What’s too late for kids?

Victoria drops curfew law

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

Angling to get his citizenship merit badge, Kyle Simon, of Boy Scout Trip 337, stood before the Victoria

City Council on Jan. 9 and asked why the city’s curfew ordinance didn’t match up with that of Carver County.

At the time, the council was considering a repeal of its curfew law (which restricted minors under 17 years of age from being on public property after 11 p.m.) to fall in line with the county’s more complex ordinance.

The Chanhassen High School student and Victoria resident said that he wasn’t personally affected by the

curfew ordinance, but decided to take up the issue that has vexed some of his fellow classmates.

“For Boy Scouts we had to ask a question to Mayor Thun of Victoria,” he explained in an e-mail. “As I was thinking about what to choose, I thought about my classmates and their questions and that was one that was brought up.”

In the end, the Victoria council voted unanimously to rescind the city’s

curfew ordinance, leaving Chaska as the only city in Carver County with a curfew law on the books that differs from that of the rest of the county.

Dancing like champs

T

welve times during t h e 2 0 1 1- 2 0 1 2 s e a son, Chaska danced like champions. The H aw k s a d d e d t w o more electrifying performances to its résumé, and along the way captured two state titles this weekend at the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis.

Chaska is the fi rst double state champion in any class since St.

Cloud Cathedral in 2010. It was the fi rst state title in jazz/funk for the Hawks Dance Team. Coming into the season, Chaska had one state championship in high kick in 1999.

The defending champions from Sartell-St. Stephen earned runnerup honors and St. Cloud Cathedral placed third in high kick Saturday.

The defending champions from Benilde-St. Margaret’s of St. Louis Park placed second and TotinoGrace of Fridley took third in jazz/ funk Friday.

A divided Carver City Council decided this month not to go into the business of selling alcoholic beverages.

Councilors rejected a recommendation by City Administrator Brent Mareck to hire a Minneapolis company that would have conducted a market study about the potential of the city government opening a liquor store in Carver.

Mayor Greg Osterdyk and Councilors Glen Henry and Mike Webb voted against issuing a maximum $7,800 contract to McComb Group, Ltd. and later said they wanted to stop exploring the concept of running a municipal liquor store.

“It’s dead with me,” said Henry, who became the tie-breaker during the Feb. 6 council meeting.

Seniors Jackie Schneider and Alyson Pulvermacher were named to the 2012 Jazz/Funk All-Tournament Team, while seniors Casey Stone and K a ra Notvedt were selected to the 2012 High Kick AllTournament Team.

The dances were titled “I Am Lost” for jazz/funk, and “Found in Egypt” for high kick.

In Chaska, the curfew ordinance is a simplified version of what the county has. For minors aged 15 and younger, curfew is 10 p.m., for 16 and 17-year-olds, it’s midnight.

Over a 25 -month period, from January 2010 to February 2012, the Chaska Police issued 136 warnings or citations for violations of curfew. (The Carver County Sheriff’s Office did not respond to requests for curfew statistics.)

Cedergren said that having different curfew ordinances in the county hasn’t presented a problem to his office thus far. “We support and honor [Chaska’s curfew ordinance] even though I think it would be better if they were all the same,” he said.

Political shakeup

BY MARK W. OLSON editor@chaskaherld.com

MORE ONLINE

A special Minnesota judicial panel released its redistricting plan for Minnesota on Tuesday afternoon.

As expected, there were some major changes that reflect Carver County’s 30 percent population growth between 2000 and 2010. Among the biggest changes – the new Second Congressional District, current ly represented by U.S. Congressman John Kline, no longer includes Carver County.

“It’s been an honor for him to serve Carver County for basically the last 10 years and he’ll continue to serve [the county] for the next nine or 10 months,” said Kline’s communication director Troy Young. “We’re disappointed to see Carver County move out of the Second District.”

Carver County will instead be split between the Third and Sixth Congressional districts. The Third Congressional District would represent the northeastern Carver County towns of Chaska, Chanhassen and Victoria. The Carver County cities would join the district (wrapped like a crescent around Minneapolis and its inner ring suburbs) with other western and northern outer-ring suburbs such as Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, Bloomington, Maple Grove and Coon Rapids.

The Third District is currently represented by Erik Pau l sen ( R-Eden P rai rie) , whose home would remain in the district. “I’m excited to represent my parents where I grew up in Chanhassen,” said Paulsen, a 1983 Chaska High School graduate.

Paulsen said he called his parents, Jerry and Jan Paulsen, after the redistricting map was released. “I said, ‘Now you can send me letters,’” he said.

SIXTH DISTRICT The city of Carver, now in the Sixth District, is split off from other eastern Carver County towns in the Congressional move. It joins western Carver County as the southern tip of the new Sixth District, which now stretches north to

St. Cloud and around the north metro.

The Sixth District is currently represented by Michele B ach m a n n ( R- S t i l lwat er) , whose home of Stillwater now ends up in Betty McCollum’s district. However, Bachmann announced Tuesday that she still plans to run in the Sixth District.

STATE LEGISLATURE T he pa nel splits Ca r ver County into two state senate districts, with 12,049 residents in District 33 and 78,993 residents in District 47.

Most of the county is in Senate District 47. House District 47A covers Carver, Cologne, Waconia and the rural areas of Carver County. Meanwhile, 47B will represent the more densely populated eastern portion of the county – Chaska and most of Victoria and Chanhassen.

T he nor theast cor ner of Carver County, a large portion of Chanhassen, is now in Senate District 33 and House District 33B. This district will also represent most of the Lake Minnetonka communities.

None of the three state politicians currently representing Carver County have been kicked out of their district with the new boundaries. Representatives Ernie Leidiger and Joe Hoppe and Sen. Julianne Ortman all live in a redrawn district without another incumbent.

“It’s hard to complain. It was a great district, and I think it will be again,” said Hoppe, now in 47B. Ortman, now in 47, said she was “very happy” with her new district. She remains hopeful that, come Election Day, the GOP Senate will maintain its majority status. “We have some work to do, but we’re ready to do it,” She said.

Leidiger did not return calls seeking comment.

Researchers tag carp on Lotus Lake in Chanhassen last week.

Netting and tagging carp Researchers pulled nearly 100 carp out of Lotus Lake in Chanhassen last week, tagged them, and returned them to the lake. Carp are tagged in order to estimate the number of total carp in the lake next year.

If 1,000 carp are caught next year on the fi rst netting, and only five have tags, researchers can assume a population of approximately 20,000 carp in the lake, and know how many to harvest.

Dr. Peter Sorensen, of the

Un iver sit y of M i n ne s ot a , r u ns t he project which is funded by the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District.

Sorensen and his team will return to Lotus Lake next year to harvest as many carp as pos-

sible based on the estimated population. A similar project on Lake Riley removed 25,000 carp from that lake.

Carp produce a lot of phosphorus, which is bad for the lake, and a major cause of the green algae blooms.

Curriculum changes at middle school

BY CHUCK FRIEDBAUER friedchu@yahoo.com

District 112 officials are planning more changes to the middle school curriculum.

For example, beginning next school year, students will be able to take include accelerated science classes and enroll in both band and choir at the same time.

“As a district, we are committed to being adaptable, creative and providing the best instruction for our students,” said Cathy Gallagher, District 112 K-12 curriculum coordinator. “In our world today, it is critical to be open to changes in best practices and allow yourself to change and grow.”

Chaska Middle School East principal Jim Bach said the district has had to focus energy and resources into building construction and transitions

in the recent past. “Now we’re able to look within our classrooms to continually improve the programming for our students,” he said.

SCIENCE X Some aspects of current middle school programs will be new, while others will be removed or modified.

New additions to middle school programs will arrive in the science department.

Accelerated science classes for all grades will be added next year, with an entire new science curriculum to follow the year after.

“The accelerated science classes will offer more complexity, depth and topics for students ready to take that step,” said Thul. “It will be similar to the Language Arts X classes and placement into the classes will be based on

standardized test results.” In addition, there will be more courses based on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and technology integration.

District officials are also beginning to look into programs for highly gifted students.

“We hope to complete our research by September and have a plan to meet the needs of students capable of performing two or more years beyond their grade level,” said Thul.

T he mo d i f ic at ion s w i l l mostly be to existing electives. Beginning in si xthgrade, students will have the option of taking two music classes, such as band, choir or orchestra, instead of personal wellness.

“We’ve received feedback that a small number of families would prefer the multiple music choices to personal

wellness,” said Nancy Thul, District 112 secondary curriculum coordinator. And gone will be the “hexters” courses which last only six weeks, or half of a trimester.

“Based on input from students, parents and staff, we felt it was appropriate to do away with that format,” said Bach.

The district’s secondary program redesign, which impacted grades 6 to 12, was implemented three years ago.

Middle schools underwent revised electives, new Language Arts coursework and classes, Algebra 1 for eighth-grade, and fu l l-year high schoolequivalent language offerings.

Thul said the upcoming changes are a continued part of the redesign. “We want to be more adaptive to change to make sure we can make adjustments when they appear necessary,” she said.

EDITORIAL

Commuting to bipartisanship When it comes to bipartisanship, it’s been a rough start to the Minnesota legislative session. And we can only imagine what’s going to happen as the election year progresses.

Of note was the recent dust-up between DFL Gov. Mark Dayton and local GOP Sen. Julianne Ortman over the rejection of Ellen Anderson as Minnesota Public Utilities Commission chair. We’d like to ask both our governor and our senator to please refrain from lobbing the word “extreme” around. It’s a grenade term best used to describe rock climbing, mountain biking, skateboarding and other ESPN8 sports.

For a moment, we were having flashbacks to the legendary face-offs between Chaska Rep. Carol Molnau and Gov. Jesse Ventura of yesteryear.

So it was heartening when, earlier this month, Dayton came to Shakopee

to pledge support for an upgraded, expanded and flood-proofed Highway 101 crossing over the Minnesota River. “If the fi rst $25 million comes through, I’ll be glad to work with your legislators on the other $10 million,” Dayton told the crowd.

In 2010, Ortman and Sen. Claire Robling (R-Jordan) began lobbying for an upgraded area river crossing.

Now, across the political aisle, Dayton has given a river crossing his public stamp of approval.

Local commuters know what a pain the past few years have been, with frequent flooding adding hours, and dollars, to their drives.

The crossing improvements have already received near-universal support from local city and county governments. We hope that our elected representatives continue to cross party lines so we can cross the river.

‘We’re from Chaska and no one could be prouder’ One of the things you will be hearing more about over the next few months is an effort by the city and Chaska High School called the “Pride of Chaska.”

The discussion will focus on the creation of a website, prideofchaska. com, which houses all that is available regarding the city and school. It will be a repository of services and information that will be made available to all members of our community.

This collaborative effort will share the many products and services available to our community, which reinforces the quality of our community and the school themselves. So look for more information on this effort.

Hats off to the city, high school representatives and community volunteers that have been involved in making this a reality. It is a step in building a stronger sense of community pride for all we call Chaska.

As we talk about building the Pride of Chaska, it is important to believe in the spirit of community. I know for some this may seem like a pretty flimsy discussion, the spirit of a community.

I do believe communities can, and some do, demonstrate the pride and spirit they have for the community.

Bob

ROEPKE GUEST COMMENTARY

When Money magazine came out to take a longer look at Chaska after we scored highly in a number of their “Best places to live” evaluation categories, they wanted to experience the sense of community.

“Well what will you be looking for?” they were asked. “Don’t worry,” they said. “We will know when we come out there if we experience it.”

And they came out and found a strong sense of community. So to be sure, a spirit of community, the pride we have in our community, is real and exists and can be felt.

That too is a focus of the Pride of Chaska – to build an even stronger sense of community spirit and community pride. There are so many good stories and so many

positive things to highlight and reflect on as it relates to Chaska High School and its students and staff, and for the community we call home.

Ask students who attend Chaska High School and they will tell you how they feel – positive and supportive of each other. That alone should be enough to excite us and make us proud.

Go out and talk with people who have experienced the support of others in the community and see how they feel about the spirit of community in Chaska.

Talk to members of our industrial business community about their investment in Chaska and how they feel about doing business in Chaska.

Do we have challenges? Sure, but the response is that Chaska will respond.

Our downtown needs support, but committed people are working to improve downtown to be all it can be. What we can’t let happen is for negatives to overcome positives.

We can’t let idle observations negate positive progress in what our schools can and are accomplishing.

We can’t let negative rumor-based discussions overcome how our students truly feel. We all must seize the opportunity to share and learn from the diversity of who we are,

and be stronger and better because of that. The ability to share diverse perspectives and experiences frankly is a strength not a weakness.

We must work together, as is emphasized in the Pride of Chaska effort, to underscore those positives and celebrate those positives and say “We’re from Chaska and no one could be prouder.”

Our 161-year history and heritage as a true community is rich and deep. Our 107-year history as a high school is rich and deep.

As we reflect on that rich history, let us carry it into our future and build that sense of pride in who we are and what we stand for.

