Chaska: The next biomedical mecca? BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com
W
hen Chaska re ceived its “bioscience zone” designation from the state in February 2008, the city had visions of turning corn fields on the west side of town into a biomedical mecca that would create upward of 10,000 high quality, high wage jobs. But tax breaks and incentives packages were not enough to draw immediate interest to the city’s 800-acre “Biotech Center.” In other words, biomedical companies weren’t exactly beating down Chaska’s door or stumbling over one another to sign on the dotted line.
Three and a half years later, the fi rst company in Chaska’s Biotech Center is planning to open sometime next year. UnitedHealth Group isn’t exactly what the city had envisioned – the 250,000-square-foot data center will only employ around 50 people – but it could be just the ticket to get the ball rolling on future development. “We’re fortunate to have United Health Group come in first,” said Chaska City Administrator Matt Podhradsky. “They brought the infrastructure.” When construction is complete on the data center, located northwest of Engler Boulevard and Highway 212, the city will be able to boast street connections, access to the fiber network and easy electrical hookups, thanks to a new substation. Podhradsky believes those factors, coupled with freeway access and high visibility, could entice companies looking for a new metro location. He likes to think of it as “shovel ready” property.

What’s so special about a bioscience zone designation? The bioscience zone designation would allow the city to offer an incentives package to bioscience companies that includes tax exemptions, refundable job credits and refundable research and development credits for up to 12 years. Chaska’s bioscience zone designation includes the Biotech Center as well as the Crosby Industrial Park.
County lags trend in same-sex couples BY RICHARD CRAWFORD editor@chanvillager.com
Same-sex households
In a county with a conservative reputation, it may not be a surprise that the number of same-sex couples is comparatively low. And that’s just what recently released U.S. census figures on samesex couples show. Carver County has a smaller percentage of same-sex couples than the state of Minnesota as a whole.

Tim Griffi n, former Chaska Education Association president, said Bauck has a good handle on what is going on in District 112. “He thoroughly understands the teachers’ perspective, because he is a lifelong educator, coming up through teaching and administration roles,” said Griffi n. “He makes a point to get out into the buildings to talk with teachers, administrators and students.” Griffi n said Bauck’s style is helpful in a difficult time of education funding. “He has built trust with the teachers and the community and is

Police oer reward in attempted robbery case
continued from page 1
BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com
Police are offering a $ 500 reward for information about an attempted robbery that occurred on Aug. 4. The Chaska Police Department reported that the incident occurred around 3 p.m. at the Peterson Car Wash on the northwest corner of Crosstown Boulevard and Parallel Street. A woman had just fi nished washing her car when she was allegedly confronted by a man with a handgun. According to police, he demanded that she give him her purse, but the woman f led on foot instead, heading west. Meanwhile, the suspect allegedly ran off in the opposite direction, running between two apartment buildings on Crosstown Boulevard. No shots were fired. The woman was not injured and no personal property was stolen. A witness used his cell phone to call 911. Officers searched the area using a K-9 unit and canvassing the neighborhood door-to-door, but were unable to locate the suspect. He remains at large. The suspect is described as being a black male in his late 20s or early 30s. He is approximately 5’11 with a medium-toheavy build. At the time of the incident, he is believed to have been wearing a black hat and a shirt with red, white, gray and black horizontal stripes and plaid shorts. He was also reported to be carrying a black handgun. The $ 500 reward is for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the suspect. Anyone with information is asked to call the Chaska Police Department at (952) 448-4200 or the Tip Line at (952) 227-2479.
very capable of working with a variety of groups to come up with the way to move forward in a positive direction,� said Griffi n. Grif fin’s comments echo what the District 112 School Board looked for in early 2010 as it sought a replacement for Jennings, who was set to retire in June 2010. Poor economic conditions in 2008 led to budget cuts, which had not been seen for quite some time in the district. Combined with significant changes like the secondary program redesig n, new Chanhassen High School opening, a $ 2.1 million accounting error, and gridlocked teacher contract negotiations, some claimed that staff morale suffered. The school board sought leadership to rebuild these relationships. In March 2010, during the superintendent selection process, Board Member Lisa Anderson commented that “information from our community feedback said a new superintendent needed a strong educational background and must be a good communicator and healer.� W h i le B auck’s c ont r ac t runs through June 2013, his salary was frozen as part of t he cost- cut ti ng me asu res included in the budget process this year. The School Board completed his first-year evaluation during a closed session in July and has chosen not to comment on it until the board approves the evaluation at its Aug. 18 board meeting. Bauck recently answered a few questions about his first

year as superintendent and what the near future holds. Q: When your District 112 term began, you said you would take a “Look, Listen a nd L ea r n� approach to understanding the district. Were you able to accomplish that? A: Yes. I was able to visit one to two buildings every week, which meant I covered each one three to five times over the course of the year. I tried to visit with as many teachers and principals as p o s sible t o get t hei r t a ke on how the school year was progressing and learn what their instructional strategies were. I also attended extracurricular and community events. A leader needs to be where the work is done to truly understand the concerns and compliments. Building relationships is important when making critical decisions. Q : What did you learn about the district? A: This district has a strong heritage and tradition, so there is a lot of emotion and feeling behind decisions made prior to my term. But people didn’t walk up and grab me with a list of 20 items that are going wrong right now. There were a lot of positive comments and ideas focused on what is going on to help kids achieve the most they possibly can. I don’t see a need for a major change in the direction we’re going. There is always room for tweaks, but that will come from the professional staff and parents involved in the new programs we have.

a variety of pilots with the elementary redesign project, INSPIRE. Q: What has surprised you about District 112? A: I’ve come to appreciate the resiliency and willingness of staff and administration to stretch their thinking to try new concepts. Education personnel in general are sometimes slow to embrace innovation and change, but I have seen very little of that here. One is always hopeful staff members feel that way, but I have really experienced it in my building visits. With programs like the secondary redesign and INSPIRE, more people are getting involved with how we want to teach children, which means those programs have a greater likelihood of surviving over time. Q: What concerns have you heard in District 112? A: There still remains a tumultuousness over the fact there are two high schools and their attendance boundaries. Dividing from one to two is tough and comparisons will remain until there are three high schools. I’ve heard the cry to use one building as a ninth- and tenthgrade school and the other as a eleventh- and twelfth-grade school. We have worked hard to ensure similar programs and opportunities for students at

“Shovel ready� property was one of the things that attracted Lake Region Medical to Chaska more than 30 years ago. “We were one of the first here when it comes to medical,� said Lake Region Medical President/CEO Mark Fleischhaker. Lake Region Medical moved from the Minnetonka Industrial Park to Chaska’s Crosby Industrial Park in 1973. “We wanted room for growth,� said Fleischhaker. “We wanted to own our own buildings.� Lake Region Medical is just the kind of biomedical company that Chaska would love to fi ll its Biotech Center with. They employ more than 750 people at their Chaska location, creating components for medical devices as well as complete medical devices. “We have 75 percent of the world market in guidewires,� said Fleischhaker. “We sell our products in 46 countries. One of our guidewires is used every 1.2 seconds.� Guidewires are used in a variety of medical procedures, such as placing catheters and inserting stents. Lake Region is among a number of biomedical companies already in town, including Lifecore Biomedical, Entegris and Beckman Coulter. Like Lake Region Medical, Beckman Counlter settled in town well before Chaska began vying for a bioscience zone designation. Beckman Coulter has a long history in Chaska, fi rst arriving as Kallestad Laboratories in 1972. After a series of name changes, mergers and acquisitions, the company is now known as Beckman Coulter. They “develop, manufacture and market complex biomedical tests and equipment used throughout the world in hospitals and other critical care settlings as well as in research laboratories.� Beckman Coulter Communications Manager Pamela Strand expanded that to say, “Our diagnostic systems produce information used by physicians to diagnose disease, make treatment decisions and monitor patients. Scientists use our life science research instruments and tests to study complex biological problems, including causes of disease

both schools and will continue to do so. Q: What are the future areas of focus for District 112? A: Our fi nancial house is in order because of the work we’ve put in analyzing it, but my opinion is that funding can change anytime the legislature meets. Many of our facilities are getting older, so we have to focus on protecting these assets we have and how we use these facilities. St ren g t heni n g a nd i mproving how we evaluate our
staff is another important piece. We are committed to holding the course on curriculum changes we have made. So we have a healthy work agenda, but funding resources is what drives them. Technology is the tool kids use today, but we do not have a technology levy for this district. Surrounding districts like Eden Prairie, Bloomington, Edina and Minnetonka all receive a set amount of money annually for technology. With the growth this district experienced over the years, we’ve been able to tuck a little money in the multiple bond issues for technology, but there hasn’t been a bond referendum here since 2006. That technology is aging and we don’t have the money to replace it. We’re not behind the eight ball yet, but we could use a steady funding stream for our technology resources, so we have to decide if we need to ask the public for a technology levy or fi gure out other means.
provide support to gay youth. Zahn said they also hope their efforts can help advocate for tolerance and respect of the GLBT community. Zahn said while she recalls fi lling out census paperwork last year, she didn’t remember the specific questions. She said she would have answered truthfully about her relationship, although she said could

