Getting their sniff on Search and rescue organization ready for the call

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

Nearly 10 years ago, Denise Schultz saw dogs sniffi ng their way through the piles of rubble that resulted from the attacks on Sept. 11.

As she watched transfi xed by the dogs searching for people buried under the debris, she felt inspired.

Schultz decided then and there

that she was going to raise her own search and rescue dog.

“My kids were grown so I had the free time and I had a flexible job,” the Victoria resident explained. “It all came together at about the right time.”

Finding the perfect dog to partner up with was a different story, but after several years of searching, Schultz settled on a German shepherd pup she named Ava. Today, the playful Ava is 4 years old and a member of Northstar Search and Rescue.

Schultz is a training officer for the volunteer non-profit organization.

One of Chaska’s most prominent corners is about to be completely empty. After 26 years on the northwest side of Highway 41 and County Road 61, Chaska Farm & Garden is closing.

“It’s always been an option,” said owner Tom Hayden of closing. “But it was never my Plan A.” “The business has changed over the years,” he continued. “There’s not enough demand.”

Hayden said that his profits began to wane noticeably in 2008 when the economy tanked and new Highway 212 opened to the north.

“It was difficult,” he said. “Both the stock market crashed and the

road moved.”

Business rebounded in 2 0 0 9 only to fall off again over the last two years.

“If compliments were sales, we’d be doing just fi ne,” he said.

Hayden kept waiting for things to pick up and the economy to bounce back, but it hasn’t happened yet and he doesn’t foresee it happening in the next five years.

“I saw the sales last year and they were scary,” he commented.

One of the difficult aspects for a family moving to a new location is feeling comfortable with a new school system. District 112 is hoping to ease that stress with its new Welcome Center.

“Moving into a new school district can be nerve wracking for families,” said Diane Kaiser, District 112 director of information technologies. “The Welcome Center is designed to enter these families into our system and have them walk away excited about our schools.”

The new center opened in early August and is located on the main floor of the District 112 Education Center.

“The No. 1 goal for the Welcome Center is to improve our customer service for our families by making the process of enrolling easier,” said District 112 public relations director (now-retired) Nancy Kracke.

The Welcome Center is a onestop-shop, of sorts, for everything a family needs to enroll their kids in a District 112 school. From basic

Local pastor conducts Kardashian wedding Humphries family tied to area church

BY FORREST ADAMS fadams@swpub.com

Last weekend and early this week, entertainment news outlets around the world went into overdrive when realityTV star Kim Kardashian got married.

Kim Kardashian, 30, was the story, but as images of the wedding leaked to the press, the whole world saw Pastor Joel Johnson from Chanhassen’s Westwood Community Church standing before the celebrity bombshell and former University of Minnesota basketball player and current NBA player Kris Humphries, 26. The wedding took place on Saturday evening.

So how did the pastor of a large church in Carver County suddenly fi nd himself marrying celebrities at a private estate in Montecito, Calif., in front of a crowd that included Lindsay Lohan and Sugar Ray Leonard?

T he t r ut h is t here was nothing sudden about it. The Humphries family has attended Westwood for 10 years, and Johnson has known Kris Humphries since, well, before the 6-foot-9-inch Humphries was taller than the 6-foot-4inch Johnson.

Kris, when he was younger, participated in Westwood’s youth ministries, according to Tim Remington, the church’s communications director.

Johnson was not initially planning to grant media requests after he returned from

the wedding. “ H e ’s c o n sidering it a private matter between a pastor and his cong re gation,” said Remington.

However, Rev. Joel

by T uesday Johnson afternoon he issued the following statement. “As pastor of Westwood Community Church, it is my privilege to officiate the marriages of families within our congregation including the Humphries/ Kardashian wedding. The c ouple r e qu e s t e d a G o d honoring, Christ-centered ceremony and gave me the freedom to share a message that upholds God’s perspective on love that leads to a great marriage. This is what I wish for Kim and Kris in their marriage, and for every marriage.”

So what did the stars say about Johnson’s message? At least one, Kathy Lee Gifford, was impressed. According to reports, Gifford, a Kardashian family friend who attended the wedding, said on her TV show Monday morning that Johnson had preached the Gospel and conducted one of the most spiritual weddings she has ever attended.

“She gave a great affi rmation of Joel’s message,” Remington said.

Humphries, according to one report, proposed to his future wife at her Beverly Hills home by spelling out “Will you marry me?” in rose petals on the bedroom floor.

Should judges be appointed or elected?

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

Should judges be appointed by the governor or chosen by the voters?

State Rep. Mike Beard of Sh a kop e e i s s et t o deb at e fellow Republican state Sen. Julianne Ortman of Chanhassen on this issue at a public forum tonight moderated by former gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer. (A $10 cover charge is requested to cover event costs and raise funds for the GOP).

“Party members, like most Minnesotans, ag ree on de sired outcomes, but often disagree on the policy direction to achieve them,” said Scott County GOP media relations Director Cory Merrifield in a press release.

Beard has proposed replacing contested judicial elections with a “retention election” system, where judges are initially appointed by the governor and residents decide in future elections whether to retain them by

casting a “yes” or “no.” I f a judge is voted out of office, the governor would appoint a replacement from a list of candidates recommended by a commisJulianne sion.

Ortman No judge would run directly against another lawyer or judge, Beard said, pointing out the millions that can be spent in Wisconsin elections pushing one candidate over another. (Some fear this could happen in Minnesota where judges have been given more leeway in their campaign practices.)

Beard also proposes a judicial commission to help the public evaluate judges’ actions.

“Minnesotans take their elections and their judiciary seriously, and they are frustrated with the lack of information available to them so that they

can make intelligent and informed decisions,” said Beard in announcing the local debate.

I f B e a rd’s proposal is enacted next Mike session, MinBeard nesotans would vote on the constitutional amendment question in 2012, according to the Scott County GOP. O r t m a n d i s a g r e e s w it h Beard and supports the GOP platform position. She has recruited retired judge Charles Porter to help make her case tonight.

County Board plans to Chaska resident is state’s poet laureate set lower 2012 tax levy

BY RICHARD CRAWFORD editor@chanvilager.com

The Carver County Board will vote Sept. 6 on a preliminary tax levy that is expected to lower taxes on average-value homes and be about $1 million less than the 2011 levy, according to county officials.

The County Board, which discussed County Administrator David Hemze’s preliminary recommendations on Tuesday, has been planning for several months for a 2012 budget that will keep property taxes in check.

“Our recommendation to set the levy at $45 million follows the board’s direction to decrease the tax impact on average-value homes,” said Hemze.

Estimating it would cost an additional $1.3 million to maintain the same general level of services in 2012, county divisions have already been asked to cut their budgets by 2.9 percent.

However, state legislation passed this year will eliminate about $1 million more in state aid from the Market Value Homestead Credit.

Hemze’s recommendation calls for using $1 million in County Program Aid from the state to address the gap. That money had been targeted for funding capital projects.

“We need to lower the levy to offset the loss of Homestead Credit revenue from the state – revenue that used to subsidize the property tax levy – in order to avoid passing the state’s budget cuts down to the county’s taxpayers,” Hemze said. “By lowering the levy, the county will mitigate the increased tax burden on all properties and

County budget timeline Sept. 6: County Board will set preliminary property tax levy for 2012. (Final levy can be lower but not higher than preliminary levy) October: County administrator will present final budget and levy recommendation for 2012 and a 2013 long-term financial plan.

December: County Board will conduct a public hearing and adopt the 2012 tax levy and budget.

Joyce Sutphen of Chaska has been named poet laureate for the state of Minnesota by Gov. Mark Dayton.

She will serve as the primary spokesperson, supporter and promoter of poetry in the state.