We are a strong and healthy community, and we have many things to be proud of: community centers; golf courses; parks and trails; quality city services; strong faith community; healthy industrial parks and tax base; community celebrations; Friday night band concerts; Chaska Cubs Amateur Baseball in a great, small-town ball park; low property taxes; outstanding natural resources; technology; below average utility rates; quality education system with quality educators who are builders of community; health and medical services; goods and retail services; safety and security; the commitment

of all those that serve us; our high school; our sense of community; and the list goes on.

And again, do we have challenges and opportunities that need to be addressed? We do, just as every community does. But we can draw from that sense of community spirit and pride, and address challenges and opportunities together and become an even healthier place.

We cannot let the glass-halfempty view of the world overcome the positives. We cannot let those that find fault far too easily and far too often negate all the good our community stands for.

Rather, together we can support the Pride of Chaska effort and say this is our home, this is our school and we believe in what it stands for.

We believe in our history and we want to support an even brighter future for all and we’re on board.

Let share this vision, let’s share these values and let’s share the pride!

Let’s build that sense of community pride and spirit and with our kids all say together, “We’re from Chaska and no one could be prouder and if you don’t believe it, we’ll yell a little louder!”

Bob Roepke is a former Chaska mayor.

Let the woods stay one of the few natural resources that we hold with highest value. Another manmade playground of concrete, rubber and metal pipes should not trump the beauty of nature and the endless opportunities to let it bless us all.

I recommend that funds be used to fi x the failure of downtown businesses, bring economy and excitement back to another one of our overlooked natural resources, the river. Please fi x what is broken, before you start breaking what never needed fi xing!

in Chaska. We may also consider discounted items at each new business weekly? The Chaska bricks theme may not increase retail shopping.

Downtown Carver has antique shops, but it is becoming a ghost town.

Today, the Rainbow area is Chaska’s shopping choice for local purchases.

Eden Prairie and Chanhassen have been voted the top-rated cities in the state and have best practices for us to model when considering changes.

We know two new restaurants will be added soon downtown. It would also be great to have a Panera Bread, Applebee’s, fitness center, Dollar Store, and Party City with easy parking in our downtown section.

If Walmart is not approved for Chanhassen, why not invite this retailer to Chaska. The Klingelhutz site should hold stores that will draw folks to “our town” instead of Eden Prairie, Shakopee and Chanhassen.

It is sad to see the Chaska movie theater recently close, and this only adds to the brickyard gravesite town increasing the percentage of unoccupied business sites. It is concerning to see the number of empty buildings in town.

The next growing area will be the location by the Mills Fleet Farm. It is possible the Walmart, Costco and Sam’s stores would consider this location in the future, which will not benefit downtown Chaska.

Thank you to the Chaska planning

team. We know you are closer to implementation of the plan to improve our city. We still can promote and recruit the businesses that will bring folks from other towns to Chaska.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR GRIEP PARK

Paving paradise to put in a park Have you heard the song “Big Yellow Taxi,” by Joni Mitchell? “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot” and “They cut down the trees and put ’em in a tree museum.” Sadly, it’s singing our reality.

Chaska has been a wonderful community to live in and raise a family, and I haven’t given much thought to development as it has grown over the years. No doubt, there must have been “issues” with land and homeowners when new Highway 212 went in, which suddenly connected us with a fast lane to popular destinations closer to the Twin Cities.

Now that progress has inched its way into my own backyard however, I’m gonna start barking like a watchdog. Griep Park has been a mysteriously slated plan from before the time we moved to Chaska. Thankfully it got tabled for the last 10 years, where it should have died. Its developers plan to bulldoze a chunk of natural woodlands on the quiet trail system behind us to give our neighborhood yet another playground, while just across both Engler and Bavaria roads, (and still on the trail system) are two enormous playgrounds in de-

lightful meadowland. Seldom have I seen children and parents using these playgrounds to their capacity, if at all.

In talking to the city, they assured me that they would leave some of the taller trees when they put in Griep Park, and in doing so, make it unique.

OK then, let’s all put on our thinking caps and take a walk down that scenario trail.

Assume that they do the honorable thing and leave the trees. That will leave shade. Shade will invite mosquitoes, spiders, ticks, webs, messy seeds, sticks and falling debris after wind and rain. That screams for continual maintenance. Maintenance costs money and time. Eventually, it will fall into disrepair such as the disastrous eye sore Lake Grace has become.

Let’s also think about the deer that live right there! Let’s think about the animals and the birds that made those bulldozed trees their homes, yes, even the worthless “scrub trees” where bunnies hide.

Griep Park needs to be tabled and buried for good.

Thank you Chaska, for thinking about us though; thinking that each and every neighborhood “pod” needs its own jungle gym and that this is a good way to spend our money. No, we have plenty of yard space for private swing sets where we can watch our own children. Many in this neighborhood even have swimming pools now!

VOTER ID

Would banks use the honor system?

No ID equals no integrity!

Minnesotans have been for many years been relying on the honor system at polling places, and our elections have sorely lacked integrity.

It’s an absolute fact that the state of Minnesota has no way to confi rm the identities of many thousands of its voters, including “vouched for” voters and those who have only a utility bill to prove residency.

In fact, Minnesota Sen. Warren Limmer said last year that 23,000 Election Day registration postcards were “returned to sender” in 2008, a year when Democrat Al Franken somehow overcame Norm Coleman’s Election Night lead and won Minnesota’s U.S. Senate seat by just 312 votes.

Reform would offer more affordable judicial system Julianne

ORTMAN GUEST COMMENTARY

depending on the type of case.

Our state’s default statute of limitation is six years, unless it is otherwise specified by the law. Minnesota is one of only three states with a six-year default statute; the national average is only three years. The governor vetoed our proposal for a four-year default, which would shorten the length of time in many cases. Courts often hear cases filed on the last day of the sixyear period and these cases can then require an additional two years to even reach trial.

It is in all our best interests to ensure that parties in our courts do not bear overly burdensome or unnecessary legal costs. For businesses, as for individuals, there’s a price to be paid for spending that much time engaged in litigation.

For our courts (and the taxpayers that fund them) it means a heavier caseload when lawyers can file lawsuits here when other states have decided that the claims and

the evidence are probably too old to be fairly adjudicated.

Our six-year statute was adopted at statehood, when the pony express delivered mail, it took weeks to travel to interview witnesses, and lawyers hired clerks to prepare handwritten copies of court documents. This is one way to reduce the cost of doing business in Minnesota.

The governor shouldn’t take issue with our attempts to bring Minnesota’s courts in to the 21st century.

Gov. Dayton also vetoed our bill authorizing early review by Minnesota’s appellate courts to conduct an early review of a district court’s decision to certify a few named plaintiffs to advance a class action lawsuit (ginormous litigation on behalf of hundreds or thousands of plaintiffs). Now our appellate court may only review the decision after the lawsuit has concluded, which in most cases is too late. These are the complex questions appellate courts are designed to review, and early review would provide the parties an assessment of the merits of the claims, and assessment of risk and liability – which often leads to an earlier settlement, and lower costs to consumers.

Finally, Gov. Dayton vetoed the bill to tie Minnesota’s prejudgment interest rate to the U.S. Treasury Rate (with a floor of 4 percent as a minimum).

Legislation from 2009 set the interest rate at 10 percent! This

can be a perverse incentive to invest in litigation, because the 10 percent return on investment is way better than any rate in the marketplace.

In 2010 Minnesota’s schools, cities and counties complained that the pre-judgment interest produced too big a strain on their budgets; they lobbied for and received an exception (now they pay only the Treasury Rate or the 4 percent minimum). Clearly the same is true in the private sector, and the same rate should be applied to them. Claimants in court should earn a reasonable amount of interest, but 10 percent goes too far in today’s economy.

Minnesotans deserve swift justice, and the ability to reach fair resolution of their disputes within a reasonable amount of time and expense.

The House and Senate passed these reforms with bipartisan support. Sixty-two thousand employers and individuals across Minnesota formed a coalition to support these proposals and asked the governor for support.

By vetoing the bills he denied the reasonable requests of the residents he was elected to serve, and has denied us all a more accessible and affordable judicial system.

Gov. Dayton put his political agenda ahead of the best interests of Minnesota by vetoing lawsuit reform bills that passed both the Senate and the House with bipartisan support. These common sense reforms would have made our courts more accessible and affordable for all Minnesotans: individuals, families and businesses, plaintiffs and defendants alike.

As all who have ever been in Minnesota’s justice system know, our courts are busy, over-burdened, and the time to trial is lengthy. The reforms were designed to provide more cost-effective resolution of disputes.

Conciliation Court is the fastest court in Minnesota; it is an informal venue where litigants can seek quick and inexpensive review of disputes of less than $7,500. Neither party is required to have an attorney, which makes the process cost-effective.

Examiners review and assess evidence, and issue nonbinding decisions (either party can take the matter to the District Court if not satisfied).

The governor vetoed a proposal to raise the limit for disputes to $10,000, which would allow more cases to be heard in Conciliation Court.

This is about equal access to justice as many Minnesotans cannot afford to bring their disputes to the District Court.

Putting a thumb in the debate I’m a pastor. But there are days when I wonder whether I belong in the Christian Church, whether I’m really a Christian.

Ever wonder that about yourself ? Or have you left the church as a matter of dissent, embarrassment, or protest?

Take the last two weeks.

President Obama shares his faith at a National Prayer Breakfast. He declares that we are “our brother’s keeper.” I feel proud. The comments on CNN run heavily against him.

Ayn Rand’s “the virtue of selfishness” – not the story of Cain and Abel or the teaching of Jesus – has won the hearts of the people.

Rick Santorum tells an Ohio audience that Obama’s agenda is based on “some phony theology, not a theology based on the Bible.” I feel sad … and angry.

I read the story about the church court case of the Rev. Jane Spahr, a lesbian Presbyterian minister rebuked for officiating at same-gender marriages, one of them the wedding of Lisa Bove. Lisa was an ordained student elder at the church I served at The College of Wooster. She went on to seminary and was ordained a Minister of Word and Sacrament. I feel proud of Janie and Lisa, their tenacity, their courage, their strong and gentle spirits, their deep faith.

I feel sad that the church still doesn’t get it.

I’m embarrassed by how ridiculous the church debate is and how absurd this church

photo ID issue in Minnesota is a “big fat lie” (We do not have a voter fraud issue,” Feb. 16).

In fact, continuing with the current honor system at Minnesota polling places would be every bit as absurd as it would be to rely on the honor system at our banks. Mr. Perschmann, would you save at a bank that relies on the good will of all customers just because a handful of persons may be challenged by having to verify their ID? Would it be OK with you if ID-challenged customers just leave a note to let your banker know what they’ve deposited

STEWART GUEST COMMENTARY

family feud looks to the world.

I want to withdraw, pull the covers over my head, go to sleep, take a sedative maybe.

But I’m also angry. I want to fight. I want to weigh in on the debate. Yet to do so will only continue the polarization, the disrespect for others, the tendency on all sides of a church argument to proclaim with Little Jack Horner, “What a good boy am I!” If I stick my thumb in the pie, I’ll just continue the ludicrous display of Christian arrogance. What to do? To keep silence feels like abdication of conscience. To speak adds my voice to the appearance of the church’s absurdity. But I’m a big fan of the Theater of the Absurd and Albert Camus, as well as Jesus.

I decide to stick my thumb in the story. My comment is the first thumb in a hot pie: “I know Jane Spahr and Lisa Bove as colleagues and love them both. Lisa was a student leader at the

and withdrawn?

Don’t ask us to continue to settle for election results that can’t be verified! The people we elect make decisions that profoundly affect all of us every day and the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled already that Indiana’s Photo ID requirement is constitutional.

Democrats, fighting desperately to maintain the current system that enables massive fraud, won’t tell you that any proposed Minnesota photo ID ballot question will ensure that everyone can vote on Election Day, but only once. Those without proper ID would vote provisionally, their ballots to be counted (if an election is close) when their ID is verified.

Westminster Presbyterian Church at The College of Wooster where I served as Pastor. Jane is that rare minister of the gospel who has managed to remain gentle and bold, acting in conscience and ecclesiastical disobedience without becoming hard or cynical. Lisa is the same.

“When you’ve been working for GLBT full inclusion as long as Jane and Lisa, that’s a testimony to their soulfulness.

For Jane, Lisa, and so many of us, the Bible calls disciples of Jesus to live in love and to be advocates for justice. The Presbyterian Church (USA) last year restored an older principle of church order that removes the restriction against ordaining GLBT members.

“The issue of marriage remains contentious in the church, as it is in the society as a whole. Some pastors have declared that until church and civil law permit them to officiate at same-sex marriages, they will not marry anyone as a witness to justice.

Jane and Lisa are sweet, sweet spirits whose lives bear witness to justice, love and peace, working from that inner light of courage, conscience and consolation that keeps them sane and strong.”

Three replies come quickly: 1) “You are a faithful and honest servant of God. It has taken a long time, but every year there are more like you.” (i.e., “What a good boy am I! Good boy!”); and 2) “Pastors should know

and preach the truth of God’s word. Please read: 1 Tim: 3:1-7 and Titus 1: 5-9 When folks go against the truth of God’s word, then they are following deceit and you should know who the great deceiver is.” (“Bad boy! Bad boy!”)

3) “Let’s hope this church sees the light and retracts the rebuke. And perhaps even apologizes.”

