Order in the courthouse County considers government center security upgrades

JOIN THE CHAT VOICE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT COURTHOUSE SAFETY AT

www.chaskaherald.com

BY RICHARD CRAWFORD editor@chanvillager.com

In the wake of a courthouse shooting in Cook County, Minn., security at the Carver County Government Center has been more than watercooler conversation. On Tuesday, Carver County commissioners considered spending $75,000 to make some security enhancements at the Chaska campus as well as examine long-term security needs. The specific building improvements were discussed in a closed meeting allowed by state statutes to protect security. The meeting allowed county commissioners “to receive

security briefi ngs and reports, to discuss emergency response procedures and to discuss security deficiencies in or recommendations regarding public services, infrastructure and facilities at the County’s Government Center and Justice Center,” according to a staff report. The county staff is recommending hiring an architect to develop security proposals and to provide a longrange capital upgrade proposal. Even before the courthouse shooting in Grand Marais last month, building security had been a concern.

Taking a swing for sight Educational co-op wallows in debt

Benefit helps Carver boy

Cuts and fees may be on horizon

BY NICK MASON nicholascmason@comcast.net

Andrew Steines will be in the spotlight at noon Saturday with his new friends in the city of Carver. The 9-year-old boy will be the star of the Soggy Bottom III golf tournament, sponsored by the Carver Lions Club and Carver Fire & Rescue Department. “I get the fi rst swing. That is awesome,” he said. Andrew will open the 18 -hole tournament with a ceremonial shot, hitting a yellow tennis ball with a hockey stick. He was given that honor because the third annual Soggy Bottom event was crafted to raise money to pay some of his expensive vision tests. Andrew is a typical boy in many ways, but his vision is becoming limited because of a macular problem fi rst noticed last fall. “I’ve been seeing Andrew as a regular patient since 2009,” said Chaska optometrist Dr. Stacey Ulrick. “At his last exam in October 2011, I noticed his vision had decreased. He was not seeing 20-20 anymore. He was two lines down on the eye chart, about 20-30. It’s not usual for a young person to have a vision decrease like that. “When I looked inside his eyes, I did see a change I hadn’t noticed in prior years,” she said. “The change was in the look of the macula. It’s part of the retina that is your central vision area. It has the highest concen-

disorder. “Most people do not go completely blind, but just lose a significant amount of vision,” Rachael Steines said, of retinitis pigmentosa.

Dramatic cuts, a building sale and district user fees could be on the horizon for a local educational cooperative that’s running $1 million in the red. The Carver-Scott Educational Cooperative, headquartered in Chaska, includes programs such as alternative learning centers, special education, adult education, technical and career education and family classes. The co-op is in statutory operating debt (SOD), a serious budget situation that could force member districts, including District 112, to make changes or even help pay. “We’re not just in statutory operating debt. We’re hunkered down,” said Executive Director Darren Kermes. The debt, caused by billing errors made during a number of years, came to light in the past couple years, and puts more pressure on executing a planned merger between CarverScott and the Minnesota River Valley Special Education Cooperative (MRVSEC), based in Jordan. Kermes, who last year became the top administrator for both cooperatives, said billing mistakes dealing with special education teachers

What is SOD? The Minnesota Department of Education defines SOD as the following: Districts and charter schools exceed their expenditure limitations when their net unreserved general fund operating fund balance (NUGFB) at year end (June 30) is a negative amount that exceeds 2.5 percent of their unreserved/undesignated operating expenditures. Units that exceed this operating debt limitation are in statutory operating debt (SOD). How in the red is the CarverScott Educational Cooperative? It’s at about a 12 percent negative amount, according to Executive Director Darren Kermes.

Flat enrollment projected for schools Different work Study forecasts no growth for 10 years BY CHUCK FRIEDBAUER friedchu@yahoo.com

A recent demographic study projects total K-12 enrollment in District 112 schools to be flat over the next 10 years. With a 2011-12 enrollment of approximately 9,0 0 0 students, the study forecasts the total enrollment in 2021-22 to be between 8,925 and 9,123 students. A number of factors led to the projection, said Hazel Reinhardt of Hazel Reinhardt Consulting Services, who performed the study.

“New housing units will not be substantial enough to drive growth here as it has in the past and the number of [local] births have declined in the past several years,” said Reinhardt. The study also forecasted enrol lment by District 112 school buildings using current attendance areas. “ T he fore c a st i nd ic ates Ch a n h a ssen Element a r y School enrollment will decline by 16 percent and Pioneer Ridge Middle School will decline by 18 percent over the next five years,” said Reinhardt. “Clover Ridge and Bluff Creek Elementary Schools continue to show small enrollment increases as do the high schools.” Superintendent Jim Bauck said the elementary school enrollment trends will require further examination.

“Clover Ridge, Victoria and East Union Elementary schools are all at or over capacity now, while others are not,” he said. “That is one critical piece we need to re-examine.” The study is the first part of the district’s long term facility planning. Bauck said the district will update its facility plan by this summer after a series of meetings with staff, parents and students to be scheduled this winter and spring at Chaska and Chanhassen High Schools. “Using all this in formation, the school board will take approximately four to six months to discuss how to position the district over the next five years,” said Bauck. “The goal is to make these decisions re-grading items like programming and attendance areas in about one year from now

to implement for the 2013-14 school year.”

TRIMESTERS District officials are planning a few changes to the middle school programming, as part of the secondary redesign initiative implemented three years ago. One change includes eliminating six-week classes in favor of more traditional trimester courses. Another would be to allow all students to take two music classes at the same time. An Information Technology Class previously offered in ninth-grade will be offered in sixth-grade and move the World Language Exploratory class to eighth-grade. District officials will bring the changes to the school board for approval at an upcoming board meeting.

Chaska Public Works crews have taken advantage of a relatively snowless winter to tackle flood control improvements. Last year, between Nov. 14, 2010 and Jan. 11, 2011, Chaska Public Works had some sort of “snow operation” 28 times, where crews were out plowing main roads or sanding the streets, according to Public Works Superintendent Tim Wiebe. By Jan. 11 last year, the crews had also plowed all the city streets at least nine times and hauled snow five times. Compare that to the same period this year, when crews only had four snow operations – with one full city plow and no snow hauling. A mild winter or a wild winter doesn’t necessarily impact the Public Works budget, unless the previous winter was similar. “I think it’s really important for the public to understand our budget cycle is from January to Dec. 31,” Wiebe said. In 2011, Public Works only used 80 percent of its snow removal budget. A large portion of the budget is labor. If crews aren’t busy plowing, they’ll work on other needed improvements, such as street, park and storm water maintenance, Wiebe said.

Hazelden will open its ninth treatment facility in Chaska this spring.

Beholding power of social media Last year was historic for social media. Yes, grandparents across the country see their grandkids ride their bikes minutes after it happens, or your high school classmate in Phoenix can find out that you just won $100 in the lottery faster than Charlie Sheen can say “WINNING!” But more importantly, the “killer app” of social media has become more than just a tool for families, friends, and geeks-turnedentrepreneurs. It has become a tool for social, economic, and political change. In 2011 alone, let’s look a few key events that will go down in history as ones enabled or catapulted into the global spotlight because of social media: Revolt in Tunisia: In December 2010, the Sidi Bouzid revolts (also known as the “Jasmine Revolution” in Western media or the “Dignity Revolution” in Tunisia) was initiated through calls for support by Tunisian activists on the Twitter account “Twitter for Bouazizi.” The initial protests and strikes resulted in the ousting and exile of President Ben Ali by Jan. 14, 2011. Revolt in Egypt: The successful ousting of the leader inspired disenfranchised citizens in Egypt to launch their own similar social media rebellion. Mark Levin, professor of history at UC Berkeley stated that the revolt in Tunisia was, “inspiring people ... to take to the streets and warn their own sclerotic and autocratic leaders that they could soon face a similar fate.” Following a similar chain of social medial-fueled rebellion in Egypt, President Hosni Mubarak stepped down on Feb. 11. Revolt in Libya: Following the momentum of change in Tunisia and Egypt, riots against the Libyan government and General Muammar Gaddafi, organized through Twitter and Facebook, broke out on Feb. 17. This resulted in a civil war and the subsequent capture and death of Gaddafi on Oct. 20. Occupy Wall Street: The Canadian group anti-consumerist group “Adbusters Foundation” leveraged Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr, to organize the first Occupy protest in Zuccotti Park in New York City. Since its genesis, the protests have spread virally across the U.S., leveraging social media not only for organization, but for fundraising as well. Similar uprisings and protests leveraging social media as a tool (or weapon) of rapid, mass organization have since been occurring around the world – Yemen, Bahrain, Algeria, Iraq, Syria, Gabon, Kazakhstan and China. Even the U.S. has seen them this past year. One could argue that most, if not all, of these protests and revolutions were ripe to happen and would have occurred sooner or later. But the ongoing momentum and growth of the movements continued because of the ability to constantly communicate to a larger population and incite the masses to action. What is new to these protests is that technology has made it difficult for most of the sitting governments effectively mobilize force to quell the protests quickly. In the past, there might be a handful of protesters who would have been quickly “silenced.” In this day and age, a couple of hundred people show up like a flash mob in Grand Central Station. It is one thing to restrain a handful of protesters, but quite another to contain hundreds, if not thousands, who have all suddenly appeared and significantly outnumber police in the area. The obvious point here is that the power of social media is in the ability to rapidly mobilize a large, population into a critical mass event.

PROTESTS IN U.S. Similarly here in the U.S., social media is allowing consumers to gather, share their collective experiences and protest with their pocketbooks. For example:

Mike

HUANG COMMUNITY COLUMNIST

Bank of America: After announcing a $5 transaction fee for use of debit cards (which was similarly planned by other financial institutions), hoards of customers from coast to coast protested online by spreading the word and inciting customers to sign petitions and take their business elsewhere. A fee which may have only lost a handful of customers in the past now threatened to lose thousands or more – not to mention negative press and a precipitous drop in stock prices! Netflix: A July 12 fee hike, which upped prices 60 percent for some customers, was met with a furious resistance online. Thousands of customers fled the service, media news swirled, and share prices dropped by at least 15 percent. So, what’s the takeaway here? No, I am absolutely not condoning or encouraging civil unrest because Caribou is raising the price of coffee. Nor am I suggesting that anyone should launch an online protest because Chaska fire trucks are a rich burgundy instead of classic fireengine-red.

LESSONS But here are my takeaways from these lessons: Don’t underestimate the power of social media. Today’s online demonstration could be tomorrow’s revolution or national headline news. If you believe you were personally wronged (or righted) by a group, there are likely others who are in the same shoes as you. Finding others can force the hands of larger entities to change their tune. After all, business is about making money, organized consumers can be a scary – or very powerful – thing for a company. After all, part of the strength of Ford and Chevy as brands is built upon consumer loyalty and the willingness of their consumers to speak to their product loyalty. Learn what you can from the movements. Sure, there may be a product liability flap about the instability of instant noodle cups or the safety of red foursquare balls, but as with anything – do your homework! Don’t believe the rhetoric without doing your own homework independent of the protest group. If someone is saying that BigOldTwinCitiesBank is charging customers a “having pulse fee,” do some homework and find out the truth of the matter before joining the bandwagon. Good, bad, or otherwise, social media is a powerful tool for mass communications and change. For the masses, it is a mechanism to inform, and incite action. For sitting organizations, it is a tool by which public perception can be managed. We haven’t had an election yet in Chaska that was won on the basis of social media, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it happen in the next few years. But as we each see more news feeds and updates on Facebook, Twitter, and whatever the nextbig-thing is, our responsibility is to make sure that we’re jumping in eyes wide open, and fully aware of what we’re getting into and the potential for how powerful of a tool we’re using … and part of.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CAUCUSES

AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Fun and gratifying

Paradise vs. parking lot

For all Carver County Republicans, Tuesday, Feb. 7 is your chance to get involved in determining the future direction of our country. We will be holding our election year caucus on this date. At the caucus, we will be selecting delegates for our county convention to be held on March 3, 2012 and electing precinct officers for the next two years. You can run for delegate to this exciting and patriotic event or for a precinct officer position if you wish. We have allotted almost 400 delegate, and another 400 alternate, positions to the convention, so your chances should be good. Also at the caucus, you will have the opportunity to make proposals for party platform changes and to vote in a presidential straw poll. To be eligible to participate in the caucus, you must: Reside in your precinct on caucus day Be able to vote at the time of the next general election Agree with party principles Not have participated or intend to participate in another party’s precinct caucus this year If you meet these relatively simple requirements, we strongly encourage you to attend the caucus. The caucus for the Chaska area will be held at the Chaska Middle School East starting at 7 p.m. For other caucus locations or addresses, go to our website at carvergop.org or call me at home. I am in the Waconia phone book (old school huh?). Please consider attending this important democratic process. It should be fun and gratifying.