and potential new therapies or drugs. In addition, we offer laboratory automation solutions to help improve workflow and reduce the cost of care.� Much like Lake Region Medical, Beckman Coulter came to Chaska to spread its wings. “Moving from the start-up location of a St. Louis Park dental office basement, the company was drawn to the business park and all that the area offered in terms of land and growth opportunity, housing, trail systems and community feel,� stated Strand in an e-mail. Today the company employs about 1,000 full time and contract workers. “Minnesota is considered one of the best medical device markets,� said Podhradsky. And the state wants to retain that reputation, awarding new bioscience zone designations to 11 Minnesota cities in 2008. Minneapolis, St. Paul and Rochester were the only three cities to have the designation before 2008.
“There have been times we’ve done small jobs for one another,� said Fleischhaker, noting work with Beckman Coulter and Lifecore Biomedical. Fleischhaker believes that the city has put itself in a great position to attract other biomedical companies like his. “The 212 corridor made a big difference,� he said. “It was a necessary tool to grow the area. “It’s a 20-minute drive to the U of M campus,� he continued. “The distance west is not a negative anymore.� Podhradsky would agree. “Location-wise, we’re the same distance from Minneapolis as the Burnsville Center. And we’re on the right side of the river.�
THE MORE THE MERRIER Fleischhaker was among Chaska’s many suppor ters when it began to pursue the biomedical designation. Not only did he travel with city staff to a biomedical conference in Boston, he also wrote a letter of support for their designation application. “I’ve always been a fan of the bioscience designation,� said Fleischhaker. He said that not only is it a good model for other areas, but also a “good recipe for high quality jobs.� Both Beckman Coulter and Lake Region Medical see the value of having more biomedical companies in town. “Having a solid base of biomedical companies in Chaska offers opportunities for networking and sharing best practices,� wrote Strand. “Together we’re making many advances in medical science. There is a rich field of skilled scientific and technical expertise in this area, and the broad company offering and beautiful location are benefits in drawing further talent. In addition to the medical companies, we’re able to partner with some of the local suppliers.� There have already been occasions where Chaska’s existing biomedical companies have looked to one another for assistance.
SETTING THE STAGE To prepare for future development at the Biotech Center, Chaska has partnered with Carver County to begin improvements to Engler Boulevard. The city received a $900,000 grant from the Department of Employment and Economic Development that will act as a stimulus for the work. The project includes the expansion to four lanes from the Highway 212 interchange to the city’s western boundary, turn lanes and the construction of a permanent signal. Design work will be ongoing throughout the winter. The project will go out for bid in the spring with roadwork expected begin next summer. “This is the project that will open up everything to the south,� Podhradsky told the Chaska City Council at a July work session. In all there are 400 to 500 developable acres on the south side of Engler. The project is proposed to be split with 70 percent of the cost being shouldered by the county, 30 percent by the city. A $400,000 assessment will be levied against the Frey property south of Engler. “This is very feasible,� said Chaska City Engineer Bill Monk. “It can be done with very little-to-no resources from the city.� For Podhradsky, it’s a big step toward fully realizing the city’s vision for the bioscience zone. The fields may be fi lled with corn crops today, but with any luck, they’ll soon make Chaska a biomedical center. “We’re going to be as ready as possible,� said Podhradsky.

Double down and out Chaska’s KFC closes BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com
Chaska’s Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) closed late last month. With no warning, the business abruptly shut its doors leaving a sig n on the door that reads, “Thank you for your business. This location is closed.” The KFC first opened on Aug. 2, 1989, with the Herald reporting, “In a mind for a piece of the ‘Colonel’s’ chicken? No need to cross the river to get it from here on in.” Tax records show the building belonging to Laura and Thomas Wood of Wood Fam-
ily Foods. A call made to the couple’s home in New Prague was met with a message that the phone had been disconnected. E-mails to KFC’s corporate headquarters elicited no response. Chaska City Administrator Matt Podhradsky noted that the city hadn’t an inkling that the fast food restaurant was closing. “It came as much a surprise to us as anyone,” he said. T he news posted on t he Herald’s Facebook page elicited a number of responses from surprised and saddened cu stomers i ncludi ng Dave Happe who wrote, “Fare thee wel l , K F C employe e s . My daughter will miss your fried goodness.” Jeff Van Haveren called the closure “A sign of the times. We ain’t seen nothing yet!”

United Sugars employees have been taking shifts on the picket line since they were locked out of their Stoughton Avenue factory on Aug. 1. American Crystal Sugar (a co-owner of United Sugars) forced workers out last Monday after Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco and Grain Millers union members rejected the company’s last contract offer. “It was bad negotiations from the start,” said Jerry Lahr, of Waconia. “They had

every intention of locking us out from the start.” In all, the lockout affects some 1,300 employees across Minnesota and North Dakota. Nineteen of those employees work at the United Sugars Chaska plant producing liquid sugar. None of the workers picketing last week knew when negotiations might start up again or when they’d be back to work. “Could be 30 days,” said Lahr, noting that they were eligible to apply for unemployment. Meanwhile, a second tent set up near the sugar plant’s gate offered up shade to three security guards.

39 neighborhoods out for the night There were 39 neighborhoods participating in National Night Out on Aug. 2. The event is billed as a way to heighten crime awareness a nd st r en g t hen nei g hb or hoods. Chaska Police officers, fi refi ghters, paramedics, and politicians visited the parties, spread out across Chaska. “We just don’t get together enough because everyone’s so busy,” said Sarah Heyer, who
decided to organize one of the parties at her Clover Ridge home. Heyer’s party was one of ten held in Chaska’s Jonathan neighborhood, where 250 people participated, according to a Jonathan Association press release. The association reimbursed each neighborhood that held a party up to $100 for expenses. According to Jonathan Association President Nate Bostrom,
a popular aspect of Jonathan’s National Night Out was the opportunity for kids and parents to take a ride in an antique fi re truck driven by owner/operator Nick Modders. “We provided 22 rides for approximately 130 riders during the evening,” reported Bostrom. “And I estimate that at least 15 different kids got the opportunity to run the fire truck siren during those excursions.”

Workers remove piles of track by Chaska’s 1911 Minneapolis & St. Louis Depot.
End of the line There wasn’t any pomp one recent balmy afternoon. There was just a bunch of big guys with a bunch of big machines lifting up, then hauling away, downtown’s old railroad tracks. The trucks rolled by the Chaska depot, where generations of residents would have stepped foot in Chaska – some for the fi rst time, some for the last. Then the workers passed the now-shuttered bar where big Cy Leivermann held court as the “mayor between the tracks.” Then they cleaned up the tracks in front the Chaska Mill building, where railroad cars once loaded up with the city’s renowned White Diamond Flour. To say things have changed is a laughable understatement. The depot sells wine and chocolate. The Chaska Mill is full of offices, as well as the new Cy’s bar. Trains hadn’t used the tracks since 20 07, when a river-bottom bridge collapsed and railroad cars fi lled with sugar dumped their sweet load into the Minnesota River. We all know that outer-ring suburbs come with a continuous change of landscape. Still, it was hard to avoid a lump in the throat while watching workers remove what was left of downtown’s railroad tracks. Once upon a time those tracks,
built by the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad (MS&L), along with the long-gone Hastings & Dakota Railroad tracks, ensured the area’s continuous prosperity. Carver and Chaska exist because they were the last town sites on the Minnesota River before steamboats hit the treacherous Carver Rapids. But as trains replaced steamboats in the 1870s, railroad lines guaranteed the continued growth of Chaska, and to a lesser extent, Carver. Chaska and Carver were able to ship out f lour, sugar, canned vegetables and bricks on the railroad, ensuring some form of economic vitality until well into the 20th century. By then, roads had replaced tracks as the preferred method of shipping goods, and high-tech industrial parks had replaced agriculture-based factories. The demolition of downtown’s tracks will continue – culminating in the removal of the Carver bridge this fall. The city of Carver recently saved a small 1870 remnant of the bridge from the wrecking ball, to remind people of the railroad’s importance. The railroad bed is now slated for a number of other uses – a large sewer line, new road connections and, most importantly a pedestrian/ bike trail. However, it’s doubtful any of these things will ever match the status once held by the railroad.
County will flat-line levy In Carver County, and throughout Minnesota, property taxes provide most of the funding for local government services. Property taxes paid by Carver County residents are distributed to the county, local school districts, other governing municipalities, and special taxing districts such as the Metropolitan Council, Southwest Metro Transit, Watershed Districts, the Metropolitan Mosquito Control, and others. Each property’s share of taxes is determined according to its property classification (i.e. commercial, single family residential, farmland, etc.) assessed value, and the applicable property tax levies of each governing district. Following through on the Carver County Board’s goal of decreasing the tax-impact on average-value homes, the Carver County Administrator’s recommended budget strategy for 2012 seeks to flatline the projected levy at $46 million. As a result, County divisions have been asked to cut 2.9 percent from their budgets with a goal of trimming $1.3 million county-wide. County divisions submitted their budget requests at budget hearings with board members throughout July. After a series of workshops, the County Board will prepare for a vote on a preliminary 2012 tax levy on Sept. 6. Part of the 2012 budget strategy anticipates no wage increases for county employees, and no bond sales to finance large capital projects. Despite cuts, the county aims to minimize impacts to service levels and continue to have no reliance on County Program Aid from the

state to fund ongoing operations. Any County Program Aid received in 2011-12 will be for one-time capital projects on a pay-as-you-go basis. By flat-lining the levy, the county’s portion of the total property tax bill for the averagevalue home will decrease slightly for 2012. Under direction of the County Board, Carver County has decreased its impact on the averagevalue home property tax every year since 2005. Once the Carver County Board sets the 2012 preliminary tax levy in September, the final 2012 tax levy can be lower but cannot be increased for 2012. In October, the county administrator will present a recommended 2013 long-term financial plan as a planning tool to fund future operations and capital projects. The County Board will vote to adopt the final 2012 levy, budget and 2013 long-term financial plan after a public hearing in December. Gayle Degler, of Chanhassen, is a Carver County commissioner.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ZEBRA MUSSELS
Allow pilot project at Lake Minnewashta Recently the term A.I.S. (Aquatic Invasive Species) has become the buzz word for boaters, lakeshore owners and governments because zebra mussels have infested more waters throughout the state. They were first discovered in the east end of Lake Minnetonka in 2010 and by this spring had spread through the entire lake. This has brought many projects and proposals to slow or prevent the spread to other lakes. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources increased inspections of boats at many access ramps, but the work is limited because of tight budget constraints. Lake associations from Minnewashta, Christmas and Lotus lakes, along with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD), have proposed a pilot project to study whether managing access at these lakes will prevent the spread of zebra mussels, which threaten fishing, boating, lakeshore and the health of our lakes. This proposal would require cooperation from the cities of Shorewood and Chanhassen and Carver County, the DNR, as well as lakeshore owners. The pilot project would place an inspection station at Minnewashta Regional Park that would be staffed by DNR inspectors during open park hours. This managed access plan would require that you go to a shared inspection site, such as at Minnewashta Regional Park, to obtain an inspection, and as long as your boat and trailer were found to be clean of A.I.S., you could proceed to the lake access for your day on the water. If your boat and trailer were found to contain any A.I.S., you would be denied access until you cleaned your boat and passed another inspection. 1. Will this plan guarantee zebra mussels or new A.I.S. would not infest these lakes? No. 2. Will it slow the spread of and possibly prevent an infestation? Yes, with hopes that we can prevent infesting the lakes until a long-term solution can be found. 3. Will this proposal educate boat owners about the current law and problems A.I.S. will cause once they infest a lake? Yes. 4. Do I as a fisherman feel this plan is helpful? Yes. 5. Do I feel the plan is proposed to limit lake access? No. I believe from studying this issue and attending a number of meetings that this pilot project is worth the cost being borne by the MCWD, lake associations and DNR. They should go ahead with this pilot project through the summer of 2012, study the results and then determine that it either be: 1) continued; 2) expanded; 3) ended if it has failed. I therefore urge the Carver County Park Board, Carver County Board