“Joyce Sutphen is a talented writer and teacher who will be a great voice for poetry in Minnesota,” said Dayton. “I am thrilled she will be serving as poet laureate for our state.”

Sutphen grew up on a farm near St. Joseph, Minn., and lives in Chaska. She has degrees from the University of M i n ne s ot a , Joyce i ncludi ng a Sutphen m a ster ’s i n English with an emphasis in writing and a Ph.D. in renais-

sance d rama. She teaches literature and creative writing at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter. Sutphen has published several volumes of poetry, and has been honored with numerous awards including the Minnesota Book Award in Poetry.

Sutphen is the second official Minnesota Poet Laureate, replacing Robert Bly who was appointed by Gov. Tim Pawlenty in 2007. The position was established by

ensure the goal of decreasing taxes on average-value homes is met.”

According to a county release, the county’s tax impact on the average-value home has declined every year since 2005.

The value of the average home in Carver County decreased from $277,200 in 2010 to $267,800 in 2011.

Homeowners’ property taxes go to local cities, schools and the county as well as smaller taxing jurisdictions.

Under Hemze’s recommendation, the county’s portion of the total property tax bill on an average-valued home will decrease slightly in 2012.

Once the Carver County Board sets the 2012 preliminary tax levy in September, the final 2012 tax levy can be lower, but it cannot be increased for 2012. The County Board will vote to adopt the fi nal 2012 levy and budget after a public hearing in December.

They were holding a groundbreaking at the site of Southwest Christian’s future 62,000-square-foot high school, at the southeast corner of Highway 212 and Bavaria Road. Quite a bit of earth had already been moved on the site, but SWCHS officials used the occasion to thank all those who made it possible. “This is really part of a vision and a dream that so many people have been a part of for really the last 17 years, and it’s just so great to be here with you,” said SWCHS Principal Dan Beckering. Among those in attendance were Francis and Elizabeth Hammers, whose family had farmed the land for decades.

Thirty years ago this February three friends moved into the (old) Teske coal building on Chestnut, took over a farm hardware and feed store to start a garden center.

This new business, Chaska Farm & Garden, moved two years later to the(old) Gale building on 2nd street and two of the original friends (Tim Kenny and Julie Alden) moved on too.

In 1986 Chaska Farm& Garden moved to the (old) A&W on (then) Hwy 212 where we resided for 26 years and made our main mark.

Now, up against a myriad of headwinds including road/traffic changes, generational demographics, and a sour economy we find it necessary to close shop.

I bear no ill will to the City of Chaska. An environmental clean-up was necessary on our site, federal money was available and eminent domain was used to the good.

We can tell you that the city administration has bent over backwards to provide us useful and attractive options that we might well have chosen in a better climate.

Thank you (!) Bart Fischer, Bill Monk, Matt Podhrasky and Kevin Ringwald for all your help and hand-holding. Thank you also Sarah and Mike Hanlon for your kindness, footwork and the ideas that we also considered.

But the biggest thank yous must go to all our great customers, you know who you are, we’ve felt the love!

GUEST COMMENTARY

Making Minnesota a better, safer place

BY RICHARD CRAWFORD

Kim Weisner, a community supervision agent in Chaska, received something unexpected in the mail: a thank you card from an offender she Richard recommended be Crawford sent to jail. In it, the man wrote that her recommendation to the judge to send him to jail was the best thing she could have done for him. Kim said that card was one of the few thank yous she’s received in seven years as an agent. As she put it, “I don’t think this is a job of thank yous, especially from the offenders.”

Kim is one of hundreds of agents working to find the balance between focusing on enforcing accountability and helping offenders change their behavior to become law-abiding citizens.

Aug. 21-27 is Probation, Parole and Community Supervision Week in Minnesota. It’s a chance for us to recognize the often unrecognized individuals all over the state who supervise offenders in the community – on probation, parole or supervised release – to make Minnesota safer for our families.

Public perception of corrections is of prison bars and hardened criminals. But the numbers show that prisoners are less than 10 percent of the picture: there are approximately 9,400 inmates in state prisons and more than 127,000 people being supervised in Minnesota communities.

It’s a direction Minnesota has been moving toward for more than 30 years; and it is working. Research has shown that many offenders – from low-risk to high-risk – can be managed safely and held accountable in the community at lower costs and with better results than sending them to prison. Minnesota’s focus on using community-based resources to deal with offenders has resulted in a long-term strategy for budget savings. The Minnesota DOC has an annual budget of $456 million. In contrast, our neighbor Wisconsin incarcerates 23,000 offenders at an annual cost to taxpayers of $1.3 billion.

“For offenders released from prison, 72 percent remain law-abiding during the three-year follow up period.”

Richard Crawford Deputy Commissioner Minnesota Department of Corrections Supervision agents like Kim have a duality of roles. At times, their duties require that they be highly enforcement oriented. At other times, they utilize skills resembling those of social workers, counselors or addiction specialists. Within this dichotomy of roles, agents work tirelessly to motivate offenders to make positive changes, while holding them accountable for their actions. They create case plans to address specific offender needs, and connect offenders to community resources that help achieve goals such as sobriety, family reunification, treatment and work.

A key measure of success in corrections is whether an individual commits another crime – known as recidivism. Recent statistics show that 85 percent of Minnesota probationers remain free of any felony conviction three years after completing their sentence. For offenders released from prison, 72 percent remain law-abiding during the three-year follow up period. If we have successfully turned these individuals into taxpayers, not only do we save money in the long-run, we have prevented other citizens from becoming victims.

As we take time this week to recognized Probation, Parole and Community Supervision Week, I want to express my thanks to Kim and all the agents across the state and wish them the best in the performance of their duties. My hope is that they all receive the hundreds of thank you cards they deserve, because they work every day to make Minnesota a better, safer place.

Richard Crawford is deputy commissioner at the Minnesota Department of Corrections.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR FARM AND GARDEN

Thanks for being botanical therapists Editor’s note: Ashley Fox is a Chaska resident and floral designer who served as a Chaska Farm and Garden summer employee from 1994 to 2000.

When I saw the metal goats were lying on the ground I knew something was up, or down as the case turned out to be.

I hear you are closing your doors to Chaska Farm & Garden after 30-plus years of serving this community with your beautiful plants on the corner of Chaska Boulevard and Highway 41.

I am so sad to see you go. Each April 12, I looked forward to purchasing pansies and planting them with my daughter, Evelyn, on her birthday to welcome in spring and the planting season. Like clockwork, in the weeks that followed, I would come to the shop to see what new succulent was available or the latest color corral bells you would have.

My children have grown up running up and down the paths between your flowers at the shop. I will never forget the valuable traditions your shop has given to my family and the mark you have left on our spirits and yards summer after summer.

You have given me so much over the years: employment, friendship, inspiration and knowledge towards my career in designing plants and flowers. For this, I will always be

Finding community in a family tragedy This has been a summer of high peaks and deep valleys for our family. Near the end of June, we celebrated the birth of our son, Carson. He is the second apple of our eyes. Of course, the first is our daughter.

But less than a month after his birth, we hit an unexpected tragic low.

On a beautiful Tuesday morning near the end of July, my wife’s mother and best friend Peggy, was tragically stricken at the young age of 55 by a massive stroke that took her life by the following day.

The details of this event are wrought with all of the “what if ” thoughts of the survivors – how could we have caught it and saved her? Why didn’t we spend more time with her? And of course – why did it happen to her at all?

Within our family, the impact was both deep and profound. My fatherin-law was devastated. In addition to the emotional repercussions of the tragedy itself, he is re-learning the tools to function as a household doing all the things he has not had to do in the past 30 years – whether it is cooking, laundry, or even paying the bills.