Regarding affordable housing, (“A f fordable housing is par t of ou r histor y,” Ja n. 1 2 ), I wou ld admonish Mr. Roepke to take his own advice – compare an apple to an apple. Chaska has a noteworthy history; however it has a diminishing relationship to our current situation. Discussion should include meeting the needs of those who currently live here, not those who may someday. Let’s maintain the environment that drew us here. Don’t we meet the needs of those who live here? With current foreclosure rates more affordable housing will drive down the value of existing homes. Uscitieslist.com, says Chaska has an 8.56 percent rental vacancy rate. Why build more until what we have is utilized? This logic allows more commercial development when downtown facilities languish. New businesses will undoubtedly receive tax breaks, creating additional burden. The city seems to discourage businesses that have been the backbone of our town. Randy’s, Ohnsorg and Chaska Farm and Garden, apparently weren’t old enough to have historical relevance in this discussion. The drive to make a more “pedestrian friendly” downtown appears to be killing the very downtown they are supposed to be saving. Current policy is moving the “center of town” a few miles north; lining the pockets of few, not favorable to small businesses. Actions are not supporting stated goals. Limited interests wi l l prof it from selling us a bill of goods we don’t want or need. Most people come here not for potential profits from reselling their home, but to

fi nd home and community to spend their lives. I am looking to save my community from unnecessar y bu rden. Affordable housing typically implies higher density. We do not need additional traffic, or taxes to improve an already adequate infrastructure. Current development plans are not going to feed the need for lower priced housing. The college, medical and biotech centers will not draw people that will need or want “affordable” housing. There is no apparent shortage of applicants for the existing jobs; shouldn’t existing residents fill those positions as it was pointed out they historically have? It’s no coincidence that the sump pump inspection was implemented at the time the Two Twelve Medical Center was built. Medical facilities consume large amounts of water. Our system is taxed now. Who will bear the cost of fi xing this shortcoming when the biotech center arrives and is not expected to fairly share this burden? Will the elite make obscene profits off of our good will and tax breaks? I hope the drive for these “improvements” is not because we are living a Ponzi scheme that requires the city to create more tax base. I am happy with our community. Where are we in need? We are already one of the 10 best cities to live. Mr. Roepke’s position would be detrimental and destroy what we are. Yes, as our leaders contemplate our past and future; reflect on how we have separated ourselves from the rest. We are not Chanhassen or Eden Prairie and I hope we never are. Let us not pave paradise to put up a parking lot.

Many wonderful things about dogs BY KYLIE HUANG

Dogs are wonderful pets. I know so myself because I have a dog named Bailey. She is an 11-yearold bichon/shih-tzu. She is a great pet because she’s a good protector, loyal, and fun. I want to tell other people about how I love having a dog, too. Sometimes, I wish more people had a dog. Some dogs are called “watch dogs.” They let you know if a stranger comes by barking. Some dogs, called “guard dogs” can protect you and your stuff from strangers by keeping the stranger away from it. They do this by growling and attacking. They can even do this when you are not home. Dogs are also very loyal. Most dogs are also very good

companions. Dogs love to spend time with you. They can also be very friendly. Dogs can be good friends and family members because we’re part of their pack and they’ll be there for us. Another thing Kylie that dogs are good Huang at is cheering you up, too. If you’re sad, or anxious or even mad, dogs will be there for you, as your friends. Dogs are very fun. First of all, dogs like to play with you. You can play fetch, tug-of-war, or some dogs will even lie on the couch and pretend like they’re playing “baby.” Dogs are also fun to train. You can teach them to go through

hoops, go around sticks (like an obstacle course). Some people think its fun to pet and snuggle with their dogs, and sometimes even take a nap with them. Even though most families can get a dog, for some families a dog may not be the best pet because dogs can be tough on allergies, dogs can be expensive, and some people don’t have enough time to care for and spend time with their pets. Most dogs are pretty great because they are good protectors, loyal and fun. You love and care for your pets because they’re part of your family. And they’re your friends, too. In fact, I think I’ll go take a little snuggle with her right now. Kylie Huang, 8, of Chaska is a second-grader at Jonathan Elementary School and the daughter of Herald columnist Mike Huang.

GUEST COMMENTARY

Republicans will move ahead WEYGAND COLUMN I have to respond again to Jim Weygand’s nonsense about taxation in Minnesota (“Minnesota as strong as weakest link,” Jan. 12). He’s once again spreading the false liberal notion that somehow the wealthiest in our state do not pay their fair share. Let’s look at the taxes we pay in Minnesota. We have an income tax. This tax is progressive, meaning the more income you have, the higher percentage you will pay in income taxes. We have property taxes. This tax is also progressive, meaning that the higher your property value, the higher percentage you pay in property taxes. We have usage taxes, like sales tax, gasoline tax, license fees, etc., that are considered regressive taxes. When a liberal says a tax is regressive, that means it’s a flat tax. Everyone pays the same rate. These taxes are probably the only truly fair taxes that any of us pay, (or close to it, because license tabs for example, are based on the value of your vehicle, so these are slightly progressive as well). As you can clearly see, there is no tax that is skewed to benefit those in the top income brackets, but rather the opposite is true. Now some will assert that when you total all of the taxes that an individual pays, that those in the top income brackets are as burdened as heavily, as a percentage, when compared to their income. Since there is no way to know exactly how much each individual pays in sales taxes, or gasoline taxes, this argument is impossible to

prove, but it fits their purpose to grow government revenue and fuel the fires of class warfare. If people like Jim really cared about the “regressive” nature of some of these taxes, they should be pushing to have them removed. Because it seems to me, what they are really saying is that they would desire a flat tax based solely upon income. I asked Jim in my previous response what percentage this would be, but I see he didn’t answer that question. Here’s the problem liberals have with a flat tax. Let’s assume for a moment that at all levels of government personal taxes are flat. Now when one level of government wants to increase taxes, this will hit everyone equally across the board, and the entire nation would want to know exactly why their taxes are going up and hold people accountable. The same would happen when the state and county want to increase taxes. If we are ever going to rein in over spending by our government, we need to start by being honest about the tax situation, and stop trying to pit citizen against citizen with false class warfare arguments about fair shares. Jim’s article highlights the biggest problem in government today, and that problem is spending. The reason liberals cannot answer the simple question as to how much is your fair share is simple. There is no fair share to a big government liberal. They always want more. John Brunette is a Chaska resident.

Last January, I wrote a column about D i s t r ic t 11 2 hosting German exchange st udent s i n October 2010. Now, a l most a year later, is the second Rachel half of the exWinter change: sending Americans to Germany for three weeks. On July 2, 15 high school students, myself included, departed for the German town of Karlsruhe, where we were all going to be living and attending school. The tiresome travel was worth it, when our bus pulled up to the school, all of the students who were hosting or had come to Minnesota were standing there – cheering, smiling, holding signs and flowers and other various welcome gifts. Everyone was reunited again. This was only the fi rst day and yet no one could stop smiling, it was like living a dream. From the first day on, we were all hypersensitive to the differences between life in Minnesota and life in Germany. Hopefully my recollections will provide a better idea of what makes Germany such a unique and special country.

FOOD AND SCHOOL As Americans, one of our primary concerns in traveling is the food. No worries though, German food is incredible! In general, everything tasted a lot more natural and less processed. Everything just tasted healthier. I first noticed this when we had dinner on the day of my arrival. They had strawberries with the meal and these were at least a sixth of the size of ours, yet their taste was so strange. Yes they were still strawberries, but they tasted more real … if that’s possible. Then there were the breads.

My, oh my, they were all from small-town bakeries, and provided with just about every meal. German society had a much different lifestyle and ideals. You knew just by interacting and attending festivals and celebrations that they possess a great deal of very admirable pride in their culture and history. This wasn’t an observation that you only noticed among the adults, but the teenagers, the children, the grandparents – they too are just as full of pride. Regarding means of transportation, cars are used a lot less, and walking, trains, and bikes are utilized as primary sources for transportation. All of the American students on this trip spent a fair amount of time in school. The key things I noted were that American students, and teachers, dress more casually; the German school system provides more breaks throughout the day; a majority of students bring a water bottle with them everywhere; and the German students are more independent and for the most part, more serious about school and education. While observations of Germany helped me to gai n a broader perspective on ways of life, it wasn’t these mere differences that had the greatest impact on me. The way we spend our time, and the incredible people we spent it with, are the memories that will forever stay strong in my mind and heart.

FESTIVALS For one weekend, the entire excha nge g roup, G er ma ns and Americans, went to the Black Forest. Our trip there, aside from being in the midst of a breathtaking landscape, provided a true weekend of bonding for the group. We spent at least an hour one night just playing games and talking. We watched the most picturesque sunset, and appreciated one another’s company. We went to a lot of festivals.

Three weeks in Deutschland BY RACHEL WINTER

I’m writing in response to the editorial regarding the need for a fresh start in the Republican Party (“Fresh start needed for Republicans,” Jan. 12). While that sentiment has been addressed, and we have new leadership, I take issue with the suggestion that we leave social issues aside. The editorial suggests that due to the personal failings of some of our members, that this somehow undermines some of our platforms, like the defense of marriage, or that our party’s finances undermine our platform regarding fiscal responsibility. These notions are ridiculous. As to the Amy Koch affair, individuals falter. Her individual actions are not a reflection of the party as a whole. She actually did the right thing by resigning her position as a party leader. I remember a former president who was in a similar situation who chose a different path. Did Bill Clinton’s affair create an air of immorality for the Democrats as a whole? Imagine if every time a party member’s personal failing resulted in modifications to a party platform, what would any party have to stand upon? One can look at the some of the Green champions in the Democratic Party, and find similar variances. Look at Al Gore and Nancy Pelosi’s extensive personal use of energy for example. Does their irresponsible use of energy undermine their Party’s platform regarding climate change? As to fiscal responsibility, we will, as a party, deal with

our debts in a responsible manner. We will not be looking for bailouts from government. I can’t speak to all of the details as to how we arrived at the level of debt, but it’s certainly not insurmountable. All of us as individuals go into debt at some point in our lives. Responsibility demands that we live up to the obligations to repay our debts, and not pass these debts onto our children. I don’t know when the state GOP will be back in the black, but almost certainly it will not be something with which we burden others. In fact our level of debt is less than our budgeted yearly income. Most people go into debt at a level outpacing their yearly incomes to buy homes. Does this make homeowners irresponsible? We see fiscal irresponsibility is at the federal level. As homeowners, we eventually pay off these debts. We don’t push this burden off onto our children. Can we say that at the federal level? Looking at the federal debt and what it means to future generations is not something to be ignored simply because our state party leadership went into debt. While I can appreciate the suggestions as to the right path forward, I think that’s up to us. As an organization, we recognize that individuals fall from grace. But as such, we have an obligation to maintain our standards, and to move on from distractions. Without convictions and standards, where would anyone be today? Sometimes you trip. Sometimes you fall. You get up, dust yourself off and keep moving forward, and that’s exactly what this party will do.

A group of District 112 exchange students prepare to leave for Germany. The fi rst one was the Peter & Paul festival; it was sort of like a German version of our Renaissance Festival. Except that theirs was, for obvious reasons, much more authentic. The school we were attending had what they called their “Idiot Hill Festival.” It comprised of students of the school and nearby schools performing musical covers and original works. The biggest event we attended, one which is internationally known, was “Das Fest.” The one night we were there, which happened to be our last night in Germany, was the perfect way to end the trip. A majority of us spent the night, and wee hours of the morning, dancing the time away under the starlit sky. It was a fairytale ending to say the least.

LESSONS LEARNED When we were first sitting in the airport, eager and anxious to board our plane and be on our way to Germany, my teacher mentioned to me that the coming three weeks were possible to be the most intensely emotional three weeks of my life. At that moment, I had brushed her comment aside and thought that these next three weeks were going to be similar to a three-week long party. A s t he t r ip pr o g r e s s e d though, I learned I shou ld have listened to her. Throwing

yourself into a new culture with a language you’re barely proficient in, being on your own for the fi rst time, having to look inward for advice? It all acts as a catalyst in every emotion that flickers through you. It made me want to take risks and try new things, to just be a whole new person and not waste a moment of thinking about how others are judging or perceiving me. It made me realize that a lot of the emotional stability I had back home was to be credited to my family. I learned how vital it is to appreciate everything and everyone you have in your life. Departure was almost unbearable. It was the end of our time in Germany with the friends and family we had spent so much time growing close to. After all the hugs had been shared, tears cried, and fi nal goodbyes said, we boarded the bus and drove to the airport. Many people were involved with the whole experience, and each and every one who was involved was impacted in one way or another. How we were impacted is going to be different from person to person, but one thing is for sure, it was an amazing opportunity and experience that we will each carry with us for the rest of our lives.

