked it so hard, the ball made a hole through the net and went flat. But that was goal number three - she had won!

Before they could celebrate, a sign popped up out of the ground that read, “Congratulations! You have just passed level two. Take this piece of the video game controller to level three.”

Everything started to go fuzzy as the two friends soon knew they weren’t on the soccer field anymore.

LEVEL III THE PERFECT SHOT WILL GO IN

BY BROOKE WARNERT

Fruity was shooting some hoops at her favorite court when all of a sudden, Biggy and Johnny appeared next to her out of thin air!

She told them her dilemma.

She had to make 35 free-throws before WNBA superstar Lisa Leslie did! How could she do that? She was the fi rst woman to ever dunk in a women’s basketball game!

“We know you can do it,” said Biggy.

In her story, Brooke Warnert is the character Fruity, who loves to play basketball.

Johnny got a rack of basketballs and pushed it next to the free-throw line as the buzzer went off – game on!

Fruity shot and shot and shot until the scoreboard read Fruity 26, Leslie 24. She was two shots ahead! There was no way this would go to her head, thought Fruity. She kept on shooting until her arms felt like they would fall off. The scoreboard now read Fruity 34, Leslie 32. She took a deep breath. There was no way she would let her friends down.

She shot the ball and – swoosh!

Nothing but net! The three friends hugged and congratulated her.

Lisa Leslie came over too and said, “Congratulations kids, you’re pretty good. Take this piece of the video game controller on your way to level four.”

Johnny, Biggy and Fruity walked into the locker room, but instead of lockers, they were surprised to see...

Southwest Transit celebrates 25 years On July 21, 1986, the Southwest Area Transit Commission (later renamed as SouthWest Transit) was formed through a Joint Powers Agreement between the Cities of Eden Prairie, Chaska and Chanhassen to provide transit service to the residents of those three Cities and surrounding areas.

This collaboration was a result of the cities’ decision that they were not receiving an equitable level of transit service compared to the amount of property taxes they paid, according to a Southwest Transit press release.

In 2002, the Motor Vehicle Sales Tax (MVST) became the major funding source for the agency.

“Our service has evolved from just a few buses providing service from various surface lots to an award-winning agency serving over one million riders a year,” said Len Simich, CEO of SouthWest Transit. “Our coach buses accommodate our riders in comfort and style, and our

enclosed transit stations in Eden Prairie and Chanhassen add to their transit experience.”

“We are proud of our many n at ion a l , st at e a nd lo c a l awards for service, safety and security,” he continued.

“Each year our rider survey results indicate that 99 percent of SWT riders are satisfied or very satisfied with our service.

They rate our reliability and customer service very high.”

SWT anticipates more demand for service from riders in the southwest suburban area. Chanhassen Transit Station is under construction near the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre and should be open for service early in 2012.

Plans to build a parking ramp and enclosed station at the current East Creek Transit Station site in Chaska are in their beginning stages.

Construction would begin in 2012.

Chaskans serve on CAP board The Scott Carver Dakota C om mu n it y Ac t ion P a r t-

nership (CA P) Agency ap pointed five new members to its board of directors as of June 14.

The new board members are spread out across Scott, Carver and Dakota counties.

Two local members are Tom Hughes and Gino Businaro.

Hughes lives in Chaska and is currently a banker at Community Bank Chanhassen. Hughes is involved in the community coordinating t he Habit at for Hu ma nity landscaping for Scott and Ca r ver Cou nties, i n addition to serving as a master gardener volunteer for the University of Minnesota extension program.

Businaro lives in Chaska and is retired. Businaro has 30 years of experience in fiscal management and has worked for Carver County, Minneapolis Public Schools and the city of Mound. Businaro served as a Chaska councilor and on the Chaska school board.

He was i nvolved wit h t he Carver-Scott Co-op governing board for four years and was a member of the Mound Crime Prevention Board for 15 years.

She has a good temperament and is working on basic manners, house training and obedience with her foster family. She gets along well with other dogs and seems to be OK with cats. She is timid around men, but warms up given time, although loud noises and deep voices scare her. She’ll thrive in an active home with ample playtime, otherwise she can get mischievous if bored. Please note that poodles need to be bathed regularly and clipped every six to eight weeks and have frequent ear cleanings. Missy has received all vaccines, spayed, micro-chip, heartworm test and preventative given. Her adoption fee is $300.

Bodies of water

Triathletes regularly train with swims on Lake Minnewashta

BY FORREST ADAMS fadams@swpub.com

The fi rst rule about the open water swim on Monday nights is it’s by invitation only.

It’s only for the hard core, people in training for a triathlon who can complete a 0.7 mile swim in short order before they turn around and swim back, from one side of the lake to the other, sometimes twice.

More than a dozen colored silicone swim caps cut through the clear water under a partly cloudy sky on a recent Monday evening.

The time was 6:30 p.m. A wave of energy, kicking legs and stretched out arms moved toward the public swimming area at Lake Minnewashta Regional Park.

They were the first large group of the week to swim across Lake Minnewashta.

Denny Johnson was one of them. A 65-year-old retired attorney from Edina who is now training for his fi rst ironman triathlon, the Wisconsin Ironman, scheduled for Sept.

11, 2011.

A n I r o n m a n T r i at h lo n consists of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike and a marathon (26.2 miles) run, raced in that order and without a break.

Patrick Ward, Minneapolis, was another. The fit 20-some-

thing is training for an event c a l led Vi nema n T riat h lon later this month in Santa Rosa, Calif. The Vineman brings competitors through Sonoma Cou nt y’s wi ne cou nt r y. I n 2010 there were approximately 700 entrants.

Others in Monday’s swim group were preparing for the 5-mile Minnetonka Challenge open water swim this weekend, the Ironman Boulder triathlon on Aug. 4 or another event in the rapidly growing sport of triathlon.

Steve Gunther, host of the swim, said he thinks triathlons are “the new golf,” in terms of their growing popularity and attraction to business executives and others looking for a recreational challenge.

The second g roup of the week swims on Wednesday mornings. They gather at 6 a.m. at Gunther’s Chanhassen home. Gunther said this group is typically about 40 people.

Bot h g roups a re g uided by buoys and monitored by two kayaks and a pontoon as they traverse the lake from Gunther’s private beach, which is visible across the lake from the park beach.

Steve Gunther swims on Lake Minnewashta on a recent Monday night.

Steve and Helen Gunther have owned a home on Lake Minnewashta since 1998, and

it wasn’t long before they were training for their fi rst triathlon. Steve said ever since he has been hooked to “the training lifestyle” and has competed in about eight triathlons each year as far away as Switzerland.

More than travel to competitions in exotic locales, Gunther said another positive aspect of bringing triathlons into his life has been the camaraderie with other people in training.

“If you’re training for a triathlon, you’re doing multiple sports six days of the week,” he said. “Everybody has a handicap. Some people are good swimmers but can’t run to save their life. Others are good bikers but poor swimmers. You meet a lot of neat people, and you train together.”

Not surprisingly, the more triathlons Gunther has trained for and competed in, the more

new people he has met and invited to train at Lake Minnewashta. Gradually his house b e c a me k now n a s “C a mp Gunther,” and even now in the midst of the sweltering heat this summer and the road construction that has street torn up, the training continues.

Gunther hosts free openwater swims every Monday and Wednesday, as weather permits. For more informa-

The Jonathan Board wanted to commemorate the “Apple Award” program, which is the highest honor that the Association gives and it recognizes extraordinary service given by volunteers on behalf of their Jonathan neighbors, according to a press release.

“This name seems like such a great fit and is so appropriate for this new structure,” stated Board member Mark Perry, in the release. “Volunteerism has had such a positive influence on the quality of life and our property values here in Jonathan.”

Board members also wanted to try to preserve the memory of the “Jonathan Apple Trees” initiative that took place back in the early 1970s when founder Henry McKnight encouraged an effort to plant a large number of apple trees throughout Association neighborhoods.

“We just might need to add a couple of apple trees to our landscaping design plans for the Apple Barn,” suggested Board member Nancy Dilks.

Also, the fact that the longrunning Jonathan newsletter was once named “Apple Seeds”

was pointed out at the meeting

by Gassen Property Manager Nancy Teske. “This is another important aspect of Jonathan history that needs preserving,” she said.

Construction of the Apple Barn is part of Jonathan’s larger overall systemic plan for property renovation. This new storage building allows for the removal of equipment, tools, and motorized vehicles from the Lake Grace Pavilion so that plans for the renovation of that recreational lakeside facility can proceed thanks to the Association’s decades-long partnership with Chaska Boy Scout Troop 589.

The “Apple Barn” is the name of Jonathan’s new storage facility.

NEWS BRIEF

Jonathan names new storage barn At its July 12 monthly meeting, the Jonathan Association Board of Directors voted unanimously to name its newly constructed storage facility the “Apple Barn.”

The Apple Bar n is a 1,800-square foot equipment storage structure which was recently built on the Karen House headquarters property of the Jonathan Association, located at 111000 Bavaria Road in Chaska.

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.