My wife’s best friend, whom she would talk to on the phone three or four times a day, help out with the kids, go shopping with – was suddenly no longer there for her. She

Mike

HUANG COMMUNITY COLUMNIST

was the first person my wife would look to for advice, and help with our children.

And of course, our daughter was deeply hurt by this loss, as she was very close to her grandmother.

But through this horrible tragedy, I witnessed an amazing thing.

Friends and family from both far and wide called during the crisis offer their love. For the funeral they flew and drove in from across the country. Friends or co-workers who I had only vaguely heard of were sending me text messages of condolences, and offering support to my family. Countless acts of selfless generosity were offered to my family through this time of and grief.

Peggy’s co-workers volunteered to host a luncheon after her funeral.

In a span of days, they put together a full luncheon for what I estimate to be well over 200 people. To this day, I have an idea everyone was in the back helping out – and although I met and did my best to thank each of them, I’m sure I that I would have trouble remembering them or how they knew her.

As a great example of the coming together of community, I know from experience just how much effort it is to put together even a social event of that scale. Just the preparation alone is significant, and a lot of questions need to be answered. Who will be helping?

What’s the budget? Where is the food coming from? Who’s cooking it?

Where’s the venue? How is it getting to the venue? What about drinks?

Tableware? Linens? Napkins? Will the food be cooked before or at the site? Who’s serving? Who’s cleaning up? What about additional costs?

Yet, in a period of 72 hours, all of these questions were answered and it magically came together without a hitch. And from the family’s perspective, it was seamless. It was just there, and these selfless volunteers took care of every need at the luncheon.

At the funeral, people whom I had only heard of secondhand were telling me of how they knew, loved, and were touched by Peggy. They

told me stories of all the wonderful memories they had with her. Many shared with me stories that Peggy would tell of visits with my own family, and how her life had touched them.

Over 300 families signed the guest book. And this was in a community of just over 2,100 people! Everyone in town knew her, and even high school classes from years past sent flowers and plants.

After the funeral, my wife went to the local newspaper in Slayton to have a thank you printed to the community for all of their support through this ordeal. A surly, older man greeted her somewhat bluntly.

He took her application and read the form. He asked her, “Is this your mother?”

“Yes,” my wife replied.

The man told her, “I went to the school where she worked [a couple of times a week], and she was always kind to me. She always helped me out. She was a nice lady,” he paused.

“I’m going to give this to you for free.” Then he took the application, filed it away, and went back to what he was doing.

In life, Peggy taught those around her about many things – raising kids, family, dedication, kindness, and love. But more amazingly, after her passing, she also taught me that life in a small, tightly-knit

“Kindness is a two-way street. And communities are built upon a network of them.”

Mike Huang community is not just about large groups of people, brick and mortar, city planning, or about budgeting, public policy, or ordinances. Yes, all of those things are important, but most importantly – community is about our individual relationships.

It is about the one-on-one interactions we have with others on a day to day basis.

Community is about people caring enough about those around them to be there in times of joy, sadness or crisis. It is about helping others who need help, whether old or young, no matter the reason, background, color of eyes, hair or skin. Community is about appreciating and supporting those around you.

Kindness is a two-way street.

And communities are built upon a network of them.

Chaska Herald | www.chaskaherald.com

May well have saved a life On Aug. 18, an individual writes to the Chaska Herald to presumably “warn” people and make them, “… aware of what is happening in the small town of Chaska.” He laments that a concerned, responsible citizen called the police, because he was believed to be impaired and seen driving.

An officer did indeed observe this party driving, made his own independent observations, and stopped him. The writer was arrested and now faces alleged impaired driving criminal charges.

Without pausing to consider that the witness (actually witnesses) and officer may well have saved his or some innocent party’s life, the writer – rather than say “Thank you” – asks, “… wouldn’t you [witnesses] suggest that you [driver] should call someone to pick you up and leave your vehicle and not drive(?)”

Dear Mr. Lund: How many times do you need to be told not to drive while impaired? You have two prior DUI offenses, and have already lost one vehicle to the impaired driving forfeiture law. You now face your third alleged DUI violation, and forfeiture proceedings are in place regarding your second vehicle.

I urge you to get the help you need, before you kill yourself or another person.

Scott M. Knight Chief of Police Chaska

Cooper’s employees keep sticks on the ice Dan Lund called me to express his dissatisfaction with a call one of my employees made to the Chaska Police, which resulted in him getting charged with DUI. I talked with the three people working in the store that evening. The person who made the call said that this was done out of concern that Dan would hurt himself or someone else.

As the owner of Cooper’s, I have to support my employees when they exhibit good citizenship.

Dan called to let me know that if I did not do something about reversing his DUI charge that he would start a campaign which wou ld include writing to the local newspaper to persuade people to not shop at Cooper’s, and that he would distribute flyers telling people not to shop at Cooper’s.

To my knowledge we have never made a report such as this before. We have no official policy to make these calls, but I would support any of my employees making such a call under similar circumstances.

I would suggest that Mr. Lund take responsibility for his behavior.

I find it a little disconcerting that the Chaska police are required to let someone allegedly committing a crime know who reported them. When I called Police Chief Scott Knight, I was told that this is the law.

Why would a citizen report a suspected crime, if the result is going to be that the suspect knows who made the report.

At this time in our family business history, as with most small family businesses, we need all the local support and business possible. We cannot expect, nor would we want to have our employees neglect their responsibilities to the safety and well-being of our customers and the community at large in order to garner more business.

As the parent of hockey players, I know that keeping your stick down is done to protect all the players. Our employees do keep their sticks on the ice.

Writer should focus on safety I’m writing in response to the letter to the editor titled “Keep Stick on the ice” on Aug. 18.

Wow. There were several issues about it that compelled me to submit a response. The writer is upset that an employee of a local business notified police of a potentially unsafe driver. The writer received a DUI charge and therefore there is some cause to believe that he was being unsafe.

I think the writer should focus on public safety and stop being concerned with how others are reacting to his behavior.

The other concern I had with

WATER

RESPONSE TO KLINE

Good way to make our wells run dry

Represents donors, avoids constituents

Over a couple days earlier this summer, we had almost three inches of rain, enough to saturate the soil. There was standing water in low spots and lawns were squishy. Any water which fell on lawns simply ran off.

Nevertheless, many automatic sprinklers were operating, pouring hundreds of gallons of increasingly scarce clean drinking water down the sewer.

I cannot understand the waste. Clean water is not an unlimited resource. Watering an already soaked landscape is like running a pipe direct from the city’s water plant into the river, a good way to make the wells eventually run dry.

We, or our children, will need that water. Please do not waste it. Turn off your sprinkling system when there has been adequate rain. Better still, get a system with a moisture sensor which operates only when the ground is dry.

Or water manually only when you determine that your lawn really needs it.

Last week, the newspaper published a commentary from Rep. John Kline (“We need a ba la nced budget a mendment,” Aug. 18) . Mr. K line states “Throughout this month I have enjoyed visiting with and hearing from many Minnesotans at public forums and meetings…”.Where? When? I have been looking for an opportunity to discuss issues with my representative, Mr. Kline, for over two years. Those opportunities are either very rare or do not exist.

In the summer of 2010, I received a robo-call from Mr. Kline’s campaign for re-election. This was a polling call, asking me to give single word responses to a variety of questions. I was frustrated by the limited nature of the response options I was given. One question in particular made me very angry. The question was “Do you hold Barak Obama responsible for the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico?”

Since then, I have looked for any opportunity to have a discussion with Mr. Kline about why he would ask this question, and about my concerns regarding his stances on many issues. I have sent him multiple e-mails, left him multiple phone messages, and have received nothing but form letter responses in return and a voice mail from a staffer suggesting I sign up for Mr. Kline’s e-newsletter.