Then this morning a classmate sends me this story about an apology: “Christian Group Shows Up to Chicago Gay Pride Holding Apologetic Signs.”

I wish I’d been there to hold one of these signs.

I’ve experienced the forgiving hugs of gay and lesbian church members. And when I write comment or a commentary like this one, I hear a little voice inside myself: “Good boy! Good boy!”

Then, as soon as I feel the relief, I know I’ve fallen into the very self-righteousness I despise in others. “Bad boy!

Bad boy!” and I’m back where I started: “God help us ALL!” The Rev. Gordon Stewart is pastor of Shepherd of the Hill Presbyterian Church, 145 Engler Boulevard in Chaska; and host of the First Tuesday Dialogues.

Stewart’s guest commentaries air frequently on “All Things Considered” (MPR 91.1 FM) and his perspectives are published by the Chaska Herald, Presbyterian Outlook, MinnPost.com and MPR. His “Views from the Edge” blog can be found at http://gordoncstewart.com.

promoters, limit our options as consumers.

Instead of a buying your ticket and owning it, with all of the rights that ownership implies, you never really own a restricted ticket, and if you want to sell it or give it away you must go through the original ticket seller to do so.

These restrictions allow the sports team or concert venue to set the resale price for your ticket and to charge you extra fees for the privilege of transferring your ticket. It’s ridiculous.

Restrictive tickets are bad for consumers and I would like to see our legislators take action to stop them.

Off the wall is off the charts Niche community ed classes prove popular

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

Nestled among the standard computer, cooking and fitness class listings, the Easter n Carver County Community Education catalog harbors some eye-catching entries.

Dance the Argentine Tango, create Viking weave jewelry, build a personal solar station – these are just a few of the unique things locals can try their hand at this year through the adult education program.

And as it turns out, residents seem drawn to the of f-the beaten path selections in the semi-annual catalog.

“History has proven that the more off-beat the topic, the better,” said Nicolette Abel, specialist with the Adult Education program.

Abel chuckles over some of the ideas that have been proposed and yet notes that those tend to be the classes that people sign up for. “It sounds crazy and we think it will never go and then it does.”

For the last two Octobers, community ed has offered a Thriller Line Dance class that gives students the opportunity to perfect the moves to Michael Jackson’s signature song. “It is so popular we had to start a waiting list,” said Abel.

L o c a l s t h at wer e luck y enough to secure a spot in the class came dressed for the occasion, complete with Thriller jackets and even sparkly white gloves.

PREPARED Those are the kind of students Carol Schaub loves to have in class. The best students come “prepared to be a participant, ask questions and interact with instructor and other class participants,” she wrote in an e-mail.

Schaub teaches two classes for community ed – “Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day” and “Jams, Jellies, Butters and Marmalades.” Abel said that niche classes like Schaub’s have struck a chord with area residents.

“Hobbies and special interest classes that really appeal to a niche have had the greatest success,” said Abel.

That doesn’t mean that community ed will stop offering the basics, however.

“Our main goal is to provide something for everyone,” said Abel. “That’s why you see classes from one end of the spectrum to the other.”

“I believe it is important that the class be relevant to the student,” wrote Schaub.

Luanne Englehardt (far left), of Chaska, Ann O’Neill, of Victoria, and Ann Kasid, of Chaska were among the lucky ones to get into the Thriller Line Dance class. They came decked out in their finest Michael Jackson gear.

Abel said that community education classes offer a lot of positives, including low commit ment (most classes last just one session) and low cost (many classes run from $25 to $35).

“It really is entertainment and education at a bargain

price,” she said.

“We provide a safe environment to try something new,” Abel continued. “And it can spark new hobbies and friendships.”

Students can learn the art of sushi, hula hoop their way to better health and even how to represent themselves in divorce proceedings.

Produced by the Minnesota State Fair in conjunction with the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation, the Century Farms Program was created to promote agriculture and honor historic family farms in the state. Nearly 9,200 Minnesota farms have been honored since the program began in 1976, according to a press release.

Family farms are recognized

as Century Farms when they meet three requirements. The farm must be: 1) at least 100 years old according to authentic land records; 2) in continuous family ownership for at least 100 years (continuous residence on the farm is not required); and 3) at least 50 acres.

A commemorative certificate signed by State Fair Board of Managers President Jim Foss, Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation President Kevin Paap and Gov. Mark Dayton will be

awarded to qualifying families, along with an outdoor sign signifying Century Farm status.

Applications are available online at mnstatefair.org (click the “Recognition Programs” link at the bottom of the home page); at fbmn.org; by calling the State Fair at (651) 28 8 4400; or at statewide county extension and county Farm Bureau offices. The submission deadline is April 2. Recipients will be announced in May. Previously recognized families

should not reapply.

Information on all Century Farms will be available at the Minnesota Farm Bureau exhibit during the 2012 Minnesota State Fair, which runs Aug. 23 to Labor Day, Sept. 3. A Century Farm database is also available at fbmn.org.

The Minnesota State Fair is one of the largest and best-attended expositions in the world, attracting nearly 1.8 million visitors annually. Visit mnstatefair. org for more information.

At 2 :49 p.m., Feb. 18, the Carver County Sheriff’s Office responded to an emergency landing of an airplane near 13635 County Road 31 in Young America Township, near Hamburg.

The pilot, the sole occupant of the airplane, was a 42-yearold Minneapolis woman who made an emergency landing in a plowed field after losing power to the aircraft’s instrument panel, according to a press release from the Sheriff’s Office. The Sheriff’s Office and Hamburg Fire Department responded to the landing.

The aircraft landed without damage to the plane or injuries to the pilot. An FAA representative inspected the aircraft and it was released back to the owner, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Roads in Minnesota’s 13 counties with the highest combined totals of alcohol-related traffic deaths and serious injuries will be hot-spots for increased DWI enforcement through September, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety.

The following 13 counties accounted for nearly half of t he st ate’s a lcohol-rel ate d deaths (202) and half of the state’s serious injuries (462) du r i n g 2 0 0 8 – 2 010 : 1. Hennepin; 2. Ramsey; 3. Anoka; 4 . St . L ou i s ; 5 . Da kot a ; 6 .

Carver.

New to the “13 counties” list is Sherburne County; taken off

the list from 2011 was Itasca County.

Carver County had nine alcohol-related deaths between 2008 and 2010, 15 alcohol-related injuries and 943 DWI arrests.

Heightened enforcement in the 13 counties began in October 2011, as part of the 12-month federally funded enforcement program.

Alcohol-related fatalities, injuries and DWIs have dropped in recent years — there were 131 alcohol-related deaths in 2 010, the lowest on record.

Officials say enforcement and education is contributing to this trend. Still, each year alcohol-related crashes account for one-third of the state’s total road deaths.

The announcement of the 13 targeted DWI counties follows a statewide December enhanced DWI enforcement effort that resulted in the arrest of 2,573 motorists.

Settling up on a flood of bills City of Carver reimbursed for building levee

BY NICK MASON nicholascmason@comcast.net

The city of Carver is slated to be reimbursed more than 90 percent of what it spent last year to protect residents and businesses amid official predictions of potential record flooding.

T he cit y gover n ment sp ent $ 360,374.84, most of it to raise the f lood-control earthen levee about 2-1/2 feet in the spring of 2011 and to remove the entire raised section after the flooding threat ended.

Grim warnings from the National Weather Service wound up being exaggerated. Weather conditions improved as winter turned into spring and Minnesota River flooding was relatively modest. Carver’s newly elevated levee, stretching more than 5,000 feet in length, never was challenged.

Carver has already received two reimbursement payments totaling $243,542.21 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

That represents the full federal share of 75 percent of eligible expenses.

Still to come are two payments expected to total $81,180.72 from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, which this month received the city’s fi nal paperwork about flood-control costs. Those two payments would represent the full state share of 25 percent of eligible expenses. The fi rst of two reimbursements should arrive in late February or March.

“We now have their close-out documents and we are processing them as efficiently and timely as we can,” Julie Anderson, spokeswoman for the state agency, said Feb. 7. “We anticipate putting in the request for payment this week.”

No reimbursements will be made for $ 35,651.91 of city expenses, according to Cathy Elke, the city’s bookkeeper/accounting clerk.

“The city did eat some of the costs,” Elke told the Chaska Herald. “We incurred some costs we could not submit. A fair amount was labor.

There were some bills, such as repairs to flood pumps, that they said would have had to be done anyway.”

Mayor Greg Osterdyk and other city council members wanted to keep most of the raised levee intact after the flooding threat expired. But FEMA insisted that its rules required the entire raised section be removed or the city would be disqualified from receiving federal reimbursements.

“The process makes no sense,” Osterdyk said during a council meeting last June. “We’re looking at potentially saving FEMA some of those dollars by keeping protections of the levee up so that they won’t have to remove them and pay the additional expense. And they wouldn’t have to pay to rebuild it whenever the next flood event is.”

The council and City Administrator Brent Mareck agreed the city could not afford to pay the entire cost of raising the levee, so the council reluctantly decided last August to remove the 2-1/2-foot addition that they had tried to keep intact.

“Once we determined what our options were, it wasn’t feasible for the city to spend the entire amount to leave it up,” Osterdyk said during a Feb. 8 interview. “I’m glad we were able to work with the state and federal authorities on what we had to do to protect the town and, given the same circumstances, I would do exactly the same thing again.”

That does not appear to be necessary this year. Carver officials are focusing on other topics instead of talking about flood preparations. The current risk of Minnesota River flooding this spring is deemed minimal by the National Weather Service because of below-average rainfall last fall followed by little snow during the winter.

“At this point, there have been no discussions [about potential flooding this spring],” Osterdyk said. “And from what I’ve read, it’s certainly not a threat this spring.”

CONGRESSIONAL SUPPORT Last year, FEMA’s insistence that Carver remove the raised section of levee or lose federal aid attracted attention from U.S. Rep. John Kline (R-Lakeville), whose congressional district includes Carver.

Kline asked FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate last July to help Carver keep the elevated levee and “break through the federal bureaucracy to fi nd permanent relief from the devastating effects of annual floods.”

Fugate and FEMA refused to budge.

Kline went further in October by introducing legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives that would permit communities to keep flood-protection measures in place without being penalized by loss of federal disaster aid.

“FEM A’s inf lexible guidelines create bureaucratic boondoggles for communities in Minnesota and na-

“My legislation provides constituents the flexibility to work with FEMA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to protect their communities from future flooding while saving taxpayer dollars.”

Kline’s bill is being reviewed this year by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and its Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management, according to Troy Young, Kline’s communications director.

Kline has not yet lined up a sponsor to carry the companion legislation in the U.S. Senate. The legislation must be approved in both the House of Representatives and Senate to become law.

“The congressman will continue to work with his colleagues in the U.S. Senate to explore a companion bill,” Young wrote in an e-mail Feb. 10.

“He hopes the Senate will join him in helping our local communities break through the federal bureaucracy to fi nd permanent relief from the devastating effects of annual floods.”

LEVEE COSTS Carver paid private companies nearly five times as much for designing and constructing the raised section of levee compared to how much the city spent removing it later, according to city records shown on a chart accompanying this story.

Contractors and the city’s engineering fi rm, then named Bonestroo Inc. and now named Stantec Inc., were paid a total of $230,926.07 for elevating the levee. The city later paid $47,343.26 to remove the raised section.

“There was more equipment and machine time to place the clay material than to remove it,” Carver Public Works Director Paul Schultz said during an interview Feb. 8. “We had so much more equipment and man time to prepare the site. Then we had to place the material and then do the compaction on top of it.

“Removing it was so much more simple,” Schultz said. “For removal, it was one backhoe, one skid loader and some trucks.”

Most earthen clay used to elevate the levee came from the site of Levi

But that site did not provide enough clay for the levee project, so more was hauled from a Wm. Mueller & Sons Inc. gravel pit, Schultz explained.

When the raised section of levee was removed, all the earthen clay was taken to Mueller’s pit.

“We wish we could have stockpiled it, but the city doesn’t have any place to store it,” Schultz said. “We talked

Newhouse said. “I don’t want to walk away from an opportunity… If we don’t look further, we are doing a disservice.”

“If you three are not interested, we drop it and it’s dead and gone,” Monroe said to Henry, Osterdyk and Webb.

Carver would have been the fi rst city in Carver County to open a municipal liquor store.

State Auditor Rebecca Otto’s annual report last March identified Eden Prairie in Hennepin County as the closest city to Carver in the liquor sales business. Savage is the only city listed in Scott County.

If the proposal advanced, the city likely could not have opened a liquor store until at least 2013, because state law requires a city to give public notice one year before opening a store. Waiving that one-year notice would require approval by the Minnesota Legislature.

Councilors started learning about prospects of selling alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption after Mareck in October 2011 identified that as one way the city could raise money. They previously asked him how the city might produce income that could lead to a reduction of city property taxes.

The fi rst step was a council work session Jan. 17 featuring presentations by City Attorney Larry Harris; Paul Kaspszak, executive director of the Minnesota Municipal Beverage Association; and three officials of municipal liquor stores in other cities, Brenda Visnovec of Lakeville, Nancy Drumsta of Delano and Lara Smetana of Pine City.