Several groups helped with the recent annual “active older adult” picnic in City Square Park.
THANKS
Many help behind scenes at picnic The tradition continues … On Aug. 3 at City Square Park the Chaska Lions Club and Chaska Park and Recreation Department hosted the annual AOA (active older adult) Picnic. It was a perfect summer evening of picnic food, music by the Kujda Orchestra, and great weather. For the past several years, I have had the privilege of coordinating this picnic. I am thrilled with the continued partnership with the Chaska Lions on this event. They are a top-notch organization and it is always a pleasure to work with them. As usual they worked hard behind the grills to provide a good meal for our AOA population. Their contribution to this
of Commissioners and the city of Chanhassen to allow this pilot project to move forward and support the efforts of the MCWD and these lake associations to manage access, with high hopes of preventing an infestation of zebra mussels and other A.I.S. into these lakes.

POLITICS
Make a stronger middle class The Republican Party should be very proud of themselves. They brought the world to the brink of an economic disaster. For the only time in the history of this country, they refused to raise the debt limit. And why you may ask? Because they want President Obama to be a one-term president. They don’t really care about the
community celebration is greatly appreciated. There are many behind the scene operations that go into providing a picnic for nearly 400 people and I absolutely could not do it without the support of a great team. Thanks to the city of Chaska Public Works Department for all their efforts of moving tables, providing extra chairs, and so quickly having the park “picnic ready” after River City Days. Thanks to the city of Chaska Fire Depar tment for the use of their large grill. And lastly, thanks to the Chaska Park and Recreation staff for the loading, hauling, scooping, serving, and cleaning you so willingly do. You are the best! Looking forward to next year!

deficit. If they did they would not have passed the Bush tax cuts. This country was on the way to paying down the debt. Do you understand what that means? That would have meant that eventually the United States of America could have been debt free. No deficit. But no, the Republican Party wants to give their rich and the corporate friends more money. And they say that it will create jobs. That my friend is a bald-faced lie. They have not been paying their fair share for years and they have not created jobs. They have kept their money in their own pockets. The only real way to make this economy better is to make a stronger middle class. If the middle class has money they spend it. The Republicans have said that they don’t want to create class warfare. Well I am here to tell you that it is here and they are the ones that created it.

Major role is monitoring The Carver County Water Management Organization (CCWMO) has many responsibilities, but a major role is monitoring. The CCWMO is responsible for monitoring the health of lakes and rivers within its boundaries. Each year from March to November our water technicians are out on the lakes and rivers collecting water samples and doing tests. They analyze water samples for nutrients including phosphorus and nitrogen, pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll-a (algae), sediment and fecal coliform bacteria. Fecal coliform are bacteria found in the small intestines of warm blooded animals and are tested as a general indicator of pathogens that can cause illness. A common example would be E. coli. Each of these parameters is important in determining if waters are healthy, have become impaired or polluted, and what might be causing the pollution. In addition, the data collected can help determine

By not having a fair and balanced approach to help get out of this huge mess that President Bush and the Republican Party had a huge hand in, they want to give more money to the people that don’t need it. And they are doing it on the backs of the people that can least afford it. Even their idol, President Reagan, said that you also need to raise income and he increased taxes. If you don’t believe me, look it up yourself. I for one want the government to let all of the Bush tax cuts expire. I am willing to pay that extra $800 a year so that my kids won’t have to face what I and the rest of the middle class have had to go through. I find it extremely ironic that the fi rst Republican president fought to keep this country whole and the current Republican Party with the Tea Party faction want to tear it apart. Just look how far the Republican Party has come. From a humble man from Illinois who wanted to help all people, to a party that wants to help no one but themselves and their rich friends. Very sad indeed.

Many people think that I am a Democrat, but I am a registered Independent and not a member of any political party. This goes beyond political differences and is a matter of respect and civility. Julianne could take a course on this from Joe Hoppe. Hopefully constituents from District 34B will fare better in the future
Phil Simard Chaska Editor’s note: The newspaper invited Sen. Ortman to share her perspective regarding the meeting with the Joint Religious Legislative Coalition. Her response follows.
Ortman offers meeting perspective Four or five months ago I met with Mr. Simard from the Joint Religious Legislative Council and his colleagues for mor e t h a n 3 0 m i nute s at h i s r e que st ; we v i sit e d for a few minutes about our families and mutual friends in the community. W hen I respectfully disagreed with their legislative agenda, they arg ued with me that I had a relig ious obligation a nd moral duty to raise taxes and increase spending. I explained that my goal was to encourage growth in the economy, and to create an economically competitive tax climate to foster job growth. I also explained that I believe our communities, churches and state are doing a very good job of looking after the needs of the vulnerable. He was dissatisfi ed with my respectful answers. I explained the process, explained that we had already prepared our Tax Committee omnibus bill and that my colleagues and I were not likely to reverse course. I told them that I would not change my mind, but invited them to attend Tax Committee hearings and to testify before the committee. They never did so.
the County. Stop by our booth in the County building and test water from lakes and rivers near you to see what’s in it! In addition to surface waters, staff also monitors storm water treatment practices. Storm water is the No. 1 cause of water pollution in the United States according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Storm water runoff occurs when rain falls on impervious surfaces such as pavement, sidewalks, roof, etc. where it cannot sink into the ground, so it runs off the surface. This runoff picks up many pollutants (such as sediment, nutrients and bacteria) on these surfaces before flowing into storm drains. These storm drains send the polluted runoff straight to streams, lakes or wetlands, unless there is a storm water best management practice (BMP) in place to treat the runoff. Examples of BMPs include rain gardens and filtration basins, which capture storm water runoff in a shallow basin where fast-draining
soils allow quick infiltration and removal of pollutants as water passes through. Plants absorb nutrients (phosphorus) that could cause algae blooms in the lake. Two of the pollutants rain gardens and other storm water practices are designed to remove from runoff are phosphorus and sediment. Too much phosphorus in lakes and rivers cause algae blooms and too much sediment hurts fish and other aquatic species populations and the overall health of the lake or river. Staff has determined through monitoring that BMPs placed around Carver County are effective at removing both sediment and phosphorus from storm water runoff and the CCWMO will continue to install BMPs throughout the county to reduce the impact of storm water runoff.

I also commend Rep. Joe Hoppe for his patience.
funding formula to pay for short-term borrowing needs. The second element in the final negotiations to end the state shutdown was the tobacco bonds. The state of Minnesota has a future revenue stream from the tobacco settlement. The tobacco bonds essentially sell a portion of these future funds. Sharon MacDonald and Minnesota’s Left could learn much from Texas and other healthy, (no income tax) states that are not controlled by public sector unions. While Minnesota’s DFL politicians and teachers and others working in the public sector have sent huge amounts of taxpayer dollars to each other and bled our private sector to the breaking point, healthy states living within their means and not controlled by unions that fund Democrats present great working models of fiscally responsible government. I applaud the rest raints placed on state government spending by representatives Leidiger and Hoppe, and Sen. Ortman.
Julianne Ortman State Senator Chanhassen
When will left get it right? When will Minnesota’s left get it right? Someone needs to tell Sharon MacDonald (“Legislative grades were inflated,” Aug. 4) that an unengaged Gov. Mark Dayton implemented an “all or none” strategy while budget negotiations were in progress . He wanted to continue the extreme overspending rejected last fall by Minnesota voters, demanding 15 percent increase in state spending. Because Republicans in the Legislature resisted this huge increase in these very tough times, Dayton – not the Republicans – decided to shut down all but essential services, in hopes that news organizations would give him cover. Of significant importance, the 2012-13 state budget did not include any new taxes, fees, or job-killing tax rate increases. Additionally, the budget kept general fund spending to projected revenues of $34 billion, reduced future spending increases by $2.5 billion, and instituted significant structural reforms, particularly in K-12 education and health and human services, to put Minnesota on a sustainable fiscal path. (Stop the spending increases please.) Regarding the 60/40 K-12 education shi ft. Education shifts have been used in difficult economic times over the last 20 years. With an education shift, the school districts receive 100 percent of their funding, however, it is over a two-year period. For example, when the shift was 70/30 in 2011, the school districts received 70 percent of their funding currently and the remaining 30 percent a few months later in the next fiscal year. Cash flow is the biggest problem in delaying a portion of the school district’s full payment. Therefore, the Legislature’s education fi nance bill included an increase in the per pupil

Voters wanted fiscal conservative Your editorial in the July 28 edition contained some nonsensical attacks on State Rep. Ernie Leidiger. You attacked Rep. Ernie Leidiger for voting against a bonding bill that in the next sentence you described as terrible. Shouldn’t you laud the actions of Ernie for not being a consort of the terrible rather than assailing him? Similarly, you find fault with Ernie for not adhering to what you claim to be a Carver County GOP tradition of playing ball with the DFL. While I question the validity and merits of this concept on its face, if Ernie’s constituents wanted someone who would play ball with the DFL, wouldn’t they simply have voted for a Democrat in the fi rst place? Since they elected Ernie, the logical conclusion is that they wanted the fi scal conservative that is State Rep. Ernie Leidiger.