The Barn Quilts of Carver County are up and ready for public viewing. On Monday, Marilyn and Leon “Butch�

Kelzer, above, of Waconia, watched as the traditional Double Wedding Ring quilt block was installed on their barn. The quilt block is even more meaningful as the Kelzers celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary in June 16, 2012. At left, Mike Otteson, journeyman lineman with Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative (MVEC), drilled the block into the side of the barn. MVEC donated equipment and staff to install all 12 of the barn quilts throughout Carver County, including Rock Isles Farm and Deardorff Orchards/ Parley Lake Winery.

H

ot and muggy weather didn’t hold back the crowds at last weekend’s River City Days.

“What people told me was this was the biggest crowds they’ve seen,” said River City Days coordinator Tim Sebenaler. He also observed more people attending Saturday night activities this year.

“We had to turn down crafters – the same with info booths and food vendors,” Sebenaler said. “The park is only so big.”

At right – Eliana Rimmereide, 8, of Carver, helps at the Chaska Valley Family Theatre’s booth on Saturday, promoting the musical “Willy Wonka.”

She portrays a squirrel in the production and, even though it was blazing hot, continued wearing the squirrel head – one of her favorite things. “It could be my winter hat,” she suggested to her mother.

The event is a big fundraiser for many local groups. For example, Friends of the Chaska Library book sale grossed $4,500, reported Barbara Colhapp, with the Friends. “The Friends thanks all the volunteers, both adult and teens.

We also thank our patrons, and hope that they’ll read their books, and return them to the library so that we can sell them to their neighbors at the next book sale in February,” Colhapp said.

Sebenaler is already planning events for next year – perhaps an old-timer’s horseshoe tournament. “I’m looking for someone who would want to head that up,” said Sebenaler.

If interested, contact Sebenaler at (952) 448-9908.

Try these energy-efďŹ cient home enhancements for comfort, savings

C

onserving energy at home can be as simple as swapping incandescent light bulbs to compact uorescent lights (CFLs) or unplugging the computer when it is not in use.

However, a home built for energy efďŹ ciency can have an even more signiďŹ cant impact on your family’s energy use.

Taking a look at your home from top to bottom and wall to wall can uncover ways to maximize energy efďŹ ciency. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 40 percent of global energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions come from the world’s homes and buildings. Although energy efďŹ cient upgrades and home renovations can seem more costly upfront, the investment can help save money and energy in the long term.

Reduce air inďŹ ltration

Between framing and routing for wiring and plumbing, hundreds of seams, gaps and holes exist in a typical home, which let air in and out. Forty percent of a home’s energy is lost due to this air inďŹ ltration, according to the Department of Energy. In fact, these gaps in an average-size home could ďŹ ll nearly 200,000 basketballs with air every 24 hours.

A cost-effective way to address the issue is with proper air sealing and insulation. For example, Owens Corning EnergyComplete Air Sealing System seals the gaps in the home’s exterior walls before installing ďŹ berglass insulation for thermal protection. The system can reduce air inďŹ ltration by up to 70 percent in new homes and can lead to a savings of up to 33 percent in heating and cooling bills for some homeowners.

When considering home insulation, also look for solutions that

keep the environment in mind. “Every pound of glass ďŹ ber thermal insulation saves 12 times more energy each year than was originally used to produce it,â€? says Frank O’Brien-Bernini, chief sustainability ofďŹ cer for Owens Corning. “In fact, our new EcoTouch insulation uses a minimum of 30 percent postconsumer recycled content and 50 percent total recycled content, as certiďŹ ed by ScientiďŹ c CertiďŹ cation Systems.â€?

Revisit the roof

Re-roof your home with ENERGY STAR-rated shingles that use granule technology to reect the sun’s rays and help keep roofs cooler, resulting in more comfortable and energy-efďŹ cient living spaces. In some areas, these shingles may also qualify for tax credits. Owens Corning Duration Cool Shingles help save energy without sacriďŹ cing beauty. Additionally, a rooďŹ ng system that includes proper ventilation helps keep moisture and hot air away from the living space.

Eight out of 10 homes in the United States have asphalt shingle roofs, resulting in millions of tons of potential waste that could end up in landďŹ lls each year as homes are re-roofed. Recycling a home’s old shingles is equivalent to recycling a year’s worth of household waste. Visit Owens Corning RooďŹ ng & Asphalt’s shingle recycling program to learn how to choose a contractor that will recycle your roof.

Close the window to air leakage

Eliminating drafts can save 5 to 30 percent of a home’s annual energy costs, according to the National Association of Home Builders. Window frames are a common culprit for air seepage.

Consider installing new, energy-efďŹ cient windows or sealing

existing windows to address this issue.

Strong and durable ďŹ berglass composite window frames are virtually maintenance-free over their long lifetimes, vastly reducing the need for repair or replacement.

A complete solution from the oor to the roof

Whether you are making minor changes or undertaking major renovations at home, enhancing your home with sustainable

methods will not only contribute to the overall health and well-being of your family and community, but deliver long term savings. “Homeowners should realize that they can enhance their home’s function and style, while simultaneously saving money and the planet,� O’Brien-Bernini says.

Fate keeps bringing them together

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

Back in first grade, Halle Witherspoon noticed that like her, Grace O’Malley was hanging back from the other kids on the playground at recess.

The two girls were starting their fi rst-grade year at Bluff Creek Elementary School in Chanhassen.

Halle said she remembered approaching Grace and saying, “I see that you don’t play with anyone on the playground either.”

The two girls bonded over their shared shyness, and soon learned that they had a lot more in common. They liked the same things, had the same interests, and became best friends.

Coincidently, their moms, Aimee O’Malley and JJ Witherspoon met and befriended each other, too.

So it was a sad day when in third grade, Halle’s family, the Witherspoons, moved to Phoenix, Ariz.

But the girls and their moms kept in touch through e-mail, phone calls, and annual visits when the Witherspoons returned to the Twin Cities to visit relatives.

“The girls have always had such a connection,” Aimee O’Malley said.

Near the end of last school year, in May, Grace’s fifthgrade class at Bluff Creek had a new project to work on.

Fifth-grade teacher Julie Myhr signed up to have the students participate in The Great Mail Race. It’s a letter writing program for schools across the United States. The project enables students to write letters to classrooms all across the country. In addition to helping students with their

language and grammar skills, it also teaches them about the 50 states, the capitols, and other interesting facts about each state.

“Our class received two letters,” Grace said. “Mrs. Myhr held them up during class.

One was from Oklahoma. Then she held up the second letter and said, ‘Who wants to open this one?’ I raised my hand. I opened it and started reading.

“The letter said, ‘Hi my name is Halle,’ and it went on about what she liked to do in school,” Grace said. “And then I read, ‘I know a girl named Grace…’”

“She called me up and said, ‘I got your letter!’” Halle said.

Halle and her family recently visited the Twin Cities and the two girls and the two moms spent their day at Mall of America. There they celebrated Halle’s birthday. She turned

11 on Thursday, July 21. Grace turns 12 in September.

Halle explained that her school — Desert Sun Academy — in Phoenix also participated in The Great Mail Race. When it was time to choose schools to which they’d send letter, Bluff Creek Elementary was one she selected as a former student there.

But she never imagined her letter would be opened by her long-distance best friend.

O’Malley said that when the girls were younger, they were both very shy and they bonded in part because of that quality they saw in each other.

“And now, years later, a thousand miles apart, they seem to continue to fi nd each other,” O’Malley said. “They’re talking about going to college together, too. Where, they don’t know yet, but as far away from their moms as possible.”

Bridging history Carver Council takes control of 141 year bridge

BY NICK MASON nicholascmason@comcast.net

Carver City Council decided Monday to accept the donation of the 141-year-old railroad bridge crossing Main Street East at the entrance to Riverside Park.

Councilors voted 4-1 to take the bridge offered by Union Paci fic Railroad Company, which is removing tracks from its abandoned 5.6-mile spur in Carver and Scott counties, including about 1.5 miles in Carver city limits.

The rail line was built in 1870, but trains stopped using the local tracks once a flood-damaged bridge in Scott County collapsed during a derailment in March 2007, plunging several freight cars loaded with sugar into a tributary of the Minnesota River.

The council’s decision responded to an appeal Monday

by Carver history enthusiast John von Walter, a member of

RAIL LINE

bridge that span Main Street as it leads into Riverside Park.

(See related story.)

HISTORY The 5.6-mile stretch of rail running between Louisville in Scott County through Carver and into Chaska was constructed by the Minneapolis-St. Louis Railway in 1870 and 1871 at a cost of $20,000 per mile, according to von Walter’s research.

The grand opening run was made from here to Minneapolis on Nov. 25, 1871.

In 1960, the rail was acquired by the Chicago and Northwestern Railway. Several pieces were later abandoned, including the portion running from Chaska toward Minneapolis.

Mayor Greg Osterdyk and Councilors Glen Henry, Cindy Monroe and Carrie Newhouse voted for the city to take ownership of the bridge. Councilor Mike Webb voted against it.

Councilors were not sure how the bridge will be used.

One idea was to make it a pedestrian pathway. Another was to turn it into a large entrance sign for Riverside Park.