Paul Bilotta of Stantec Consulting Services Inc. of St. Paul told councilors during the January session that the next step should be a market study to research the consumer demand for a municipal liquor store in Carver.

Carver councilors learned that the city’s only privatelyowned liquor store, Carver Liquor at 309 Broadway, must close and the city’s three bars

must halt sales for of f-site consumption once the city government opens a municipal liquor store.

PUBLIC OPPOSITION Lisa Schoknecht, owner of Lisa’s Place bar, 205 Broadway, told councilors during the Feb. 6 council meeting that she opposed the city opening a liquor store because her sales for off-site consumption are an important part of her business.

“It’s income for me and a convenience for my customers,” Schoknecht said.

The two other public speakers that night, former Carver Mayor Jim Weygand and Tim Craig, vice president of Carver Lions Club, also opposed the city opening a municipal liquor store.

“You shouldn’t do this,” Weygand said. “This is the private sector. Government should not be in this field … This is socialism.”

Craig joked that he was in rare agreement with Weygand about a political issue.

“There are things way more important than running a liquor store,” Craig said.

Tu Pham, co-owner of Carver Liquor with his wife, Vicky Tran, declined an invitation from Osterdyk to speak to councilors that night.

Pham and Tran later told the Chaska Herald that they had no preference of either having the city buy their business at a negotiated price or stay in business with plans of moving their store to a future commercial development along the Highway 212 corridor.

“It’s good both ways,” Pham said. “If the city would have done it and paid me a good price, I’m happy, of course. If we go next to Fleet Farm and it’s busy with traffic, any liquor store owner would want that opportunity.

“We bought the liquor store five years ago because we knew Fleet Farm was coming,” Pham said. “The potential up there is phenomenal. Fleet Farm opens in July. After that, I’m sure a strip mall will go in. I will lease a space up there whenever a space is available.”

Pham declined to say exactly how much profit his small liquor store in downtown Carver makes, but he said it is less than $100,000 per year.

Webb was the fi rst councilor to express his views after hearing the three speakers during the Feb. 6 council meeting.

“For me, the process has kind of come to an end,” Webb began. “I don’t want to get into a municipal liquor store. We’re taking money away from a private venture.”

Osterdyk initially said he would be interested in opening a municipal liquor store only if it could produce more than $100,000 annual net profit.

But his position changed after Schok necht, Weyga nd a nd Craig spoke.

“I think it would be tougher for us to run a private business than it is for a private business to run a private business,” Osterdyk said. “I think we have bigger things to worry about, and I will say [the idea] is dead.”

Osterdyk was injured seriously while sitting in a golf cart that was struck by a car at the conclusion of Carver’s Steamboat Days celebration in September 2010. He cited his injuries and the resulting court case in explaining his concern about the city being responsible and held liable if alcoholic beverages at a municipal liquor store were sold to an impaired driver.

“The more consideration I gave it and the more I talked to and heard from the residents and stakeholders within Carver, I made the decision we have other priorities we need to be working out,” Osterdyk told the Chaska Herald on Feb. 8, two days after the council made its decision.

“I think it was valuable to go through the process,” he said.

“But at the end of the day, it was determined it wasn’t something we want to focus our time and money on. We need to focus on bringing additional business to Carver and building up the commercial district.”

Catch This Show Before It Closes!

ACROSS MINNESOTA Mu nicipa l liquor stores

started in Minnesota after prohibition ended in the 1930s as a way for cities to control distribution of alcoholic beverages in their communities, Kaspszak of the Minnesota Municipal Beverage Association said. Many cities later entered the business to produce non-tax income, he said.

“No politician wants to raise taxes, so they were looking to municipal liquor to generate revenue,” Kaspszak said during a Feb. 7 interview.

There are about 240 municipal liquor stores in about 210 cities across Minnesota, according to Kaspszak. Some cities have multiple stores.

“The number of cities is decreasing, but the trend in our business is remodeling and expansion,” he said. “Wayzata just built their new facility.

Lakeville and Apple Valley are relatively new.”

Total annual sales of municipal liquor stores across Minnesota is about $300 million and total annual profits are about $20 million, Kaspszak advised Carver councilors last month.

Individual store sales range from about $100,000 to more than $14 million per year. A profitable store makes up to $1.1 million per year.

He cited profits from municipal liquor stores being used by cities in their general fund of operations or for special projects such as recreation programs, transportation of elderly persons and purchase of public safety equipment.

“You are not the fi rst city to be looking into this,” Kaspszak told Carver councilors in January. “With Local Government Aid cuts [by the Minnesota Legislature], cities are looking, people are looking for that additional revenue stream.”

But some cities, including Shorewood in Hennepin County, have decided to close or sell their municipal liquor stores for philosophical or fi nancial reasons. Shorewood sold its two stores in 2007.

“It was not making enough money and they had a conservative council wave come in and decided this wasn’t the right place to be in business,” Kasp-

Come Later Be Casual Laugh Like Crazy!

szak told the Chaska Herald about Shorewood.

“People get out for one of three reasons,” he continued.

“One is the town is evaporating and does not have the population to support it. Another is the philosophical argument. The biggest reason is poor management and the city’s unwillingness to do anything about it.”

LEGAL ISSUES During the January work session, Harris reviewed his six-page memo summarizing legal requirements and his analysis of fi nancial responsibility, insurance, liability and operational issues.

Cities with a population of 10,000 or less may establish, own and operate a municipal liquor store, Harris wrote.

Once established, the store may remain open after the population reaches 10,000, he wrote.

Carver’s population was 3,724 in the 2010 federal census.

Much of Harris’ analysis warned councilors of pitfalls the city could face, even compared to private businesses operating liquor stores. One area he cited was risk of expensive liability lawsuits.

“Frequently, on large dram shop liability claims, the injured parties would view a private licensee as a shell and would realize that their practical recovery is limited by the insurance proceeds available,” Harris wrote. “That protection does not apply to a city, which would likely be viewed as a ‘deep pocket’ from which a recovery could be made if damages could be proven in excess of the dram shop liability insurance limits carried by the city.”

Speaking to councilors, Harris half-jokingly put it this way: “You want – the legal term for it is – a boat load of insurance.”

Harris concluded his memo by stating “if the city is inclined to move forward, the next likely steps would be commissioning a feasibility study which could address, in detail, the economic issues of such an operation.”

STUDY PROPOSALS Mareck obtained two proposa ls for a market study.

One was the maximum $7,800 proposal from McComb Group.

The other was a $ 2,50 0 fee plus expenses estimated to not exceed $ 200 from Bilotta of Stantec.

Mareck wanted councilors to choose the expensive one.

“Staff is recommending the City Council accept the proposal from the McComb Group; based on their overall work plan, expertise with this type of analysis, extensive experience and familiarity with our trade area,” Mareck wrote in a background memo to councilors.

Some councilors complained about McComb’s price.

“I wish it wasn’t $7,800. That was kind of a sticker shock,” Henry said.

Mareck defended his choice.

“This is a big decision,” Mareck told councilors. “Stantec data would be reliable, but I’m not sure it will be as comprehensive. [McComb Group] is sort of the gold standard in doing these types of studies.”

Osterdyk agreed.

“If we are interested in doing it, it’s a wise investment to get the right numbers,” Osterdyk said of hiring McComb Group.

“I don’t quite feel comfortable with the Stantec side.”

Minutes later came the 3-2 formal vote not to hire McComb Group. Minutes after that came the decision by a 3-2 consensus without a formal vote to drop the whole idea of having a municipal liquor store.

After the meeting, Osterdyk said the next step will be for councilors to look at other ways of raising money for the city.

S ome opt ion s l i s t e d by Mareck last October were imposing a city lodging tax, a city gambling tax or city franchise fees on electric, natural gas and cable television utilities. His list also included selling advertising for the city’s newsletter, vehicles and equipment and increasing rentals of space on city water towers for placement of communications antennas.

“I want to go back to that list and see if there is anything else to look into,” Osterdyk said.

“I’m always looking for ways to lower the tax burden to our residents.”

NEWS BRIEF

Local columnist translates Rumi

God and love of friendship in numerous poems. Although Rumi’s poems were originally written in Farsi and are centuries old, they have become very popular in the Western world.

One of Rumi’s lifelong friends was Shams of Tabriz. His feelings of friendship and the loss he felt when Shams disappeared can be seen in many of his poems. It’s Rumi’s great understanding of friendship and love that makes Rumi’s poems as

Dr. Leo Parvis, a cultural diversity/global studies professor at Dunwoody Technical College and “Eye on Diversity” columnist for the Chaska Herald, has recently released a book of translated poems by Rumi, a famous poet from Iran.

Rumi, a Persian poet from the 13th century, put his devotion to

popular as they are today.

Many find Rumi to be a friend, lover, and spiritual guide, which is why Parvis thought it was worth his time to translate some of the lesser known Farsi poems so Rumi’s many fans can enjoy them, according to a press release.

Parvis’ book features the poems in their original Farsi text, alongside the English translations. The poems were translated with Leo’s knowledge and

the expertise of his editor, poet Ann Iverson, who also painted the book’s cover art.

Parvis’ translation of Rumi’s poems, “Sweet Messages to Sing” is available at www. lulu.com/diversitypro.

Along with the book, Parvis and his wife Julie Parvis created a “Rumi Lovers” website, with information about Rumi and his poetry at www.squidoo.com/rumilovers. They also created a “Rumi Lovers”

logo and product line at www. cafepress.com/rumilovers. A free membership site will be available soon for Rumi fans.

Leo and Julie Parvis also run diversitypromotions.com and Embrace Publications, creators of the Embrace Diversity logo and product line. They are diversity trainers, authors and publishers of diversity books and materials; and the establishers of National Diversity Day.

I’m a pretty, tri-color medium haired gal who is fi ne with dogs, most cats and children.

Oddly, after three years, the past owner says she is allergic to me and gives me to CSHS. I’m friendly, affectionate and would like for you to sit for hours and brush me. I just love it. I’ll jump into your lap when you sit. I’ll greet you at the door, ankle rub, and follow you around. I’d make a great companion cat, so please give me a call.

This abandoned pet is being housed by the Carver-Scott Humane Society and is available for adoption. All pets have been vet checked, wormed, had shots updated, have a micro ID implanted, checked for friendly dispositions and neutered/ spayed, if possible.

WELCOME BACK

Former pastor returns to a new church, and a new role

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

As soon as the Rev. Josh Nelson came aboard as the new senior pastor at Family of Christ Lutheran Church in Chanhassen, he was cast in the annual church musical, too.

“They gave me a part,” Nelson said, “I play a member of the President’ Cabinet. It’s a small walk on role. I’ve got eight lines I have to memorize.”

He’s a little anxious about the memorizing lines part. It’s not like giving a sermon. What he’s really looking forward to is the singing.

“I get to sing in the chorus of ‘Tomorrow,’” Nelson said.

“Anyone with any acting chops loves to sing ‘Tomorrow.’”

Nelson loves music. He loves to sing, to play, and now, to do musical theater. He demonstrates a new CD player he’s brought to his new office in the church.

“Music is one of my true loves,” Nelson said. “When I started college, I was going to pursue a music degree. I thought I’d be a choral director.

But I also had broader interests

in writing and history that eventually pointed me to life in the ministry. But there are a lot of ways to celebrate music and faith.”

Nelson marvels at how much the Family of Christ church has grown since 2000 when he left to start Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church in Buffalo. Over the years, he kept in touch with Pastor Nate Castens. When Castens announced his retirement last year, the church sent a call to Nelson.

He was happy to return.

“With each call, I like to take on a new challenge,” Nelson said. “It was an opportunity to be a pastor in a new way.”

In addition to a new church building, he guesstimates the congregation has nearly doubled from 850 in 2000 when he left. Growth is also reflected in a preschool, two worship teams, two teen music groups, an adult choir, and annual musical production.

MISSIONS AND MUSIC “There’s about 100 participants from the congregation working on the show,” Nelson said. “From acting to back-

stage.” A bulky set piece for the show is in the lobby, under construction. The Manhattan “skyline” on the far wall behind the podium is already in place for the show. It gives the worship area a tony, uptown look.

“The musical is a fundraiser for our mission trips,” Nelson said. But he explains that in addition to raising funds, the musical and all the weeks of work that goes into it, gives church members more opportunities to share their gifts with others.

“Things like the musical enable people to get involved in their faith life beyond just being a greeter or usher,” Nelson said. “You can work the sound board, you can make sets, costumes as a way of praising God with your gifts. And it’s fun.”

Nelson’s choice of music reflects his outlook on ministering. He lists four of his favorite worship songs: “Days of Elijah,” “Beautiful Savior,” “Lord I Lift Your Name on High,” and “Lift High the Cross.” It’s a

Nelson served as associate pastor with senior pastor Nate Castens from 1995 to 2000. musical sampling that includes the traditional and the contemporary. And he enjoys mixing cultures, too.

“The progressive churches are incor porating more world music,” Nelson said, “from Spanish to Oromo (an ethnic group in Africa). We

sang a Cherokee song where the alleluia part mimics the highs and lows in native singing and beats. There’s a great openness to music, which also comes from mission trips and bumping into other cultures that take us beyond our front yards.”

of the church congregation, Annie is Family of Christ’s 5th annual musical production.