Mr. Kline’s statement that he held public forums cannot be true. I have found no publicized public meeting where I could meet with Mr. Kline during this congressional recess. Mr. Kline appears to avoid meeting with his constituents. He does not seem to want to listen to his constituents, how can he represent us? Who does he represent?

John Kline voted for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and for the Bush tax cuts. He also voted for the Medicare Part D bill which sold out American seniors to the pharmaceutical corporations. Now, citing the mess that he and his cronies caused, Mr. Kline has voted to end Medicare as we know it, and has voted to protect corporations and the richest individuals at the expense of those who can least afford it.

John K li ne, why do you represent only your corporate donors and avoid facing your constituents?

HOME CARE

What were you thinking?

Editor’s note: The author sent this note to Minnesota Sen. Julianne Ortman, regarding bill 760 and also requested that it be printed in the Chaska Herald: “I am forwarding an e-mail I sent to Ortman concerning the deplorable decision to cut pay by 20 percent for personal care assistance (PCAs) servicing family members. This decision not only will make it impossible for some families to continue to care for their family member in their home but will probably shut down many PCA agencies.

So far, I have not had a response from Ortman.”

I am a 59-year-old mother of four. My youngest son, Joe, was born with Duchene Muscular Dystrophy. I have been raising and taking care of him on my own since he was 12.

Joe is now 26 and is totally dependent. I have used PCAs for Joe since he went into a wheelchair at age 9.

Throughout those years we have had both very good and very bad PCA help. Always the best is family. All three of Joe’s siblings have served in that capacity. The pay is terrible.

There are no benefits, no vacation pay, no pay when Joe is in the hospital. But they do it because they want to spend time with their brother who, they know, will not be with them very long. When Joe turned 18, I was able to become a paid PCA for him besides my other job.

Joe has had four extended hospital stays. Three years ago he needed a tracheotomy to survive. His two brothers, myself and his father took the training at Children’s Hospital so we could take him home and help care for him.

Only family members are allowed to care for people with tracheotomies and vents as a PCA. Joe was sent home with 24 hour nursing care. After several months, I opted to cut the nursing to nights only.

Joe was so unhappy with the drastic way his life had changed – he wanted some normalcy back – he wanted his brother. His brother, Matt, has been struggling to survive on $12.25 and hour. He puts in 48 hrs a week. He has two children to support. I could not manage Joe without him, but this new bill you have passed to cut our pay by 20 percent will make it impossible for him to continue. So, what are my options? What have you created here? Have you thought of the consequences?

I believe everyone should be doing their part to control spending. I believe, just by keeping Joe in my home to care for him, has been doing my part. Fighting the insurance company every six months to cover his nursing care is doing my part.

Joe is covered under his father’s health insurance fi rst, then the state. They have tried everything to ‘pass the buck’ to the state – so far I have won the battle.

By passing this bill, you have made a fi nancially tight situation an impossible one. I will have to throw in the towel and the state will end up paying

Need to invest in our future I read Rep. K line’s Commentary in the last issue of the Chaska Herald, and was a little disturbed by his lack of understanding of economics, history, and the reality of our current economic situation.

R e p . K l i n e s t at e d t h at “Americans know that small business, families, and entrepreneurs – not Congress – are the key to job creation.” Under normal circumstances that might be true and I would agree with him, but not in a recession, especially the severe recession we have been left by Bush administration.

We all know that businesses and families are waiting for the economy to pick up before investing and hiring. If we want to prevent a long-term business slowdown, we need to stimulate our economy with government spending. Now is a good time for the government to invest, especially in our infrastructure.

If you have been following reports for the last several years, you realize that our nation’s and our state’s infrastructure is degrading and needs investment. Whether it is bridges, dams, roads, water and sewer systems, they need investment to keep us strong.

We can talk about businesses creating jobs, but are they going to invest if they cannot get clean water, or the transportation system is not adequate to move goods to market.

Let’s look back at history of the Great Depression and post World War II. It was major investment by the federal government that ended the Depression. The nation’s economy was gradually improving due to gover n ment i nvest ment until 1937 when fears of the magnitude of the national debt led to cuts in spending, and our

Jim Weygand Carver

I recently read the editorial from my Representative John Kline. Wow. I am sure glad that he is wasting our time by going ahead with something that will never get passed.

You can not hamstring our gover nment by a constitutional budget amendment when unforeseen events could and usually do happen. That is just asking for more trouble.

And another thing is that Mr. Kline makes it sound that everyone in his district thinks the way he does. Sorry, but that is just not true. Or maybe he only listens to his side. That is what it appears like whenever I have communicated with him.

Also, many of you Minnesotans are fairly smart people.

Wouldn’t it make a lot more sense if the people in Washington, all sides, actually revised the tax codes so that everyone would pay fewer taxes, but got rid of the tax loop holes so that the government could bring in more money without raising taxes on anyone? That is what should be done.

But it seems common sense has left Washington far behind.

Instead, they want to fi ll your heads with junk like get rid of regulations, tax breaks for corporations and the rich. You can streamline the regulation process, but we need regulations.

And on the stimulus package, yes President Obama overstated the number of jobs it would create, but it did work because of the one point that all of the Republicans would like to keep from you. The government stimulus packages, started by President Bush, kept this country out of a full blown depression.

And being it is now election time again, you will be hit over the head again and again by people saying that our current president is the worst ever, is the reason gas prices are high and that he even kicks dogs. Sorry to tell you this, but President Obama inherited the worst economy since the Great Depression. And you think that he can change it in three years?

The depression took more than 10 years and a world war to get things straight again.

I just love politicians trying to tell the intelligent people of Minnesota that all of your troubles are because of one man. No, that won’t wash.

The Republicans need, and I do mean need, to stop talking about all of these spending cuts in this current economy.

All that will do is have more people join the unemployment lines. And we as a country can’t afford that right now.

I want to leave you with this.

If your wife acts like President Obama has been by putting everything on the table, and you, the husband, act like the Republicans have been, not willing to compromise, what would happen? I’ll tell you. You would be out the door on your butt.

Compromise makes a family strong. Both parties need to do better, but if the Republicans don’t want to make my country strong by compromising in a little, they need to be shown the door.

economy fell back.

It was fi nally the huge outlays of the World War that pulled us out of the Depression.

After the war ended, with our nation deep in debt, debt larger compared to our nation’s income (GDP) than it is today, we managed to fi nd the dollars to invest in ourselves and the rest of the world. That investment made us economically strong and enabled the world to buy our output.

In the 1950s, despite recovering from the debt of two wars and the Depression, we invested in ourselves with infrastructure like the interstate highway system. Now we need to invest to maintain and expand that infrastructure.

Yes we need to be fiscally responsible, but any successful business owner knows that does not mean just cutting spending.

Rep. Kline seemed to have no worry about our debt during the Bush administration when we ran up big deficits to give tax breaks to the rich, but it is different when it involves putting people back to work.

Businesses that do not invest in their future disappear.

Countries that do not invest in their future decline and become second rate. Yes we have to worry about our debt and need to be fiscally responsible, but we need to invest in our future and put people back to work.

“My employees made more last year than I did.”

This year’s late spring didn’t help matters either, although Hayden conceded, “You can only blame so much on the weather.”

THE SEARCH A fter initiating eminent domain on the corner in 2006, Chaska city staff “bent over backwards” to work with him,

RESCUE continued from page 1

The group has been around for since 1989 and offers their training and experience free of charge to local law enforcement and other governmental agencies to help find and recover lost people. They have executed 250 searches in the last 22 years.

Chaska truck driver Rhonda Schmidt joined Northstar Search and Rescue as a way of giving back to her community.

She found her inspiration in Hank Wittemore and Caroline Hebard’s book about canine search and rescue work “So that Others May Live.”

“I was hooked,” said Schmidt.