Before the meeting, Osterdyk had stated, “The bridge will not be functional from a trails perspective and we don’t have any dollars budgeted to convert it to a pedestrian walkway. There are various concerns such as maintenance and safety that the council needs to discuss.”

“Maybe we could turn it into a giant sign post,” Osterdyk said, at the meeting.

Carver’s Heritage Preservation Committee had hoped to retain the Main Street bridge as a monument and signpost to indicate the railroad history.

“Besides being a monument to the past, and a place-making icon for those living today, the bridge can serve as an ideal sign holder marking the entrance to Riverside Park,” wrote von Walter, in an e-mail. “It can serve as a barricade holder for those times when the park is closed.

It can serve as a point of historical interest when the levee trail comes to pass. And it would be cheaper to leave it than to tear

In 1990, Union Pacific took over the spur that led to the United Sugars plant in Chaska.

A trestle collapse in March 2007 caused a Union Pacific train carrying several rail cars full of sugar to tumble into the Minnesota River upstream from Carver.

Rather than pony up the estimated $8 million necessary to fi x the trestle and the line, Union Pacific opted to abandon the section of rail between the Renaissance Festival grounds in Louisville and United Sugars, fi lling the official paperwork in 2008.

Union Pacific argued that “freight revenues were insufficient to justify costs of rehabilitation or reconstruction.” The railroad stated that it was hauling between 600 and 800 carloads in each of the last few years. In the year before

the collapse, the railroad had carried 764 carloads at a profit of $ 23,823. According to the railroad, there were no prospects for increased traffic or revenues on the line.

The railroad’s sole customer at the time, United Sugars in Chaska, filed a protest to keep the line in service, but was unsuccessful despite complaints of the increased cost of alternate transport. Since then, the cities of Chaska and Carver have been working with Scott and Carver counties to purchase the line from Union Pacific.

In May, the Carver County Board voted to approve a $2.35 million purchase agreement.

That agreement has not been executed yet, but Carver County Parks Director Marty Walsh said he expects it to be finalized yet this summer.

The corridor has been eyed

the Carver Heritage Preservation Commission, to rescue the bridge from the wrecking ball.

“If we can save it at this last hour, it can still be used as the entrance to Riverside Park,” von Walter told councilors. “That would be a perfect place as a monument to the railroad.”

Bridge preservation also is “the greenest solution” because it avoids part or all of the bridge ending up in a landfi ll, he said.

“Virtually everybody I talked to, residents and businesses, would like to see the bridge saved,” von Walter said. “There is just a whole lot of reasons to save the bridge and few, if any, to tear it down.”

Von Walter had earlier said in an e-mail that “Except for the railroad tower, which is one severe storm away from obliteration, it is the last vestige of Carver’s 140-year relationship with the railroads.”

$70,000 City Planner Cindy Nash told councilors that the city’s engineering consultant, Bonestroo Inc. of St. Paul, last year estimated Main Street railroad bridge rehabilitation costs at “a little bit over $70,000.”

Webb suggested Carver-onthe-Minnesota, Inc. acquire the railroad bridge, but Monroe said she didn’t think the nonprofit corporation “is set up to

REMOVAL The removal of the abandoned railroad line began in late June and will continue into November. Omaha Track Material is working on the project.

Terry Peterson, with Omaha Track Material, said that they use a crew of six to eight workers to do such removals. “The process is mostly automated using equipment that is very job specific, such as spike pullers, bolt machines, track excavators with rail grapples and magnets, and log loader trucks for handling ties,” he said.

This particular project has presented its fair share of challenges to the crew, Peterson noted. The section of rail line between the downed trestle and the river bridge in Carver has been difficult to access.

have a bridge.” Von Walter is its president.

“I don’t want to come up with 70 grand ($70,000) or deal with the insurance issue,” Webb said. “If it boils down to 70 grand, I don’t want it.”

The decision Monday came 14 months after councilors directed their staff to ask Union Pacific to donate the 1.5 miles of track inside city limits to the city government and to ask to buy the railroad bridge for $1. Union Pacific later declined both requests.

That vote in June 2010 also was 4-1 with then-Mayor Jim Weygand, then-Councilor Mary Williamson, Monroe and Newhouse approving it and Webb opposed.

“I’m not for taking on ownership of another bridge in Carver, regardless of its historical significance. I want the words ‘historical significance’ in quotes because I’m being facetious,” Webb said after the June 2010 meeting. “I just think it’s another money pit for the city that we cannot afford.”

Railroad removal schedule Beginning in late June, crews removed tracks, ties, plates and spikes on the abandoned Union Pacific line through Carver and Chaska. Work continues on the railroad bridge that crosses the Minnesota River at Carver.

Here’s the remaining demolition schedule for weeks beginning: Aug. 1, 8 and 13: Remove wood bridge trestle.

Peterson said that all of the materials they remove will be recycled.

“Most of the rail, tie plates and rail joint bars will be reused in new industrial track construction,” he said.

The ties will either be sold for landscape or ground up and used for fuel while bridge beams will be cut up and melted for scrap, Peterson added.

cut down and modifi ed. The backpack provides stability and a secure harness for the elaborate costume fabricated from cloth, foam and other materials. It also provides stability for the actor to move w it hout u ndue st r e s s a nd strain.

“For the show ‘All Shook Up,’ I had to figure out how we’d make the angels’ wings flap,” Aeilits recalled. “The wings were fi ne and made from foam, but we had to find a way to make the wings flap, too.’

The solution was taking fishing line and attaching them to the wings. The actors could reach into their costumes, hook their thumbs into the transparent line and flap their wings to their cues.

Aeilits works with several area theaters including the CDT, the Bloomington Civic Theater and Wooddale Church, Eden Prairie.

Aeilits also counts millinery as part of her vast skill set.

She’s made dozens of hats over the years at the CDT. Her most memorable and largest was an Easter bonnet for an Actors Equity AIDS benefit at the Minskoff Theatre on Broadway. Aeilits made the hat as the CDT’s entry as everyone attending the benefit was to wear an outrageously over-thetop bonnet.

Aeilit’s 3-foot-high creation included an Easter basket, baby chicks and oversized Easter eggs. It was so big it cost $400 to ship across the country, said Kris Howland, director of public relations.

“After the event was over, we just told them, you can keep the hat! It’s too bad because it really was fantastic.”

Century Blvd.

Deep within the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, Nancy Aeilits takes the ideas dreamed up by costume director/designer Rich Hamson, and figures out how to make those ideas, as fantastical and nearly impossible as they might seem, come to life.

It’s Aeilits’ artistic challenge to create costumes such as a g ia nt ha nd mi xer, a n armoire, or walking, talking m a rble st at ues, a nd m a ke them look realistic. She also has the technical challenge of making these bigger-thanli fe - si ze cost u mes f lexible and comfortable enough for the actors inside to sing and dance.

It’s a challenge that Aeilits has gladly taken on for the past seven years at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres (CDT).

Aeilits graduated from college with degrees in art and in theater. She realized early on that being in a classroom wasn’t for her. Instead, she used her artistic skills to form a business, teach art classes, paint commissioned portraits, paint fanciful faux finishes in homes and businesses, and to assist her church theater’s productions.

Nearly 10 years ago, Aeilits made elaborate masks for Wooddale Church’s production of “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.” Her friends, struck by the beauty and the craftsmanship of the masks, encouraged Aeilits to take samples of her work to the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres.

Aeilits dropped off her resume and photos of the masks from her portfolio at the CDT. She never heard back. A year and a half later, Aeilits thought she’d drop by the CDT one more time. This time, she met with Sandy Nei Schulte, the former costume director. When Aeilits brought out the 10 masks from “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,” Nei Schulte said, “You need to be doing this for our theaters.”

T u r n s o u t t h at A ei l it s dropped her portfolio off with the wrong department. While she can probably design and paint a set as wel l as anyone, her magic touch comes from taking a director’s and costume designer’s wildest imaginings and making them come true.

“Michael [Brindisi] has the overall vision and Rich [Hamson] comes up with the costume designs. He’ll come over and say ‘I need a car.’ ‘I need a bar of soap.’ ‘I need a bottle of PepsiCola.’”

Aeilits’ first CDT production was “Beauty and the Beast,” where she made such costumes as an elegant armoire, a gracious candelabra, a seductive umbrella, and a motherly teapot.

Aeilits and Hamsom collaborate.

“Rich has the ideas for the costumes,” Aei lits said. “I have to fi nd a way not only to create the costumes to look good on stage, but I also have to consider all the structural aspects, too.”

For example one of the more unwieldy costumes requires an inner frame made from a framed backpack that’s been

STORY AND PHOTOS BY UNSIE ZUEGE AND MARK W. OLSON

T

he county fair is coming, the county fair is coming! While there are some haters (see Tom Hoffa’s column on the facing page) most of us are beside ourselves because it’s that time of year when we get to literally loosen the belt, let down the hair and let the good times roll.