Problem is with both revenue and spending Last month Minnesota was in the middle of a shutdown of state government, while this month we just missed a federal government default. Of course we all know that this is the fault of our elected leaders. That is a nice fantasy, but the reality is that much of the blame falls on us, because we elected these leaders, or even worse, did not vote. A large part of the problem is that most of us do not really have the facts, and depend on political rhetoric for much of our information. We have all heard about the current fiscal problems at the state and federal levels, and how they are both due to spending. The reality is that much of the federal debt problems today can be attributed to the tax cuts during the Reagan and George W. Bush administrations. The fiscal shortfalls for the state are, to large extent, due to the tax cuts during the Ventura administration. So despite the claims that the problems are simply a spending problem, the reality is the problem is both a revenue and spending issue.
Jim
WEYGAND GUEST COMMENTARY
We can look at the national debt, in particular the debt as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). At the end of the World War II the national debt was equal to 125 percent of the GDP. Over the next 35 years, the debt to GDP ratio was reduced to around 30 percent. Every president during that period – Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Carter – brought the debt down with respect to GDP. In the next 12 years, during the Reagan and the senior Bush terms, the debt rose to about 65 percent of the GDP, or about double where it had
been. This was primarily due to tax cuts, especially for the wealthy, during the Reagan years. The two Clinton terms saw the debt ratio drop again to about 55 percent, but it again increased to 75 percent in Bush’s two terms as a result of more tax cuts, two wars, and a major recession. Unfortunately I have data only up to the end of February 2009 so there is little info on Obama, but we see a continuation of the sharp increase in the debt that began at the end of Bush era. This is a continuation of the impact of the recession that began during the Bush term, and the Bush tax cuts. What does this debt ratio percent mean in dollars? The group zFacts.com estimates the Reagan/Bush tax cuts resulted in $5.3 trillion added to the national debt. If interest on that debt is included, then the impact is over $8 trillion. Today our national debt stands at just over $14 trillion, so depending which numbers you want to use, 40 to 60 percent of our current debt is due to the Reagan/Bush tax cuts.
Despite the opinion of many that the current debt is due to the out-of-control spending of the Obama administration, the reality is a major portion, if not the majority, is the result of tax cuts during the Reagan and George W. terms.
MINNESOTA BUDGET Before the discussing the state’s finances we should clarify the impact of a recession on the federal and state’s finances. Recessions generally have two impacts. First, revenues are reduced because of high unemployment, reduced corporate earnings and reduced sale’s tax revenues. In addition, spending will usually increase first because there are increased needs in the social safety net, and secondly because the economy depends on federal and state spending to jumpstart the economy. I know many believe that private businesses will pull us out of the recession, but in our hearts we know the majority of private businesses are sitting on the sideline
“The solution to our country’s and state’s fiscal problems are not just tax increases or spending cuts, but a combination of both.” Jim Weygand until they see strong and steady economic growth. It is important to understand the impact of recessions on government finances as we discuss Minnesota’s fiscal situation. In the early 1990s, the country was in a recession and Minnesota was struggling with its budget. Gov. Carlson and the legislature tightened the belt and also increased taxes. The nation’s economy turned around and Minnesota’s economy was one of the strongest in the country by 1998, the end of Carlson’s terms. Minnesota at this point was running budget surpluses rather than deficits and we had built up a rainy day fund for the future. In 2000 and 2001 the state government enacted a series
of tax cuts to reduce the surpluses, and the rainy day fund was returned to taxpayers with a tax rebate. The tax cut was needed; unfortunately the state went overboard. If we never had another recession, the state would have been fine. Unfortunately every economic downturn now puts the state deeper in the hole with no rainy day fund to help us out. Besides the state’s fiscal problems since these tax cuts, Minnesota has slipped in many areas, including education and per capita income. The solution to our country’s and state’s fiscal problems are not just tax increases or spending cuts, but a combination of both. Jim Weygand is a former Carver mayor.
Please, wait a minute mister postman I love the History Channel. I love it almost as much as I do the Food Network. But the other day, I was watching a show that chronicled the lives of U.S. troops serving in Europe during World War II. It was a poignant storytelling with voice-overs from wellknown actors reading their own words as told in journals and letters back home. Many of these letters were written to sweethearts and family back in the states who wondered if they would ever see their loved ones again. Some never did. For many, those letters got put away into an old shoe or cigar box. Then that box may have been moved into an old trunk, and eventually stored away in an attic over time. A lifetime goes by, where those letters and that old trunk gather dust. But one day, a curious niece, nephew or grandchild, discovers across the old trunk. Covered with a layer of dust and cobwebs, they open it, eyes curiously gazing upon the contents, sunlight dancing across those time-worn letters

HUANG COMMUNITY COLUMNIST
for the first time in a halfcentury. That got me thinking. In today’s digital age, what relics of letters would we have from the past? Would servicemen and women have such personal momentous and messages to send to their loved ones? I’m sure that our men and women in uniform care just as deeply for their families as those did back in the 1940s and before. But there’s a certain personal, romantic mystique to the art of the letter. For that piece of paper was there with the author at that
particular moment in time. In was held their hands, while they thought of the right words. The writing instrument grasped and used by the author in the battlefield to meticulously inscribe a personal message. Their sweat, blood, and tears, possibly shed on that piece of parchment, the words from their heart. Not knowing exactly when the message would arrive, those letters may have been written stateside or in a bivouac. It could take weeks or even months for a message to make it to their loved one, if it didn’t get lost across those war torn battlefields and ravaged hamlets. In today’s world, in addition to the letter, we also have the instant gratification of e-mail, where the closest touch are fingers typing skillfully away at the keyboard. Words from the heart are still as personal as ever. Their meaning is just as significant. And now, there’s phone and even video calls to help keep everyone connected. From the perspective
of tomorrow’s historians, what will they find of our love letters? Will they find an archive of e-mails or recordings of video conference calls? Or will it be a digital collection of one-line text messages like “U r gr8. LUV U 4EVR!” stored on a DVD or CDROM? Old Facebook posts? Or perhaps it will just be a laserprinted copy of the message? But there is something about having those words written in that person’s own handwriting – that purpose of message – that’s seemingly lost. Today, we’re already seeing schools move toward digital learning. Cursive writing is being phased out in many communities since it is “archaic and unnecessary,” as “everyone prints anyway.” (Although some studies contend that human cognition is and learning retention is significantly improved through repetitive writing exercises rather than just typing the same exercises at a computer keyboard.) And typing at the keyboard has become the norm. A flurry of articles have
hit the news recently where various schools from coastto-coast are issuing laptops, or even iPads to their students as a substitute for books and binders. Sure it is environmentally friendly, but is it really better for our children? And what of history itself ? Will our own modern history be relegated to dust as the archival mechanisms for bits themselves decay? After all, there are well documented tales of letters surviving fires, floods, and being buried in mountains. Most of today’s digital media aren’t nearly as resilient. Drop your iPhone in the toilet and you’re sunk. What if technology had advanced sufficiently such that Pheidippides sent an e-mail rather than running to relay a message from Athens to Sparta? What if the Bible was originally written digitally? Would the Dead Sea Scrolls have survived if they were on today’s digital media? Would we still have old exemplifications of the Magna Carta if it were on an ancient hard drive? How about the Constitution? Would it have the
same historical significance because those author’s hands may or may not have physically touched those documents? They don’t make sure documents like they used to. There’s a good reason why important documents like contracts and laws are still printed on paper – and signed by hand. I have to admit, I’m just as guilty as the next person for being hip with technology. I’m composing this article in Google Docs on my PC. But I’m sure Mark (the editor) wouldn’t appreciate it if I hand wrote it and mailed this article to him via the U.S. Postal Service. Times have changed, but I’m hoping that there are some out there who will continue to embrace some of the “old ways.” Even if not for history’s sake, for the fact that there’s a romanticism to it all. And even with the best of technologies, we should never lose our spirit or sense of romance. Mike Huang is a Chaska resident. He can be reached at huangmike@comcast.net.

FICTION
Fourth-graders’ ‘Weird Day’ continues Editor’s Note: This is the conclusion of last week’s tale, “What a Weird Day,” written by six Clover Ridge Elementary fourth-grade students, under the tutelage of the Herald’s education correspondent Chuck Friedbauer.
PHOTOS BY CHUCK FRIEDBAUER
In her story, Allie Grossklaus is the character Allie, who is a terrific dancer.
LEVEL IV THE DANCE-OFF BY ALLIE GROSSKLAUS
“Hey Allie, wake up!” said Biggy. “Where did you guys come from,” asked Allie. “We all have had to win our individual levels to get a piece of Indy’s controller,” said Fruity. “It looks like you have to dance better than Lady Gaga!” Allie stood up and rubbed the weariness from her eyes. “Uh, what?” she asked, totally terrified. A llie looked around and saw she was standing in a dance studio. Out from a closet stepped Lady Gaga! The music started and all four kids plus Lady Gaga began to dance. It started OK, but then Allie fell down. Just when she thought she would lose, Johnny and Biggy started doing the Sprinkler. They sure looked weird. Fruity was in dance classes so she stayed with Allie with the right moves. At the end of the dance, the judges ruled Allie defeated Lady Gaga! Some people think Lady Gaga can’t dance but Allie thought she was awesome. “You proved yourself worthy,” said Lady Gaga. “Take this controller piece and go to the next level.” Just like before, everything turned fuzzy as they flew threw
the air to...
LEVEL V MARIO WORLD BY NEEL DESAI
“W here a re we ? ” aske d Johnny. “I don’t know, but this world is so cool,” said Indy to his friends who had just popped out of nowhere. They all started to explore the area for clues. Indy discovered a small mushroom. As he touched it, all the friends turned into SuperMario characters! Indy was Mario, Johnny became Luigi and the three girls turn into toadalletes, which are basically girl toads. They were all quite astonished. I ndy saw a volc a no a nd chooses out of curiosity to lead all the friends there. But when they got to it, Indy was alone! Suddenly, he can hear the friends calling for his help. Inside the volcano, Indy fi nds them in a prison cell with Bowser asleep in front of it. Indy quietly takes the key from his belt and rescues his friends. As they run away, Johnny stumbles on a rock. Bowser wakes up from the noise and is so furious he spits fi re at them. Johnny deflects it with a shield spell. The rest of the friends pound on the ground with their feet so hard that the ground opens up, swallowing Bowser in a sea of lava. Another video game controller falls out of thin air into Indy’s hand. As they all grab hold of it, they’re transported to the next level.
LEVEL VI BOWS AND ARROWS
In his story, Gabe Friedbauer is Doody, who loves Greek mythology. A bright figure moved into the arena. “I am Apollo and I challenge the hero who bested Ares to an archery contest!” “That’s me,” said Doody, as he jumped back into the arena. “Bring it on!” A table appeared in the middle of the arena, with two bows and six arrows on it. Two targets had appeared at the far end of the arena. Little did Doody know that Apollo made straps appear to bind his friends to their seats. Both archers scored a nine on the fi rst two attempts. Apollo’s final attempt was also a nine. But Doody’s fi nal arrow flew directly into the bullseye for a score of ten and victory! “You have proved your worthiness,” said Apollo. “Take this controller piece and your friends as you finish your quest.” “Ready for the fi nal stage?” Doody asked the others. “Yes!” they all cheered, as once again, everything went fuzzy.
CONCLUSION BEATING BIEBER
BY GABE FRIEDBAUER
Doody was sword to sword with the Greek god Ares when he noticed all five of his friends appear in the stands of the arena. Doody made Ares teleport to somewhere else and then jumped into the arena stands where his friends were staring at him in amazement. “Where did you guys come from?” asked Doody. “We came form Indy’s Mario World, and before that, well, never mind,” said Allie. “Who were you fighting?” “Ares, but I sense that is the least of our problems,” said Doody. “Everyone turn your eyes.”