“I said, ‘I want one of those.’”

But like Schultz, it took Schmidt some time to fi nd the right dog for the job.

“It took 10 years to find a dog I liked,” said Schmidt. Two years ago, Schmidt found a German shepherd breeder about to

www.chaskaherald.com | Chaska Herald Hayden said. The city sought to keep Hayden, who leases the space, on the site temporarily while seeking a more permanent location for his garden center. For a time, Hayden was working with Mike and Sarah Hanlon to relocate next to the Mill House Gallery. More recently, Hayden was eyeing a deal that would have moved him to the Cooper’s Foods parking lot across Highway 41.

“That would have required an investment on my part,” Hayden explained. “But I just

don’t see things improving.”

Hayden said that for the last decade, he has seen fewer avid gardeners – many of the baby boomer generation – coming to his business. “The older, serious gardeners are dropping off the map,” he said. “And the next generation is not that keen on [gardening].”

The economy plays a big role in that, too, he believes. “What I sell is not something you have to have,” he said.

Hayden intends to sell off his existing product before closing

up shop, but there’s one thing he knows about his timeline. “I won’t be here for the Christmas season,” he said.

have a litter of pups available for adoption. In that brood, the breeder recognized a male pup with “super drive” perfect for search and rescue work.

Schmidt took the breeder’s advice and brought Zander home.

Today, Schmidt is the secretary for Northstar Search and Rescue and 16-month-old Zander is in training to join the unit.

“He’s large and in charge,” said Schmidt, of Zander. “He loves disaster work. His personality alone will carry him through.”

herds are prized for their long noses and extraordinary sense of smell. “Our senses are nothing compared to these dogs,” she said.

One search and rescue dog/ handler team can do the work of up to 3 0 trained human searchers in locating missing persons. “They’re very intuitive,” said Schultz.

In their four years working together, Schultz has developed a special connection with Ava. The dog knows how to communicate her fi nds to Schultz and Schultz knows how to respond to Ava’s signals.

“It’s like a Vulcan mind meld,” said Schultz. “She and I really connect in a way I haven’t seen with other breeds.”

Schultz, noting that later on they work on agility both on land and in water.

The work is a huge time commitment. The group trains as a unit twice a week and most handlers work with their dogs individually on a daily basis. Last year alone, Schmidt spent about $7,000 on training expenses and put 30,000 miles on her vehicle.

“A lot of people come and go,” said Schmidt of interested prospects.

The depth of the training even came as a surprise to Schultz. “I thought I knew everything there was about training a dog,” said Schultz. “I was wrong.”

“You better like training,” she said.

Both Schultz and Schmitz estimated that raising a successful search and rescue dog is 90 percent handler, 10 percent dog. Humans interested in Northstar Search and Rescue must complete a three-month volunteer stint before they can join the unit.

NATURALS Northstar Search and Rescue is based in Golden Valley and is comprised of four members and a host of German Shepherds.

Schmidt said that the shepherd’s herding instincts make them a natural protector and their drive and work ethic are ideal for search and rescue work.

Schultz added that the shep-

TRAINING Training search and rescue dogs begins early in the dog’s life.

“We start with puppy training and then move into obedience and socialization,” said

GOODBYE Hayden is planning to get out of the garden business all together, although he isn’t quite sure what his next job will be yet. He said he’ll miss his customers most of all.

“We have the loyalist customers,” he offered.

Hayden got his start in Chaska 30 years ago when he teamed

up with Tim Kenny and Julie Alden to take over a farm hardware and feed store on Chestnut Street. They added a garden center and two years later moved to Second Street. It was 1986 when Chaska Farm & Garden moved to its current location adjacent to Firemen’s Park. And there it will remain until there are no more flowers, no more ornamental grasses, no more bags of birdseed left to sell.

Hayden and his two full-time employees – Barrie Anderson and Kevin May – are preparing

for plenty of customer disappointment in the coming weeks as news of their closure spreads.

“We’ll have to put out a box of Kleenex,” joked Anderson.

They’ll miss working at the garden center too. “I’ll miss the camaraderie,” said Anderson.

“And the customers. And working outside.”

For May, it’s the end of a long chapter in his life. He started working at Chaska Farm & Garden 25 years ago. “It was a high school job that I never left,” he said.

Handlers and their dogs work for anywhere from 18 months to two years to get the dogs certified to national search and rescue standards before they can go out on any calls. Among the tests for certification is one where the dog and handler are charged with fi nding two victims – one moving and one stationary – in a 160-acre area.

“It becomes a partnership with the dog,” said Schultz.

cies about their free services.

(The group cannot respond to private search requests.)

For her part, Schultz has served as field tech support on several cadaver searches, but no live missing person calls.

“It’s very thought provoking,” she said of the searches.

When they are not waiting for calls to come in, the group loves to do demonstrations and safety talks for schools and other organizations. It’s a good chance to show off the dogs and all their hard work. The group also works to raise funds to offset the costs of training, travel and equipment.

Even with the hefty time demands and costs, neither Schmidt nor Schultz would turn their back on search and rescue work now. Both say they intend to keep training dogs for the work.

“I’ve already got the next name picked out,” said Schultz.

“I’m already eyeing the next dog,” said Schmidt.

REWARD Schmidt believes that all the hard work will pay off for her and Zander someday.

“If I can make closure for one family or save one life, it will be worth it,” she said.

Schmidt hasn’t been out on any calls yet. Although they are available to work both locally or in partnership with other search and rescue operations in the state, their group is largely still working to get the word out to law enforcement and other government agen-

Wacipi draws big crowds

BY MARK W. OLSON editor@chaskaherald.com

Last Sunday, the fi nal day of the Chaske Cikala Wacipi, or “Little Dance in Chaska,” after everyone entered the dance arena, a bald eagle flew overhead.

Then, when the group retired the flags and the Pow Wow was fi nished, a bald eagle once again flew over the grounds at McKnight Park, recalled event organizer and Chaska resident Walt Ripplinger.

“He just circled and circled and people put down tobacco and Grandma Ramona [Manuel], our spiritual leader, came out and talked to that eagle, and it just kept f lying and flying until she was done and people had their tobacco out, and it f lew southwest,” Ripplinger recalled.

It was a significant event to Ripplinger, a Chaska resident of Lakota heritage. “The eagle carries our prayers to the Creator, and we’re taught that when the eagle appears that the Creator is sending a message back to us,” Ripplinger said. In this case, Ripplinger said the elders interpreted the eagle’s appearance as “telling us that what we’re doing, what we just completed, really pleased the Creator … and we should keep doing it.”

“All I could do was stand and cry like a baby,” Rip plinger recalled.

BIG CROWDS By early Saturday, Nate Bost rom, president of t he Jonathan Association, a major sponsor of the event, had counted 274 spectators and dancers at the event. Rip plinger estimates that by the

end of the weekend, 800 to 900 people had attended the Pow Wow, and as many as 160 dancers participated. Last year, crowds were estimated at 300 to 400, with about 63 dancers.

“There were people all over the place. It was like ‘wow,’” said Ripplinger. “We had dancers from Iowa, we had dancers from North Dakota and South Dakota and Wisconsin that

“Those of us on the Jonathan board of directors like to think that working with the city and the Mdewakanton community to create the Chaske Cikala Wacipi demonstrates the Henry McKnight vision of Jonathan as an ‘incubator of ideas,’” Bostrom stated, in an e-mail.

There were also a total of six vendors, selling crafts and foods. Venture Crew 276 set up three tepees on the site for the event.

The board sees this as a natural growth progression of this special community-building event,” Bostrom said.