Bring on the cheese curds, the dairy fresh ice cream sundaes, and any deep-fried confectionary of the moment. Take an extra cholesteral tab when you get home. Good-time bands like our own homegrown Johnny Holm make us dance until we’re goofy. Motokazie gives us a chance to see some really nutty daredevil driving and riding, and rides like the Zipper let us release our inner demons as we scream our lungs out.

All the competitions — the baking, the canning, scrapbooking, photography, woodworking and such — either inspire awe (imagine how much work so-and-so put into that!) or appeal to our snarkier inner voices (oh, I could do so much better than that).

There’s something for everyone.

The diaper races for the young set; the Minnesota Viking cheerleaders for the somewhat older fair patrons. Baby chicks in the small animals barn; rubber ducks in the Midway. Foamy headed rootbeer for the little kids, foamy headed beer for the big kids. Scary rides on the Midway. Scary facts at the Environmental Center about environmental waste.

Local politicians in booths and tables, eager to hear what you

think of them after this legislative session. What fun we’ll all have with that one!

What makes it more notable than other years is that this is the Carver County Fair’s 100th anniversary of being in Waconia. What’s the big deal about that? Well, in an area of the country where it’s more likely they’ll tear down a perfectly good outdoor stadium for a dumb domed stadium, then in little more than 20-some years later build a new outdoor stadium, such longevity or loyalty is unusual.

W hat do you love about t he fair? We asked the community and here’s what they said.

Let’s begin with Chaska Herald editor Mark Olson’s list.

3. Shutdown sound-off Irritated by the state shutdown?

Ticked off by the federal budget standoff?

Well, fi nd a politician and sound off.

There is no lack of political booths to opine at during the Carver County Fair.

It’s the perfect time to let your feelings be known.

5. Johnny Holm 1. Chinking, daubing, flailing When’s the last time you visited an 1880s granary?

The Carver County Historical Society reassembled a log granary to use as its home at the fair in 2007.

Work continues on the log granary every year through a process called chinking and daubing.

This year the society will hold milking demonstration on a fake cow, and show visitors how to separate grain from the stalk using a flail.

Most importantly, the society will have a special exhibit on the 100th anniversary of the fair.

All that, and you can make and take home your own flour!

Nothing says “good time” l i ke Ch a sk a’s ver y ow n Johnny Holm.

Like a rock and roll evangelist, Johnny Holm has been spreading the word of classic rock to small-town Minnesota festivals for decades. He invented the term “consummate showman.”

Holm and his band perform at 8:30 p.m., Aug. 10

4. Food row Mama’s Java.

Granny’s Apples.

Daddy’s Donuts.

Just kidding on the last one, but you get the idea.

There’s lots of great food to be eaten at the fair, ranging from walleye to ostrich.

But you really can’t beat the basics – pork burgers at the Carver County Pork Producers booth.

9. Carnie art 7. Kids pedal pull

2. Pledge to visit 4-H I pledge: my HEAD to clearer thinking; my HEART to greater loyalty; my HANDS to larger service; and my HEALTH to better living, for my family, my club, my community, my country and my world.

If that pledge doesn’t get you to check out 4-H entertainment at the fair, what will?

Every day, Carver County 4-Hers give fashion demonstrations, act in plays, sing and provide all sorts of entertainment for fairgoers.

They are the coolest kids on the block.

6. Dairy Princesses Prince William and Kate Middleton?

Bah! Who needs the drama?

T y pic a l ly t he C a r ver County Dairy Princesses pop up throughout the fair – the best kind of royalty sighting

Tiny toy tractors and ferocious tiny tots, grunting with the gusto of top women’s tennis player Victoria Azarenka.

Since this competition has not yet been made into a reality series, you can only find it at small-town festivals and fairs.

8. Beer garden No further explanation necessary.

When you’re done checking out the ink on that carnie’s arm, take time to admire the colorful airbrushed rendition of a deformed monster, or America’s latest starlet, on the carnival rides.

Airbrushed carnival rides – America’s purest art form. Eat your heart out Andy Warhol.

10. The Zipper If you’ve never been in a car accident, you too can now experience whiplash symptoms in one of America’s neck-snappiest rides – for only a couple bucks and without all the insurance hassle.

Why I’m a ‘Fair Curmudgeon’

BY TOM HOFFA

11. Gateway gambling Never been much of a gambler? Well the Carver County Fair provides the perfect place to start. Begin with the ducks on the midway (pick a duck, win a prize) and work your way up to the bingo tent.

You’ll be playing cards with the teens in the cattle barns before you know it.

12. Camel rides If you’re a Carver County grandparent, you already know about this event because you watch your poor grandchild ride this strange animal every year.

Unless you’re a sheik, there’s no way to avoid looking like a doofus on a camel – which makes it the perfect photo op.

State fairs. County fairs. Makes no difference. Yuck. Some might consider me a “fair hater,” but I prefer to think of myself as a “fair curmudgeon” instead. A fair curmudgeon doesn’t hold hatred in his heart, he just feels grumpy about the chaos and discomfort inherent at every fair. That’s me.

The biggest obstacle for any fair curmudgeon is a generalized feeling of discomfort during the proceedings, starting with the weather. Fairs are often held in summer and it’s usually hot.

Or, it’s rainy. Or, it’s hot and rainy. And there are precious few places to take refuge from the summer swelter. The rare selection of buildings equipped with air conditioning are usually packed, shoulder to shoulder, with fellow fair curmudgeons trying desperately to thwart heat stroke.

Fair lovers might argue that the rides are the main attraction. In response, I would humbly suggest that nothing says “safety” quite like an amusement park ride that has been disassembled, moved and reassembled, about 50 times a summer. Did the Carnie who assembled the ride really have my well being in mind?

Did he come up a few bolts short this time and chalk it up to the bumpy truck ride it took to get there? No thanks.

Others might suggest that food at the fair is the main draw. OK, but does anyone’s system really need a breaded and fried Snicker’s bar or the 20-minute wait in line in the hot sun to get one? I realize life is short, but fair food like that could make it considerably shorter.

Lastly, I can do without the chaos at the fair.

There’s simply too much commotion to take it all

Where else but the Fair?

Free well water testing. You read that right.

Free nitrate water-testing clinic on Aug. 11 at the Environmental Services booth. Bring a one-half cup of water in a clean plastic or clean glass container, no more than 24 hours old. Allow the tap to run 5 to 10 minutes before filling the container, then refrigerate.

Homeowners with distillation units, reverse osmosis or other nitrate removal systems should take two water samples one before and one after the treatment process. This will determine if the system is working.

Homeowners with just a water softener need to take one sample, either before or after the water passes through the water softener.

Samples will be analyzed on the spot. Process takes less than five minutes and results will be given directly to the homeowner. If the nitrate level in a sample is elevated, clinic staff can refer the homeowner to certified labs that will retest the water. For questions about the clinic or how to take a water sample contact Joe Enfield, Carver County Environmental Services at 952-361-1801 or jenfield@co.carver.mn.us.

in. Oh, I don’t begrudge fair goers who love the experience. Great, go and enjoy. But leave me home with the TV remote, the air conditioning cranked, and a cold drink by my side.

Heaven.

How to pack for the County Fair

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

13. West side/East side mashup Let’s face it, other than the fair, when do suburbanized Eastern Carver County residents gather over a corn dog feast with their rural cousins from Western Carver County?

And when’s the last time you actually visited Waconia? (Being sent to the Ridgeview Emergency Room for driving a nail through your thumb doesn’t count.)

I am not a light packer, though I try. I really try. But I can’t seem to leave the house, even on a trip to the grocery store without bringing my Sherpa.

But I do like to bring a backpack or large bag to the fair. Usually I’m toting my camera bag, which is also good for stashing my essentials.

Don’t forget, there’s a ton of freebies they give away at the Fair.

Here’s what I pack: Wallet with lots of small bills.

Lip balm Lipstick (It makes a difference, believe me) Contact lens solution (the barns are dusty) Tissues Dental floss (for after the corn on the cob

session) Hand wipes (for after the corn on the cob session) A hat Tide stain pen (self-explanatory I think) Sunglasses Cellphone Band aids Sun lotion Bug spray (mosquitoes fi nd me in the dead of winter, I can’t be too careful) My husband’s Epi pen My husband Small notepad Pens Bottle of water Rain poncho (it has the Twins logo on it) in case of rain Have I missed anything?

We also asked our readers what they recommend doing at the Fair: 22. Visit the political booths — Barbara

51-52. Kettle corn, and the amateur talent

23-28.

53. Our favorite thing to do is going to the

Colhapp, Chaska.

14. Competitive sleeping Your Posturepedic bed isn’t doing the job? How about sleeping on folding chairs and hay bales amid baying sheep and mooing cattle? That’s how the kids with livestock roll.

Don’t laugh. Cleaning up manure and dragging along a stubborn cow all day would knock you out to.

There isn’t a category for “Competitive Sleeping,” but if there was, you’d fi nd plenty of champs at the county fair.

15. People watching The Carver County fair is a great place to watch people, but just a warning – everyone else is watching you.

— Let a goat nibble the bottom of your shirt. Hold a baby duckling.

Their bills are darling. Ride a camel and check out the hooves while walking.