Public performances will be at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 2; 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 3; and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 4, at the church located at 2020 Coulter Blvd, Chanhassen.

The production costs were underwritten by an anonymous donor, so all ticket proceeds will go to support the church’s four annual summer mission trips. These trips provide local, regional, national, and international service opportunities for the church’s youth and adult members.

Along with Director Carlye Peterson, nearly 100 cast members and many behindthe-scenes helpers are part of the production team. Several children’s main characters were double-cast. Annie will be played by Emma Nelson and McKenzie Woods. The production also features Mark Salo as Daddy Warbucks, Laura Oman as Grace Farrell, Sam Ische as Miss Hannigan, Pat Berry as Rooster Hannigan, and Marilyn Syverson as Lily St. Regis.

Tickets for the play are $10 per person in advance or $12 at the door. Advance tickets may be obtained on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings at the church narthex ticket table, week days at the church office, or by e-mailing tickets@familyofchristonline.com (please indicate the number of tickets you want and for which performance; you will then receive payment and pickup instructions). A raffle of themed gift baskets will also take place at each production.

Wit h c u r r ent e c onom ic struggles that are similar to those portrayed in the production, audience members are asked to bring a canned good to donate to Bountiful Basket, Carver County’s local food shelf.

FAITH BRIEFS

Westbrook helping alleviate hunger We s t b r o o k C o m mu n it y Church of Chaska is joining with 10 other churches in Minnesota on The Hunger Initiative. The goal of this initiative is to pack 1 million meals in one day to help alleviate hunger in the Horn of Africa.

Antonio Guterres, the head of the United Nations Relief Agency, has said that the famine occurring in this region is the worst humanitarian disaster in the world. Parts of Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and Uganda have been experiencing the worst drought in 60 years.

The World Food Program estimates that 10 million people in this region are in need of food.

The drought and other factors have displaced many thousands of people in this area.

Many refugees make the trek to Dadaab, Kenya, where a large refugee camp is established to care for those who make it. Every week about 2,000 new refugees (mostly women, children and babies) trek from Somalia to Dadaab. Many of the women

are robbed, raped, beaten or lose children to malnutrition and the food-related disease, dysentery along the way. They get to the camp, are registered, given one day’s supply of food and sent to wait outside the camp for 10-14 days.

Eleven churches including Westbrook, working together with partner organizations Feed My Starving Children, Impact Lives and Kids Against Hunger, are determined to do something to address this huge problem by providing 1 million meals for those who are suffering and starving in the Horn of Africa.

On Feb. 25, Westbrook will be meeting at Clover Ridge Elementary School to pack meals that will be sent to the Dadaab refugee camp.

“Our goal in participating in the Hunger Initiative is to make a significant impact on this global crisis,” said Pastor Kevin Sharpe. “This is a wonderful opportunity for the Chaska community to come together and help those who cannot help themselves.”

t’s hard to decide whether folks who celebrate a leap-year birthday or leap-year wedding anniversary are lucky or unlucky.

On the one hand, they are among only a handful of people whose original special event happened on an ever-so-rare, leapyear day – that extra day inserted at the end of February every fourth year.

On the other hand, the fact that there’s a big gap between the calendar’s leap-year days is bound to limit or even eliminate a few celebrations.

Another leap-year day is coming up – it’s Feb. 29, 2012 – and we asked area readers who celebrate a leap-year birthday or wedding anniversary to tell us about their unique place in the world of celebrations. Here are a couple of responses we received.

My husband Vern and I became proud parents of our son, John, on Feb. 29 at 2:29 p.m. in 1956. He arrived two months early but all turned out just fi ne.

We always celebrated about March 1 but in leap years, it was really special. He made the Valley News, with a picture of him, two cousins and a friend in 1968, I believe. He gets lots of cards every year because people do remember that he really doesn’t have a real day.

His birth was different in that I got polio about the same time I found out I was pregnant with him. So I was in the Sister Kenny Institute (was there at the time for 4½ months) when it became obvious that I needed to get to another hospital and the ambulance took me

to St. Barnabas where he was born. He weighed a little over 3 pounds. He stayed in an incubator and was released about April 1 after he went to 5½ pounds. I got out of the Kenny the last week of May. The 29th of February also is the birthday of one of my nephews and a cousin. This will be John’s “14th” birthday.

Forever young.

My teacher’s only 9 years old A Leap Year birthday can be very confusing, especially when you are trying to explain your age to a classroom of young children. I have been an elementary school teacher for the past 12 years. I have taught both fi rst and third grade. It has been very fun to mess with the minds of my students when it comes to this special day for me. When I tell them that I’m only 9, 10 or in this case turning 11 years old, their brains just don’t seem to quite comprehend how that works. They will ask me questions in a very sincere manner like, “How can you be a teacher?” “How can you have a family?” “How can you drive?” or “Why are you so tall?” The questions will go on and on. They really get a kick out of thinking that their teacher is almost the same age as they are. So when my students catch me doing something silly and say that I’m acting like a kid, I can honestly tell them that’s because I am!

DANCE STATE MEET

Double state champions Chaska captures first place in both jazz/funk and high kick at the State Dance Meet

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Q

ue en’s hit song “ We A r e T he Champions” was released 35 years ago, long before any of the Chaska dancers were introduced to the world.

The song, though, was the perfect anthem both Friday and Saturday as the Hawks Dance Team captured first place in both the Class AA High Kick and Jazz/Funk competitions at the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis.

Chaska is the first double state champions in any class since St. Cloud Cathedral in 2010. It was the first state title in jazz/funk for the Hawks Dance Team. Coming into the season, Chaska had one state championship in high kick in 1999.

“This team was so fabulous to work with. I’m just so proud of them,” Chaska Head Coach Kris Rydland said the day after the fi nal dance and hours after a welcome home celebration, which included rides around town on four of the Chaska Fire Department‘s trucks.

The lyrics to the 1977 hit song tell the story of the 20112012 Chaska squad perfectly.

After paying their dues time after time – finishing in the top-six a combined five times in the past four years, including a runner-up high kick fi nish in 2008 – Chaska was able to come through this season to become champions, my friends.

FIRST STATE TITLE Entering the weekend, Chaska had never captured a jazz/ funk state title, but the Hawks showed in both dances they were the team to beat.

Scoring first-place ranks from all eight judges in the preliminaries with average score of 89.4, Rydland said the team knew it could be even better.

“We did not have the per-

formance we’d like to in the prelims. We had a slip on a turn that I did not see, but the two other coaches did. It was something that was obviously hard to see. We had a very experienced dancer who was able to stay composed and pull it together. She came out in the finals knowing she could do better and she was just wonderful,” the coach said.

Rydland and the coaching staff challenged the jazz/funk team to fi nd more “power” in the final performance. To draw from the theme of the dance – lost and found.

“We talked a lot about who in the dance you could call out to so that the two of you together could have a powerful performance. Find that support in one another. They definitely found it.

When they exited the floor there were many, many tears of joy and excitement,” Rydland said.

Chaska’s average judge score jumped up to a season-best 91.5 with a perfect ranking score of five once the two low and one high judges’ scores were thrown out.

“They were just gorgeous score sheets. We had a high of 94 from one judge. We had 17 scores of 10,” the coach said. “I had a comment from a worker at the Target Center who said, ‘the music is usually what pulls me into the dance. With yours, it was the dance that pulled me into the dance.’ That’s what we were working toward. We wanted to show the journey of being lost and found.”

Section 1AA runner-up and defending state champion Benilde-St. Margaret was second behind Chaska again with a ranking of 11 followed by Totino-Grace with 13. St. Cloud Cathedral, Sartell-St. Stephen and Marshall rounded out the top-six fi nalists.

Holy Family Catholic also competed i n t he Class A A event, placing ninth overall.

Seniors Casey Stone, Alyson Pulvermacher, Kaitlyn Givens, Maddy Carriveau, Jackie Schneider and Kara Notvedt were among the dancers beyond elated to hear “Step Forward Chaska” when announced as Class AA high kick champions Saturday at the Target Center.

Chaska won gold in jazz/funk to begin the weekend, receiving first-place ranks from all eight judges. and Alyson Pulvermacher were named to the 2012 Class AA Jazz/Funk All-Tournament Team.

ONE MORE SOLID GOLD The dance that had everyone buzzing throughout the

two-day state meet was Chaska’s high kick performance of “Found In Egypt.”

It was described as a dance “that will surely make (it) a true classic for years to come,”

by Coach Erin Hawkinson of the Minnesota High School

Dance Team Online blog.

Chaska had an average score of 91 in the preliminary round with a judge rank of five.

“We talked to the girls and asked them if that was your last performance, is that the one we want to leave on the state floor.

Much like the jazz dance, they all said we can do better. We went out in the fi nals and we had a mindset that we were going to leave it all out there.

That every count was going to be better,” Rydland said.

The team responded, scoring a season-high 94.125 average on the eight judges’ sheets, finishing with a ranking of six to claim the second school title in high kick. One judge gave Ch a sk a score of 9 7 – only three points away from perfection.

“Of the possible 80 spots (10 categories with eight judges), we had 39 scores of 10. So, about 50 percent of our scores

were perfect. We scored high on creativity and routine effectiveness, but I was excited to see our numbers go up on difficult of kick and height of kick,” the coach said.

“It was exactly the performance we wanted to leave out there on the f loor,” Rydland added.

A strong Sartell-St. Stephen squad, which was the defending state champion, was second with a ranking of eight points.

St. Cloud Cathedral moved up two spots from the preliminary round to earn a third-place fi nish. Totino-Grace, Faribault and Austin rounded out the top-six fi nalists.

Seniors Casey Stone and Kara Notvedt were selected to the 2012 Class AA High Kick All-Tournament Team.

After taking their bows and curtain calls, Chaska can now say they are the double state champions – of Minnesota.

SECTION 2AA GIRLS HOCKEY

Hornets make it three in a row in Section 2AA Edina shutout the Storm Hawks for the second time this season

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Chaska/Chanhassen made the right adjustments to start the second period after a slow start saw No. 5 Edina with a 1-0 lead.

Despite the improved puck possession, the Storm Hawks couldn’t solve Senior Goalie of the Year fi nalist Maddie Dahl, including a breakaway more than two minutes into the second stanza.

With Dahl stellar in net, the Edina offense just kept pulling away, scoring three times in the fi nal 9:11 of the second period in a 4-0 win over the Storm Hawks in the Section 2AA Championship Friday at Bloomington Ice Garden.

The Hornets, the three-time Section 2AA champions (four overall), also defeated Chaska/ Chanhassen 5-0 in the 2010 final.

The Storm Hawks fi nished the season with a 20-7-1 record.

“We were really pleased and proud of the team. They never gave up and played three full periods. We just ran into a team that is very skilled and is a hard-working hockey team. I compare them to a college team.

They come at you with three solid lines,” C/C Head Coach Tracy Cassano said. “They might not have the stars they’ve had in the

past, but every one of them has great speed and strength. Having that experience of playing at state so many times is very valuable in knowing how to win in that situation.”

The game plan was simple for the Storm Hawks – take away the strength of the Hornets and that is the shot from the point. And at times the plan was executed well.

But when a team tries to take away one part of the game, usually another is left exposed.

And that was in front of C/C’s net.

Of the four goals scored, two came on rebounds, while a t hi rd was a n u n ma n ned defender sliding down for an open attempt.

“We played them earlier in the year and we scouted them and their defensemen are very good at getting the puck on net.

We wanted to adjust their game plan and take them out of their comfort zone. I thought we did a good job of that,” Cassano said.

“We had confidence that our defensemen and centers could play 3-on-3 down low. Sometimes you just have to tip your hat to a team. They know where they should be and they know how to bury the puck when they have an opportunity.”

Down 1-0 in the second period, C/C had its best opportunity of the game as Kaitlin Storo stole the puck in the neutral zone and streaked down the ice on Dahl. Instead of staying on her forehand like she did in the game-winner Feb. 14 over Eden Prairie, the Storm Hawk junior went to her backhand

and was denied.

C/C kept the pressure on the Edina net, but the Hornets weathered the storm and eventually took a two-goal advantage as Taylor Williamson skated around two defenders and fed defender Megan Armstrong, who was all alone in front of the net for the 2-0 lead, on the power play.

Five minutes later, it was Armstrong again, this time from much farther away. With the rest of her team heading off for a line change, the senior ripped a shot from outside the blue line that def lected off a Storm Hawks defender, off the right pipe and into the net.

Riley Anderson added a rebound goal with 1:32 remaining in the second period for the 4-0 Edina lead.

C/C’s best chance in the third period came on a short 5-on-3 power play, but every shot Dahl faced, the junior captain turned away.

Edina was given the No. 3 seed in the Class AA State Tournament, which begins today at the Xcel Energy Center.

Minnetonka, Roseville and Lakeville North rounded out the four-seeded teams.

C/C goaltender Carly Van Orden came up big in the fi rst stanza, stopping 13 shots. She stopped 30 of 34 shots in the game. Edina, though, did manage a goal early in the contest with Sarah Nielsen banging in a rebound shot at the 2:23 mark.