Transit coalition: ‘We’re not done’ Highways 212 and 5 remain atop to-do list Bob Lindall once believed he’d never see the construction of new Highway 212 in his lifetime. And even though the highway is almost four years old, Lindall’s advocacy work is far from fi nished. As president of the Southwest Corridor Transportation Coalition (SWCTC), Lindall acknowledges that there are still plenty of transportation needs for the area. The 1967 plan shows Highway 212 all the way to Norwood Young America, noted Lindall in a phone interview. “We’re not done.” The SWCTC meets on an occasional basis to discuss transportation issues pertinent to the region. Lindall said the meetings typically draw be-

tween 35 and 45 members from the immediate area (Chaska, Chanhassen, Carver) all the way to outlying communities like Renville and Olivia. Many of the members in attendance are elected officials. The group last met on Jan. 6 to discuss the 2012 work plan. I mprovements to Highway 5 as well as the extension of Highway 212 as a four-lane section out to Cologne and then Norwood Young America were both on the agenda. Those were the same two issues that originally brought the coalition together in the 1980s. Prior to that, there were two groups that dated back to the 1970s – one coalition for Highway 212 and one for Highway 5. The SWCTC continues to push for dollars for both highways despite the Minnesota De-

partment of Transportation’s (MnDOT) new philosophy to focus more on existing roads at the metro’s core to get the most bang for its limited buck. “We recognize the reality that money is tighter than it has been in the past,” said Lindall. “We believe that our past success has been a result of continuing to keep the issue before elected officials and MnDOT, realizing that it’s the squeaky wheel that gets the grease,” he added. There is about $1.3 million in federal funds left to use for Highway 212, Lindall noted. While that won’t buy much pavement, it can help with right-of-way acquisition and other roadway improvements. “We’re still working out the details on how that money can be used,” said Lindall.

Eve Weipert is from a large family. She’s one of eight children. Growing up, her family liked to visit museums on vacations. Museums were economical for a big family and educational. But she chose her career path after a school field trip to the Oshkosh Museum. The visit opened Weipert’s eyes. “It was the fi rst time I was able to see behind the scenes at a museum,” Weipert said, “how collections come to be, how to show them and tell the history of a community.” Weipert decided when she grew up she would work in a museum. Years later, she realized her dream and has worked in museums in Michigan and now Minnesota. In mid-December, Weipert, 44, was named curator at the Carver County Historical Society Museum in Waconia, replacing Larry Hutchings, who started his own business. Most recently Weipert was state curator for collections and exhibits at the Michigan Historical Museum in Lansing. The Michigan Historical Museum is equivalent to the Minnesota Historical Society and its History Museum. In addition to the fl agship museum in Lansing, Weipert oversaw the 11 satellite museu ms i ncludi ng T he For t Wilkins and Copper Harbor Lighthouse, the Michigan Iron Industry Museum, the Sanilac Petrogymphs and the Hartwick Pines Logging museum. “There was a lot of variety

COURTHOUSE continued from page 1

In the county’s long-term financial plan approved in December, building security was identified “as a growing concern that needs to be addressed.”

RANGE OF SECURITY In the 87 counties in Minnesota, court security measures range from open courtrooms to full-fledged weapons screening systems similar to those at airports. In the metro area, Hennepin, Ramsey and Dakota counties have relatively advanced security systems. “The shooting in Cook County raised a lot of concerns,” said John Kostourus, a spokesman with the state court information office. “What most people don’t realize, while courts are a state institution, courthouse security is the responsibility of the county government.”

WANDING In Carver County, six bailiffs with the Sheriff’s Office are responsible for courtroom security, explained Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson. The bailiffs are armed and periodically use portable metal detectors for weapons screening outside courtrooms. In 2011, there more than

with dual licensure, as well as claiming revenue from a social worker contract shared with District 112, were two main reasons for the debt. “It was a series of reimbursement claims that were not allowable for several years, that were corrected,” Kermes said. Kermes compared the mistakes, which he inherited when he started as executive director, to a knotted string of Christmas lights. The billing in question for special education costs totaled about $2.2 million. And billing for the social worker contract was about $1.6 million, Kermes said. “The problem was CarverScott submitted 100 percent of the costs,” he said.

IMPACT ON DISTRICTS T he SOD status was announced Jan. 9, by Jordan School Board Chairwoman Deb Pauly, who represents Jordan on the Carver-Scott board. “It will greatly impact CarverScott and our relationship with them,” said Pauly, adding that buildings and staffing could also be affected. Currently, the biggest co-op components for local District 112 students are vocational and special education pro grams, said Superintendent Jim Bauck. Another large co-

wit h t he exhibits. We had light houses, historic houses as well as regular museums,” Weipert said. Due to state budget cuts, Eve Weiper t was Weipert laid off a year and a half ago. She kept herself busy volunteering with other historical societies, in addition to her job search. “She is a great addition,” said John Varone, who Carver County Historical Society president. “She’s jumped right in. The future is very bright for CCHS.”

NEW BUT FAMILIAR One of the fi rst things that impressed Weipert when she visited the Carver County Historical Society Museum was the extensive military collection. While she was accustomed to juggling and organizing the main state museum and the 12 field locations, she’s looking forward to concentrating on one county. “It will be a nice change to focus,” she said. Before heading the state collection in Michigan, Weipert’s experience includes working at five smaller museums, including the local historical society in St. John’s, Mich. She loves to read history, especially books about the 1890-1915 era. “It was a time of changes when their issues were child labor, women’s rights, breaking up the big business monopolies, the downfall of

1,200 criminal and traffic cases in Carver County as well as 642 family court cases, according to court records. There were 14 criminal jury trials and four civil jury trials. At a recent weeklong criminal trial, all people who entered the courtroom were required to empty their belongings and be screened with the wanding detector every time they reentered the courtroom. “We have to look at cost versus benefit,” Sheriff Olson said. “There’s no way to make a courthouse incident proof. But we want to mitigate potential problems. It’s important for all of us to keep the campus secure not only for people coming in but also for employees.” Carver County Attorney Mark Metz said he’s a proponent of enhanced security at the government center and he credited county commissioners for taking the matter seriously. Metz said he’s received dozens of e-mails from legal colleagues since the Cook County attorney was injured in the shooting. “Everybody is very concerned,” Metz said. “It shook people up.” W hile it is in the public interest that the courts are secure, Metz said, other county departments — such as Social

op program, the area learning center, will soon be rolled into District 112 programming. “As far as immediate impact, I don’t think we’ll see some major changes,” said Bauck, in a phone interview. “We’re looking at the merging of MRVSEC and Carver-Scott for efficiency reasons,” Bauck said. “I think the co-op will come out of this thing in a very strong and very focused shape, but we have a little bit of heartburn to go through with that funding piece and righting the ship with the budget right now,” Bauck said.

WHAT’S NEXT Car ver-Scott has a total budget of about $16 million, and in recent years saw its fund balances gradually sink toward the negative, not counting the billing errors. The cooperative might be hanging on for dear life to its nine member districts as it develops plans to get out of debt in 18 to 24 months. “I don’t think we can make it if we lose so much as one small district during these 18 months,” Kermes said. When a district is in SOD, the state must approve a plan to get the district out of debt. So what’s in the 18-month plan, according to Kermes? Districts could pay a membership fee that they didn’t pay in the past. Carver-Scott could look at selling its Crosby Park building at 309 Lake Hazeltine Drive in

Standard Oil,” Weipert said. “Sorry Mr. Rockefeller! It was a great time period of history, a real changing period.” Weipert lives in Norwood Young America with her cat Boots. “I have a nice little drive to work,” Weipert said. “Every morning I get to say hello to my Guernseys in the field having breakfast.” Weipert’s looking forward to completing the Veterans Gallery, catching up with the new donations that have come in, and working on the preservation of the photography collection. The county has a collection of 5,000 photographs. “We’re working on a legacy grant project with the state,” Weipert said. “The grant allowed us to bring in two contract workers who are putting our photograph collection onto acid-free backing boards, into archival sleeves, and into numeric order for research. We’re about a third of the way through it now.”

Services and the tax department — also deal with highintensity situations.

ONGOING CONCERNS Steve Taylor, the county’s administrative service director, said a county task force on Government Center security has been meeting since 2005 and took on a renewed energy in 2010. The task force considers security measures for the entire county complex and includes representatives from the Sheriff’s Office, the probation department, the County Attorney’s Office and general government center employees. Since 2005, Taylor said, there have been security enhancements. The latest recommendations include locations for cameras, signage and security measures at entrances. “We’re looking at all the options,” Taylor said. “It comes down to a balancing act – being able to mitigate a threat versus inconveniencing the public.” Taylor said the expense also has to be justifiable. “We take this very seriously,” he said. According to the county’s long-term financial plan, the goal is to start implementing high-impact, low-cost changes as soon as possible and then identify longer-range projects as well as possible funding sources.

Chaska, appraised at $1.5 million. There will be dramatic cuts – to the tune of $500,000, Kermes said – to administration. And the planned merger with MRVSEC would reduce core costs. Kermes said he’s optimistic that within 18 to 24 months they can put in place a plan that will get Carver-Scott out of debt. “We just have to get our costs under control,” he said. Rumors in recent days have led to some talk of districts pulling out of Carver-Scott, but according to Kermes, they were unfounded. However, several of the districts were trying to start their own area learning centers, which is one of several roles played by Carver-Scott. Kermes said the 18-month plan hinges on the support of member districts to hang in there and not leave the cooperative. After that, they could stay or leave with less fallout, he said. In all, about 600 students use the cooperative. Kermes said that if a district did leave, “we might as well shut the cooperative down.” The Carver-Scott board will discuss changes to the organization’s structure at its Jan. 24 meeting. Area learning centers will also be a hot topic. District 112, Shakopee and Waconia all plan on running their own learning centers. Carver-Scott plans to close its learning center near Jordan.

Approaching High School...

Persuading the renowned St. Olaf Band to perform at Chaska High School this Saturday wasn’t easy. “It was about seven years of pestering to get the St. Olaf Band to Chaska,” said Noah Anderson, a 2008 Chaska High School graduate. Noah, a St. Olaf senior and a bass clarinetist for the band, contributed four years of pestering. His older sister Lauren, who also played bass clarinet in the band before graduating, contributed the fi rst three years. The siblings are the children of Linda and Richard Anderson of Chanhassen. The band performs in two metro area concerts before its national tour every year, said St. Olaf Band Manager Terra Widdifield. She credits Anderson’s lobbying (“Mostly, I just got worn down,” Widdifield joked), as well as Chaska High School music teacher Tim Beckler and Minnesota Valley Community Band Director Barry Fox with bringing the band to Chaska. “[We had] all the right local support and a nice venue,” Widdifield said. Conductor Timothy Mahr leads the wind ensemble, which was founded in 1891 and has over 9 0 members. “They’re one of the premier performing groups in the state. The St. Olaf Band has an international reputation,” said Fox.

POLISHED This is the first leg of the band’s tour, which brings it to

HIGH SCHOOL READINESS SEMINAR

Mayer Lutheran High School Chaska and Rosemount, before the band travels to a variety of venues in California. By this point, the program is “completely polished,” said Widdifield. The audience is “getting a chance to hear what most people agree is one of the top five undergraduate wind ensembles in the country – and that includes music conservatories.” “The program is really varied,” said Widdifield, ranging from quiet pieces to music “that will make people jump on their feet and clap.” The performance includes a premiere of “New Symphony,” by David Maslanka. “People who know wind band music really follow him. He’s one of the most sophisticated living composers of wind band music,” Widdifield said. The band will also perform a piece by current St. Olaf band member Eric Choate, “an upand-coming composer.”

CULMINATION At Chaska High School, Noah Anderson performed in the wind ensemble, pit orchestra, jazz band and pep band, and sang with the concert choir and chamber singers. “I learned something different from every musical experience,” he said. Anderson is looking forward to playing at his alma mater. “It’s a culmination of my

musical experience, which really started off in high school,” he said. Anderson said the performance allows him to “come back to the high school that had given me so much … and give a little bit back to the students.” “I haven’t been on the stage there for about four years, and it will just be a really great experience that I know a lot of people of my hometown will be there supporting me.” At St. Olaf, Anderson also sings in Chapel Choir, and plays in the jazz band and pit orchestra. While Anderson is active in band, it’s not his primary field of study. He’s a political science and American studies major. When he graduates this spring, he’d like to get involved in an election campaign as a canvasser or field organizer. Anderson has honed his organizational skills while working as fi nancial officer for St. Olaf’s Student Government Association (fellow Chaska High School alumnus John Laven is president of the group). “I definitely want to keep playing,” Anderson said. Because it’s not his major field of study, music has given him a break from other work. Music “taught me to have a separation between my personal life and my work life,” Anderson said. “I think that’s something I’ll be able to continue after I graduate.”

Plan to attend the High School Readiness Seminar where educators will discuss topics such as:

• How has high school changed? • Academic planning for the high school years • How will my child fit in? • Essential skills for post high school pursuits Please call Renae Johnson at 952.657. 2251 for more information.