(Amazingly squishy). Get a colorful photo of someone on the Dumbo ride.

This particular ride had a good “sheen” and I don’t mean Charlie. Go over your Weight Watchers points! Wink at a “carny.” Or maybe not. Watch out for soft piles in the barns, especially if you wear flip flops. — Jody Schepers, Chanhassen.

29.

See the Pig races! — Annette Hentz, Carver.

contest — Carolyn Spargo, Chaska

truck and tractor pull. Carver County has the one of any county fair! Al likes all the loud noise and black smoke; I love the people watching, and the food. — Linda Schutz, Carver

54-56. Socializing with the goats. They

understand me. Pick up all the free stuff.

Look at the awesome art projects — Jane Hall

57. See the 2011/2012 Federal Duck Stamp

16. Cheapskate

30. Wander through Carver County

Gate admission is only $6. And let’s face it, if you didn’t spend it at the fair, you’d blow it on a gas station breakfast burrito.

31-41. Eat the kettle corn. See the baby

animals. See if there’s anything in the merchandise area that I can’t live without.

Eat some more kettle corn. See the cute karate kids do their demonstrations.

Go look at the tractors. Go to the place where they weigh you and tell you what your body fat is.

I weigh myself once a year, and that’s it. If I’m happy with what I weigh, I go eat more kettle corn. If I’m not happy, then it’s a lost cause anyway, so I go eat more kettle corn. Play bingo. Usually, at least one of our friends’ children has a band playing, or a dance group performing, so we see that, have a little more kettle corn and go home — Jane McCloskey

17. Tippy the cow The fair’s mascot – a cow with surprisingly luscious eyelashes – is apparently named after the sport of cow tipping.

Who can resist that bit of marketing?

18. Gooey blood Wonder how many onion rings and fries you need to ingest before they reject your cholesterol-clogged blood? Find out by visiting Memorial Blood Centers. They’ll be collecting blood at the fair on Saturday, Aug. 13.

19. Flower power Want to see a fight break out among florists?

This might be your only chance.

The fair sponsors a flower arranging contest on Aug. 12.

The rules: Fair will provide flowers and vases.

Individuals will have one-half hour to create an arrangement using only the provided materials.

Judging will be done by fairgoers.

No elbowing, catcalling or flower doping allowed.

(Made that last one up.)

If that isn’t no-holds-barred enough for you, the fair also offers competitive yeast baking and scrapbooking.

curds, Kettle corn chased down with a Sundae from the dairy farmers booth. And seeing a calf being born. Once, while me and my wife were touring the cow barn, my keen eye detected a cow in labor (men’s intuition). I told the farmer who was close by and he put on a shoulder length glove to do a little probing, He confi rmed with a YUP, it won’t be long now. Sure enough, an hour or so later a calf was born right in front of us. That was cool.—Jeff Chapman, Victoria

The Extreme Dog Show. Fabulous, 42. Robb’s Popcorn/cotton candy stand. The 63. beautiful, smart dogs.—Unsie Zuege,

20. Ear cornucopia Humming alpacas, clattering tractors, coarse midway barkers. Nothing beats the soothing sounds of a county fair.

THRESHERS FESTIVAL

Fit to a T Threshers build Model T garage with I-35 parts

See the engines Head to the Scott Carver Threshers Festival, and you may feel you’ve jumped back in time.

BY DAVID SCHUELLER dschueller@swpub.com

Waste not, want not.

When giant forms used to make the concrete pillars of the new Interstate 35W bridge showed up at an auction across the street from the Scott Carver Threshers’ land, members seized an opportunity.

They bought more than 20 of the forms made of plywood and boards, each measuring about 8 feet by 40 feet.

Threshers club members took them apart, and used the plywood in a new building that will open at this year’s Scott Carver Threshers Festival, held Aug. 5-7 in St. Lawrence Township, near Jordan.

Scott Carver Threshers members take interest in engines, tractors, old automobiles, and other oldtime items that they collect, sometimes restore, and show at the festival.

For member Stan Riegert of Eden Prairie, the new shop is a dream come true. He said he’s wanted a Model T shop since he joined the club in 1989.

“I’m thrilled to death – never felt better about something in my life,” Riegert said. “It’s really going to be pretty, really going to be nice inside, when I get it all done.”

Last week, members were adding the finishing touches

What: 48th annual Scott Carver Threshers Festival, including old-time engines When: 7 a.m.-10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Aug. 5-6; 7 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 7 Where: 7151 W. 190th St. Lawrence Township, near Jordan Cost: $8 for the weekend, children under 12 free Info: (952) 492-2062 or scottcarverthreshers.org

to the building. Four or five members who are near or in their 70s spent the past year building the garage, along with the occasional help of eight or 10 other members.

Scott Carver Threshers member Dallas Plekkenpol of Shakopee was one of the handful of members who put the most time into the new garage.

“It was fun. A lot of work, but fun,” Plekkenpol said.

He said the club used the plywood for the garage, and used the boards to replace the floorboards in wagons.

“We took it all apart, salvaged every bit of it,” Plekkenpol said.

And those weren’t the only uses of the forms, which included treated plywood.

“A lot of guys bought them and took them up North, set them down, and built cabins on them,” Plekkenpol said.

Gas pumps, old collectibles and Model T automobiles, and other items of interest are planned for this Model T garage, which will open at the Scott Carver Threshers Festival.

RISE OF THE AUTO The allure of the Model T may be that it was one of the first cars available for a large number of people to buy for a reasonable price.

“That got them to town a little faster. When they wanted to go visiting, they didn’t have to be freezing so long,” Plekkenpol said.

The Model T garage came about nicely for Riegert, who was bound and determined to get one done at some point.

“I always wanted a Model T shop. Either I was going to build it at my house or somewhere along the road somewhere,” Riegert said.

Riegert plans to show his Model T, which has suicide doors that gave medics an easier in-out, he said.

“I have a 1923 Model T doctor’s coupe,” Riegert said.

About 15 Model T cars will be rolling to the new garage, from collectors around the greater Twin Cities area.

Many of them drive to the show in their old-time cars.

But don’t expect to see them on Highway 169. Their top speed is usually around 40 or 45 mph – perfect gawking speed.

“People, actually, if they see them, they’ll pull over and let these guys by and look at them,” Riegert said.

This model beat all the real ones to the garage. About 15 Model T autos are heading to the Scott Carver Threshers Festival, and will be in the parade, too.

Even a subtle change in your smile can make a dramatic difference.

Dental Veneers are an excellent cosmetic remedy for a variety of dental conditions that affect the appearance of the front teeth.

victoria TOWN SQUARE City considers sign options to raise awareness

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

What will it take to change Victoria commuters’ behavior?

How about a sig n at the intersection of Highway 5 and Bavaria Road/Rolling Acres Road? Or, how about a digital sig n with alternating messages about upcoming community events? Or modifying the current Welcome to Victoria monument sited off Highway 5 near the Stieger Lake Lane turnoff?

What will it take to increase Victoria residents’ participation in Concerts in the Park, Tour de Stieger, Volksfest, the Lions Pancake Breakfast and Vics Baseball?

You can build a sign but will they come?

According to Randy Miller, president of the Victoria Business Owners Association, there are 11 entry points into the city of Victoria, including the LRT trail directly into the downtown, but none of them are being capitalized on.

The Victoria City Council discussed several facets of signage at its July 25 meeting.

What initially was a request by the business community for downtown business directory sign “morphed” into a broader consideration of how to promote and publicize the city’s community events.

The staff recommendation

PHOTO BY UNSIE ZUEGE

Will a sign at the intersection of Highway 5 and Bavaria Road/Rolling Acres help change people’s driving habits and encourage better attendance at community events downtown and at Lions Park? was to install a monument type of sign at the southwest corner of Highway 5 and Bava ria Road/Rolling Acres Road.

“We have a lot of things going on in town that people don’t know about,” City Administrator Uram said. “In today’s society, we have to catch people in the moment.”

Councilor Roden questioned the recommendation.

“With all the social networking, Twitter, Facebook, we need to do this?” Roden asked.

“Will the sign save us? No,” Uram said. “But it’s another

way to get information out to our residents.”

Community Development Director Holly Kreft explained that city newsletters, community newspapers and other information vehicles are either published and distributed quarterly, monthly or weekly.

“It’s the timeliness factor,” Kreft said, “and based on traffic counts, this is one of our most heavily traveled roadways.”

But Councilor Tom O’Connor was wary of placing signage at the recommended intersection, pointing out that the speed on

Highway 5 is 55 mph, too fast for anyone to safely read the sign.

“It’s another distraction at that intersection that already has problematic traffic patterns and speed,” O’Connor said. “You have six seconds to view the sign if you’re traveling at 55 mph. The Klein Bank and St. Victoria signs are appropriate,” he added. “I can’t support this.”

Mayor Mary Hershberger Thun concluded the council’s lengthy discussion by stating “I know signs work, and I am definitely going to vote for a

sign to be placed there.”

She added that a sign at that location could not only highlight local events in the city, but also provide information to commuters about the Highway 5 detour through Victoria in 2012, directing commuters to use the Stieger Lake Lane route through downtown.