This time, the fuzziness lasted a long time. While in their hazy world, Johnny had a thought. “All six of us have completed our own level, but didn’t see the boss, which every good video game has,” he said. “So where is he or she?” “There probably isn’t one,” said Allie. Just then, everything became clear. We were standing back in our favorite park. Or so we thought. “If we’re back to the park,
why do we still have our video game clothes on?” asked Indy. They looked at each other and realized Doody had on Greek armor, Johnny wore his wizard robes, Indy was sporting a Mario hat, Allie was in her dance clothes, while Biggy and Fruity had on their sports uniforms. “I think we’re still in the video game,” said Johnny. “What is that awful sound?” asked Doody. They all began to hear a high, shrilly voice singing a song. Suddenly, a familiar face jumped out from the bushes. It was Park Ranger Bieber and he was the one singing! “I am Justin Bieber! ” he screamed. “No you’re not,” said Biggy. But as they looked closer, they all realized he really was Justin Bieber. Amazingly, he grew to 50 times his normal height! “I am Justin Bieber and I will defeat you for hitting me with that soccer ball!” The kids scattered around the park, trying to decide what they could do to defeat the giant Bieber. With no better options, Johnny conjured up a fluffy stuffed bunny and shot it at Bieber. When it hit him, he actually shrank a little. “Guys!” yelled Johnny. “His weakness is fluffi ness. I’ll use my wizard powers to turn all your strengths into fluffi ness and we can beat him.” The kids threw fluffy bunnies, fluffy arrows, fluffy soccer and basketballs at him. Out of sheer luck, a vendor with a cart of fluffy stuffed animals passed by in the park. “Get your free stuffed animals,” she yelled. They threw them at Bieber and he shrunk smaller and smaller until he simply vanished completely! In his place was the last video game controller piece. Indy picked it up and put it with the others. A bright light shone and a portal appeared. They stepped in and ... ZAP! They landed back in the park, just as they had left it, like time had frozen still. But there was no sign of the tornado. The friends had a banquet and danced to celebrate their weird day. Everything was normal again, or so they thought...

“It’s the Disneyland of home improvement,” said general manager Jim Deck. The Eden Prairie Menards features two levels of shopping joined by escalators, which is more of a moving sidewalk that goes from one floor to the other. Between those two escalators? A piano. During the week, the piano is on auto-play, but on weekends, Menards customers can hear recent high school graduates Davis Fischer and Jonathan Kim and recent college graduate April Kim tickling the ivories. According to Deck, having a piano player in the store has brought in more customers. They even had one guest call in and ask if they had escalators and a piano player to settle a bet. He attributed this to the fact that having a piano player is unique to the business and gives it a department store feel. According to Deck, the three students play varied styles, ranging from Elton John to Usher to Kiss. “Something [customers] can tap their feet to as they walk around,” said Deck. Jonathan J. Kim started working for Menards as the piano player in April. He has been playing the piano for 10 years and decided to play for Menards after his choir director recommended it. “I was like, why not?” he said. “I don’t have a favorite [style] but I like to play something that’s loud and exciting,” Jonathan said. He plays his pre-prepared music during his shift on Saturdays and Sundays. This is Jonathan’s first piano job. “I just consider it another opportunity to play for people, if they listen,” Jonathan said. After he goes to college, he wants to continue playing on
Davis Fischer plays piano at Menards. Saturdays at Menards. Davis Fischer starting playing piano at Menards in June. He said he chose to work at Menards because it was close to his house. If he could not get a job there, he was going to look at VonMaur and other stores with pianos. Fischer has been playing the piano for 12 years. Fischer said since he has played in settings with lots of people before, such as weddings and at church, he decided it would be easy to adjust to a store. According to Fischer, the three piano players choose their own music to play “with helpful suggestions from Jim, our manager.” He prefers to play improv jazz. “If a song is suggested and I have it, I’ll play it. Otherwise, I’ll write it down and try to fi nd it later,” Fischer said. “It’s an adjustment for me from what I usually do but it’s a lot of fun,” Fischer said. F i scher pl a n s to at tend North Dakota State University in the fall and major in electrical engineering. Apri l K i m g raduated i n spring 2011 from St. Olaf as a piano performance major. She will be attending Cleveland Institute in the fall to major in solo piano performance. April has been playing piano for 18 years. According to April, she wanted to get a job before grad school and her brother was working at Menards so
April said she would love to play if there was an opening. “That’s what I want to do in my career, obviously,” April said. Her brother Jonathan talked to Deck and she has been playing for a little over a month. She will continue playing through the summer until she goes to grad school in the fall. April likes to play classical music. “I played Mozart once,” she said. She also plays Korean pop, what she described as cheesy background music. “I tend to play the calm lyrical styles,” April said. She has held collaborative jobs at St. Olaf, which is a more formal term for being an accompanist. April has also played for juries, weddings, recitals and other accompanying opportunities. She also had the opportunity to play at the Summer Music Camp at St. Olaf and Magnum Chorum’s auditions this summer. While at St. Olaf, she went on two solo piano tours. Her sophomore year, she and nine other students went to Texas for a solo tour, and this year she and 10 other students had the opportunity to go to Seattle for a solo tour. According to Deck, the Eden Prairie Menards has had a piano player since it opened in February. The piano players can be heard from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday-Sunday weekends and holidays at the Eden Prairie Menards, 12600 Plaza Drive, Eden Prairie.

Mumfie is an 8-month-old orange and white tabby who is friendly, outgoing, playful, and affectionate! He wants to be in the middle of the action and is usually too busy to be held a lot, but loves to find your lap when he’s ready to rest. He is fine with non-aggressive dogs. Before being surrendered, Mumfie and his buddy lived in a car after their family lost their home and were unable to live with relatives because of severe allergies. Mumfie has had a complete wellness exam, has been neutered, microchipped, tested negative for Feline Leukemia/FIV, and is updated on vaccinations. His adoption fee is $150. Won’t you please help him?

Senators to attend fiber network kick-off Both of Minnesota’s U.S. senators plan to attend the Aug. 16 kick-off ceremony for Carver County’s new fiber network. The optic ring, over 122 miles long, will connect 86 entities at 56 sites throughout Carver County, including city, county and township governments, schools, fire departments, public safety towers and law enforcement agencies. U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken are among the planned speakers at the 2:30 p.m. Carver County Open Fiber Initiative event, held at the Carver County Public Works building, 11360 Highway 212 in Cologne. Fiber optic construction equipment will be displayed, and workers will give demonstrations on how fiber optic cable is spliced together in the field. The CCOFI project had been awarded federal funding of $ 5,995,600, which covers 80 percent of the project cost, with the county responsible for a 20 percent match of $1,498,900 of the overall project budget of $7,494,500. According to the county, the payback for this project will be approximately five years, because the county currently pays about $300,000 per year for the use of copper T-1 communication lines.

on Sunday, Aug. 28. The pizza ingredients, except for the liver, are being kept secret. The Liver Pizza eating event is scheduled to take place at 7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 1 at the Chanhassen American Legion. If 100 or more sign up then these two commanders get to eat a ‘wicked’ dessert as well, according to an American Legion press release. The chef won’t divulge ingredients, but simply says it won’t be poisonous. In an effort to help produce blocks of marchers with American flags on Hennepin Avenue, Schlangen and Hanson have challenged their membership and members of other American Legions to join them on
the free bus ride that will take them to the parade and back to the post again. Marching in the parade is free, and members are asked to simply wear their Legion hat or cap or as red, white and blue clothes they have, and bring a flag. Signup sheets are available at both clubs and can be accessed by asking a manager, waitress or bartender. Bus departure time from each Legion will be posted at each club. Sign up is requested before Aug. 21. Legion, Auxiliary and Sons of the American Legion members are all eligible. If you’re not a member but are interested in joining, ask for a membership application at either club.

Conductor buys local artist’s violin BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Minnesota Orchestra conductor Osmo Vänskä purchased Bailey Cahlander’s violin.
“There, no one looks directly at you. They look down at the ground. Minnesota Nice is not their style.” Bailey Cahlander Bailey Cahlander
“I can’t wait to go back and work there,” Cahlander said of her time in Italy. “I loved it so much. My art classes were wonderful. I did so much more travel than I thought I would. I traveled to Paris, to Switzerland. It’s like a second home to me now.” “I would walk around the city, then go to a central market where they sold fresh produce and food. It was too expensive to eat out all the time, so I taught myself to make things like quiche. “I walked and walked all over, I explored all the churches I could find, and went to as many museums and galleries as possible. I made a few mosaic pieces. Because they were heavy, I only brought one back with me. “I’m a watercolor painter but I never took a class. So it was nice to get instruction and we painted from life a lot. One day I sat on the stoop of the Medici chapel and painted the cupola.” Q: One of your favorite foods in Italy?
A: Being able buy delicious mozzarella cheese for 80 cents a pound; to buy really good Italian wine. I was not a red wine fan before, but I grew to like it there. Wine tasting was in our program [in Florence]. Q: Name the most surprising result of your trip. A: That I would be so infatuated with the Italian culture and language. Life is much slower there. I’ve always been such a time-conscious person. If I’m supposed to be somewhere at 6 p.m., I’ll be there at 5:45 p.m. I’m a very time conscious person, so I had to learn to be less stressed. Q : How did Minnesota Nice work in Italy? A: Not so much. Here, when you pass people on the street you smile at them, even people you don’t know. There, no one looks directly at you. They look down at the ground. Minnesota Nice is not their style. Their thing is the big family Italian dinner. It’s a big deal where the entire family gathers for a meal.