Art-ic Circle Shake off the winter blahs at Art Shanty Project 2012 BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

o one was more disappointed than me to learn that the Art Shanty Project on Medicine Lake took a break last winter. Our record winter of ice and snow was ideal for this virtual art village on a frozen lake. And, more importantly, I was all revved up to once again shake my groove thing in the “Dance Shanty.” I love the Dance Shanty. The official artist statement about the Dance Shanty talks about “pushing the boundaries between artist and observer…the pursuit of positive personal and communal transformation…” Blah, blah, blah. What it doesn’t say is the Dance Shanty is essentially a backwoods dance club — something you might come across trekking through the Yukon with your dogsled. At its best moments, the 10-foot-by-10-foot (I’m just guesstimating here) fish house is packed to the rafters — everyone jumping up and down, pumping fists in the air, singing, “I want to rock with you!” or “Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights when Suzie wore her dresses tight…!” It’s my kind of place. The Art Shanty Project is in its eighth year on Medicine Lake in Plymouth. This annual outdoor arts and entertainment event brings together downtown-type Twin Cities artists and suburban arts lovers. And let’s be honest, it’s something really fun and zany to do in the dead of winter. Twin Cities photographer and Art Shanty Project cofounder Peter Haakon Thompson likes the idea of breaking out of the typical downtown art environment. “It’s an opportunity to bring artists to new audiences who live outside downtown,” Thompson said. Besides, he grew up near Medicine Lake and thought it was an ideal location for an outdoor art event like this.

ICE FISHING FOR THE ARTY SET You don’t have to love ice fishing to attend. You’d be hard pressed to find an ice fishing hole, but the there are 20 ice shanties, each with a theme and artistic vision. For example, this year’s lineup includes: The Naughty Shanty — Look through peep holes to view tiny, naughty scenes. Not naughty as in “dirty” but naughty as in “who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?”

Not your average juried art show 2012 Art Shanty Project What: Twenty art shanties created by Twin Cities artists, providing interactive, whimsical, offbeat art and entertainment. Where: Medicine Lake, Plymouth, Minn.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF ART SHANTY PROJECT

The Art Shanty Project is all about the arts, entertainment and fun. Come as you are.

When: Saturdays and Sundays, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., Jan.21-22; Jan. 28-29; Feb. 5-6.

Clubhouse on the lake

Who: Open to the public and all ages; free. How: For directions, schedule of events, ice shanties and participants, go to www.artshantyproject.org. Contact the Art Shanty Projects at info@ artshantyprojects.org or call the Art Shanty Hotline (612) 567-6844.

Peter Haakon Thompson Art Shanty Project cofounder

Completely appropriate for all ages. The creators say, “Stay awhile and have a candy cigarette.” Fort Shanty — Build your own fort using pillows, pulleys, ropes and more. Just like when you were a kid tearing apart the living room sofa. Enjoy snack time, nap hour and story hour while you’re there. Capitol Hill Shanty — Why let the politicians have all the fun? Make your own pat, self-serving speeches, create your own ‘stache’ at the mustache station and heckle the suit at the podium. Drop in for some bureaucracy. Nordic Village Bridge — Hang with the trolls in the Concordia Language Villages’ shanty. Choose your culturally authentic Nordic name, meet the troll who lives under the bridge and choreograph your own dance to Eurovision songs. Monsters Under the Bed Shanty — It wasn’t all in your head. Visit the giant bed and let out your inner monster in a monster-friendly environment. Oh, and not to be missed, the Dance Shanty. See you there.

Why should ice fishing folks have all the fun? The idea of holing up on a frozen lake, in a tiny shack with your friends, trading stories and more importantly, making up stories and art, intrigued Peter Haakon Thompson. Thompson is a Twin Cities artist whose main medium is photography. About eight years ago, Thompson and his friends — many are artists — started talking about the whole concept of ice fishing shanties. Thompson admitted that for a non-fishing person like himself, he’d never been in one. “I loved the idea of it being like a kid’s clubhouse where you hang out,” Thompson said. “And the backdrop is a beautiful frozen lake environment where it’s like free land for part of the year. “Everything about it incorporated all the things I was interested in. I had some friends help build an ice shanty/ studio. “The first year it was about having friends come by, and sometimes they’d invite their acquaintances. We did things like make a heart-shaped rink for Valentine’s Day. “I happened to mention it at an artist talk, and David Pitman [a local artist and blogger] got excited about multiple artists participating. It’s his energy that’s turned this into what it has become.” The second year, there were 10 art projects including six ice shanties. The third year, the group’s board decided to limit the number of ice shanties to 20. The art on ice project took off, growing in popularity every year. After the 2010 Ice Shanty Project, the group took a hiatus to develop its mission and structure more fully. The group had applied for and received a grant from the Minnesota Regional Arts Council, to do strategic planning. The renewed direction results in the Art Shanty Project taking place every other year and moving the event to other Twin Cities suburban lakes. Unsie Zuege

All the art shanties and events are kid friendly, adult kids included.

As long as you’re here, make a confession.

Twenty art shanties of all colors, styles and materials are spread out over the frozen water of Medicine Lake in Plymouth, including this standout.

It’s standing room only in the Black Box Theater.

Distinctive Destinations Looking for an exotic travel adventure, or at least an uncommon vacation destination? Here are ﬁve top picks for 2011 from Stacey Wittig, who writes the travel blog Vagabonding Lulu.

Five hot tipss for cool tripss Story and photos by Stacey Wittig

Tanzania: Safari; Zanzibar: Beach Holiday Experience the wonders of Africa’s wildlife by hot-air balloon. Get an up-close view of wildebeest herds pushing across the Serengeti, zebras zigzagging through endless grasses and elephants bathing in wadis. Go wild on a walking or vehicle safari and then sleep tight in your deluxe safari tent. After witnessing the largest mass movement of mammals on the planet (say that ﬁve times), ﬂy to Zanzibar, Tanzania’s “Spice Island” (see photo, page 10). Here on the Indian Ocean’s white sands, cultures have collided for centuries. Stay in exotic Stone Town where Arab harems danced for sultans, Indian spice merchants left splendid architecture and Dr. Livingstone (I presume) began his last journey into the Swahili mainland. Or stay at a beach resort for some of the world’s best scuba diving. www.adventuresinafrica.com.

Hike Peru’s Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.

High Living Li Along Peru’s Ancient Pathways Adventure travelers love the trek to Machu Picchu, the “Lost City of the Incas,” for its blend of action, rugged beauty and lavish pampering. What do you call a four-day backpacking trip where l polite porters carry your pa pack, learned chefs prepare exotic local foods, and hot wine is served at an alpine viewpoint 11,742 feet fee above sea level? Vagabonding Lulu calls it “Gucci Camping.”

Boudoir Pixies moves to Chaska The “Boudoir Pixies” photo studio, operated by Stephanie Lawrance and Kelly Markuson, recently moved to downtown Chaska. The studio, at 112 West Second Street, Suite B, specializes in boudoir, pin-up and vintage style photography. “Boudoir photography is an art all its own. It’s about capturing a woman’s inner beauty with perspective, connotation, romance, and sensuality. When they speak of romance and sensuality, think back to days-gone-by when there was actually something left to the imagination. Sneak a peek at their gallery and you will fi nd most women are captured without actually showing more than you’d fi nd them wearing on a beach,” states a press release. “ T here is not hi ng more gratifying than witnessing a woman at our studio realize her own beauty, the confidence she radiates is magical. We are simply there to capture this,” said Markuson, in the release. Boudoir Pixies provide professional hair, make-up, and

An audience will laud the per formers during a musical performance or concert without much thought of the production efforts. “The audience may not notice anything if a performance looks nice and is fluid,” said Anson Allard. “But there is a lot of hard work behind the scenes to make it look that way.” Allard and his fellow Chaska Middle School West eighthgrade band members ran every aspect of the school’s Jan. 13 Talent Show, held at the Chaska High School auditorium. Lighting and sound, back-up music, stage organization and ticket sales were just a few of the tasks handled by the teenagers. “We want students to be educated of all aspects of music, including understanding what is required to put on a performance,” said Chaska Middle School West music teacher Eric Songer. Allard is a saxophonist in the eighth-grade jazz band, but he led the Tech Crew for the Talent Show. Because he has experience running sound and light systems at his church and with his friends, leading the tech crew in this production

Jane Doe came naturally to him. “I like to know if something goes wrong, I can fix it,” he said. “And if something is wrong with the lighting or sound, performers will get stressed out. I like to think I can help them through that.” The eighth-grade band class requires students to participate in one talent show production committee. Even though many have very limited experience in the committee they’re on, Songer said he has been impressed with how quickly they learn their responsibilities. “These are all very intelligent kids and not one dropped the ball from the first rehearsal through the production itself,” he said.

PERFORMERS While Allard said he agreed it is more nerve-wracking to be a performer, confidence was the ruling emotion in all of the 40 performing acts of the show itself. Sixth-grade student Evy Peel sang “Copacabana” in front of a packed auditorium. “I’ve been singing that song

on a karaoke machine as long as I can remember,” she said. “I like performing and being on stage, so it wasn’t really a big deal for me.” Du ri ng rehea rsa ls, Peel did say she was intimidated at fi rst to sing in front of “the big people” – eighth-graders – but she quickly calmed down. “I’m always dancing like crazy in my room, so I just imagined I was there and told myself I would do great,” she said. Fellow sixth-grade performer Destiny Colville sang “Shy” from the musical “Once Upon a Mattress” and used a similar technique to calm the slight nerves she experienced. “If I look at the spotlight while I’m on stage, all I can see are two little dots in the light booth, which becomes the only audience I have,” she said. Colville said plenty of practice helped dampen any nervousness. “I’ve practiced that song so much that I’m actually a little tired of it now,” she said. “I’d like to put it in a drawer and not take it out for along time, like when I’m 16.”

Compensation plan updated The city’s Personnel Committee recommended a 1 percent adjustment for full-time employees effective Jan. 1, 2012; also a step increase for one of the city’s 18 full-time employees to maintain pay equity. All changes will result in an increased wage base for all departments by $13,500 offset by benefit reductions. Overall the city’s wage base remains flat.

Garbage hauler licenses Every year the city reviews refuse, recycling and compost haulers who submit applications to renew their license. The following haulers submitted applications and comply with city ordinances. Allied Waste Services Dick’s Sanitation Service, Inc.

Elite Waste Disposal Franck’s Sanitation Garbagemen A Green Company Organic Disposal Randy’s Sanitation Waste Management

Next step in GreenStep City status In 2010, Victoria participated in the pilot program for Minnesota GreenStep Cities, and provided feedback on how to change the program to make it feasible for smaller cities. The next step for the city is to identify best practices in buildings and lighting, land use, transportation, environmental management and economic and community development, many which the city already has in place. Upon completing the remainder, the city will be recognized as a Step Two GreenStep City. Minnesota has 31 cities in the program. Victoria is the only Carver County city in the program.

City rejects curfew amendment In December, the City Council reviewed an ordinance amending the city’s curfew, and was presented for a second reading on Jan. 9. The council rescinded the city’s ordinance after Victoria resident, Chanhassen High School student, and Boy Scout Kyle Simon of Troop 7337 told the council its proposed curfew amendment is more restrictive than Chanhassen and Chaska, making it more difficult for local students who work or are in school activities in Chanhassen and Chaska. The council agreed it was duplicating efforts of the county, and rescinded the ordinance.

Downtown: Use it, or lose it? Last month I wrote about how much downtown Victoria had changed and grown in the last seven years. This month I feel compelled to talk about the reverse. What would happen if all these changes were to slip away from us from lack of use? It is an honest question. If Victoria, as a community, fails to make a concerted effort to support its businesses — and I mean all its businesses: services, downtown, close to downtown, home -ba se d, etc. —wh at would the visual landscape look like? What would be the big picture? My guess is it would look much like it did seven years ago…a boarded-up grocery store, no pedestrian activity or cars driving downtown. Who knows how many other businesses would also be gone? If downtown weren’t a viable location, who in their right mind would consider bringing in new business? Wit h a loss of t he major business community, as we know it, the downward spiral would most certainly affect our property values — and up would go the taxes. An apt cliché for us to remember: “Use it or lose it.” Doom and gloom is not my thing. My biggest wish is to share my enthusiasm for this unique small city of ours, and that enthusiasm encompasses all aspects of the community. The businesses, the neighborhoods, and the celebrations that make us feel that where we chose to live and raise our families is simply the best place on earth. The feeling of belonging in Victoria and getting to know each other

MCNULTY is special, and can wrap itself around us like nothing else can do. The attachment to where we live becomes a responsibility to maintain that infrastructure. Much as the city maintains its roads, the infrastructure residents need to maintain is the health of its business community by supporting them as much as possible. “Buy local” isn’t just a trendy phrase — it is critical to the life of any small town! Victoria is a bedroom community. Unfortunately, one can drive into most of its neighborhoods without nearing the downtown area.