She made a motion, seconded

by Councilor Jim Crowley. The motion failed 2-3. Hershberger Thun and Crowley voted yes; Roden, O’Connor and Strigel voted no.

“I think it’s in the wrong

location,” Roden said. But she said she could support testing a portable sign at Highway 5 and Bavaria Road/Rolling Acres Road, and getting data on modifying the current Welcome to Victoria monument with an electronic sign, which staff was directed to do.

City’s express library receives national award Victoria Express Library was recog nized by the National Association of Counties (NACo), a national organization representing county governments across America. NACo presented the 2011 Achievement Award to Carver County for its Victoria Express Library and the Oak Grove City Center, a joint project with the City of Norwood Young America and

the Carver County Community Development Agency (CDA).

Each earned recognition as effective and creative programs that demonstrate Carver County’s work to provide quality and efficient government.

NACo recognized the “Victoria Express Library” as an innovative pilot project that extends useful and cost-effective library services to the residents

This project, the first of its kind in Minnesota, was funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in cooperation with State Library Services, a division of the Minnesota Department of Education, and was awarded to Carver and Washington County Libraries in 2009.

The “Victoria Express Library” is located within the City of Victoria Recreation Center and provides citizens the ability to pick up and return library materials they have reserved using the library website: www.carverlib.org.

Over 115 citizens utilized this express service between July and December 2010, prompting the Library to install a second “Express Library” location within the City of Cologne’s City Hall.

“Our communities are seeing substantial growth and we need to fi nd solutions to meeting the demands of such growth,” said Carver County Board Chair Randy Maluchnik. “The Victoria Express Library provides increased access to services in a cost efficient manner and has been a tremendous success.”

NACo also recognized the Carver County CDA’s collaborative efforts with the Oak Grove City Center Redevelopment Project completed in Oc-

tober of 2010. Using the site of the former Oak Grove Dairy, which ceased operations in 2004, the Carver County Community Development Agency (CDA) partnered with the City of Norwood Young America to redevelop the blighted site and stimulate activity within its Central Business District.

The new mixed-use facility houses a new Carver County Library, the Norwood Young America City Hall, 50 senior apartments operated by the Carver County CDA, as well as a County Sheriff’s office.

“This project was truly a cooperative venture, combining four separate projects into one, and will benefit the community over the long-term,” said Carver County Commissioner James Ische.

NACo is in its 42nd year of the Achievement Awards prog ram, and praised the Victoria Express Library and Oak Grove City Center each as “an effective and innovative program which contributes to and enhances county government in the United States.”

The Victoria Recreation Center’s summer hours are Monday through Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. and weekends from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. For more information please call Chanhassen Library at (952) 227-1500 or check online at www.carverlib.org.

CHASKA CUBS

Loss refocuses top seed

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

L on g t i me C h a sk a C ub s manager John Seifert called Sunday’s 4-3 loss to Victoria one of the “worst” defeats of his life.

“If you lose, 10-0, you should have lost. Up 3-0 in the eighth inning, you should win,” Seifert said.

Having held Victoria scoreless for the fi rst 14 innings of the best-of-five series and with ace Ryan Seifert on the mound, Chaska appeared well on their way to a 2-0 series lead.

The Vics, however, had other plans, scoring four runs on four hits, taking game two 4-3.

“We had two misplayed balls in the outfield. They weren’t easy catches. We get one of those and maybe it changes the inning,” John Seifert said.

Chaska had taken a 3-0 lead with a solo run in the fi fth inning on back-to-back doubles from Erik Duzan and Greg Lane and then added a pair of runs in the seventh inning.

Kyle Geason hit a solo home run to give Chaska a 2-0 lead.

Ryan Seifert, who struck out 10 batters over eight innings, took the loss.

One thing Sunday’s loss did, though, was awake the Chaska bunch.

“I f a ny t hi ng it made us think, maybe we’re not as good as we think. They are a dangerous team,” the manager said of Victoria. “They have three or four guys that can put it out of the park.”

Not wanting to go down a game with the fourth meeting scheduled for tonight (Thursday) in Victoria, Chaska looked like a refocused group Tuesday.

The Cubs regained the lead in the series with a 1-0 win.

Craig Gralapp continued his dominance over Victoria with eight shutout innings for the victory. In his last three starts against the Vics, Gralapp has allowed one run in 21 innings of work.

In Tuesday’s win, he gave up four hits with three strikeouts on only four days rest.

Chaska got the lone run of the game in the third inning as Eric Oscarson scored on Cory Glieden’s sacrifice fly. Oscarson had reached on an infield single and moved to third base on an

Chaska shortstop Tony Lane applied the tag to a Prior Lake runner on a pick-off throw for an out in a recent game with the Jays. The Cubs are in the middle of a best-of-five playoff series with Victoria. errant pick-off attempt.

Justin Johnson led the Cubs with two of the team’s five hits.

It was Gralapp who helped Chaska grab the first game of the series 11-0 July 29. He pitched six scoreless innings, while the offense led by Cory Poppitz’s three-hit night did the rest. In total, the Cubs belted out 14 hits – four extra-base knocks – for the seven-inning victory.

Chaska can clinch the series and a berth into Sunday’s seeding round at Athletic Park with a win tonight (Thursday).

The beginning of August can be a sports editor’s abyss.

Summer sports wind down and the fall high school sports season is still a few weeks away. Finding stories can be a task at times.

But it appears as if there will be no shortage of activity the next few weeks. Both the Chaska Cubs and Chanhassen Red Birds remain alive in the playoffs.

The Cubs had a remarkable 14-game winning streak snapped a week ago by twotime Class A champions Minnetonka. And while Chaska allowed Victoria life in the best-of-five series with a lateinning loss Sunday, the Cubs are still in good position to win the series and advance to the Super Sections Aug. 12-14 at Athletic Park.

The Red Birds were on the brink of elimination following a 7-0 loss to Arlington July 22.

But the Chanhassen squad won three straight games, including an extra-inning win over Le Sueur to reach the region playoffs for the second straight year.

Chanhassen opens the Region 6C bracket on the road in St. Peter on Friday.

While the action on the baseball diamond is drawing plenty of cheers, personally, life in general has been a whirlwind of excitement.

On July 23, I said ‘I Do’ to my wife, Janelle, in a wedding in West St. Paul. Now we’re moving into a new place and getting our 8-year-old ready for third grade.

VFW BASEBALL

Playoff run ends in district finals

Swimmers from the WEST Express club swimming team cheered on teammate Josh Wuflestad, 12, as he attempted to swim under the state cut at a recent meet in Mankato. Wuflestad did reach his goal, securing a spot into the state meet, which was run last weekend in Minneapolis. It did take until after the regular meet for the youth swimmer to qualify. He reached the state cut during the time-trials portion of the event.

Super showing at meet The WEST Express swim team had a super showing at the ABC Finals Meet in Mankato the weekend of July 22-24. The team sent 41 swimmers to the meet that saw warm and humid temperatures, but fast swim times. Many of the swimmers achieved all-time best performances.

Kirsten Augdahl, Peter Augdahl, Gus Currie, Sean Donnelly, Katie Ridler, Amy Taylor and Josh Wuflestad all made state qualifying times at the meet. They joined team-

Rob Jeppson has worked all across the Twin Cities area from Apple Valley to White Bear Lake to North Minneapolis. For the past year his services were employed in Chaska.

When Chaska High School Athletic Director Troy Stein offered him a job of coaching the local VFW baseball team, he jumped at the opportunity.

“I love coaching year-round,” said Jeppson, who assisted varsity football and basketball at CHS, while coaching the sophomore baseball team.

Jeppson guided the VFW baseball team to a sub-district championship and a secondplace finish at the district tournament this past weekend in Sleepy Eye. Eagan was the only team to beat Chaska the past two weekends.

“They were in a different league than everybody else. I was talking with their coaches and they thought they’d win state. They had a ton of pitching.

All of their guys were my height or bigger,” said Jeppson, who stands at six feet, two inches.

Chaska won the district opener July 28 in thrilling fashion 4-3 over New Ulm Junior Legion.

Isaac Tewes a nd Bret t Thompson each had hits with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning. With the winning run 90 feet away, Dean Rinnan hit the first-pitch offering to deep center field for the walkoff victory.

Rinnan, who along with

The club is sending a record number of swimmers to the state meet this year. In total, 17 swimmers swam in a total of 76 individual swims. The team also had 23 relay team entries at state. The state meet was held July 28-31 at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center.

The Chaska VFW baseball team went 7-2 during the past two weekends to place second in the Second District VFW Tournament. Chaska lost to state-bound Eagan 11-1 in the championship game. The team is, front row from left, Tony Kjolsing, Taylor Murphy, Riley Sweeney and Jacob Ostby; back row, Isaac Tewes, Dean Rinnan, Mitch Kirchoff, Danny Peters, Dylan Johnson, Mitch Rydeen, Jack Wickstrom, Brett Thompson and Coach Rob Jeppson.

Tony Kjolsing saw action on the Chaska varsity team in the spring, threw a complete game and allowed three runs on five hits with two strikeouts.