C/C made adjustments out of the fi rst intermission to open up the offense, fi nishing with 12 shots in the second stanza.

Dahl recorded 26 saves in the shutout.

Edina also beat the Storm Hawks 2-0 earlier this season in a non-conference game in December.

“It was a fantastic year. For

me taking on a new group, a new community and a new school, I couldn’t have asked for anything else,” said Cassano, who previously coached at Rosemount. “We had great chemistry – we were like a family. We didn’t have any drama or fighting or anything like that and that allowed us to focus on the hockey part of things. It was fun to be at the

rink with the girls every day.”

“I’m really looking forward to what we can do next year. We lose six seniors – the defensive core and Megan Williams and Casey Lindquist – that will be tough to replace. We talked all year about learning from our experiences whether we won or lost. Hopefully next time if we get this shot again we’ll come out on top,” the coach added.

GIRLS BASKETBALL

HAWKS ROUNDUP

Peaking at the right time Title hopes fade at Chanhassen

Chaska defeated three of the top teams in Missota

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

First it was New Prague. Then Red Wing. Now Chanhassen.

Ellie Thompson scored 16 of her game-high 21 points in the second half as Chaska stretched its season-high win streak to three games in a 58-47 win at Chanhassen Friday.

All three wins came against teams that started the game ahead of them in the conference standings.

“It’s been fun to see them turn the corner. We were able to compete with all of the teams the fi rst time through the conference, but we weren’t able to fi nish off some teams. It was a long road and it took a lot of patience, but it’s fi nally paying off,” Chaska Head Coach Tara Seifert said.

The victory over Chanhassen forced the Storm to wait at least one game to clinch the Missota Conference title outright. Chanhassen, which saw its unbeaten streak of 11 games in the conference end, already has a share of the league title wrapped up for the second straight season.

Like the first contest, the taller Hawks went to work in the paint. The trio of Thompson, Kendall Babb and Page Stanberry combined to score 33 points.

Along with Thompson’s 21, Baab had eight, while Page Stanberry had four points, which included a putback during an 11-0 run that saw Chaska pull away in the fi rst half.

“We have good depth and we have good size. Our defensive intensity has picked up. I just think we’ve improved with better balance scoring inside and out. Our guards’ confidence has improved. Early on we were turning over the ball a lot when teams pressured us. We’re doing a lot better job taking care of the basketball,” Seifert said.

Tied at 12, a free throw from Hannah Rohe started a stretch that saw the Storm not score a point for five straight minutes.

A Baab fast-break layup ended the run at 23-12.

Tori Shear ended the drought with a driving layup

The second half, though was a whole lot of Thompson.

Held to five points early in the fi rst half, the sophomore post went to work against the shorter Storm defenders, scoring 16 of the team’s 32 points during the fi nal 18 minutes.

Lauren Sundby also had eight points for the game, while Sierra Leggett and Nicole Parsons had six points apiece.

Becca Smith and Lauren Shifflett each had nine points

for the Storm.

T ie d at 3 9 at h a l f t i me, Chaska ended the game on a 40-23 run to win its fourth straight conference game in a 79-62 road win at Farmington Tuesday. Thompson netted a season-high with 26 points.

Matching up with the Tigers’ Taylor Meyer, a University of Minnesota-Duluth recruit, Thompson dominated in the paint. Meyer was held to seven points in the contest.

Baab also had 14 points for the Hawks, while Sundby added a dozen.

The regular season finale is

Friday at home against Holy Angels. The Hawks will likely begin the Section 6AAA playoffs on the road at Waconia Feb. 28. Check out Scoreboard.

MN later today for complete brackets.

“I like where we’re at. I think we’ve opened some eyes the past couple of weeks and with our strength of schedule hopefully teams seed us higher then what our total wins say,” Seifert said. “If we keep playing like we can to our potential and put a good plan together, we can be successful in the playoffs.”

Cole Otto is known more for his paint scoring, but on Friday with Chanhassen trailing at home to rival Chaska, the Storm senior hit a huge 3-pointer and scored seven points in a key run in a 60-52 win Friday.

The victory all but assured the Storm of a Missota Conference title. Chaska had gotten back in the mix after beating New Prague and Red Wing, and seeing the Storm fall to Holy Angels.

Chanhassen, which had a two-game lead entering play this week, clinched its first title in program history with a win over New Prague Tuesday.

Chaska led for the majority of the contest, jumping out to a 17-9 lead. A 3-pointer from Otto with three minutes remaining in the fi rst half gave Chanhassen its fi rst least at 27-26.

The Hawks went back ahead 32-29 at halftime.

Chaska last led at 44-41 before Otto connected on a second outside shot to tie the game. The Storm took a 50-46 lead before running out the clock the fi nal two minutes.

“We led all the way from the opening tip-off to there was six minutes to go. We played really well, but just made a couple of turnovers in critical situations down the stretch. But you got to give (Chanhassen) credit, they made some key plays. Cole Otto hit a couple of big shots,” Chaska Head Coach Dana Kallman said.

Otto had a game-high 16 points, while Jack Kozlowski added 10 for the Storm. Joey Stark had nine, while Kevin Jensen and Steven Gitzen each had eight.

Eric West paced the Hawks with 16 points. Kolby Seiffert had 11, while Matthew Knowles chipped in nine points.

While Kallman said a win over Chanhassen would have looked good on Chaska’s resume, the final three games are even more important, especially Friday at section foe Holy Angels.

“We’ve talked to the team that part of the reason you play the regular season is to get a home playoff game. Weird

things can happen when seeding the teams, but if we win the last three games and we fi nish 16-10 with two wins over Holy Angels and one over Blake School it would be hard to not get a home game. If we can fi nish strong and get a home game, it would be a huge accomplishment,” Kallman said.

Chaska is shooting for the No. 3 seed in Section 6AAA behind the two top-ranked teams in Class AAA in Benilde-St. Margaret and Minneapolis Washburn. The Hawks do have a 62-48 win over No. 5-ranked Blake School, who is 19-3 on the season.

“We’ve talked with the guys ever since the Shakopee loss at home. Win or lose, we want to be playing our best basketball at the end of the year. After the Shakopee loss we played if not our best game of the year one of the best games against New Prague and then a great fi rst half when we scored 48 points against Red Wing. I thought we played pretty well for the vast majority against Chanhassen, too. I think our strong non-conference schedule in December has prepared us well for now,” Kallman said.

Chaska defeated Farmington on the Tigers’ home court nearly a month ago. Farmington returned the favor on Tuesday.

The Hawks, which trailed 3331 at halftime, fell by a score of 62-58 to drop into fourth place in the Missota Conference – a half-game behind New Prague and Holy Angels.

Darren Beenken and Nick Varner led all scorers with 18 and 16 points, respectively, for Farmington (9-14).

Matthew Witthus scored a career-high 11 points for Chaska, while Knowles and Seiffert had 10 and nine points.

ONE COMPETITOR Competing in Section 2A for the fi rst time, the Chaska gymnastics team, featuring just one competitor in sophomore Sydney Goff, scored an incomplete in the team standings.

New Prague, ranked No. 2 in Class A, won the section meet Goff received an all-around score of 30.6 placing 27th overall. No individual event scores were available.

WRESTLING

Storm Hawks’ program makes the best out of tough situation

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Forced to split at sections for the fi rst time in the three-year wrestling program, Chaska/ Chanhassen hoped to not face each other on the mat at team sections. The coaches even went as far as asking the other Section 2AAA coaches to try to not make this happen.

Unfortunately, on paper, Chaska and Chanhassen were the eighth- and ninth-best teams in the section, which resulted in a first-round match.

A negative situation was quickly turned into a positive one Saturday in large part due to the closeness and brotherhood that the two schools have developed together both as a coaching staff, but also among wrestlers.

“We came into the day as one team. Basically it was like wrestling our practice partner.

It didn’t really matter what team won. We knew that whatever team won would go out against Prior Lake and give it their all,” Chaska senior Josh Blackowiak said.

Instead of sitting across from each other, which is customary in duals, the two teams sat together as one on a single side of the mat. The two teams stood at the conclusion of every match and congratulated both wrestlers as a team. They wore different singlets, but the name on the front mattered little when the match came to a close.

“We talked about the fact that just because we were wrestling each other as two teams, we were still going to be united as one program. When you go out and wrestle your teammate, you have to wrestle them like they are another opponent. But I think we have a little more respect for them because you’ve been wrestling them every day in practice,” Chanhassen senior Sam Grausam said.

“Having each other on the same bench – it showed we were united as one team even though we had two different singlets on.”

Chaska won the match by a 42-36 decision with 10 of the 14 results ending in a forfeit victory. The most contested match, a 5 -2 vic-tory from Hawks’

Sam Christianson over Sam Vance of Chanhassen, brought a competitive hug between the two wrestlers after the arm was lifted.

Christianson and Vance wrestled in the room against each other all season for the varsity spot at 132 pounds.

Chaska’s Isaac and Ethan Loosbrock also won matches at 106 and 145 pounds, while Cha n hassen’s Corey Heit z scored a second-period pin over Zach Bell at 220 pounds.

Top - s e e de d P r ior L a ke, which beat Shakopee in the championship match later in the day, defeated Chaska 63-9 in the quarterfi nals.

Ethan Loosbrock had the biggest win of the day, pinning Matt Kahnke 44 seconds into the third period. Loosbrock, who nearly had a pin in the second period, reversed Kahnke from the down position onto his back to end the match.

Isaac Loosbrock also won 4-1 over Dylan Sogge for the Hawks’ other three team points.

PREPARING FOR SECTIONS Blackowiak is in a familiar

situation this week in the Section 2AAA Individual Tournament at Shakopee High School beginning at 3:30 p.m. Friday.

T he Ch a sk a sen ior wa s seeded second last year with 23 wins, only to fall 5-3 in the semifinals to Prior Lake’s Mike Von Arx in overtime. He ended up placing fi fth at 170 pounds.

With an overtime win over Shakopee’s Jacob Glynn earlier this season on his resume, he should be among the top seeds along with Prior Lake’s Alex Hart, Lakeville North’s Tristyn Hanson and Glynn.

His resume also includes a handful of victories over wrestlers that were ranked at one point of the season.

“I just have to prepare for next week. I just have to go out and wrestle. I have to show up and wrestle the way I know how to. I don’t look at the rankings and stuff. It’s just a name on the paper,” Blackowiak said.

A varsity wrestler since ninth grade, Blackowiak has posted 66 wins the past three seasons. He has more than 80 for his career. After placing fourth at 152 pounds as a sopho-

After placing fifth at last year’s Section 2AAA Meet, Chaska senior Josh Blackowiak has his sights set on a higher finish this season. He has wrestled and beaten a number of quality and ranked opponents this season. more and fi fth at 160 pounds, he hopes to take the same path his friend Danny Egesdal did last year.

“This year I’ve been going off what Danny and I would do – we were wrestling partners all last year and this summer.

He told me I just have to focus on myself and go on out and wrestle,” Blackowiak said.

Egesdal placed fi fth as a junior, as did Blackowiak, only to win a section title and qualify for state as a senior.

With Egesdal having gradu at e d , t he C h a sk a s en ior searched for a new mentor at the start of the season. Among the candidates was new Chaska Head Coach Brent Eiden-

schink. From the first few practices, Blackowiak was quick to volunteer to help Eidenschink’s technique instructionals.

“He’s a really good coach in what he brings to the table.

He keeps us in good shape and he brings a lot of technique. He isn’t afraid to show us anything,” the wrestler said. “It’s been an adjustment this year because I’ve had so many coaches. But it’s been fun. (Coach Eidenschink) has a buddy that he has come to some practices and he brings a lot of good technique as well.”

The opening rounds of Section 2AAA Tournament begin at 4:30 p.m. Friday with semifinals at 10 am. Saturday.

BOYS SWIMMING AND DIVING

HOLY FAMILY ROUNDUP

Royals’ Janning scores 38 over Fire

Martin is attempting this week to qualify in four state events in Class A.

‘Something just clicked’ for Chaska’s Martin Section 2A prelims begin at 5 p.m. tonight

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

This year has been a different experience for both Connor Martin and the Chaska/ Chanhassen boys swimming and diving team. In his sixth season on the District 112 squad and 13th overall in the pool, the senior has had a season he’ll always remember.

“This year has been different than other years. I’d say I’ve put in about 10 times more effort than any other season.

Something just clicked. Even if practices are going horrible, and the sets are tough, I don’t think about skipping any. And I’ve reaped the benefits from that in my swimming,” said Martin, who goes to school at Chaska.

This season, Martin has transformed himself into a state medal-winner contender with hard work, but also from the support of his teammates

and coaching staff.

After four seasons in which the Chaska program struggled to find much success, this season has been a 180-degree turnaround. The Storm Hawks posted victories in three dual meets, won an invitational and captured the Missota Conference crown two weeks ago in Northfield.

“This is the best team I’ve been a part of since seventh grade. We had a lot of seniors that year and we were really focused, but when we lost all of those seniors we haven’t had a very strong team since.

We’ve always been rebuilding.

We’d focus more on our times than trying to win events. We wouldn’t even try to beat the guy next to us. We cared more about dropping our times,” Martin said.