STEINES continued from page 1

SCHOOL AND PLAY At home in Carver, Andrew is among four boys and three girls, including a twin sister, Emily. He is a fourth-grade student at East Union Elementary School. “Lunch, recess and going home,” Andrew said when asked his favorite part of school. With a little prodding from his stepmother, Rachael, he expanded his answer. “I don’t like anything of math,” he said. “I like a little bit of art. The only thing I like about music is the drums.” Andrew plays a child’s drum set on a music synthesizer, builds cars and army tanks with LEGO pieces, enjoys video games and wrestles on the floor with older brother Anthony. His declining vision was apparent as he demonstrated doing math homework, sitting within two feet of a television screen to see large print displayed on the School District 112 website. Steines and her husband, Peter, want to “create memories” for Andrew by having him see as many sights and places as possible in case his vision continues to decline. “It’s one of the things I’ve thought about,” she said. “I want him to see how big an ocean is. There are so many things that are visual. It’s something I’ve thought about, but we haven’t talked to him yet.” The Steines are educating themselves about vision disorders. She is used to talking about medical conditions in her job as a nurse for Hiawatha Home Care, a private duty nursing fi rm in Red Wing. “I work with kids and adults, and I work with disabilities all the time,” she said. “It makes it easier for me to understand what the doctors are talking about. I know what to do to get us where we need to go. I know where to go to get the information we need.” Steines contacted the Carver Lions Club because she knew the organization is dedicated to preserving vision and helping people with sight disorders. Andrew’s sophisticated testing is expensive and not covered by the family’s health insurance, she said. “They’ve been just amazing,” she said of the Carver Lions. “Their generosity has just blown Peter and me away.”

Andrew Steines plays drums on a music synthesizer at his home in Carver.

Andrew attended a Carver Lions Club meeting and captured the hearts of club members, said Tim Craig, the club’s vice president and co-chair of the Soggy Bottom III golf event. “He looks like every kid I ever played with when I was his age,” Craig said. “He may or may not know what he is going through, but it doesn’t seem to affect him. It wasn’t woe is me. It wasn’t you need to help me. It was I’m just a kid running down the street. “He asked when he can come back to the Lions meeting so he can play with the puppies,” Craig said. “We have two puppies [for guide dog training].” Lions Club members decided to earmark their 50 percent share of Soggy Bottom III proceeds to benefit Andrew. Craig said the goal is $2,900, but he expects to surpass that if the weather cooperates to produce a large turnout of winter golfers. “It’s gotten a little bigger this year than we thought it was going to be,” Craig said. “When you have something people can see and touch

and feel, it has an impact. That is pretty cool. “It’s fun to get to do something like this,” he said. “We send so much money to different Lions clubs or send money to Japan to help tsunami victims. It’s nice to be able to do something for someone I drive past every day. That is the whole thing. When you see somebody that young whose sight is getting affected, it’s a different thing, it’s a different feeling.” Carver Fire Chief Dan Meyer said the fi re department voted unanimously to also give its 50 percent share of Soggy Bottom III proceeds to the Steines family. “The fi re department is not in serious need of money. We would like to give something back to the community,” Meyer said. “We felt it would be better for it to go to somebody who really needed it.” “Whatever is raised is a blessing,” Rachael Steines said. “I think Andrew’s going to have a ball [at Soggy Bottom III], and that is most important. Right now, it’s about creating memories for him.”

Chaska ju niors Et ha n Loosbrock and Trent Butcher reached separate milestones du r i n g m at che s l at e l a s t week. Loosbrock notched No. 100 in a triangular in New Prague Jan. 13, while a day earlier at home in Chaska, Butcher hit No. 75 with a pin. “It’s just great to get the 75th win and see all the hard work paying off. Hopefully I can keep it going and hit 100 by next year,” Butcher said. While the Chaska juniors achieved individual success, the Storm Hawks wrestling team fel l to a pair of conference foes in close duals that went down to the final matches. Josh Blackowiak’s 5-3 overtime victory at 170 pounds gave Chaska/Chanhassen the 23-14

lead, but two fi rst-period pins, a forfeit win and a 3-2 decision to end the dual put Shakopee on top 35-23 in a Missota Conference event Jan. 12 at Chaska High School. A pin from Sabers’ sixthranked Scott Bode at 20 seconds of the fi rst period at 195 pounds put Shakopee ahead for good at 26-23. The Storm Hawks won four of five matches between 126 and 152 pounds to gain a 20-10 lead. Butcher started the run with a second-period pin at 126 pounds – his 75th win of his career. Butcher said the experience of wrestling in the big tournaments such as Rumble on the Red in Fargo and the Foley Invitational Jan. 7 help prepare a wrestler for the months ahead. “Wrestling the best helps you no matter if you win or lose. Just the experience of wrestling the best helps you down the road,” Butcher said. C/C eighth-grader Brenden Olevson, ranked No. 10 in 3A, also won by overtime decision over ranked Patrick Casey 6-4 in the most anticipated match of the night. Olevson reversed a tired Casey in the second overtime for two points and rode him

for the entire 30-second third overtime session for his biggest win of the season. “I just wore him out I guess. I’ve faced five ranked kids now, so you get used to facing tough guys. I actually lost to him by three points last year because he was stalling so much. I wanted to push the tempo,” Olevson said. Casey, a junior, defeated Olevson 7-4 in the semifi nals of the 130-pound bracket in Section 2A A A last March. Olevson finished the season with a 32-7 record – one of four wrestlers with 30-plus wins to not reach the state meet out of the section. “It wasn’t very fun because I lost a lot actually,” said Olevson about wrestling at the tough tournaments in Fargo and Foley, “but like Trent said it helps you no matter what. I get more out of the practice room, though. I get to work with Trent every day and he pushes me harder than anyone to be better. Working with him helped me out the most (with Casey).” Zach Boy u m a nd si xt hranked Loosbrock also won for the Storm Hawks at 145 and 152 pounds for the 10-point team advantage. Shakopee cut the deficit to six points with a 13-0 victory

from Sam Hall, but Blackowiak returned the favor on the Sabers with an overtime win over No. 7 Jacob Glynn at 170 pounds. It is the second win over top 10 wrestlers this season for the Chaska senior. Pins by Chaydon O’Fallon and Bode followed by a forfeit win to Alex Denis gave the Sabers a 32-23 lead. C/C’s Reid Johnson gave second-ranked Corey Anderson all he could handle at heavyweight, but a late stalling call with nine seconds remaining gave the Sabers senior a 3-2 victory. Despite the loss, both Butcher and Olevson were pleased with the effort on display from the Storm Hawks. With the Missota Conference ruling C/C ineligible to win the conference title as a team, a victory really would have meant a loss in the standings. “This still affects all-conference. We’re all still going for all-conference selections,” said Butcher. “Winning is always good. You’re always trying to win no matter what,” Olevson added. C/C lost to New Prague 36-30 on Jan. 13 before fi nishing off the night with a 42-33 victory over Waterville-Elysian-Morristown. Individual results were not submitted.

Chaska/Chanhassen dropped to 1-3 in the Missota Con ference season with a 144.125-134.275 loss to New Prague at Chanhassen High School Jan. 10 and a 142.775-133.9 defeat to the same Trojans squad Jan. 13. New Prague is 12-1 on the season in duals and ranked No. 2 in Class A. In the first meeting, the Storm Hawks got a 9.2 from Rachel Nornes on floor exercise. Nornes fi nished the all-around with a score of 35.375, while Leah Kutsch also had a score of 33.0. Nikki Lombardo ear ned her highest varsity floor score of 8.55. “The girls did surprisingly well. We are battling a few varsity injuries, which we thought would set us back a bit. The JV girls have stepped up and really done their job, so we are very happy with that,” said Storm Hawks coach Jaime Tsurusaki about the Jan. 10 meet. “We went 4-for-5 on beam, which is the fi rst time that has happened as well. Our scores were low, but we are working on it. We hit all of our bar routines and landed the majority of our vaults. All-in-all, it was a good meet.” C/C was coming off a thirdplace fi nish on Jan. 7 at the St. Peter Invitational at Gustavus Adolphus College. The Storm Hawks scored a 131.750. Nornes led C/C in the allaround portion of the invite, placing fourth overall with a score of 34.700. She won beam competition with a 9.4 and placed third on floor with an 8.6. Leah Kutsch placed 10th on vault, floor and all-around with scores of 8.7, 8.150 and 31.450, respectively. Senior captain Alex Dragos competed on bars and placed second with a score of 8.9.

PROMISING RESULTS A disqualification in the fi rst event of the meet Jan. 12 resulted in a deficit to great for Chaska/Chanhassen to overcome in a 99-87 loss to Red Wing at Twin Bluffs Middle School. The Storm Hawks had the winning time in the 200 medley relay, but were disqualified for a false start. A fi rst-place finish for C/C would have resulted in a 93-93 tie. C/C won four individual events, including back-to-back swims from Connor Martin and Sean Donnelly in the 100 backstroke and 10 0 breaststroke. Martin hit the wall at 56.54 for a dominating five-second win. Donnelly’s win was even more convincing with a time of 1:04.23, which was more than 11 seconds faster than the runnerup swimmer from Red Wing. Benny Richardson had a fi rst-place time in the 100 butterfly, while Jack Getty continued to shine in diving. Getty clipped Wingers’ Chris Byrne

by a single point 153-152 for the diving victory. Richardson beat Red Wing’s Conner O’Keefe in the butterfly with a swim of 56.63. Also placing second individually for the Storm Hawks were Richardson (20 0 freestyle), Donnelly (50 free), and J P Currie (2 0 0 I M and 50 0 free). Both of the top 200- and 400-yard freestyle relays also were runners-up as well. Chaska/Chanhassen was swimming against the big boys Saturday in the True Team Section 6AA Meet in Edina. The Storm Hawks gave up a lot of depth, but still managed to fi nish fourth among the six competing teams. No. 1 Eden Prairie topped No. 2 Minnetonka and No. 3 Edina with a score of 1,108. The defending state champion Skippers had 1,047 points. T he Stor m H awk s were fourth with 505 points – ahead of Hopkins and WatertownMayer/Delano/Holy Family Catholic. C/C had eight top-10 individual finishes in the meet. Donnelly led the way with a third-place swim in the 100 breaststroke at 1:04.29. He was also fourth in the 50 freestyle at 23.27. O t h e r t op S t o r m H awk swims came from Richardson (200 free: eighth, 1:55.02; 500 free: eighth, 5:13.11), Currie (200 free: ninth, 1:55.16; 500 free: seventh, 5:12.48), Getty (Diving: seventh, 269.40) and Martin (10 0 back: seventh, 56.90).

STILL AT .500 Down 10 at halftime, Chaska rallied to force overtime, but New P rag ue outscored the Hawks 3-2 in the five-minute extra session for the 63-62 victory Friday. It was the conference opener for both teams. Isaac Tewes led the Hawks with 15 points, while Ryan Spencer and Kolby Seiffert each had 14 points. Trevor O’Brien was the top scorer with 22 points for the Trojans (8-4). Paul Friedshuh and Sergio Najera contributed 14 and 12 points, respectively. New P rag ue led 3 5 -2 5 at halftime. Hawks freshmen Jacob Hansen and Justin Arnold also added eight and seven points. Seiffert keyed a second-half rally as Chaska rallied for a 62-57 road win at Red Wing to even its record at 7-7 Tuesday entering Saturday’s showdown with Chanhassen. Seiffert scored a team-high 17 points as the Hawks rallied from a 30-25 halftime deficit for the league victory. Hansen added 12 points, while Eric West had 10. Spencer and Tewes also contributed eight and seven points, respectively. Ty Buck netted a game-high 22 points for Red Wing (5-8). Isaac Toivonen also chipped in 15 points.

Buzzer-beater sinks Chaska to 2-2 in Missota BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Sierra Leggett (5) draws a foul on a Red Wing player during the first half of Tuesday’s 67-65 loss. Leggett scored 12 points for Chaska, which lost at the buzzer.

Sierra Leggett connected on a pair of free throws in the final seconds to knot the game at 65 for Chaska. But a baseball pass down the court on the inbounds play led to a shot and eventually a rebound and putback as Red Wing won at the buzzer 67-65 Tuesday. After starting the Missota Conference season with two wins, the Hawks now sit at 2-2 after a pair of tough losses to two of the league’s elite programs. “We battled the whole second half and tied the game there in the end, so to lose the way we did on a long pass and offensive rebound and putback really hurts,” Chaska Coach Tara Seifert said. Chaska trailed 36-31 at halftime, but took their fi rst lead of the game early in the second half. Red Wing, though, gained a 10-point advantage before the Hawks rallied down the stretch to tie the game on

Leggett’s free throws. For the game, Leggett was 8-of-10 from the foul line. The Hawks as a team were 20-for-26. Ellie Thompson led Chaska (4-10) with 20 points – 10 in each half. Leggett added 12 points, while Nicole Parsons scored seven of her 11 points in the second half. “Sierra played great for us. She scored nine in the second half. And obviously Ellie was solid for us as well,” Seifert said. Red Wing’s stars Macy Kelly and Tesha Buck combined for 41 points, while Andrea LeFond contributed 14 points. The Wingers jumped out to a 14-0 lead before a pair of free throws from Parsons stopped the run 5:13 into the game. Chaska continued to inch closer throughout the half, cutting the deficit to 22-16 on three straight baskets from Thompson. Red Wing pushed the advantage back to 10 at 28-18, but a three-pointer from Hannah Rohe and a driving layup from

Lauren Sundby closed the gap to 30-24. Chaska trailed 36-31 at halftime. “One of the things I told the team is that we can’t dig ourselves that big of a hole in any part of game, but especially in the second half when you’re trying to battle back,” the Hawks coach said. “We talked about holding our home court, so this was a tough loss. We felt we matched up well against them. We just got down in too big of a hole and gave up way too many 3-pointers. We just need to be able to fi nish a game.” The Hawks host Chanhassen at 7:30 p.m. Friday. “They are defi nitely an athletic team. They are guardoriented – we have to get the ball up the court quick. They don’t have a lot of size, so we have to utilize our posts. We have to take advantage of our size and get to the free-throw line. They are a very aggressive team, so we need to play to that,” Seifert said.