Chaska won the secondround game with Hutchinson, scoring five runs in the fi rst inning and holding on for the 6-3 win.

Eagan, who came into the tournament with a record of 35-4-1, knocked Chaska into the losers’ bracket with a 10-0 win. Following a victory over Hutchi nson, 4 -2 , i n which Chaska scored the final four runs late in the game, Eagan

clinched the district title 11-1 on Sunday.

“I think we had two hits in each game with Eagan. It’s tough to win with two hits,” Jeppson said.

Chaska finished the summer with a record of 19-10. Jeppson said the team won a league title and ran the table with four straight wins at the sub-district tournament in Shakopee July 21-24.

“We outscored our opponents 33-2 in the four games.

It was a great weekend,” the coach said.

Along with Rinnan, Kjolsing

was one of the top players this summer. Moving from third base to shortstop for the VFW squad, Kjolsing was a key contributor at the plate and in the field.

“It was nice to have both of those guys on the team. They had opportunities to play on Legion, but they chose to play with us,” Jeppson said.

Chaska had eight juniors-tobe and four sophomores-to-be for a roster of 12.

Ashford University is located in Clinton, Iowa. The Saints compete in the Midwest Collegiate Conference (NAIA).

Run or walk for a good cause You can run or walk a scenic, 3.1-mile course and help fight domestic abuse at the same time by participating in the inaugural Boots & Boas 5K Run/Walk at 9 a.m. Sept. 10 at Purgatory

Creek Park in Eden Prairie.

The event is sponsored by Savvy.mn magazine, the Eden Prairie News, St. Francis Regional Medical Center and a number of other local businesses.

A pre-race 50-yard “dash” in boots and boas will be held as a photo opportunity and to make people more aware of the good work of two organizations working to end domestic violence: Cornerstone, which serves southwestern Hennepin County, and the Southern Valley Alliance for Battered Women, which serves Scott and Carver counties.

“The name of the event and the fact that a share of proceeds will go to Cornerstone and Southern Valley Alliance make it sound as if Boots & Boas is just a women’s event,” said Mark Weber, publisher of the Eden Prairie News newspaper. “It’s not. This is a fun event that men and children will love too, and a way for them to show support for two organizations that are doing great work.”

Early-bird registration (before Aug. 20) costs $25 per person. After that the fee goes to $30; raceday registration is $35. You can register online at active.com (type in Boots & Boas), which charges a small administrative fee. Or, download an entry form at www.savvy.mn or www.scoreboard.mn.

More information about the race is available on Facebook. You can also call 952-445-3333 or e-mail Mark Weber at mweber@swpub.com.

U2

from the

cheap

seats I

BY KARLA WENNERSTROM editor@edenprairienews.com

wasn’t looking up Bono’s nostrils like my co-worker Lori Carlson, but from the cheap seats, I pondered a few of my favorite moments from the U2 concert, the first major concert at TCF Bank Stadium at the University of Minnesota.

1) Minnesota, hats off to thee – For a first concert, this was on fire! It was fun to see Bronko Nagurski’s name in huge letters behind the head of the lead singer from the opening act, Interpol.

A friend added on her Facebook page: “Ski-U2-Mah!” 2) The claw – The giant claw, which I half expected to rain down a firestorm a la “Independence Day,” led those in the stands behind me to riff on claws in general. My favorite?

Their discussion of Baron von Raschke’s “brainclaw” wrestling move.

3) The rain – Watching the band power through the howling wind and stinging rain to continue performing was awe-inspiring.

Another friend wrote that as soon as the rain started, it was like we were all in a music video – but do they make music videos anymore?

My husband commented, “This is actually a nice day in Ireland.”

4) The shirt – The audience was awed when Adam Clayton removed his shirt to reveal a well-sculpted 51-year-old. The downside? Several concert-goers nearby took this as a cue to also remove their shirts.

5) Purple Rain – Bono sang snippets of rain-related lyrics throughout the show, even paying homage to Prince with a little “Purple Rain.”

A view from the writer’s cheap seats includes the 150-foot metal claw and Bono on the big screen.

Reliving their first concert experiences The U2 concert on July 23 led us to ask about first concert you ever attended. I’ll show my age and admit that the first band I saw in concert was “Chicago,” and I promptly developed a crush on one of the trombone players.

Here are some of the responses we received:

At the concert we saw one of my neighbors who also went to school with us. She looked surprised to see me, I don’t think she knew I listened to Poison. There was also some perceived “rebellion” in the mix that night: I got home from the concert quite late, because the three of us had a misunderstanding on where to meet my friend’s mom after the show. We had a great time and even though it was my first concert, this was the second to last concert that I went to at the Met Center before it got torn down. The site of the Met Center became part of the Mall of America/Mall of America parking.”

Michelle Wallin – “My first concert was the band Poison with special guest Britny Fox on Nov. 4, 1988, at the Met Center in Bloomington.

(Britny Fox was an 80s “hair” band similar to Poison.) I was SUBMITTED PHOTO 14½ years old, in Lori Carlson – “My Michelle Wallin at about ninth grade and I first concert ever was the time of the concert attended the show The Jets with opener with two other Limited Warranty at friends from the MN State Fair. I’m my junior high school. My friend’s sure I wore something along the mom gave us a ride to the show. I lines of stirrup pants with a baggy think I wore a Poison jersey with shirt and some big earrings (and three-quarter sleeves that I ordered bigger bangs). My favorite Jets song through the mail, though I am not was “Crush on You.” I was also a certain. I just remember it was big Limited Warranty fan. I loved already cold outside. My favorite “Victory Line.” Luckily, I don’t think song was absolutely, “Every Rose any photos were taken of me in my Has Its Thorn.” I held up a pink concert garb.” lighter during the song – isn’t that what you’re supposed to do during Leah Shaffer – “My first concert a ballad? That song actually topped wasn’t until freshman year of the Billboard Pop Charts that winter. college. I got to see the Smashing

Pumpkins on their final tour. Great show at the Granada in Lawrence, Kan. I stood in line in the wee hours of one frozen morning with my boyfriend (and future husband) to get tickets for the show …”

Meryn Fluker – “My first official concert (not including kids’ shows like the Chenille Sisters, who were amazing) actually has local ties: When I was 13, I attended KDWB’s Last Chance Summer Dance at Canterbury Park in Shakopee.

The slate included memorable acts Blu Cantrell, American Hi-Fi and O-Town. Exactly. I remember having a total blast and being really excited to wear my tie-dyed Last Chance Summer Dance T-shirt at school the next day, because I was so cool. I can’t really remember any of the songs played at the concert (though I’m sure the acts played their respective hits: “Hit ’Em Up Style,” “Flavor of the Weak” and “Liquid Dreams”) but I remember feeling super mature, weird because I definitely recall my friend’s dad coming to pick us up at the end of the event. Luckily, no photos remain.”

Melissa Gilman – “I won tickets for the 1991 or 1992 Pixies concert at First Avenue from KJ104, which at the time was a super cool Twin Cities alternative music station. I was 14 and BEGGED my parents to let me go with my much older cousin. I promised I would never

“I promised I would never leave my home in the safe northern suburbs for scary Minneapolis EVER AGAIN if they just let me go to this ONE concert. They said yes.”

Melissa Gilman

leave my home in the safe northern suburbs for scary Minneapolis EVER AGAIN if they just let me go to this ONE concert. They said yes. I sucked in every smoke-filled moment of that amazing concert, bought the T-shirt and never went home again. So to speak.”

Anonymous – “July 4, 1990 - I had somehow convinced my dad that he was the perfect person to chaperon four 12-year-old girls at the New Kids on the Block concert at Harriet Island. I’m pretty sure I still owe him something for not only driving us three hours to get there but then sitting around ALL day long (in the rain) to wait for the concert to begin. To us, it was totally worth it. Tommy Page opened (of “I’ll Be Your Everything” fame) and I remember

my dad lifting me up so I could see his bright red shoes. Naturally, we exhausted ourselves screaming at/singing along to the New Kids’ songs. And suddenly it was all over.

As we walked back to the car the Fourth of July fireworks began.

I think the four of us were asleep in the car before my dad could make his way out of the metro. If I could remember where I stashed that picture of me in my super cool black and neon Hard Rock Cafe T-shirt and acid washed jean shorts, you would be enjoying that view right now.”

Anonymous – “I saw a lot of bands at the po-dunk Fox Lake Ballroom when I was in high school. I think I saw Litterer and Slave Raider more often than I saw my college-aged brother in those days. I remember begging my parents to let me go to the big city to see Motley Crue and Night Ranger (on separate occasions not one ticket). I think “Over my dead body” was exclaimed more than once. But, I think my first REAL concert was Britney Fox and Joan Jett on the Mankato State University campus when I was a senior in high school. But the one that really counts was going to Queensryche at the Fargo Civic; or was it Tesla at the Fargo Civic? My early concert experiences have kind of melted together until I get to Aerosmith at the Fargodome. Now that show I remember!”