Meanwhile, Ripplinger hopes that next year’s event is even bigger, “that we get more dancers and more vendors and more community support, and just

Drunk driver crack down Carver County Sheriff’s Office deputies will crack down on drunk and impaired drivers during a stepped-up statewide and nationwide DWI enforcement effort, Aug. 19–Sept. 5, according to a Carver County Sheriff’s press release.

The statewide campaign is coordinated by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety.

On average in Minnesota, 30,000 motorists are arrested for DWI each year — there were 284 arrests in Carver County in 2010. During the last three years in the state, 2008–2010, there was an average of 145 alcohol-related deaths and 300 alcohol-related serious injuries. In Carver County during this period, there were nine alcohol-related deaths.

DPS reports enhanced DWI enforcement campaigns have factored in the state recording a trend of fewer alcohol-related deaths. Last year, 131 motorists

were killed in alcohol-related crashes, the lowest on record since the statistic was first measured in 1984; down from 141 in 2009.

“DWI enforcement is important to stop preventable crashes and their resulting tragedies,” stated Sheriff Jim Olson, in the press release. “Law enforcement will be doing their part to make roads safer, we need everyone else to do the same or they will face very damaging consequences.”

A DWI offense can result in loss of license for up to a year, thousands in costs and possible jail time.

Another new consequence for DWI in Minnesota is use of ignition interlock. Firsttime Minnesota DWI offenders with a 0.16 and above alcoholconcentration level, and all repeat DWI offenders need to use ignition interlock, or face at least one year without a driver’s license. Interlock is installed under the dashboard of the vehicle and connected to its starter. Users must provide a breath sample into the interlock with an alcohol concentration below 0.02 in order for the vehicle to start.

Sheriff Deputies are also encouraging seat belt use during the campaign. Each year 75 percent of drinking drivers killed are also not belted. Minnesota’s primary seat belt law requires drivers and passengers in all seating positions — including the back seat — to be buckled up or in the correct child restraint. Law enforcement will stop and ticket unbelted drivers and passengers.

Carver County Sheriff’s Office encourages people to: Plan for a safe ride — designate a sober driver, use cab/ public transportation, or stay at the location of the celebration. Families should let each other know that they will be available to offer a safe ride home.

Buckle up and wear protective motorcycle gear — the best defenses against an impaired driver.

Report impaired driving — call 911 when witnessing

On the night of Aug. 14, numerous locations along Stoughton Avenue, Zemble Avenue and around the Riverview Terrace neighborhood were tagged with graffiti.

Most of the graffiti appeared to be related to the symbols and writing often affiliated with the Latin King gang, according to the Chaska Police.

Riverview Terrace management has offered a $500 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

we’ve streamlined the process to have everything in one place which will hopefully make us more efficient and reduce the opportunity for mistakes.”

The center itself is staffed by coordinator Joan Thomes, who formerly worked ay Chaska Middle School West and has experience in registration and technolog y in past district roles.

The district researched similar centers in Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, St. Cloud and Edina to help develop its own.

“They all have a wide range of options provided, from pure-

ly registration to doctor services,” said Kaiser.

District 112 chose to focus on purely school registration and services only as they opened the Center.

“We’ll start with these options and move forward as we learn how to operate,” said Kaiser. “We would like to move forward in the future with community items like youth sports, doctors and health care options and county services, as well as other school items like testing for class placement, which is still done at the school level.”

District officials said they ex-

perienced over 1,200 new registrations last summer and average about 55 each month during the school year. The Welcome Center coordinator will also handle census data and change of address information.

But district officials also note schools are still open for newcomers.

“We know parents and students want to make that connection with their school, so school officials are always open to setting up times to tour the buildings and allowing them to get familiar with their new school,” said Kracke.

he weather gods were shining on Chaska last week as the city hosted its annual Touch-A-Truck event on Thursday evening. Throngs of families descended on the Chaska Community Center to set off police squad sirens, pull levers on a backhoe and check out the inner sanctum of a fi re truck.

But perhaps the most popular attraction was a small pile of snow in front of the city’s Zamboni. Even in the middle of summer, kids couldn’t resist the urge to play in the snow.

Pronto pups, mini-donuts and … fish tacos?

OUTSIDE THE BOX

Chan family runs food stand at state fair

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

Remember that recent reality show called “America’s Next Best Restaurant?” A bunch of contestants from around the country come up with a restaurant concept, come up with a menu, a logo, and a marketing plan?

Michael and Sarah Wentzien of Chanhassen laughed when they heard about it.

“We didn’t have to watch it,” Michael Wentzien said. “We’ve lived it.”

For 50 weeks out of the year, Michael works at OptumInsight in Eden Prairie, a company which provides technology, information, analytics and consulting to the health care industry. Sarah is a CPA and former IBM business consultant. When they started a family — Paul, 8, John, 6, and Lauren, 3 — Sarah became a stay-at-home mom.

But she was cooking up ideas for a food stand at the fair.

Sarah comes from a Minnesota State Fair family. Her parents, Richard and Delphine Sunderland, have owned and operated the Red Barn Root Beer Stand and the Galaxy of Drinks for nearly 46 years at the state fair. The root beer is made locally with an old family recipe and is made in St. Paul. It’s only available once a year, during the 12 days of the state fair.

Growing up, Sarah spent her time at the family’s fair booth, pretty much from the time she learned how to count back change, Michael said.

It just never left her blood.

Over the years, she and her family would brainstorm food concepts for the fair. Sarah’s sister, who lives in southern California, suggested creating a fish taco.

A fish taco?

“I know,” Michael said. “If you’re from the Midwest [he grew up in Gladbrook, Iowa] that doesn’t sound right.”

Though they played around with lots of ideas, they kept circling back to the fi sh taco concept.

“So Sarah put a business plan together based on a fi sh taco stand,” Wentzien said. “We fiddled around in a test kitchen with different fish, toppings, sauces, and how you blend it together.”

About seven years ago, they submitted their idea to the state fair. “‘We love it,’ we were told,” M ichael said. “ T hey said, ‘It’s in our top 10 for new food booths.’ But we didn’t make the fi nal cut. So we tried again the second year, and again we heard ‘We love it.’ The third year we were told that the fair was reconfiguring the International Bazaar and we should base our submission on that location. So Sarah wrote a whole different plan. But we didn’t get it. Then we heard that someone had moved out of the Food Building and there was, fi nally, an opening. This time, they invited us in.

“But we had only three to four months to build the stand, layout and design the space, fit in the refrigerators, the freezers, the sinks, griddles, the hot and cold tables and develop the signage.”

Michael said, ‘Fortunately, Sarah’s parents were able to give us a hand, along with family and friends.

“Our fi rst year, we were up all night before the fair opened, getting ready and fi nally had everything set up at 6 a.m.” he said. “And then we opened for business at 8 a.m.”

Their fish tacos swam out the door, so to speak. Local food reviewers raved about the new food concession at the fair, and Los Felipe Tacos made the list of top 10 best new foods. Since then, Los Felipe Tacos has ex-

No Teasing, Dinner’s on Us!*

panded its menu. In addition to the famous fi sh taco, there is also jerk chicken, beef, and vegetarian tacos.

Los Felipe Tacos have developed a following.

“I know there are people who come to the fair, pay the admission, just so they can get our tacos, and then they leave,” Michael said. “And people always ask if we have a restaurant. We don’t, but maybe we should.”

They’re introducing a new taco t his yea r — Ca r nitas Asian Fusion Taco — made of pulled pork with a special marinade, cabbage, fresh cucumbers, red peppers and jalapeño, served with a cusabi (cucumber/wasabi) sauce.

They also have nachos and churros. This year, they’ve replaced the fried ice cream with xango cheesecake, deepfried and rolled in cinnamon sugar, raspberries and whipped cream.

NEXT GREAT RESTAURANT The Wentziens watched an episode of the America’s Next Great Restaurant knowing just what the contestants were going through.