Thirty minutes to the north of New Prague, the Chaska boys basketball team was rallying to force overtime at home against New Prague. On the Trojans’ home court, it was almost the exact opposite in the girls basketball game. Down 34-28 at halftime, New Prague knotted the game at 59 at the end of regulation and like the Trojan boys, the Trojan girls came out on top in the extra session. New Prague outscored Chaska 11-8 in the five-minute overtime for a 70-67 win Friday. Anna Rynda led all scorers with 20 points, while Annie Dittberner (19) and Lexi Ruehling (15) were in double figures for New Prague (9-5), which has won five of six games. Chaska, which had its threegame winning streak snapped, got 16 points from Sundby. Also in double figures were Rohe and Thompson with 13 and 12 points, respectively. Leggett and Page Stanberry each had nine points as well.

HOCKEY ROUNDUP

Brothers oﬀ the court, rivals on the court

Storm Hawks inch closer to Missota title

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

For two years, Justin Arnold has been attending Chanhassen varsity basketball games, cheering on his brother Brandon and the Storm. Now, a freshman on the Chaska varsity basketball team, his allegiance has changed a bit. The two brothers will square off for the fi rst time in different jerseys at 6 p.m. Saturday at Chaska High School. “It’s just another game. We compete against each other in everything life. We’re brothers. He wants to beat me in everything, just like I want to beat him. You know, when we’re on the court we’re going to be enemies, but if he’s on the floor, I’m going to pick him up – he’ll pick me up. We’re brothers on the court, but we’re going to compete against each other,” Brandon said. “I’ve played him many times in my life, but it’s never actually been something like this. The fi rst couple of minutes I’m sure it’ll be weird, but after that I think it will be fun. I just have to think of it as I’m not playing my brother – I’m just playing someone else,” Justin said. The A rnolds live within the Chaska school boundary, but with Chanhassen High School opening two years ago, Brandon open-enrolled to remain with his group of friends. Justin had the chance to do the same thing, but he decided to remain at Chaska to stay together with a strong freshman football class. T wo sons on two di f ferent teams for two different schools makes it tough on the parents. “Yeah, our parents have to split up. One usually goes to one game and the other goes to the other game,” Brandon said. “We go and support each other when we can. If we don’t have a game, I’ll go and watch his. And it’s the same with him. We’ve grown up and played together – we’re brothers – so we’ll always support each other.” “We get to each other’s games a few times. Even though I go to Chaska, it’s not like I can’t cheer for him even though he goes to Chanhassen. We support each other as much as we can. Plus it helps to watch other players and other teams

and it helps me prepare for my games,” Justin said. Justin is no stranger to being one of the youngest players on the court. Growing up with an older brother, many times he played alongside his brother in pick-up games and competitions. His ability to play with older players has made his adjustment to the varsity game a smooth transition. Through 13 games, Justin is fi fth on the team at 5.6 points per game. “The first couple of weeks this season we’re tough with getting used to things. It wasn’t a big deal when I messed up something before, but those first couple of weeks I didn’t want to make a mistake. Now it feels normal. I don’t look at it as playing seniors. We’re all just as talented,” Justin said. Brandon didn’t mind having his younger brother tag along and he certainly didn’t mind being a mentor as the two grew up. “He’s used to it because he’s g rown up playing with me and my group of friends – me, Kevin (Jensen), Zach Stahl, Joey Stark, Cole (Otto). The age difference never has really bothered him. He plays football and he’s physical. That’s why he can be successful because he goes out and he doesn’t mind being physical with guys older than him,” Brandon said. The two players are similar in their games in that they can get to the rim on the drive. But they are also different in that Justin prides himself in defense where Brandon is a great passer. Brandon averages just more than five points per game. “I think the main thing to my game is I try to work the hardest on defense out of anyone on the court. I think what helps me get to the rim is that I’m strong. I’m bigger than most ninth graders, but I also can handle the pressure when there is contact,” Justin said. The Arnolds aren’t the only family rivalry that will be featured in the boys game. Chan-

Chaska freshman Justin Arnold goes up for two points in a recent game with Burnsville. Arnold will face his older brother, Brandon, in a game at Chaska at 6 p.m. Saturday. hassen freshman Joey Witthus will be matched against his cousin, Matthew, a sophomore at Chaska. One thing is for sure, the Chaska High School gym will be packed on back-to-back nights with a lot at stake. On the boys side, Chanhassen is the early front-runner, but Chaska along with New Prague aren’t too far behind.

On the girls side, Chanhassen and Chaska are in a group of pack leaders with Red Wing and New Prague. A l l of t he teams a re i n search of one thing – a conference title. “It’s a chance for a conference win and our goal is to go undefeated, so we need this one if we want to accomplish that,” Brandon said.

In four previous boys meetings, Chaska has come away victors every time. The Storm did come close in a 74-71 overtime loss last January. On the girls side, it has been a dead heat with the Hawks winning twice in 2010 and Chanhassen taking both clashes in 2011. The girls game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday at Chaska High School.

Penalties stiﬀened in eﬀort to thwart unnecessary hockey hits The Minnesota State High School League had planned to revisit possible changes to the current checking rules at a meeting this summer, but after two recent spinal injuries, MSHSL decided it was time to act now. The MSHSL Board of Directors approved a recommendation to stiffen several penalties in hockey that became effective this week. The goal is to continue the League’s efforts to reduce and remove dangerous contact that has led to severe injuries to players. The penalties for three infractions of the rules have been significantly increased in an effort to thwart players from making dangerous hits on the ice. C he ck i n g f r om b eh i nd , which formerly called for a twominute minor penalty plus a 10-minute misconduct penalty, will now become a five-minute major penalty plus a 10-minute misconduct penalty. It also states that any check from behind that is deemed “flagrant or causes the player to crash headfirst into the boards or goal frame” will continue to be a game disqualification. The disqualified player cannot re-enter that game and cannot play in the next scheduled game either. B o a r d i n g , d e f i ne d a s a “check, cross-check, elbow, charge or trip” that sends an opponent “violently into the boards” now becomes an automatic major penalty – five minutes – instead of the option of either a two-minute minor penalty or a five-minute major pena lty. T he existi ng r u le also states that any boarding check that “causes the player to crash headfi rst into the boards” may qualify for a game disqualification. The disquali fied player cannot re-enter that game and cannot play in the next scheduled game either. Contact to the head also now becomes an automatic major penalty – five minutes – instead of the option of either a two-minute minor penalty or a five-minute major penalty.

Eric

KRAUSHAR THIS AND THAT

The rule states, “No player shall make contact with an opposing player’s head or neck area in any manner.” Officials still have the option of assessing a disqualification penalty if warranted, and in that case the disqualified player cannot re-enter that game and cannot play in the next scheduled game either. “I was a little surprised it happened so fast. They usually do some beta testing and do a lot of research before making a decision as large as this,” said Holy Fami ly Catholic Head Coach Noel Rahn. “It’s something that needed to be done, but implementing it in the middle of the season makes it tough on us coaches. I’m interested to see how things go down. We won’t know until we see what happens and how it’s called. Last summer the MSHSL advisory committee established contact to the head and checking from behind as ongoing areas of concern to discuss. At a Jan. 10 meeting the committee members immediately established a priority to address the issue of proper contact in the game. The League’s chief hockey rules clinician was also invited to attend and participated in the discussion. The boys and girls coaches on the committee quickly agreed that the best way to address increasing violent hits was to escalate the penalty structure and to get all parties involved to seek to change the culture of the game. “As a coach, it’s something

that we should be instructing from Day One. But now we have to be more aware of it. We have to go back to the basics of checking. If we’re ever in an issue or circumstance where we may hit someone from behind, we have to turn our back and skate away,” Rahn said. “If penalties were enforced the way the rules were written, we wouldn’t be here in this situation.” In the MSHSL’s release, it states: “The coaches need to accept the stiffer penalties and need to instruct their players the proper and legal ways of making contact with opponents. The officials need to make the calls and when the calls are made, they need to be supported by not only the coaches, but also by the players and the fans.” “Hockey is a great game, and when it is played the way it should be played, it should be a safe game,” said Craig Perry, League associate director who oversees hockey. “The advisory committee’s recommendations and our Board’s support of the action continue our efforts to protect the kids on the ice, efforts that have been in place for a number of years. “The rules book developed by the National Federation of State High School Associations has made checking from behind and hits to the head as points of emphasis since the 2004-05 season.” Rahn has been told coaches will not be able to challenge a referee’s decision and that if any comment is made from anyone on the bench, an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty will be issued. “We don’t carry four lines. We only suit five defensemen. Now we’re going to have to carry extra forwards and six or seven defenders. The game will defi nitely change. There won’t be as much physical play. Kids are going to be tentative because they don’t want to be sitting in the box for five minutes. We might even have to change our systems. Send in one guy on the forecheck instead of two,” Rahn said.

An open house is planned for next Tuesday at the Chanhassen Legion to wish retiring Chaska Cross Country Coach Scott Stallman well after 36 years of service. An education module is now available online that details the rules changes. All coaches, officials and players have been instructed to view the education module and endorse its implementation prior to the next scheduled competition. The education module is also posted on the home page of the League website – www. MSHSL.org.

STALLMAN RETIRES Chaska Head Girls Cross Country Coach Scott Stallman is calling it a career after 36 years as the leader of the Hawks. He has coached more than 85 teams in his years at Chaska High School. Stallman also started the L ive - Ru n - S m i le c a mp i n Chaska. The district is hosting an open house for Stallman in appreciation for athletes coached from 1975-2011 and lives forever changed at the Chanhassen Legion (upper room) on 290 Lake Drive East. The event is from 6 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 24. If anyone has questions, cont ac t t he Ch ask a Hig h School Activities Department at (952) 556-7130.

NO HOMECOMING I was a bit disappointed to see a pair of local basketball

players don’t visit Williams Arena with their respective Big 10 teams. I had to settle with watching them on TV on Sunday. Chaska’s Ross Travis scored four points on 1-of-4 shooting in 22 minutes off the bench in Penn State’s 80-66 home loss to the University of Minnesota. Travis, a 2011 CHS graduate, also had eight rebounds (six offensively). Penn State is the only conference team with a below .500 record overall at 9-10. The Nittany Lions are tied for 11th with Nebraska at 1-5 in league play. Travis has played in all 19 games, starting seven, as a true freshman. He is seventh on the team at 4.6 points per game, while he’s second in rebounds with 87 total. Chaska native Courtney Boylan had more success on Sunday as her Michigan squad beat the Golden Gophers 61-57. Boylan was only 3-of-10 for six points, three rebounds and a steal, but played a team-high 40 minutes. Michigan is 14-4 overall with a 3-2 mark in the Big 10. Boylan, a senior who has started in all 18 games, leads t he Wolveri nes wit h 13 .1 points per game to go with 77 rebounds, 35 assists and 11 steals.

Chaska/Chanhassen broke open a one-goal game with three second-period goals in a 6-2 win over Shakopee at home Tuesday. The Storm Hawks are now 8-0-1 in the Missota Conference – 1 1/2 games ahead of Red Wing who sits at 7-1. After outshooting Shakopee 18-2 in the first period, C/C only led 1-0 on Kaitlin Storo’s rebound goal off a point shot from Jenna Wormuth. Wor mut h a n d C a s ey Lindquist netted goals 19 seconds apart in the second stanza for the 3-0 lead. Silkey, who had a four-point night, added a goal later in the second period, while Storo and Megan O’Brien also scored for the Storm Hawks. C/C outshot Shakopee 38-13 for the game. The Sabers tied C/C 3-3 in the fi rst meeting in December. Coming off three straight wins, in which goaltender Jessica Erchul allowed two goals in 10 periods, Farmington entered Chaska Community Center hoping to knock off Missota Conference unbeaten C/C. Much like the fi rst meeting in which the Storm Hawks dominated the Tigers and Erchul in the first period, C/C scored three times less than two minutes apart in a 5-1 win Jan. 10. After seven scoreless minutes, the Storm Hawks got on the board first as Breanna Lervick scored her third goal of the season at the 7:13 mark from Sheridan Bergo. Just 18 seconds later, it was Megan Williams from Storo and Silkey for the 2-0 advantage. Eighty-seven seconds later, down a player, Lindquist made it 3-0 Storm Hawks with a shorthanded goal from Silkey and Wormuth. Farmington cut the deficit to 3-1, but goals from Lindquist and Storo proved to be the fi nal difference for C/C. Carly Van Orden stopped 21 shots to outduel Erchul, a fifth-year starter, for the second time this season. Erchul turned away 27 of 32 shots in the loss. C/C was at its best Jan. 12 with an 8-0 win at Holy Angels. Lindquist scored three times as the Storm Hawks outshot the Stars 54-1 for the game. Van Orden faced only one shot in the second period for the shutout. Holy Angels had three power-play opportunities, including a 5-on-3 for 64 seconds. Bergo gave C/C a 1-0 lead in the fi rst period from Wormuth and Sophia Buelow. The floodgates opened in the second period with Lindquist lighting the lamp twice and Morgan Morse tallying a goal from Kylie Eklund. Silkey, Megan Hinze, Storo and Lindquist capped off the scoring in the third period. Hinze, Morse and Eklund each had two assists in the win.