“Where words fail, music speaks.” Who better than a musician to understand this sentiment? This epigram was included on a mosaic violin that was auctioned at the Minnesota Orchestra’s Symphony Ball in June. The embellished violin was one of five in the auction, which is a fundraiser for the orchestra. The mosaic violin was purchased by Osmo Vänskä, the music director of the Minnesota Orchestra, whose winning bid was $1,000. Vänskä, a critically acclaimed and internationally renowned conductor, joined the Minnesota Orchestra in 2003. Since that time, he has been named conductor of the year by Musical America, led several critically lauded European tours, and conducted the orchestra’s performance that received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Orchestra Recording. W hen t he mosaic a r tist learned who bought the violin, she couldn’t have been more thrilled. She is Bailey Cahlander, a Luther College student from Chanhassen. Cahlander recently returned from a college semester studying art in Florence, Italy. Cahlander was one of five artists commissioned by the Minnesota Orchestra last December to create art based on a violin provided by WAMSOMinnesota Orchestra Volunteer Association, the primary fund-raising organization for the orchestra. Cahlander, the daughter of Karla Cahlander of Chanhassen, is a 2008 graduate of Chaska High School. She is majoring in art at Luther College. “I’m honored by the experience” said Cahlander, “and by the opportunity to display my work in a professional setting.” Earlier this week, the newspaper caught up with Cahlander, who is currently working on a large mosaic piece with two other artists. She’s hoping it will be fi nished in time for ArtStock this Saturday at the Deardorff Orchards and Parley Lake Winery in Laketown Township. She’ll have a booth there, selling her art work.

Rather than tear down this more than 100-year-old frame home, Charles Stinson and his sons remodeled this home on West 77th Street with the same size footprint, using “green� technology for its heating and cooling and in its design.
Once in a blue moon House showcases livable ‘green’ design BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com
K i d s s ay t h e d a r n d e s t things. Several years ago, when Josh Stinson asked a neighborhood kid about the remodeled home on West 77th Street, the kid took a moment, eyeballed the house and told Stinson, “It looks like a Smurf threw up all over it.� Stinson didn’t take offense. He laughed instead. Of course, he would. This is someone who lists as one his favorite books of all time, “The Big Orange Splot,� by Daniel Manus Pinkwater. The quirky children’s book is about a man who wakes up one day to find a big orange splot of paint on his house. He can’t seem to get rid of the splot, which sets off a chain of events in his neighborhood. “I used to give it to people to read,� Stinson said. “It’s about someone who said, I want to make my house like my dream, and then goes ahead and does it.� The story of the Blue House began when the Stinsons purchased it in 2005. Charles Stinson is a wellknown Twin Cities-based architect, known for sleek, contemporary homes. His development on Lotus Lake showcases his design esthetics. W hen Stinson purchased the former Schutrop home, he intended to tear it down. But after reviewing the home with his two sons, they decided to renovate instead. And since Josh was in the market for a home, he planned the home for himself. “Josh said the house had good bones,� Charles Stinson said. “He said, ‘Let’s make it a research project, and redo it in the same footprint.’� Stinson’s other son, Jason, is a builder. He’s interested in “green� design, and saw the potential to remodel the home with sustainable materials, from the lumber to solar energy panels on the roof. They ripped out the interior and re-imagined the house and it became a three-year project. Remodeling was slow and thoughtful. Jason did a lot of
research to fi nd materials that were manufactured in Minnesota or could be sourced from Minnesota desig ners. Josh provided input on the type of f looring he wanted, narrow planks like vintage homes had, and an open floor plan. “Our goal was to make a home that was greener and more affordable than the ones I typically do,� Charles said. What challenged Stinson was that for the fi rst time, he would have to design within some strict parameters. “Usually I work with an empty slate,� Stinson said. “But we wanted to keep the same footprint and preserve the original structure as much as we could.� It became more than a remodeling project. It became a family project, where father and sons got together on a regular basis, morning coffees in hand to go over the plans and the remodeling. When it came time to paint the home and design the interior Josh had only one directive — “paint the house blue and make it happy and cheerful.� Why that particular blue? “It reminded me of the colors in Greece and Scandinavia,� Josh said. “It seemed happy.� Ruth Johnson, an interior designer who has worked on many Charles Stinson projects, chose bright apple green and blue tones for the accents throughout the white interior. “I told her, I want this house to be a celebration of life,� Josh said. “I want it to feel warm and inviting, a house you don’t want to leave. Ruth ran with it.� But once the home was fi nished, Josh’s plans changed and he had an opportunity to move to Seattle. “I never did end up living there,� Josh said by phone recently. “But I have a home here and I painted it the same blue. They are a little more adventuresome with color here [Seattle]. It’s still a big bright blue house but it doesn’t stick out as much as it does there. “It took the [Chanhassen] neighbors a while to get used to it,� Josh said. “The initial feed-

History The Blue House has some historic significance. The home was built sometime in the mid1800s. In the 1890s, the home was used by St. Hubert’s Church as housing for the nuns who taught at St. Hubert’s School, said Rosemary Pauly Mingo. Pauly Mingo’s great aunt bought the home in the 1930s, and in the 1950s, it was purchased by Ivo and Blanche Schutrop. Later, their son lived in the house. When the house went on the market six years ago, Deephavenbased architect Charles Stinson and his sons Josh and Jason remodeled the home with environmentally friendly and sustainable building concepts and materials, including vegetable/mineral based varnishes, recycled crushed glass and organic renewable materials. The home’s exterior is a low maintenance stucco with metal windows and roof; previous occupants paid an average of $145 a month for water, gas, and electric. Its two-car garage has frosted glass doors and a small loft.

back from neighbors was mixed. ‘Wow. That’s bright.’ It had been a light brown with dark brown so I think it was a shock to some of the neighbors.� After being a rental for three years, the house is once again on the market. “It’s not for people who like traditional homes,� Josh said. “It will appeal to people who appreciate sculptural components and design details,� Josh said. “Someone who appreciates the efficiency of a small home — high energy efficiency — heating and cooling in a small package.�

Student project is app-etizing Business school class competes in Minnesota Cup
The app keeps track of kitchen inventory and product shelf life. “Everyone can use it,� said Gamache. “It’s very universal.�
BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com
Gamache’s group is competing in the student division with eight other semi-fi nalists for a chance at $10,000 in seed capital (non-student groups can win $25,000.) Each division will be whittled down to the top three finalists next week. Division winners will be announced on Sept. 8 with one grand prize winner receiving an additional $25,000 for their idea. Could KIT be that breakthrough idea the judges are looking for? “It’s something I would use,� said Gamache, of their app. “I know I put everything in my smart phone.� Entries are judged based on the strength of the idea and the business plan with the greatest innovation being highly valued. Implementation is another area judges must consider. According to the Minnesota Cup website, judges are looking for ideas that can generate a positive economic impact within two years. And fi nally, entries are judged based on the quality of the presentation. Scatja is currently in Round Two of the competition and are fi ne tuning their 20-page business plan. If they make it to the fi nals, they’ll be asked to give a 10-minute oral presentation to the review board.
COMPETITION
In the state’s search for great ideas, a group of students from the Minnesota School of Business in Shakopee believe they might be on the right track. Alissa Gamache, of Chaska, was one of six students in Richard Anderson’s entrepreneurship class. And now Gamache, along with her group Scatja, is one of 47 semi-finalists selected to compete in this year’s Minnesota Cup. The Minnesota Cup is an annual, statewide competition that seeks out aspiring entrepreneurs and their breakthrough ideas. “ I t f e e l s g r e a t ,� s a i d Gamache, when asked about her reaction to finding out they had been chosen among more than 1,000 entries. “I feel confident.� In class, Scatja (formed using the fi rst letter from each of the group member’s names) came up with an idea for a smart phone application used in the kitchen. That idea became the basis for their entry in the Minnesota Cup. The Kitchen Inventory Tracker (KIT) “helps consumers make better food-related decisions.� “It helps people manage and budget in their everyday life,� said Gamache. “So you’re not wasting food and money.�
CONCEPT TO REALITY While KIT is just a concept
at this point, Gamache is hopeful that it will one day be a real application. “Hopefully if it’s being created, it’s by us,� she said. Win or lose, Gamache said that participation in the Minnesota Cup has been a great opportunity for her class. Her teacher would agree. “This has been more than just a learning process for them,� said Anderson in a press release. “It has been a growing process. To have to act as a management committee and make decisions that would affect the business, resolve confl ict and maintain principals of an ethical business person was challenging at times, but incredibly rewarding to them. “I believe this project has better prepared them for their business future,� he continued. “I think it gave them a greater appreciation for the skills they have learned and the confidence that they could deal with any business issue and be successful.� Gamache graduated from the business school in June with her bachelor’s degree in accounting. She said she has learned a lot from her entrepreneurship class and the Minnesota Cup competition. “This really opened my eyes to the possibilities,� she said. “Everyday people, we have great ideas,� Gamache added. “No idea is too small.�

CUBS BASEBALL
Tougher win than expected BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com
Connor Stremke ba f f led Chaska hitters for nine innings Thursday and the Victoria pitcher was the same for his fi rst four innings of relief Friday. But his 200th pitch of the two-day stint saw Cubs’ Justin Johnson hit a long fly ball to right field. Vic’s outfielder Adam Dittrich made a strong throw after bobbling the catch, but Chaska’s Greg Lane slid into home plate ahead of the tag as the Cubs won 3-2 in 12 innings Friday to clinch the best-of-five series. Chaska, the No. 1 seed in Region 3B, was pushed to the brink of elimination by the Vics, which was swept by the Cubs in the regular season. “We came into the playoffs with something like 14 wins in 15 games and we were hoping we didn’t peak at the right time. We almost felt a loss wouldn’t be the worst thing,” Cubs’ Ryan Seifert said. “Playoffs are a whole different ball game. Every team brings their best. Four seeds have beaten No. 1 seeds before and we knew that. Tip your hat to Victoria. Unfortunately someone had to go home, but we’re glad we’re still playing.” Stremke threw a complete game on Thursday, totaling 130 pitches in a 7-2 victory for the Vics. With the score knotted at two on Friday, the Victoria right-hander got the call in relief. He set down the fi rst 10 batters he faced. Chaska had a chance to win it in the 11th as Kyle Geason capped a 4-for-5 night with a oneout single. Cory Poppitz added a two-out single to put the winning run at second base. However, Stremke didn’t mess around, striking out Tyler Polster with a hard fastball to escape the jam. “He sort of shut us down. I

Chaska first baseman Josh Korth applies the tag to Victoria slugger Eric Winegarden for the third out of the first inning in Thursday’s game four contest. The next inning, Winegarden blasted a grand slam as the Vics won 7-2. thought we hit him hard, but it was going right at games,” said Lane on Stremke. Victoria’s best chance to take a lead came in the 12th as relief pitcher Pete Onshorg struggled early, walking his fi rst two batters faced. After a fly out advanced both runners up a base, an intentional walk loaded the bases. Onshorg got ahead of Clark Poppitz with a fastball and a breaking ball before getting the burly fi rst baseman to ground into a 4-6-3 double play to erase the threat in the 12th.
Lane started the bottom half of the inning with a single and moved to second base on Eric Oscarson’s bunt. Cory Glieden was walked and Tony Lane took four straight balls to load the bases. Johnson lofted a long fly ball that was bobbled and eventually caught, forcing Greg Lane to re-tag up. He did score, sending the Cubs into celebration mode. “I was tagging up and I saw it bounce off his glove. I didn’t know the rule that once it hits the glove you can go. But I went
back to re-tag up and that made it a close play,” Lane said. Seifert was outstanding on the hill for Chaska, throwing the fi rst 11 innings five days after pitching a complete game in Victoria. While he had only two 1-2-3 innings (the fi rst and ninth), he pitched out of all but one jam. “I had a decent amount of rest after pitching on Sunday, but I’m used to getting a few more days off. I had good stuff, but I didn’t want to go into the good bag until I needed too. I was lucky to get some double
plays and good defense to keep it close,” Seifert said. The Cubs ace struck out 11 batters with three walks in the no-decision. With Chaska leading 2- 0 – both runs accounted for by Geason – Seifert ran into some trouble in the fi fth. A walk and a double into the gap put runners at second and third with one out. The fi rst run came in on a wild pitch, while a sacrifice fly tied the game at two. Geason hit his second solo home run of the series in the fourth inning for the Cubs. He also had a double in the first inning and scored on Josh Korth’s bloop single to center field.
NOT THE SAME VICTORIA TEAM After outscoring Victoria 16 -3 du ring three reg u larseason contests, Chaska looked ready for an easy series win with an 11-0 game one victory. The Vics, though, had other plans, taking game two 4-3 and forcing a fi fth game with a 7-2
victory on Thursday. It was clear to everyone on the Chaska bench that the playoff Vics were a bit more dangerous than the regular season Vics. “They’re a good team,” said Ryan Sei fert. “They didn’t have all of their guys during the regular season. A couple guys had kids and a couple had injuries. They didn’t put their best nine out there until the playoffs. There weren’t too many easy outs in that lineup. And they had two pitchers step up and really carry them.” Chaska jumped out to a 1-0 lead in game four on a Geason single, plating Glieden from third base. But the lead was short-lived. One inning after the Cubs escaped a jam as Johnson picked off Victoria slugger Eric Winegarden at first base, the league’s top hitter accounted for his mistake. He took a 0-1 offering from relief pitcher Griff Kilber over the right-center fence for a grand slam and a 6-1 lead. Chaska never recovered, only scoring a solo run in the fi fth off Stremke on Tony Lane’s fielder’s choice. Andy Dauwalter, making his second start in a three-week span, lasted only 1 2/3 innings, giving up five runs with four walks.
CUBS GAIN HIGHER SEED With Shakopee’s 6-0 win over Jordan Friday to also clinch the series 3-2, Chaska hosted the Indians for a one-game seeding contest Sunday night. The Cubs trailed the entire game until the ninth inning when Chaska put together a three-run rally for the 6-5 win and clinched the top seed out of Region 3B. Shakopee had led 4-0 at one point in the game. Craig Gralapp earned the victory for the Cubs, who were randomly given the No. 3 seed for the Super Sectional round.
SUPER SECTIONAL WEEKEND
Down to the final 16 teams BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com
The Minnesota Amateur Baseball State Tournament brings together the best 16 teams in Class B each summer. And while some regions are tougher to advance through than others, any team playing in the fi nal three weekends of the season is a solid ball club. Looking at the four Super Sections – a new format for the fi rst weekend of the Class B State Tournament – host Chaska has a decent draw. Always tough Hastings is the first opponent, while the Moorhead Brewers and Coon Rapids make up the quad. The Brewers are the second team in two years to come out of Region 7B a year removed from a deep run in the Class C State Tournament. Chaska, along with Miesville, Dundas and Cold Spring, are the four hosts for the Super Sectionals this season. The locations were determined prior to the start of the season. A random draw was selected to place the teams within the four sections. The Chaska site received the champion from Region 8B (Coon Rapids) and runners-up from Region 7B ( Moorhead) and Region 1B (Hastings). The format is double elimination with the final two teams from each section advancing to the Class B State Tournament in Brownton and Glencoe Aug. 19-21.
TEAM CAPSULES Chaska, the champions of Region 3B, play Hastings at 6 p.m. Friday in the Super Sectional opener. The Hawks reached the state tournament by upsetting top-seeded Dundas 3-0 and then No. 2 seed Red Wing 6-1. Miesville clinched the top seed out of the region with an 8-6 victory over Hastings. The Hawks, which fi nished fi fth at state in 2010, possess

an ace in Mark Moriarty with Adam Barta and Deryk Marks also pitching big innings this season. Top hitters are Derrick Pfeffer, Steve Kraushaar and David Vogelgesang. The other semifi nal game, scheduled for 8:30 p.m., pits Moorhead and Coon Rapids against each other. Moorhead ended Cold Spring’s 23-year run at the state tournament with a 4-0 win Saturday. The 2010 Class C runners-up, the Brewers have an ace in left-hander Mike Peschel, who threw all nine innings (over two days due to a rain delay) in the stateclinching win. Top hitters are Peschel, Chris Clemenson, Dale Dingmann and Chris Coste – a former Major League Baseball catcher with the Philadelphia Phillies, who won a World Series title in 2008. Coon Rapids scored 39 runs in three wins to sweep the Region 8B tournament. The Red Birds topped East Bethel 11-2, St. Michael 14-9 and Blaine 14-2 in seven innings. Coon Rapids has a number of quality arms including Cody Beam, Taylor Nelson, Adam Wedwick and Kyle O’Shea, who was a red-shirt freshman for the University of Minnesota
this spring. The Red Birds have a number of current or former Division II players. Games resume at noon, 3 and 6 p.m. on Saturday with the championship on Sunday.
RANKING THE SUPER SECTIONALS There are no slouches when the fi nal 16 teams in state are squaring off, but looking at the Super Sectional brackets, one stands out as tougher than the others. The Cold Spring quad of region champions Sauk Rapids and Savage, along with two-time defending champion Shakopee and Blaine are also in the mix. Savage is 31-3 on the season with one of those losses coming against Chaska last month. Sauk Rapids may be the most complete team in Class B and Shakopee knows how to win late in the season and has big-game pitchers in Dane Secott and Chris Rupert. The next two brackets that stand out are the Chaska and Miesville quads. Miesville, the other Super Sectional host team in the tournament, has a nice draw with Bemidji. But state tournament mainstay Mankato and Class B up-andcoming Elko will make this quad tough.
The Twin Cities Junior Sweeps Regatta, hosted by the Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club on July 31, attracted some 200 high school rowers. Participating teams included the Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club, Minneapolis rowing Club, Minnesota Boat Club, Milwaukee Rowing Club and the Rockford (Illinois) YMCA Rowing Club.
Oars sweep through Bryant Lake BY DANIEL HUSS dhuss@swpub.com
On July 31, the Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club hosted the Twin Cities Junior Sweeps Regatta on Eden Prairie’s Bryant Lake. This begs a couple of questions. One, who and what is the Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club? Two, without shutting the lake down, how can you hold a regatta on Bryant Lake? The answer to the first question is simple, if you’re in the know. The Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club is rowing for high school students from the Minneapolis Metro area. At last count, the club included members from 20 different high schools. “We cover a large geographical area,” said Head Coach Tina Cho. “Basically, it’s Victoria to the west, Minneapolis to the north and east and Prior Lake/Savage to the south.” This summer, close to 90 kids participate. Year round, the number jumps to 120. That brings us to the second question. How can you hold a rowing regatta, featuring 200 rowers, on a busy metro lake?
“We’ve been practicing on Bryant Lake for three years,” said Cho, “and developed a lot of respect.” And? “On Sundays from noon to 6 p.m.,” adds Cho, “Bryant is no wake.”
HOME AT LAST Although the Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club considers Bryant Lake its home, it rarely holds races at Bryant Lake. “A home regatta is nice,” said Cho, “as it raises the awareness of rowing throughout the area. They are also a lot of fun.” In addition, home regattas allow family and friends the opportunity to see Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club members in action. “They (rowers’ families) don’t know what we do,” said Cho, “but they know we do it a lot.” Lastly, Cho would add that from a race-watching standpoint, Bryant is as good as it gets. “It’s a straight shot,” she said, “meaning you can see the start and the fi nish. At some races, all you see are the last four to five strokes and that’s
from a half mile away.”
FAIR IS FAIR The July 31st meet was one of the few high school-only events of the summer. “Usually, we’re competing in mixed races,” said Cho, “but because this was a high school-only event, we were able to have first boats compete against first boats, seconds against seconds and thirds against thirds, which made for some really tight races.” Aside from the host, participating teams included the Minneapolis Rowing Club, Minnesota Boat Club, Milwau kee Rowi ng Club a nd Rock ford ( I l linois) Y MCA Rowing Club. Races were held in junior varsity (18 and younger with one or more years of experience) and novice (fi rst year) classes and in eight-person, four-person and two-person boats. Without getting into specifics, first women’s junior varsity 8-plus for example, Cho characterized her team’s performances with a “pretty well.” To learn more about the Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club, go to tcyrc.org.