“We did the show when we created Los Felipe Tacos,” Michael said. “The hardest thing about opening a restaurant is how to manage the ordering.

Come and see them at the state fair. Michael and Sarah Wentzien are the owners of San Felipe Tacos, located in the Food Building at the Minnesota State Fair. Their special fish taco has made it a destination booth for thousands of fans.

Our fi rst year, we were left to our own devices. ‘How many tacos will we sell?’ You don’t know, but you have to order supplies and keep them on site.

“The fi rst year was tough,” Michael said. “We almost ran out of fish the first day. We didn’t’ know how successful

Trio of community spirit Three women serve as Steamboat Days grand marshals

BY NICK MASON nicholascmason@comcast.net

Three women who cultivated deep roots in the city of Carver through decades of community service will be in the spotlight during the 2 011 Steamboat Days celebration.

Carver Lions Club chose Donna “Ma” Riesgraf, Barbara Swanson and Jane Thon to be grand marshals leading the Steamboat Days parade at 1 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 11, through downtown Carver.

“I don’t know why me. What did I do for this? ” Riesgraf asked when the Chaska Herald met with the three marshals Aug. 4. “I want to fi nd out how I got roped into it.”

Greg Osterdyk, past president of Carver Lions Club and mayor of Carver, said decades of helping others warranted their selection.

“All three are long-time residents of Carver and have done great things for the community, so we want to recognize them for that.”

Thon actually is a Jordan resident, but she merits honorary Carver residency because of her devotion to Carver Community Youth Baseball Softball Association, including her current role of president for several years.

“My niece was 9 [years old] and I went to watch one of her games,” Thon said. “The gal in charge was leaving to go to Arizona, so they weren’t going to have a coach. So I stepped in.

Let’s see, my niece is now 42, so that was 33 years ago.”

Riesgraf and Swanson trace their Carver volunteer history to the Fire Ladies auxiliary of the early 1960s. They tell tales of serving fi refighters and the entire community by preparing thousands of meals during

times of crisis or pleasure.

“When the firemen had fires, we’d go to serve them lunch, sandwiches and coffee. And we fixed all the hamburgers at their annual softball tournament, 600 pounds of hamburger.

“And the Fire Ladies served breakfast, lunch and dinners at the church [Trinity Lutheran Church] and the hall [City Hall] after the flood … in 1965,” Swanson said.

“We did have a good crew,” Riesgraf said. “We had a lot of fun, and we still do.”

“I’m sure we’ll start crying.

What a wonderful experience it will be with the people calling your name as you go by.”

than 300 this year. She is a former 4-H leader in Jordan and former board member of Trinity Episcopal Church in Excelsior.

Sitting at Riesgraf’s kitchen table, they shared stories about the fun they had, the friendships they made and the satisfaction they felt helping others during the past six decades. They discovered that they share a common thread, learning early in life to invest time and effort in community service.

“We learned from our parents that being involved is important,” Thon said. “We didn’t just roll into this. We had the upbringing that this was important.”

Riesgraf, 76, of Carver, was co-owner of B&D Catering for 25 years and still bakes and donates cookies, coffee cakes and other sweet treats to community events. She is a member of Carver Second Alarm and served as an elections judge, Girl Scout leader and blood bank volunteer for several years.

Swanson, a Carver resident for 48 years, was president of Fire Ladies about 15 years, held most offices at St. Nicholas Catholic Church, is vice president of Carver-on-the-Minnesota, Inc. and a member of Carver Second Alarm, was a member of the Carver Heritage Preservation Commission and was a former Girl Scout leader.

Swa n son i s wel l-k now n through Swanson & Associates, Inc., a real estate and insurance business at 212 Broadway in downtown Carver. Long-time Carver residents remember when she was city clerk from 1965 until 1970.

The Northwind now rests at the south end of Broadway St.

Gene Cassidy donated the boat to the city of Carver.

1890 steamboat lands in Carver MARK W. OLSON editor@chaskaherald.com

It has probably been a few years since Carver was home to a steam-powered watercraft.

The wait is over.

L a st T hu r sd ay, a n 18 9 0 steamboat, called the Northwind, arrived in Carver.

Earlier that day, movers fastened the boat behind a

semi truck at the St. Paul Yacht Club on the Mississippi River.

They needed to overcome a few

obstacles, such as finding a different trailer when the fi rst one encountered mechanical issues, and removing a smokestack and light so the tugboat could safely travel through underpasses.

However, the boat now sits snuggly at the south end of Broadway Street in downtown Carver, already attracting a steady steam of spectators.

It’s come a long way since

being rescued from a Washington, D.C. junkyard on the Potomac River, only to be restored by naval architects. About 15 years ago, Gene Cassidy, of St. Paul, purchased the boat.

“Since its rediscovery, the people that have had it are, let’s just say, a little oddball in that it’s not just an ordinary boat,” Cassidy said.

Cassidy said he decided to sell the craft for $ 30,000 in

an attempt to “retire for the third time.” The boat had no buyers and Cassidy donated it to Carver. The City Council unanimously voted to accept the gift. In the process, Cassidy learned its value. “No one was surprised as I to have the appraisal come through at $200,000 to $400,000. A lot of people have missed opportunities, but I’m very happy to give it to Carver.

“I know it’s going to be a good home for it. I’m su re [it will be] appreciated and opened up to the public to enjoy.”

Meanwhile, according to Cit y Ad m i n i st r ator Brent M a r e ck , t he N o r t hw i nd’s smokestack has already been reinstalled and the city is organizing community groups to determine the next step for the Northwind.

New city logo is a go Water tower retains spot on symbol

BY NICK MASON nicholascmason@comcast.net

The city of Carver has a new identity symbol.

A three-color logo that reflects new growth while retaining the city’s historical base was approved this month by the Carver City Council.

“We are kind of positioning Carver to change a little bit. It’s a refreshed identity,” Mayor Greg Osterdyk said before the council voted 4-1 for the new logo. “It takes a little bit of development at the top of the hill and keeps the historic aspect.”

Part of the new logo is patterned after the city’s monument sign, to be erected on the northwest corner of Levi Griffin Road and Jonathan Carver Parkway leading to the Mills Fleet Farm store under construction.

The new logo also contains a railroad water tower, which was the key element in the old black-and-white logo the city displayed since 1974.

Initial designs for the new logo deleted the water tower, but councilors decided in July that was too dramatic a change and that the water tower should be incorporated into the new logo.

“I like the water tower,” Councilor Glen Henry said. “The biggest issue we have is combining the old with the new.”

John von Walter, a Carver history enthusiast and member of the Carver Heritage Preservation Commission, is satisfied with the fi nal result.

“It’s OK. I don’t have any complaints,” von Walter told the Chaska Herald. “It gives a nod to the past and a nod to the river and to the future, I guess.”

The new logo is green, blue and brown. The words “CITY OF” and the water tower are green. The word “CARVER” and a wavy line representing the Minnesota River are blue.

A straight line below the water tower and most of the word ‘CARVER” is brown.

Three initial designs had green-colored prairie grass on the left side, but the prairie grass was replaced by the water tower.

The new logo was designed by graphic artist Alicia Boltz of Herald Journal Marketing and Media Services in Winsted.

“That is a big part of what our company does, and we look at logo development in a comprehensive way,” Chris Schultz, the company’s chief executive officer, said during a telephone interview. “Is it goodlooking and well-presented?

Will it look good on the side of a vehicle, be readable from a billboard, be efficient and low cost to reproduce?

“The Carver logo is a good-

looking design, very attractive, and has a nice, positive, forward-looking, very usable image,” Schultz said.

The monument sign leading to the Fleet Farm store and featuring the word “CARVER” was designed by Bonestroo, Inc. of St. Paul, the city’s engineering consultant, said City Administrator Brent Mareck.