SHUTOUT FOR HANSON Making his third start in five games, Chaska eighth-grader Thomas Hanson stopped all 30 shots on net to lead the Hawks to a 2-0 victory over Bloomington Kennedy Saturday. The victory snapped a fourgame losing streak for Chaska in which the Hawks were outscored 30-1. Hanson was at his best in the fi nal two periods, turning away 13 shots in each stanza as Chaska held on to 1-0 lead on Garrett Paulzine’s second goal of the season from Carter Schmidt and Brady Roers. Paulzine’s goal came with 2:09 remaining in the first period. The game remained 1-0 until Sean Brewers scored unassisted with the empty net with 11 seconds remaining in regulation. The 30 saves was a career-high for Hanson, who was making his fourth start of the season. The Hawks fell 11-0 to Holy Angels Jan. 12. Holy Angels scored eight times in the opening stanza, which included goals from seven di f ferent skaters. Tony Haeg, who scored fi rst at 2:49, had two netters in the period. Tommy Sullivan also had two goals in the victory for the Stars. Chaska also lost 4-2 to Shakopee on Tuesday, dropping to 0-6 in the Missota Conference. Individual scoring was not available.

DANCE TEAM

Don’t miss this

The drive to be the best accomplished BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

One of the beautiful things about sports is that any given team can beat any other team on a given night. Four times Chaska was the best team in Missota Conference events in December. But knowing that the competition may have improved from the fi rst four meetings, the Hawks dance team didn’t rest on past results. They went out and performed like champions. “Just like every other competition, we look at who are competition is and here we didn’t know what they had done in the past weeks. Maybe they’ve changed things and surpassed us. So it’s what do we have to do to be better than them. It’s comparing ourselves to what the other competition has to offer,” Chaska senior Casey Stone said. Having had more than three weeks off since the last competition, Chaska senior Maddy Cariveau said it was a good time to refocus on what matters most. “We just had a bunch of time to go through and clean our

routines. I think we’re more focused on beating ourselves than the other teams. The focus is on us improving,” she said. Chaska outperformed the competition, racking up two more fi rst-place dances to become Missota Conference champions for the second straight year Saturday at Shakopee High School. The Hawks scored a perfect 48 points on the season. Chanhassen also performed well, placing second for the sixth time this season in Missota events. The Storm were third last year in conference behind Chaska and Holy Angels, which placed third this year. Shakopee (23), Farmington (19) and Northfield (8) rounded out the field. “We went back and looked at what we could change and what we could fi x. We worked a lot on form,” said Cariveau about what the team did during the three-week layoff. “Both of our routines were the strongest performances this season. For kick specifically, our scores went up in the form category, which is something we’ve been working hard on the past three weeks,” Stone said. “The season has been differ-

We’ve gone through a stage where we weren’t really a jazz team three years ago and all of a sudden now we’re a jazz team. We’ve always been strong with kick, but now all of a sudden we’re so strong in both and that’s something totally new for us. To be so strong in both, it is just very cool to see the hard work showing,” Stone added. With just one meet remaining at Totino-Grace on Saturday before sections, Chaska can feel something special is in store the next month of the season. Ten first-place finishes and two runner-up trophies in 12 dances speaks a lot for this team. “The big thing for us is that we have to keep working hard. There are so many good

teams that are deserving, too. I just think we have so much potential and so much drive,” Cariveau said. “It all comes down to who works the hardest the next month,” Stone said.

A TRIP OUT WEST Un l i ke her te a m m ates, Stone’s season isn’t t r u ly winding down during the next couple of weeks. The Chaska senior was selected in October for Team Minnesota to represent the state’s dance teams at the national competition in California in March. “No one was planning on doing it and then all of sudden a week before the competition and Coach was like ‘Is anyone going to do it?’ I thought, why not, it’s my senior year. So I

had to scramble to put together a routine and a costume for the tryout,” Stone said. She was among 30 or so dancers from her class to try out for one of five spots on the state team. Dancers had the option of performing a solo or a duet. Stone came up with a two-minute solo routine to accompany the skills and interview portions of the tryout. Stone is the first Chaska dance to be selected to compete for Minnesota at nationals since Jillian Bagley in 2010. “They take the top scores from Mi n nesot a a nd t hey compete as a group, but we also have to do our solos, too. Our dances compete against other girls from across the country. I’m really excited,” Stone said.

HOLY FAMILY ROUNDUP

Wildﬁre get back on track with two wins Playing for the second time in 20 days, Holy Family Catholic/Waconia girls hockey improved to 9-7-2 on the season with a 4-1 win over the St. Paul Blades in Victoria Jan. 10. The Wildfire beat the Blades 3-2 Dec. 20 at Phalen Arena in St. Paul. Sarah Rosland broke a scoreless tie in the second period with a pair of goals, including a second one with seven seconds left in the stanza. Megan Burke assisted on both goals. St. Paul cut the deficit to a goal early in the third period, but Brityn Ryshavy and JC Reinke each netted goals for HFC/Waconia for the final difference. Lexi Hartman made 18 saves for the win for the Wildfi re. The key to beating Hutchinson is stopping its first line of Sara Carlson and Claire Cripps. H F C/Waconia did just that Jan. 12, holding the duo scoreless in a 5-1 win in Victoria. HFC/Waconia is now 2-4 in the Wright County Conference. Megan Menzuber netted a pair of goals, while Jenna Sik, Burke and Reinke also scored for the Wildfi re, which outshot the Tigers 27-20. Menzuber put HFC/Waconia on the board fi rst and Burke’s goal with 2:43 remaining in

the opening stanza proved to be the eventual winner. The Wildfi re led 5-0 until Ashley Madson netted a goal from Carlson with just over two minutes to play in regulation. Carly Bergstrom turned away 19 shots for the victory for HFC/Waconia (10-7-2).

DEFENSE KEY TO SUCCESS Holy Family Catholic coach Noel Rahn liked what he saw from his of fense after two games into the 2011-2012 season. What was not to like – the Fire had 19 total goals. What he didn’t like, though, was the nine goals allowed. His message to the team was offense is great now, but defense wins games late in the season. Including the Fire’s 2-1 win over East Ridge Jan. 10, Holy Family had allowed just three goals in winning four straight games. Holy Fa mi ly i s now 4 -1 against Class AA opponents this season. With top forward Shane Gersich leaving earlier in the day for the Winter Youth Olympics Games in Austria representing Team USA, the Fire needed other avenues of offense. Sophomore defen sem a n Dylan Woolf provided the fi rst goal on the power play at the

5:41 mark from Will Garin and Ryan Swanson. Almost six minutes later, it was eighth-grade defenseman Matt Runyon on the power play from Garin and Austin Balm for the 2-0 lead. From the first period on, though, it was the Fire’s defensive efforts that preserved the victory. Having to kill 16 minutes short-handed during the final 34 minutes of play, Holy Family allowed just one goal with 3:19 to play. In total, East Ridge was 0-for-6 on the power play. Nick Schreiter posted 26 saves for his third win in a row and seventh overall. The defense didn’t respond two days later, though. Trailing 5-2 after two periods, HFC got back within a goal, but it wasn’t enough as Waconia recorded a programrecord 11th win in a 7-5 win over the Fire. Down 6-3 with less than 10 minutes to play, HFC got goals from Tim Fellner and John Peterson 46 seconds apart to get back within a goal. Waconia held on in the final two minutes, adding an empty-net goal, for the final difference. The Wildcats jumped to a 5-2 lead through two periods, which included a pair of goals from Justin Reinke.

SW CHRISTIAN ROUNDUP

FIRE STILL WINLESS On one side of the court stood u nbeaten a nd f i f t hranked Wayzata with a record of 12-0. On the other side of the court was winless Holy Family Catholic at 0-10. The game didn’t follow the script of David vs. Goliath as the Trojans rolled to a 76-45 victory Friday in Victoria. Zach Robertson led three Wayzata players in double figures with 17 points. The Tro-

jans led 41-20 at halftime. Joe Hanel had 10 points to lead the Fire, while Joe Sperr and Jake Dryer each had nine points. The next night, HFC played a competitive game against St. Thomas Academy Saturday, but still fell 72-53 in a nonconference game in Victoria. The Fire trailed 35-24 at halftime. Hanel and Brent Hentges, both sophomores, led Holy Family with 12 and 11 points, respectively. Freshman post Justin Dahl scored his first varsity points, finishing his debut with 10 points.

WIN STREAK ENDS All good things must come to an end. Holy Family Catholic girls basketball’s 10-game winning streak came to an end in a 68-33 loss to Class 4A top-ranked Hopkins Jan. 10 in Victoria. Hopkins is off to a 14-0 start. The Royals have had an average margin of victory of 38.71 points. Only one team, Lakeville North, has played within 20 points of Hopkins this season. Hopkins led 40-15 at halftime. Syd ney a nd T i a C of fey led the Royals with 17 and 16 points, respectively. Individual statistics were not available for the Fire.

Pluth named to Top 50 Kids Golf Teachers list

Gersich nets hat trick for Team USA in Austria

Bradley Pluth of Chanhassen is among the class of the Top 50 Kids Teachers for 2011, as announced by U.S. Kids Golf. Pluth has been a junior golf instructor for 14 years and is a PGA Certified Director of Instruction at Halla Green Golf and Practice Center. This is the second time that he has been named a Top 50 Kids Teacher by U.S. Kids Golf. “I am honored to join this elite group of professionals,” Pluth said. “This is truly a team effort that I proudly share with my staff and partners that I have throughout Minnesota and throughout the country.” The award, in its eighth year, recognizes golf professionals across North America who focus much of their time and energy on developing young golfers in their communities. The instructors are judged on several criteria, including percentage of time devoted to kids programs, creativity, communication and efforts to grow the game. This year’s class represents 25 states and Canada and includes teachers who work at public, private, resort and municipal courses. “The Top 50 Kids Teachers represent a group of professionals who are dedicated to helping kids develop their skills and their love of the game,” said Dan Van Horn, founder and president of U.S. Kids Golf. “We are pleased to recognize their talents and commitment.” The 2011 Top 50 Kids Teachers will be recognized Friday, Jan. 27, at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando.

A fourth qualifying game was scheduled for Wednesday against Russia. The top four teams reach the semifinal round on Friday with a third-place game Saturday and the championship on Sunday.

Brian and Suzanne Honebrink chose a custom quilt pattern for a very personal reason. Their design replicates the pattern on a family heirloom: The last quilt made by Brian’s grandmother Meta Luebke. Meta was an avid quilter. Utilizing every scrap of fabric available, she made an untold number of quilts during her active lifetime. Interestingly, this last quilt was sold at an auction, but fortunately, there was no danger of the heirloom leaving the family. It was purchased by Suzanne’s mom and given as a gift to Brian and Suzanne. Suzanne plans to quilt when she has more time in her days. Meanwhile, besides all the work she has on the farm, she has a custom alternation business in her home. Clearly, she shares the sewing skills of Brian’s grandmother Meta. The barn was built in 1921 — a typical post and beam dairy barn. The Honebrinks purchased the property in the early 1980s and built an addition to the barn. For 25 years, Brain and Suzanne and their now grown children, milked cows and produced 450 acres of grain — corn and soybeans. Today, their agricultural operations continue, and in the barn, they have started a new venture: a calf nursery. Meta is now 10 6. Due to failing health, she is not able to appreciate the excitement

The custom quilt block on the Honebrink barn in Belle Plaine is based on one designed by Brian Honebrink’s grandmother Meta Luebke. The original quilt was sold at auction, but stayed in the family as it was purchased by a relative for Brian and his wife Suzanne (pictured with the barn quilt).