“This year has been really awesome. I just really like how this team is so unique. We’ve never focused on the winning part until now. We’re focused more on winning for the team.

We are a close g roup that shows strong support for each other,” he added.

That support system has been contagious this season

in large part due to the leadership of the seniors and swimmers that have been with the program for a number of years.

“Senior Ryan Ormson said it best at the banquet. His favorite sport is tennis, but I got him to join swimming last year. In tennis if you win a match your teammates say ‘great job.’ With swimming, if you have a tough race someone is there to tell you to focus on your next race. Or if you do well, there are guys at the end of the lane there to congratulate you and tell you how awesome you did. That support is big,” Martin said.

Support is something Martin has come to appreciate even more this week as the senior is in the midst of a taper for the state meet along with freshman Sean Donnelly. While the other swimmers will get some rest before sections, Chaska’s top two individual swimmers are going through a tough week of practice.

“Some of the guys are jumping around with a ton of energy and Sean and I still have another 1,000 yards to go. It’s tough, but I’m glad Sean and I can do it together. It’s bet-

ter having someone else to go through it. I wouldn’t want to do it alone,” he said.

Martin enters this week’s Section 2A Meet seeking two individual entrants into the state meet. The state qualifying standard for the 100-yard backstroke is 58.63 and the senior is well under at 55.99.

His second event, the 10 0 yard freestyle, will be a bit tougher. His season-best time of 51.47 is almost eight-tenths off the state qualifying time of 50.66.

While he has never competed at the state meet, his experience of previously swimming in Section 6AA should help him compete at a high level this week.

“I’ve swam against the top players from (Eden Prairie) and Edina at sections. Those were the guys I’d face at state anyways, so it almost felt like I was at a state meet. I’m really glad I got to swim against them. It’s been a fun relationship. This week will be a whole new ball game,” Martin said.

Preliminaries for swimming are at 5 p.m. Thursday at Richfield Middle School with the fi nals at 1 p.m. Saturday.

BOYS HOCKEY

Memorable final moment ends tough season for the Hawks Five Chaska seniors skated one last time in a playoff defeat

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Years down the road, Mike Johnson won’t remember how many wins or losses the 2011-12 Chaska boys hockey team had.

The Hawks Head Coach will remember how hard the team fought. He will picture the fi nal 32 seconds of the season with five seniors on the ice. He will think about the impact the Class of 2012 had on a roster full of underclassmen.

Johnson will think about a team that never gave up on him and never on themselves.

Chaska, the No. 11 seed in Section 2A, lost the playoff opener 6-2 to No. 6 St. Louis Park Tuesday to fi nish the season with a 4-22 record.

“We never gave up. We just kept on fighting. We skated hard and that was good to see,” the Chaska coach said.

More than three minutes after pulling within one goal midway through the second period, St. Louis Park broke open a close contest with a pair of goals during the fi nal 6:20 of the stanza.

The Orioles, which seemed to get all the bounces, added two more insurance netters in the third period for a five-goal lead.

“That was the story of our season. This game was literally the story of our year. We played really well for a stretch and then we would make a mistake

At the end of the day, looking at when we played them earlier in the year (and lost 8-0), we weren’t in that game at all. The fi rst periodand-a-half and almost right to the end of the second, a bounce here or a bounce there and maybe it’s a 3-2, 3-3 game,” Johnson said.

A power-play goal from captain Tyler Brodersen gave the Orioles the early lead and it stayed that way until the second period when a defensive turnover resulted in an unassisted goal from Alec Baer for the 2-0 lead.

Baer, an eighth grader, beat fellow eighth grader Thomas Hanson – the Chaska goaltender – through the five-hole.

Baer had two goals and two assists in the win.

Mitch Kirchoff brought the Hawks back within a goal on a wrister through a screen on

the power play with 9:28 remaining in the second period with Brooks Wineberg adding an assist on the goal.

The momentum shi fted only for a few minutes though as freshman Josh Passolt streaked down the left boards and scored on a wrap-around attempt. Baer added his second goal of the game on a top-shelf wrister from the slot with 15 seconds left in the second stanza for the 4-1 lead.

Goals from Steven Karl and Passolt – a breakaway goal off a long feed from Baer – gave St. Louis Park a five-goal advantage.

Kirchoff scored his second goal of the game from Dan Esping in the fi nal minute. After the goal, Johnson sent all five seniors in uniform – Esping, Brady Roers, Sean Brewers, Daniel Hackett and Trent Jackson – onto the ice for the fi nal 32 seconds.

“It was a proud moment

to see five seniors on the ice at the end. It’s something I know they’ll always remember. They g rew up playing together and they went out t o g et her. T hey wer e go o d leaders and they were good kids that improved as hockey pl ayer s. Wit h t he a mou nt of young guys we had, their leadership that they chose to have, I just hope the younger guys picked up on that for the future,” Johnson said.

Hanson stopped 2 9 of 35 shots in the loss for Chaska.

“Last summer seeing Tommy for the first time it was clear he was very talented.

The thing that I kept on thinking was he was a pee wee last year. He came into tryouts and Blake (Jackson) played really well for us. Tommy kept working and he finally caught up to the speed of the game. We brought him along slowly. He started stopping a lot of pucks in practice, so we played him in some third periods. As Tommy started evolving, so did our team,” Johnson said.

Hanson posted a 3-9 record this season, finishing with a save percentage above 85.

He also had two shutouts in victories over Faribault and Bloomington Kennedy.

“You could start to see as Tommy would play, the team would play with him. As he got better, we got better. And Blake did an awesome job, too. Blake is an outstanding goalie that won a big game at Orono. As a goaltender there’s so much spotlight on the position and sometimes being a little younger maybe makes it a little easier. It was a good experience for Tommy. He played very well down the stretch for us,” Johnson added.

Marissa Janning scored 50 points in a recent win for Watertown-Mayer over Le Sueur-Henderson. The senior guard continued to pour in the points, netting 38 points in helping the Royals top host Holy Family Catholic 69-63 Tuesday.

Janning scored 26 points – four below her average – in the first meeting between the teams in the Annandale Invitational semifinals in December. Holy Family won the fi rst contest 78-61.

W-M outscored the Fire 40-35 in the second half.

Hannah Schonhardt led Holy Family (18-6) with 19 points, while Erin RyanMosley netted a career-high 17 points.

Down 32-24 at halftime, HFC outscored host St. Peter 40-25 in the second half as the Fire snapped a 14-game winning streak for the No. 8-ranked Saints with a 64-57 win Feb. 16.

The last loss for St. Peter was Dec. 29 in its home tournament. Holy Family, which had won six of seven games, got a game-high 24 points from Schonhardt. Michaela Rasmussen added 20 points for the Fire.

HEADED TO B-SM John Peterson hit the back of the net with a wrist shot 81 seconds into overtime as Holy Family Catholic completed the season sweep over Wright County Conference champions Delano Friday.

The Tigers fi nished with a record of 9-3 – a half-game ahead of Mound-Westonka, which had a chance to share the title Saturday with a win over Orono. The game ended in a 3-3 tie. HFC was one game back at 8-4 in third place.

The Fire had three onegoal leads in the home-finale contest, including a 4-3 advantage late in regulation. With the goalie pulled for an extra attacker, Delano evened the game on a goal from Dillon McLain with 58 seconds remaining in regulation.

HFC held a 3-0 advantage in shots in the overtime session.

Shane Gersich and Garrett Riebling gave the Fire a 2-1 lead in the second period.

Delano never backed down, matching a tally for every goal HFC put on the board.

Petersen and Will Garin also had goals for the Fire, which concluded the regular season with an 18-7 record.

Goaltender Nick Schreiter had 30 saves in the victory.

HFC, seeded sixth, plays at No. 3 seed Benilde-St. Margaret in the Section 6AA quarterfi nals at 7 p.m. tonight.

84TH ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS

And the award goes to…

Let’s Go staff break down their picks for Oscar gold

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

T

he Academy Awards began in 1929 with a ticket price of $5 and a guest list of 270 people. In 2011, more than 37 million households tuned in to see the winners of 24 competitive categories in the award show better known as The Oscars.

Last year’s big winners were “The King’s Speech” and “Inception” – each bringing in four awards – while “The Social Network” added three trophies.

“Hugo” leads this year’s nominations with 11, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Costume Design and Best Writing.

“The Artist,” which won the Best Picture in the drama category at the Golden Globes last month, also has 10 nominations.

I polled three co-workers – Chaska Herald’s Mollee Francisco and Mark Olson and Eden Prairie News’ Karla Wennerstrom – as well as frequent Let’s Go movie reviewer Jeff Ray, to get their opinions on who will win and who should win.

“Although ‘Hugo’ is probably the most beautiful movie I’ve ever seen and every shot was really beautiful and amazing, ‘The Artist’ left me smiling and laughing and just feeling more. It also left me feeling like I should have eaten my popcorn more quietly.”

Karla Wennerstrom Eden Prairie News editor

“In my opinion, ‘Hugo’ was the most appealing movie of the year because the story and characters engaged me from the very first moment to the very end. Scorsese’s direction was what pulled the movie into a wonderful masterpiece.”

Eric Kraushar Chaska Herald and Chanhassen Villager sports editor

BEST PICTURE The jury is still out on who will win the top award with a solid cast of nominations led by “The Artist,” “Hugo,” “Moneyball” and “The Descendants.” All have qualities that could make them the winner Sunday.

“The Artist” may be the favorite because of its uniqueness by using black-and-white film and no dialogue. Coincidentally, the last silent film to win Best Picture was “Wings” in the inaugural year of the award ceremony (1929). “‘The Artist’ was fun. I don’t want to be deluged with silent movies, but as a one-time nostalgic nod to the movies of yesteryear, they did a good job of getting the audience invested in the movie despite a lack of words or color film,” said Francisco, who has seen six of the Best Picture nominees.

While “Midnight in Paris” was Francisco’s favorite movie of the season, “Hugo” was a “visual delight and should be a shoe-in for the cinematography award.”

“Although ‘Hugo’ is probably the most beautiful movie I’ve ever seen and every shot was really beautiful and amazing, ‘The Artist’ left me smiling and laughing and just feeling more,” said Wennerstrom, who has seen all the Best Picture nominees except “Warhorse” and “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.” “It also left me feeling like I should have eaten my popcorn more quietly.”

Olson is a big fan of “Hugo.”

Because it is, in part, about the history of cinema and directed by Martin Scorsese, it has an edge on the competition, he said. “The cinematography and the story were beautiful and it was the best 3-D film I’ve seen since ‘Avatar.’”

I’m with Olson – my favorite movie of the year is by far “Hugo.”

Everything about it blew me away.

It is the only movie I’ve seen in 3-D where afterward I was happy I paid the extra fee.

BEST ACTOR The Best Actor award once again features some outstanding performances from Hollywood’s top actors in George Clooney (“The Descendants”) and Brad Pitt (“Moneyball”), and less known stars Jean Dujardin (“The Artist) and Demian Bichir (“A Better Life”).

Gary Oldman (“Tinker Tailor Spy”) gave a “wonderful performance from an under-appreciated actor,” Olson said.

Still, it likely comes down to Dujardin and Clooney, who won Golden Globe awards last month.

“I loved Jean Dujardin. He looks so much like Clark Gable,” Francisco said. “Also, he looked good in black and white and knew how to use his face and body to convey emotions.”

“Demian Bichir was really excellent in ‘A Better Life,’ even more amazing when I realized the other movies I’d seen him in,” Wennerstrom said. “George Clooney and Brad Pitt were excellent, but my pick for Best Actor would have to be Jean Dujardin. It takes a lot to convey that much emotion and humor without speaking a word, well, maybe one word.”

While I only saw Pitt and Clooney in action, Dujardin is likely the favorite.

BEST ACTRESS Unlike most major categories, the Best Actress nominees come

In between The “Sophie’s Choice” (1983) and “The n Iron Lady” (2012), she has been nominated 12 times.

It may be the worstt movie ho I’ve ever seen – and I saw ‘Nacho Libre,’” she said.

That leaves the category to el two men – Scorsese and Michel he Hazanavicius. Scorsese won the Golden Globe and I don’t see why he on. I doesn’t sweep the award season. mean, he found something in Sacha now Baron Cohen that I did not know existed.

Ridgeview gives over $27 million In 2010, Ridgeview Medical Center’s physicians and medical and support staff gave more than $27 million in services and in-kind contributions to the communities it serves, according to a report recently released by the Minnesota Hospital Association.

Ridgeview’s free and re duced-cost programs and services ranged from charity care, free health screenings, health education, community health programs, in-kind donations to other nonprofit community health initiatives and more, according to a Ridgeview press release.

“One of the many ways Ridgeview demonstrates our mission is through our community benefit program,” stated Robert Stevens, president and CEO, Ridgeview Medical Center. “We continually assess the needs of our five-county service area, identify service gaps and issues, use our resources, and work with other community groups to impact the health and wellness of the communities we serve.”

In 2010, Ridgeview’s community benefit contributions included offering reduced-cost mammograms to eligible women, free lactation consultations to new mothers, discounts to the uninsured and underinsured, free prostate and skin cancer screenings, financial support to the Carver County Health Partnership and Westonka WeCAN service, and contributions due to the underfunding of Medicare/Medicaid.