It’s time to tune in to crickets I love this time of year. Midsummer is a great time for a wide variety of reasons. The pressures of springtime mating are over for the birds and mammals. It is a time of abundance and relaxation for nature. But for me, this time of year is particularly interesting because of the insects at night. No, I am not talking about mosquitoes. I am talking about crickets and katydids. Summer nights are thick with midnight music. The male common field cricket is the responsible for most of the songs. Field crickets are members in the family of “true” crickets. They have large, broad bodies up to 1-inch long and have large strong hind legs for jumping great distances. They have very long antennae that are nearly as long as the body. Females have a long needlelike appendages extending from back of their abdomen called an ovipositor — for laying eggs into the soil. Males have large obvious wings that carry them around at night. Crickets are closely related to grasshoppers. There are more than 23,000 species of crickets and grasshoppers in the world. There are nearly 1,000 different kinds of grasshoppers and crickets in North America.

TEKIELA NATURE SMART
Male crickets don’t sing with their voice, they sing with their wings. They have two pair of wings (total of four). The front or upper wings are the cricket’s instrument. They play their wings like a violin. The larger hind wings are for flying. A row of tiny ridges, much like a woodworker’s file located on the underside of the front wings, are rubbed against a thickened region, called a scraper, along the edge of the opposing front wing. While both wings can either file or scrape, most male field crickets are what researchers call “right winged”— the right wing passes over the left, with the right file and left scraper producing the song. Left-hand male crickets are just the opposite. Unlike most birds and mam-
mals, the field cricket waits until late summer to mate. Male crickets sing to attract a mate. While the female is the silent partner, she has excellent hearing. After all, it is her hearing that will guide her to a prospective mate. She doesn’t have ears like you and me. Her ears are located on the knees of both front legs and are sensitive only to different sounds made by the males. Not all male crickets serenade their mates. Some will silently hide within the territory of another singing male cricket waiting for a female that is attracted by the singing male. The silent male than intercepts the incoming female. The silent male is called a satellite male because he orbits around the singing male waiting to intercept a prospective mate. After mating, the female uses her long needlelike ovipositor to individually inject several hundred eggs into the soil. The eggs will over-winter and hatch next spring. Only adult crickets in the warmth of your basement will make it through winter. The young hatch into miniature looking crickets and will slowly grow into adults. Crickets grow by shedding their hard shell-like skin in a process called molting. They go through eight to 12

REVIEWS “Betrayal of trust,” by J.A. Jance J.P. Beaumont returns and is working with the state of Washing ton Attorney General’s office Special Homicide unit, and is assigned to work on a very sensitive case involving the governor’s step-grandson, when what appears to be snuff fi lm appears on his cell phone. Poor Josh has only been living with his grandfather for a few years, and is not fitting in at school or with the other teens in the house, Zoe and Giselle. He has been getting nasty text messages, and has no friends at school, except for the chess club. As J.P. and his partner (and wife) Mel uncover the identity of the victim, and the details of her last days, they travel to the rural areas around Olympia. “When the killing’s done,” by T.C. Boyle Based upon a real-life controversy over using poison to wipe out rats on California’s Channel Islands National Park, Boyle has a group of activists opposed to the killing of any animals smuggling an antidote to the rat poison onto the islands. Boyle raises the question: is mankind qualified to have dominion over the creatures of earth? Critics were divided on this book, some feeling that his characters were stereotypical and others compared this book to some of his best work, like Tortilla Curtain. (Review from Bookmarks magazine, May/June issue.)
“The Anatomy of Ghosts,” by Andrew Taylor Taylor is known for his atmospheric historical mysteries (“Caroline Miniscule,” “An Air that Kills,” and “An unpardonable crime”). This book is set in eighteenth century England. John Holdsworth’s young son drowned in the Thames, and then his poor wife was hooked by spiritualists who promised that she could communicate with their son. Holdsworth then publishes a treatise, “The Anatomy of Ghosts” condemning belief in the supernatural. A woman forces him to help cure her son, who is convinced he is haunted by the ghost of his dead friend’s wife. Holdsworth finds himself in Cambridge, dealing with a sinister secret society. “Poser: My Life in twentythree yoga poses,” by Claire Dederer Not a yoga guide, not a selfhelp book, not quite a real memoir … but a bit of all three, along with a history of yoga, and sections feminism and attachment parenting. Dederer is a journalist who has written for the New York Times, The Nation, Real Simple, and Yoga Journal. When she hurt her back while caring for her new baby, her friends all suggested she try yoga, and she began her journey. “Cocaine’s Son: A memoir,” by Dave Itzkoff (Book on CD only) Itzkoff grew up in New York with a father addicted to cocaine. When he was 15 he got a call from his father to come and pick him up because he was lost somewhere and could not figure out how to get home. He had been dealing with his

father’s depressions and disappearances for years, and he refused. Then when in college he had his own troubles with substance abuse. This book is full of sharp wit, self-deprecating humor, and honesty. Read by Mark Turetsky. “Buried Secrets,” by Joseph Finder Finder brings back Nate Heller, who is now operating his own private security fi rm in Boston (Heller first appeared in “Vanished,” where he helped fi nd his missing brother). Nick Heller comes to the aid of family friend Marshall Marcus, whose daughter Alexa, has been kidnapped and held captive in an underground crypt; but as Nick digs deeper into Marshall’s life, he finds that his criminal activities have left behind scores of enemies that reach to the highest levels of government, to Colombian drug cartels, and the Russian mafia. One of the main clues they have to go on is a cell phone photo taken by Alexa of the tattoo on the back of the head and neck of the sadistic monster who kidnapped her. Finder is a fantastic thriller writer, one I recommend to people who like Vince Flynn and Brad Thor. Kathy Perschmann is a Chaska resident and assistant branch manager of the Chanhassen Library. She can be reached at kperschmann@co.carver.mn.us.

One of the new books at Carver County Libraries is “There are things I want you to know about Stieg Larsson and me,” by Eva Gabrielsson. This book was written by the longtime partner of the author of Lisbeth Salander (“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo“) books, and it has great insight in to Stieg’s work and what motivated him. He was dedicated to fighting right wing groups, and stopping racism and violence against women. Most of his political activism in his later life was centered around the anti-racist magazine Expo. Stieg and Eva met when they were in their teens, at an organizational meeting to protest the Vietnam War. Stieg travelled to Africa, and nearly died while there, when he was 22. They also both traveled to Grenada. Eva is an architect, writer and planner. She was in the city of Falun, working, when Stieg collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. He was dead before she could get back to Stockholm. He was only 50 years old. He had written his trilogy, but only the first book had made it to publication. His father and brother “inherited” all of his work, the rights to it, the royalties, everything, because Stieg and Eva never formalized their relationship. Eva talks a bit about how they chose specific locations in the series, and how some of the events and people that are depicted in the series were inspired by reality. Eva and Stieg had always feared retribution for their work against right wing hate groups. They were very security conscious, and had a special door and alarm system installed in their apartment.

Rolling on the lake Learning how to roll your kayak is insurance against panic, capsizing BY FORREST ADAMS fadams@swpub.com
K
ayaking, like canoeing and other types of boating, allows you to skim across the surface of the water. But it’s unique in that you sit level with the water, separated by a fiberglass shell from a world in which you cannot breathe. Learning to paddle a kayak is simple enough: Place the paddle blade in the water near your toes. Pull the paddle back alongside the boat to approximately your hip. Lift the paddle blade and take a stroke on the other side. Learning what to do if your boat capsizes takes a bit more practice, a small group of kayakers found out recently at Lake Minnetonka Regional Park in Minnetrista. Six paddlers received lessons in the two-week Three Rivers Park District Intro to Kayak Rolling class. Through numerous dunks in the water, they learned to be comfortable tipping over a kayak and the proper techniques for rolling the boat right side up while in it. As you might imagine, kayak rolling is not something you should try without a qualified teacher because of the drowning risk. It entails turning your boat over, leaving your body submerged upside down in the water, before turning the boat upright with you still in it. Use a nose clip or water will rush into your nasal passages as surely as the Minnesota River floods in the spring. Even with the clips, water might sneak into your nose if the clips aren’t tight enough. Don’t worry, it’s common. “You’ll feel like an otter at the end of the night,” Alex McKinney, a Three Rivers Park District kayaking instructor, told the pack of students, all middle-aged adults. So be it. That is what they signed up to do. The students were all recreational Twin Cities kayakers with no kayaking ambitions beyond knowing how to handle a kayak flip. Dan Fjell, paddle sports coordinator from Three Rivers Park District, and McKinney demonstrated a kayak roll and the appropriate response. The pair has taught kayak rolling so many times it’s almost like second nature to them. It looked easy, and before long class members were intentionally flipping their boats and dunking themselves into the water. Nose clips in place, they flipped, coughed as water snuck into their noses, flipped, helped their “buddy” and flipped again. Paddling instructors were within an arm’s reach, and gradually the class learned to tuck its head, snap its hip and roll. Tuck, snap and roll. It’s easy to say but apparently harder to do. The head tuck is important, so you flip up but not over again. The hip snap is the main skill employed to roll the kayak upright. It’s not something you learn on paper but takes practice and a willingness to get very, very wet. Experts said it takes hours, rather than minutes, to master the kayak roll. Rolling a kayak may not be high on your priority list of things to learn, but if you’re a regular kayaker it is probably a good skill to know. Fjell said the course is designed to help paddlers gain confidence in their kayaking skills so they can stay safe should their kayak ever tip. Not ready for rolling just yet? That’s OK because the class ended earlier this month. Three Rivers Park District offers multiple kayaking classes throughout the rest of summer and fall, and for rolling, there is always next year.