Martin Walsh, Parks, appeared before the Board to review the Park Commission’s recommendation to fund inspections for aquatic invasive species at Lake Minnewashta Regional Park for 2012. He pointed on the ongoing dialogue that began with the Homeowners Association earlier this year. Walsh explained the Park Commission recommended funding be provided for inspections and explained the Park Commission’s reasoning for supporting the funding. He pointed this was contrary to staff ’s recommendation. He explained the County could enter into a contract arrangement with DNR to provide inspection services. He stated a number of levels of service can be provided and highlighted the services provided under each level. Walsh reviewed the training that would be required and the potential need to direct someone to a decontamination station. Dave Peterjohn, 3921 Hawthorne Circle, Excelsior, stated he was a resident of the County and requested the Board’s support for this project. He pointed out that the DNR is not in a position to adequately protect all lakes and the DNR is overwhelmed with the number of lakes in Minnesota. He stated high traffic lakes are vulnerable and this pilot program is designed to benefit all County lakes. He stated boat owners were likely to go to other lakes as well and there is a benefit outside of Lake Minnewashta. He pointed out the consequences of infestation. He suggested Lake Minnewashta was an ideal candidate because there was one public access, defined park hours, it is under the management of the County Parks and the Lake Minnewashta Homeowners Association was a dedicated partner. He believed this action would prove to be a progressive action by the County to test and see if it was something that could be implemented throughout County Parks. Steve Gunther, 3628 Hickory Road, Chanhassen and 1500 Meadow Lane, Chaska, stated he has been a resident since 1998 and President of the Lake Minnewashta Preservation Association. He stated he has been working with the DNR and the County for a number of months on this issue. He stated he was very concerned about the infestation of aquatic invasive species and believed there would be significant financial impacts and impacts on the recreational use of lakes. He pointed out the lakes in close proximity that are now infested and that they have been working as actively as they can with the DNR and while the DNR has the authority they do not have the resources. He pointed out the number of lakes that DNR needs to protect and random inspections are all they could hope for from the DNR.

publicnotices He suggested that the communities needed to step up and DNR needs to get authority to delegate inspections to a lower level of government. He indicated once that happens they would have the ability to act as the gatekeeper to prevent the spread of invasive species. Gunther stated they need to budget funding in the event the authority is delegated to the County and when asked to step up and implement the program. He stated they needed both the authority and the funds. He believed this was a local problem in that they have resources they want to protect and they cannot rely on the DNR. Gunther recommended the Board support the Park Commission’s recommendation and allocate the $30,000 in the 2012 budget. He also expressed his support of the Board’s legislative priority asking the State to put higher emphasis on the prevention of aquatic invasive species. The Board discussed the extent of the control they have of the lakes within in the County and potential for other lakes to also ask for assistance. Eric Evenson, representing Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, stated if zebra mussels are established it would affect the quality of life on the lake and the ecology of the lake will destroy fisheries. He stated his Board is also trying to understand what their role will be and they have been talking with communities. He stated, if they were going to do something, it has to be done in a collaborative manner and if they were to proceed would work with communities that want to do something. He stated he would be willing to discuss this with his Board to see if they were willing to match the resources the County is offering. Bill Olson, Minnehaha Creek District Manager, stated they have been discussing this for about a year and highlighted his discussions with the DNR. He stated their tenyear plan is up for renewal in 2017 and currently do not have anything allocated for aquatic invasive species. He indicated they needed to have a plan amendment in place. He added he would support a joint effort to fund a stop gap that would bridge them to a point where the watershed plays a major role. Evenson stated the logistics are in place to have something in place by May 15th and believed his Board would be willing to assist if they had a partnership on the cost share. He clarified he would be comfortable recommending to his Board a 50-50 cost share to do something at Lake Minnewashta. Evenson agreed to bring this issue before his Board at their December 8th meeting and to ask his Board if they are interested in a partnership. He saw no reason they could not have an agreement prepared by the end of the year. The Board discussed not acting on this item until the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Board has had an opportunity to discuss it as well as staff having future discussions with other watershed districts and possibly other lake associations to come up with a plan. Workman moved, Degler seconded, to table action on the aquatic invasive species inspections at Lake Minnewashta Regional Park to the December 13, 2011, Board meeting. Motion carried unanimously. David Hemze, County Administrator, requested the Board adopt the County’s 2012 legislative priorities. He pointed out last week they reviewed the list at their work session and, as in the past, they focused on a handful of issues. He acknowledged there were many other issues, but they were relying on other groups or associations for assistance on those. He explained each of the issues that related to capital projects, control and management of intrusive species and protecting or increasing County revenue sources. Lyndon Robjent, Public Works, highlighted the priorities under his Division. Hemze clarified that the issue to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species was submitted to AMC so that item would also be considered as part of their platform. Degler moved, Ische seconded, to adopt Carver County’s 2012 legislative priorities as outlined. Motion carried unanimously. Gary Bork, Community Social Services, requested the Board approve the hiring of a Health Care Navigator position in Mental Health to be paid out of grant money. He stated the position would work with the outpatient unit to increase revenues by moving county paid therapy sessions to medical assistance. Ische moved, Degler seconded, to approve the creation of a 1.0 FTE health care navigator and related budget amendment. Motion carried unanimously. David Frischmon, Finance, requested the Board adopt a Resolution authorizing and awarding the sale of general obligation tax abatement bonds. He noted the public hearing held on November 1st and indicated the bonds would be used to finance the County’s portion of the joint powers agreement with the City of Chaska for the Engler Boulevard improvement project. He stated sealed bids were opened this morning and the County was reaffirmed its Triple AAA bond rating. Carolyn Drude, Ehlers and Associates, reviewed the six bids received. She stated the best bid was received from United Bankers Bank. She indicated they were able to reduce the size of the bond sale as costs were not as high as estimated. She explained, in order to make the award, she was asking the Board to approve the Resolution distributed. Ische offered the following Resolution, seconded by Lynch: Resolution #61-11 Resolution Awarding Sale of $1,460,000 General Obligation Tax Abatement Bonds, Series 2012A, Fixing the Form and Specifications Thereof, Providing for their Execution and Delivery, and Providing for their Payment On vote taken, all voted aye.

Motion carried unanimously. Lynch moved, Degler seconded, to open the public hearing on proposed changes to the County fee schedule. Motion carried unanimously. David Frischmon, Finance, explained State law allows the County to recover costs associated with providing services and a public hearing was required. He stated there were no significant changes and some items were removed. No public testimony was received. Degler moved, Lynch seconded, to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. Ische moved, Degler seconded, to approve the 2012 County Fee Schedule as presented. Motion carried unanimously. Martin Walsh, Parks, appeared before the Board related to the Park Commission’s recommendation to fund aquatic invasive species inspections at Lake Minnewashta Park. He noted the Board’s previous motion to table action regarding the request and the meeting Minnehaha Creek Watershed District held December 8th to discuss the possibility of matching funds. Bill Olson, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Manager, stated the District is very busy with planning now and his Board voted last week to go ahead with an invasive species program in partnership with the DNR. He stated they intended to develop a program that could be rolled out across the State. He explained they made some major changes at their last meeting and highlighted their new focus. He added their new focus would set up the County for many pilot programs. He stressed the District was willing to partner with the County on a much more exaggerated basis and would like to do something county wide. He indicated they approved starting at a minimum of $15,000 and provide the County with a program. He stated they would be raising an additional $15,000 in other watersheds and when those funds are raised, would match that as well. Olson indicated this would fund a county wide effort and they would have a plan in place by the Governor’s opener. He stated they have approved matching a minimum of $15,000 with no upper limit and are working with other lake associations. He pointed out FRD technology that could be used in the future. Olson clarified they would be conducting a Lake Minnewashta inspection system, in conjunction with the lake association and partnering with the DNR, and that is part of the pilot program they are discussing. Joe Shneider, 1035 Holly Lane, Chanhassen, stated he represented the Christmas Lake Homeowners Association. He pointed out there were only four months until the start of the next boating season; that the threat was real and timing was critical. He stated the DNR simply does not have enough money to fight this effectively. He suggested the Board has an opportunity to do something that is critical. He stated the $15,000 was a start and recognized that may not be the last expense. He stressed there were a lot of lakes and the DNR cannot afford it all. He stated something needed to be done to stop the spread and encouraged the Board to get involved and take advantage of the cost sharing. Shneider explained his Homeowners Association was starting a letter writing campaign to their legislators and asking for the ability to require 100% inspection of boats to stop the spread; to ask the DNR to delegate their authority for inspections to local units of government and to ask the legislature to allow regional inspections. Olson clarified he would focus funding $30,000 at Lake Minnewashta and with the County’s $15,000 match they would raise an additional $60,000 to be used throughout the County. He stated they would help the County with a County wide program. Olson indicated the County’s $15,000 could be used where the County needs it. The Board discussed bringing the issue back into a work session to get further information on the details before bringing this to a vote. David Hemze, County Administrator, stated he could ask staff to come up with a recommended conceptual agreement so they know the dollars allocated; who is responsible for what programs and the additional funds that would be added by other watersheds. The Board agreed to bring this back at their January 10th work session. The Board commended Bill Olson and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District for taking the lead on this issue and Mr. Olson for his hard work. David Hemze, County Administrator, requested the Board adopt a Resolution approving the 2012 property tax levy and budget and 2013 Long Term Plan. He highlighted the services provided for the tax dollars levied. David Frischmon, Finance, reviewed the overall budget strategy to flat line the levy. He explained the Administrator’s recommendation of a 1.4 million levy decrease and pointed out the impact of the State changing the market value homestead credit. He identified the levy savings by division and reviewed a summary revenues and expenditures. He indicated the overall budget increase was related to an increase in capital projects not funded by tax levy. He noted levy savings in the areas of staffing and stated there were no layoffs mainly due to the early retirement program creating vacancies. Frischmon reviewed 2012 capital projects and the potential impact of shifting county program aid from capital projects to operations. He explained the tax impact to an average value home and to commercial properties. Frischmon reviewed proposed property tax levy changes for each of the metro counties and noted that Carver County had one of the highest decreases in the metro area. Frischmon summarized the 2012 Long Term Financial Plan and the Board’s direction to connect financial strategies to long term goals and objectives. He pointed out the plan is nonbinding and

Motion carried unanimously. Lynch moved, Degler seconded, to recess as the County Board and convene as the Carver County Regional Rail Authority. Frischmon requested the Rail Authority approve their 2012 levy and budget.

He explained this was an imitative of the ACCEL group to create a process for governments to share equipment on an as needed basis with the goal to reduce costs. Robjent indicated they would be working to include the townships in the future and he was asking for authority to amend the agreement as necessary to include the townships in the agreement. He highlighted a listing of equipment and explained anytime a city or county is doing a project they can look at the list and contact the County to inquire about the availability of equipment. Lynch moved, Ische seconded, to approve the equipment sharing agreement with the cities of Carver, Chanhassen, Chaska, Cologne, Hamburg, Mayer, New Germany, Norwood Young America, Victoria, Waconia and Watertown and to amend the agreement to include the townships if they are interested. Motion carried unanimously. Chair Maluchnik highlighted the County’s accomplishments in 2011. He pointed out the County’s continues to maintain its Triple AAA bond rating and has reduced the County property taxes on the average value home for the seventh consecutive year. He noted the County broke ground this year on a fiber ring that will connect over 80 community partners. Maluchnik recognized the awards received for the Express Libraries located in Victoria and Cologne and the library milestone of having over one million library materials circulated for the third year in a row. He identified road improvements that were completed and the recent reconstruction of the County Road 10 bridge. Maluchnik noted the development of their strategic plan that would guide County operations in the future. He recognized the completion of a new section of the Dakota Rail Trail and the Union Pacific Rail Line in Chaska that was acquired through a partnership and stressed the list of accomplishments went on. Maluchnik acknowledged the work of the dedicated employees, thanked residents for the opportunity to serve and thanked fellow Board members for their support. Ische congratulated Chair Maluchnik for his recent election as President of the Association of Minnesota Counties noting this was the first time Carver County has had one of its Commissioners serve as President of AMC. Ische moved, Degler seconded, to adjourn the Regular Session at 10:47 a.m. to go into a work session with Public Works. Motion carried unanimously.

Since 1980, Minnesota Adoption Resource Network (MARN) has been dedicated to the recruitment of adoptive families for Minnesota waiting children, advocating on behalf of adoptive, kinship and foster families, and maximizing opportunities for successful adoptions. Since we are not a child-placing agency, we can fully advocate for the children needing adoptive families. To many, zero means nothing. At MARN, when it comes to children waiting for families, zero means everything. www. zerokidswaiting.org

December CAP Agency – CAP Agency - Organized in 1965, as part of President Lyndon Johnson’s “War on Poverty” movement, the agency began as the Scott-Carver Economic Council providing co-op farming programs, Head Start and Senior Citizen Centers to residents of Scott and Carver Counties.

Now numerous programs strong, three counties wide and over 40 years old, the CAP Agency offers a varied menu of services in each county, and continues to grow and evolve to reﬂect its commitment to address the unmet needs of the community. http://preview.capagency.org

outhwest Newspapers will promote Jeans Day and all the participating businesses in each of its seven community newspapers every month. We’ll provide you with Jeans Day stickers for your participating employees to wear. We also will give you “table tents” to explain to customers why employees are dressed casually. Southwest Newspapers retains less than 10% of the donations to cover the cost of stickers, mailings and other promotional material. Southwest Newspapers also donates all the ads placed in the paper promoting Jeans Day. In short, this program will cost you nothing. It will boost employee morale. It will pleasantly unite all of the Greater Southwest Metro area for a worthwhile cause, and hopefully will raise lots of money for local non-proﬁts. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact Jennifer Sorenson at jsorenson@ swpub.com or 952-3456477. Thanks, Jeans Day Committee