I n a dd it ion , R id g ev iew provided free blood pressure checks to hundreds of people at health fairs, staffed community events with its ambulance and paramedic support, and sponsored initiatives to promote healthy lifestyle and family activities, such as the Walk on Waconia and city of Chaska 10K/5K run/walk event.

Ridgeview’s contributions are included in the statewide Minnesota Hospital Association report, which highlights the $3.4 billion in community benefit contributed in 2010 by Minnesota hospitals and health systems. According to the Minnesota Hospital Association: T he mo st si g n i f ic a nt growth in hospitals’ community contributions is in the form of uncompensated care, which includes both “charity care” and “bad debt.” Charity care increased by 27 percent from 2009 to 2010, to $226.5 million.

Uncompensated care increased by 4 percent to $496.5 million.

Another driver of community contribution expenses is the actual cost of treating patients that exceed the payments hospitals receive from

Medicare and Medicaid.

Ridgeview Medical Center is an independent, regional health care network serving the west-metro area. Its awardwi nni ng network i ncludes the Waconia-based acute care hospital, numerous primary and specialty care clinics, emergency services, specialty prog rams and Two Twelve Medical Center in Chaska. For more information, visit www. ridgeviewmedical.org or www. twotwelvemedical.org.

Bremer joins Chaska Family Dr. Angela J. Bremer, a chiropractor, recently joined Chaska Family Chiropractic.

Bremer is a 2005 graduate from Northwestern Angela Health Science Bremer U n i v e r s i t y.

She owned and operated Explore Chiropractic in Bemidji. After six years she decided to move her family back to the metro area.

She was a chiropractic intern for Dr. Chandra Miller at Chaska Family Chiropractic in 2004-2005. She recently returned from completing the last 25 hours of a six-month training program in advanced clinical nutrition.

Bremer is one of only 405 health practitioners who have graduated a very extensive Advanced Clinical Training program in Nutrition Response Testing, according to a press release. “I found the training to be invaluable as an upgrade of my clinical nutrition skills and abilities to help those who have had or are having physical difficulties which may well have a nutrition-related cause,” Bremer stated.

Chaska Family Chiropractic is located at 103 West Second Street and has been serving the community for 13 years. For more information, call (952) 368-9958 or visit chaskafamilychiro.com.

Mahone promoted to Allianz CAO Chaska resident Cathy Mahone was promoted to the post of Chief Administrative Officer for A llianz Li fe Insurance Company of North America, where she will be responsible for Enterprise Operations, IT, Compliance and other strategic initiatives.

Mahone also joins the company’s Executive Leadership Group and will report directly to Allianz Life President and CEO Walter White.

“Cathy has had a tremendous positive impact since joining our organization in 2008.

She has fostered a culture of continuous improvement and of always doing what is right for Allianz Life customers,” stated White, in a press release.

“Her leadership has generated increased customer satisfaction, stronger relationships with our partners, improved employee engagement, and significant gains in efficiency and productivity.”

During her tenure as Allianz Life senior vice president of Enterprise Operations, departments under her leadership received several awards for service quality, including Dalbar’s 2011 Financial Intermediary Service Quality Award and the 2011 Allianz Life Department of the Year award. Beyond leading several key initiatives for Allianz Life, Mahone also was instrumental in creating a partnership with Lifeworks, a nonprofit serving people with disabilities. Allianz Life has since employed eight Lifeworks clients and is a key business partner for the organization.

Prior to joining Allianz Life, Mahone held several leadership positions during her 20-year tenure at Ameriprise Financial. Mahone holds a master’s degree in Business Communications from the University of St. Thomas and a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communications from the University of Minnesota.

She also holds her FINRA Series 7 and 24 licenses.

Allianz Life is part of Allianz SE, a global business in the financial services industry with 150,000 employees worldwide and more than 75 million private and corporate customers.

Chanhassen artist Barbara Cobb will have her unique mixed media works on display for the month of March at the Chanhassen Library.

“Since my last exhibit in 2010, I have been dabbling in a few different media. I still have some acrylic paintings and some recycled material pieces in this show, but I also have some fiber pieces this time.

Most of the fiber pieces are needle felted wool and almost all of it is abstract in style,” Barbara says.

“A while back I took a felting class at the Textile Center of Minnesota, and have continued to dabble with that. It involves wool roving (combed wool) and a barbed needle. Wool fibers have a barb on them and poking the barbed needle repeatedly through layers of the roving causes the wool barbs to hook onto each other. This is what creates the felt. … I purchased most of my dyed wool from a

farm in central Wisconsin. The shading in the wool or the color itself helped determine what was created.

“I love color and have been lucky enough to able to use that color with any of the media I have tried. I go from one extreme to another with color – bright and bold to natural colors. I love watching how the colors in the sky blend and change or how paint is peeling or metal is rusting.

“I find inspiration everywhere, but I am a huge nature fan and really love being outdoors. Trying to preserve the earth is part of the reason that I try to recycle materials, such as dryer sheets, in my art. When I think I am close to fi nished with a piece, I will ‘live with it’ a while. I may hang it on a wall or leave it on a table so I see it

on a regular basis. I may turn it upside down or sideways just to get a different perspective and to see if I need to add another color or if a wool piece needs beads or wire.

NEWS BRIEF

Christmas in May seeking applicants Chaska’s 16th Christmas in May is May 19, 2012.

Christmas in May-Chaska is a local non-profit organization that enlists volunteers and coordinates a one-day work project to repair and rehabi litate the homes of Chaska residents who don’t have the fi nancial or physical ability to accomplish.

Skilled and unskilled volunteers do the work, which can include painting, plumbi ng, c a r pent r y, elect rica l work, hauling, cleaning, and landscaping.

Christmas in May-Chaska,

modeled after a national program, began in 1996, when volunteers in Chaska decided to devote one day in May to repair and spruce up the homes of low-income, disabled, and elderly neighbors in the community.

It is offered at no cost to the home owner and a community bonding experience, not only for the homeowners, but for the many volunteers who participate with cash contributions, materials, and labor.

Potential applicants with homes in need of repairs that they cannot make themselves, or afford to hire others to accomplish, can contact Christmas in May-Chaska by March 15, 2012 at (952) 361-5350.

Carver County on the dial One evening, I accepted the invitation of my daughter and her friend to watch a television program with them. I arrived to fi nd: the television on, both playing games, on separate laptop computers, and both talking and sending text messages on their phones – all at the same time. Can you say information overload?

I had to wonder why they had even invited me to join them. What happened to the days when people talked to each other – in person?

Does anyone else remember the days before computers? Do you remember the day when telephones were attached to walls and party lines were the norm? How about when television only came in black and white? Now, take it back further. Is there anyone who can remember hearing their first radio show? How about the novelty of having a radio in your car?

The photo indexing project at t he Ca r ver Cou nty Historical Society has unearthed some very interesting photos.

One such photo is of E.L. Sell and Herman Zummach standing in front of a 1922 Hudson Super 6 touring car. The picture had just about been tucked away, when I noticed a handwritten red message at the bottom of the picture.

It read, “America’s fi rst radio equipped car, 1922.”

E.L. Sell was the son of O.D. Sell, founder of the Carver County Historical Society. A phone call to E.L.’s son Charles confirmed the picture, the radio message, and provided some interesting information about the 1922 Hudson which apparently had seen its fair share of racing.

What interested me the most was the date of the photo. It was in 1922 that Carl Jabs of Chaska opened the fi rst “radio station” in Carver County. According to the June 1, 1922 Weekly Valley Herald, Jabs opened a “radio station” in the old barber shop.

No call letters were given for Jabs’ radio station, but I was able to locate two early local

advertising that

works for local businesses

Advertising in Southwest Newspapers’ print and online products gets results.

Carver Country Flowers & Gifts advertises in the monthly Savvy.mn Magazine.

Owner Annette Hentz is pleased with the results:

“

Our shop has been in business for nearly three years. We have tried every form of publicity to let our community know we exist. What’s difficult about advertising is knowing whether it’s working.

About five months ago, we decided to take a risk on Savvy.mn. We pulled our advertising from all other media to focus solely on Savvy.mn for the subsequent 12 months. It’s the best advertising decision we’ve made since we opened.

Within the first month, customers were coming in saying, “I saw your ad in Savvy,” or “Where’s that product you featured in Savvy?” Customers who love the magazine but didn’t live in the SW Metro (and thus could not receive a free copy in the mail) were coming in regularly to pick up the magazine.

Then we hosted a Savvy Soiree. Our event “sold out.”

The day of our Soiree was the biggest sales day we’ve had since we opened our doors.

Our risk paid off. We will continue our relationship with Savvy.mn because we have evidence that it works.

PETERSEN-BIORN MOMENT IN TIME

stations with the call letters of W9VEF and W9JDO, which left me wondering about the how and why behind the origin of radio in Carver County. The meaning behind the call letters for the radio stations was in and of itself both very interesting and quite a task to uncover.

In 1914, the book Commercial and Government Radio Stations of the United States of America, published by the United States Department of Commerce (and retrieved for this column via Google Books) noted how radio stations worldwide were given their call letters. All commercial, public and government radio stations would be given a three letter call sign. The United States would assign their stations combinations of letters starting with N and W, and KDA through KZZ inclusive.

The earliest Carver County professional radio station, was WOM which became KWOM, (1989-2004) then KZGX (20042 0 07) and now K PN P. It is owned by Self Retire, Inc. but still licensed to Watertown.

The studios are located in the Twin Cities metro and now broadcast a World Ethnic format. Note the change in the call letters from beginning with a W to beginning with a K. Prior to 1923, the designation of call letters beginning with K or W was defi ned by a line that ran roughly along the Texas-New Mexico border and followed the eastern boarders of Colorado, Wyoming and Montana, according to the website http://earlyradiohistory.us.

In January 1923, the line was moved to follow the Mississippi River. Radio station call letters on the west side of the Mississippi would start with K, those east of the Mississippi would start with W. For the radio station WOM, in Watertown, this ruling meant that the letter K was added to the original designation.

An exception to the rule applied to stations in Minnesota or Louisiana that were either north or south of where the Mississippi River began or

ended. These stations’ call setters could start with a K or a W. Radio broadcasts originating from a ship had the exact opposite coding. Ships, located in the Atlantic Ocean, began their call letters with K and those in the Pacific Ocean began with W. A m ateu r r ad io st at ion s (ham radios) would be given a different coding. The call letters of an amateur radio station would consist of three items. The fi rst letter would be a K, W or N as agreed to by the 1917 international agreement. These letters signified the radio station originated in the United States. The number referred to the radio district.

Minnesota is in the 9th district. The fi nal set of items was originally a two letter code for the specific radio station. As stations numbers increased this coding was increased to three letters.

The first “Carver County licensed broadcast station” is listed as K9JDO in the May 5, 1932 edition of the Weekly Valley Herald. The call letters indicating an amateur radio station was owned and operated by E.F. Kelm, “banker and prominent citizen of Chanhassen.” In 1935, radio station W9VEF, operated by 16-year-old Francis Fiebelkorn of Chaska, joined the airwaves.

“Why Treaties Matter: SelfGovernment in the Dakota and Ojibwe Nations” is a new traveling exhibition that will explore the Native nations in Minnesota and their history of treaty making with the United States.

The exhibit will open Feb. 8 at the Carver County Historical Society, where it will be on view through March 7. Following its close at the CCHS, the exhibition will begin a statewide tour through 2012 to reservations and other venues under the auspices of the Minnesota Humanities Center and its partner, the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council.

In August 2010, a resolution creating a unique partnership of the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council, the Minnesota Humanities Center, and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. was approved unanimously by the tribes residing in Minnesota and made it possible for the exhibition to be developed as an educational tool for Minnesota audiences.

The exhibition will include

20 free-standing banners with evocative text, historical and contemporary photographs and maps, and a 10-minute video titled, “A Day in the Life of the Minnesota Tribal Nations.”

This exhibit reveals how Dakota and Ojibwe treaties with the U.S. government affected the lands and lives of the Indigenous peoples of the place we now call Minnesota, and explains why these binding agreements between nations still matter today.

“Treaties are agreements between sel f-governing, or sovereig n, nations,” stated Kevin Leecy, chairman of the Bois Forte Band of Ojibwe and chairman of the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council. “Native Nations existed long before the formation of the United States.

European powers recognized the sovereign status of Native Nations when they made treaties with us, as did the United States.”

“In order to create the vibrant Minnesota of the future we need to understand the importance of the agreements — the treaties — between the sov-

ereign Indian nations and the United States,” said Minnesota Humanities Center President David O’Fallon. “Understanding these treaties is important now — it affects how we live — and will shape the future.”

“The history of Indian treaties is the history of all Minnesotans and all Americans,” says Kevin Gover (Pawnee), director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian. “Even now, states, Native nations, and the federal government continue to engage on a government-to-government basis every day, making in effect new treaties, building upon those made many years ago. We cannot have a complete understanding of what it means to be Americans without knowing about these relationships, whether we are Native Americans or not.”

“Why Treaties Matter” is funded in part with money from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund and The Patrick and Aimee Butler Family Foundation. For more information, visit www.mnhum.org/ treaties.