*The fiscal disparities property tax law provides that the growth in commercial-industrial property tax values is shared throughout the area. In a tax increment financing district, this value sharing can either result in a tax increase for other properties in the municipality or result in a decrease in tax increment financing district revenue depending on how the tax increment financing district is established **The districts noted by ** above do not share growth in commercial-industrial property tax values. This results in an increase in property taxes for other properties located in this municipality. For taxes payable in 2010, this increase in taxes on other properties amounted to the values listed above.

Learn a language through the library I want to make sure everyone knows about these services, because I was chatting with my husband who it turns out is surprisingly uniformed about the library databases and services.

Language learning: We used to have a digital version of Rosetta Stone, but now we have BYKI, an innovative way to learn languages online.

This is an option on our database list. You access the library databases from the web site, www.carverlib.org, choose Research tools, then databases.

Accessing them from home you need to click on the blue remote access link beneath each database description.

You will need to enter your last name, library card number and PIN. Once you are on the BYKI page, you need to create an account, and there are hundreds of languages, ranging from A frikaans to Zulu, including help learning English for native speakers of over 17 languages.

Consumer Reports: You can get full text articles from Consumer Reports magazine from Master fi le Premier, an option for full text magazine articles on our database list.

Choose the advanced search featu re and put Consumer Reports on one of the lines and the subject you are searching for like washing machines on the other line. You can get this in formation on your home computer any time.

Downloadable E-books and E-audiobooks: BIG changes are in the works, watch this space.

Commissioner Ische highlighted LaVonne Kroells past service as Norwood Young America’s Mayor and City Council member as well as her volunteer service with the Legion Auxiliary, Heritage and Preservation Society, Lions and her church. He noted her recent retirement after 35 years of serving the American Red Cross and read into the record a certificate that recognized her leadership and thanked her for assisting others in a caring and dedicated manner.

Ms. Kroells thanked the Board for their support in the past and stated she would be continuing as a volunteer with the blood program and disaster program. She pointed out her new work with the Norwood Young America Heritage and Preservation Society and invited them to the Smithsonian traveling exhibit that will tie in with the upcoming Stiftungsfest celebration.

The Board thanked her for her hard work over the years.

Dave Hemze, County Administrator, appeared before the Board to discuss impacts of the State shut down. He stated they anticipated short term impacts to be minimal, however there was more uncertainty with the long term impacts if the shut down continues. Hemze explained a few Division Directors would update the Board on their services and he would be asking the Board to take action to allow staff some flexibility to deal with these uncertainties.

Bill Weckman, Public Works, reviewed a list of road projects and explained the impacts. He identified the projects that may be held up or delayed until next year.

Mark Lundgren, Taxpayer Services, explained the Service Centers can do everything they normally do with the exception of game and fishing licenses and driver’s license testing. He noted the decreased revenue for the driver’s license aspect but anticipated recovering that once the shut down has ended. He stated the length of the shut down would determine the problems they have.

Lundgren also pointed the potential problems with the TNT notices if the shut down continues.

Gary Bork, Community Social Services, noted the list of services identified as critical that are being appealed and indicated they are waiting for the Court’s decisions.

He pointed out the entangled funding that included County, State and Federal funds that complicates matters. Bork stated they were reminded by the State that counties must comply with State Statutes and provide mandated services. He referenced grants and related staff impacts.

Bork explained the two State funded grant programs and stated he would be recommending discontinuing the Family Support grant August 1st.

Hemze stated the impacts needed to be managed to limit the financial exposure. He explained he was asking the Board to adopt basic principles and reviewed the proposed guidelines.

Degler moved, Workman seconded, to adopt the following basic principles relating to the State of Minnesota government shut down: a.

To the maximum extent possible, avoid exposing Carver County taxpayers to additional costs and financial risk due to state budget action (or inaction). b.

Comply with the law as defined by the State and its courts.

Motion carried unanimously.

Hemze stated the next motions he was asking the Board to adopt related to broader principles and relates to the uncertainty as they move ahead with Special Master

decisions.

Ische moved, Lynch seconded, to authorize the County Administrator or his designee to reduce and reinstate staffing levels due to State shut down related funding changes.

Motion carried unanimously.

Ische moved, Degler seconded, to suspend Family Support Payments beginning August 1 and to delegate the authority to reinstate these payments to the County Administrator or his designee upon re-establishment of State funding.

Motion carried unanimously.

Krogman highlighted the proposed involuntary unpaid leave of absence policy that provides for involuntary staff leave instead of layoff. She requested the Board approve the memorandum of understanding related to the policy and the change to the Personnel Policy Manual.

Ische moved, Degler seconded, to adopt proposed Involuntary Unpaid Leave of Absence memorandum of understanding with affected County unions and related changes to the Personnel Policy Manual (PPM). Motion carried unanimously.

Lynch moved, Degler seconded, to adjourn the Regular Session at 10:14 a.m. and go into a work session with Ted Mondale, presenting on the Greater Minneapolis St. Paul Economic Development Partnership, and for a Financial Services update on the 2012 budget strategy.

And several selections for grades 6-8: “G ett i ng A ir,” by Da n Gutman Oooh – a book about skateboarding. And by Dan Gutman, yet. And it is also about survival in the wilderness. After foiling a terrorist hijacking aboard their airplane, 14-yearold Jimmy, his younger sister, and two skateboarding friends crash-land the plane and try to survive in a forest wilderness until help arrives. Can three boys who are love skate parks and fast food survive in the wilderness? Did any of the other passengers on the plane live through the crash?

“Anything but Typical,”

by Nora Baskin Jason Blake is autistic, and 12 years old. He fi nally fi nds a friend online, Phoenixbird, who posts stories to the same online site that he does. Phoenixbird is actually Rebecca, and she may be his fi rst real friend. Jason is anxious to meet her, but what if all she can see is his autism?

“Stolen Children,” by Peg Kehret Amy has taken babysitting classes and has learned how to bathe a baby, simple fi rst aid, and tips for a happy bedtime.

But the class did not cover how to deal with two thugs intent on kidnapping the baby. Amy is taken by the kidnappers along with Kendra, the baby, and plots how the two of them can escape.

You will love spunky Amy.

REVIEWS “The Help,” by Kathryn Stockett (Donated by a member of a book club in Waconia.) Be prepared to meet three unforgettable women: Twenty-two-year-

old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her fi nger.

Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone. Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her 17 white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way.

She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.

Minny, Aibileen’s best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi.

She can cook like nobody’s business, but she can’t mind her tongue, so she’s lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own.

Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.

“My Life in France,” by Julia Child (Donated by a book club in Chaska.) Here is the captivating story of Julia Child’s years in France, where she fell in love with French food and found “her true calling.”

From the moment she and her husband Paul, who worked

for the USIS, arrived in the fall of 1948, Julia had an awakening that changed her life.

Soon this tall, outspoken gal from Pasadena, Calif., who didn’t speak a word of French and knew nothing about the country, was steeped in the language, chatting with purveyors in the local markets, and enrolled in the Cordon Bleu.

She teamed up with two fellow gourmettes, Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, to help them with a book on French cooking for Americans.

Filled with her husband’s beautiful black-and-white photographs as well as family snapshots, this memoir is laced with wonderful stories about the French character, particularly in the world of food, and the way of life that Julia embraced so wholeheartedly.

“The dog who came in from the cold,” by Alexander McCall Smith Part of the “Corduroy Mansions” series, set in London.

William French’s adorable and smart Pimlico Terrier Freddie is needed by MI6, much to William’s astonishment. Will he be safe? Will the relationship between James and Caroline comes to a head. Dee takes a very unusual business risk – but will it pay off?

Berthea Snark visits her bother Terence Moongrove at their family home, and has a difficult time trying to get rid of a couple of new age grifters taking advantage of Terence’s hospitality. This is another delightful book by McCall Smith.

How on earth does he do it?

Wolfbauer, Oprosko intern in Chaska Two Chaska High School students, Amanda Wolfbauer and Jenni Oprosko are interning for the Chaska businesses Diversitypromotions.com and Embrace Publications.

The businesses, run by company partners Dr. Leo and Julie Parvis, promote diversity through educational materials and an Embrace Diversity logo product line.

The interns are working on a variety of different projects, including compiling book information for a couple new books, writing articles, conducting research on related topics, creating and maintaining databases, working on videos, website creation, and different kinds of marketing, according to a press release.

“I’m excited to learn more about the world of marketing and prepare for my future. There is so much out there to learn about marketing and the amount

of information keeps growing, which is what I think is the most exciting part,” said Oprosko.

“I took this internship because I feel like it will help me get ahead in my career and be a jump start for things I’ll learn in the future. So far I’ve learned tons of things about diversity, internet marketing, and relationships with customers,” said Wolfbauer Emily Mattran, with the CHS Career Resource Center, a n nou nced t he i nter nship opportunity and encouraged recommendations from the teachers. Julie Parvis interviewed the two applicants and hired both after fi nding they were friends who had worked together before on DECA projects, the release stated.

“I knew we had enough work to keep us all busy, and both students had excellent backgrounds to match our needs, plus there is a defi nite advantage in knowing they were friends and had already worked together on club and school projects, so it was a real coup to hire them both!” stated Julie Parvis.