Councilors Cindy Monroe and Carrie Newhouse, members of the city’s Economic Development Committee, raised the idea of changing the city logo after reviewing the design of the monument sign earlier this year, Mareck wrote in a memo to councilors July 18.

Changing the logo received more attention in June when councilors talked about branding the city’s identity to blend historic downtown Carver with newly developing sections of Carver near Highway 212.

Mareck had Herald Journal Marketing and Media Services perform work when he was Winsted city administrator before coming to Carver last year, Schultz said. Mareck hired Schultz’s company to design a new Carver logo.

The new logo was approved

by Osterdyk, Henry, Monroe and Newhouse. Councilor Mike Webb voted against it, saying the city should keep the blackand-white logo featuring the water tower.

“I want to stay with the same.

I’m committed 100 percent to the water tower in the city of Carver,” Webb said during the

council meeting July 18. “I see no need at all for a change.”

Webb’s criticism of a new logo escalated during the council meeting Aug. 1: “It’s a waste of money, and we shouldn’t do it.”

LOW COST Others said the cost will be nominal because the city will phase in use of the new logo.

“I don’t think this costs us anything except a couple hundred [dollars] for the artist,” Osterdyk said.

Schultz said his company will bill the city “about $130” for the logo design work.

The most expensive aspect of the new logo may be getting it copyrighted as a protected trademark.

Former Mayor Jim Weygand recommended to councilors July 18 that a new logo be copyrighted because the old logo was used by some local businesses in their advertising

without asking for and without needing permission from the city government.

“We don’t have control over the current logo,” Weygand said.

“We need one to be copyrighted so other businesses can only use it with your permission.”

Mareck wrote in an e-mail that the city intends to have the new logo copyrighted as a trademark. He said he has not started to review the copyrighting process or to estimate those costs.

The new logo already is featured in digital communications, such as the city’s website www.cityofcarver.com. It also is being shown on the projection screen at council meetings, although the blue portions look purple on the screen.

Mareck said city staff will continue to use existing stationery featuring the old logo and change to the new logo only when ordering new supplies of letterhead paper.

SUBMITTED ARTWORK

Carver’s old logo, which it has had since 1974.

The new logo will not be painted on the city’s 100,000-gallon water tower at 1765 Mount Hope Road. A contractor currently is painting that tower for the fi rst time in 24 years.

Councilors voted Aug. 15 to have only the word “CARVER” painted on the refurbished water tower. It will mimic part of the logo by using the same font and by having the second “R” in “CARVER” extend below the other letters.

Carver’s gradual switch to a new logo contrasts with the Victoria City Council approach of having two logos. The old one is a round seal with the word “VICTORIA” above the seal and the words “City of Lakes & Parks” below the seal. The new logo is simply a large letter “V” atop a darker square background.

Victoria councilors voted July 25 to direct their staff to investigate and recommend where and how both logos might be used.

Lions reach out The Carver Lions again hosted its annual Lions International Youth Exchange in Lions Park in Carver on July 29.

“W hi le the weather was exceptionally warm for this annual picnic and softball game all involved enjoyed the day,” reports Carver Lions member Jim Weygand.

This year the group hosted 28 youth from Belgium, Brazil, China, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Mongolia, Norway, Switzerland, Netherlands, Turkey and the United States. The students were on a tour of Minnesota.

The Carver Lions have been hosting the event for 23 years.

PROVERB OF THE MONTH: “Better to prevent than regret.” – Salvadoran Proverb

GUEST COMMENTARY

Military tragedy hits close to home

BY MIKE EDER

Many of us practice an ancient tradition t hat teaches there is a single God in this universe who once humbled himself to take Mike on the body of a Eder human to come into this world he created to tell us basically three things: “Fol low me,” is what he taught as he walked his path of healing and praying and “doing the work of the Father.”

“Peace be with you,” is what he instructed the disciples after his death and resurrection.

And finally, “Feed my sheep (Love one another)” was his final instruction before he returned to the Father in heaven.

Today I offer a reminder that there is more to success in this life than destroying your political rivals and more to this country than the economy…

The curious mind of a 3-yearold boy wanders as the black sedan motors down the long highway. I wonder where are we going? It must be someplace special because Uncle Sean has on his fancy suit with all the shiny buttons. Maybe we’re going to the zoo or the amusement park! Looking out the window, he sees a long line of cars fi ling into a huge complex of buildings and acres and acres of trucks and airplanes, so many giant airplanes! The meaningless letters on the whitewashed plywood sign say “Welcome to Dover Air Force Base.”

Hooray, I love big trucks and airplanes! Look, there’s even a row of fi re trucks and police cars everywhere! Slowly they work their way through rows of men in perfect lines, men in fancy suits with shiny buttons like Uncle Sean’s, like the one dad had on the last time he was home. Finally, the car rolls to a stop and another shiny man opens the door for us to get out.

Uncle Sean sweeps me up in his big strong arms and holds me safe and secure while men and women swarm around mom like she’s somebody famous.

She must be famous, there are reporters and cameras taking her picture and everyone is hugging her and shaking her hand and saluting her; this must be a big celebration for

my mom! Is it her birthday? She doesn’t look very happy for a birthday girl. In fact she seems to be crying almost all the time these days. Maybe dad’s going to come out of this crowd to surprise her and make her happy again, the way he always does when he comes home.

I can’t believe that little baby brother of mine is asleep in mom’s arms through all this, this the most excitement I’ve ever seen. When Uncle Sean puts me down to tie my shoe, a stranger reaches down to tussle my hair and says, “Your dad is a real hero, son, don’t you ever forget that.” We stand there on the ocean of pavement for a long time, the sunshine warm from above, my nose twitches from the smell of weed killer carried in the gentle breeze. Loudspeakers drone on about honor and glory and heroes but it is all lost on the two young boys and many of the hundreds of others who surround them this afternoon.

Neither boy will probably remember this day, this gathering, much less the words spoken here. Perhaps it’s just as well. Neither will remember the box they stood before containing traces of their father’s DNA. If anything, they might remember their mother’s faint sobs and streaming tears and the roar of gunfi re shattering the silence...

My brother Dan and his wife, Jane, raised two precocious boys into adolescence near Los Angeles, Calif. Sean, the elder, is now a member of the U.S. Marine Corps. His little brother Andy joined the Air Force and was stationed in Afghanistan.

Two weeks ago Andy received an assignment along with two other Air Force troops to accompany a group of 16 Navy Seals on a dangerous night mission. Together they climbed into a U.S. Chinook helicopter that another young man would soon blow up in mid air. As a Christian, I am comforted by the fact that Andy has found the place of peace and rest promised to those who offer to serve in the name of God and country. Please join me in praying for the young wife he leaves behind and the two precocious young boys (ages 3 years old and 6 months) who will grow up with a folded flag on the mantle in lieu of a father’s love and guidance.

Mike Eder is the pastor at Chaska Moravian Church.

Lives changed through mission trip to El Salvador

BY KIRA AUGUSTINE, PASTOR KRISTIE HENNIG AND JULIE LAVEN

For the fifth summer in a row, Family of Christ Lutheran Church sent a delegation of young people and adults to El Salvador, where we walked in solidarity with members of the Salvadoran Lutheran Church.

The trip lasted 10 days, from July 20 to 30.

We were also blessed with the presence of three wonderful ladies from Trinity Lutheran Church in Long Lake and two young women from Chicago.

Our activities in El Salvador consisted of spending time with the 287 primary, secondary, and university students who are sponsored

by Family of Christ members and friends. Additionally, we

learned about El Salvador’s history, much of it relating to the recent Salvadoran Civil War (1980–1992). We visited museums, massacre sites, universities and other historical places.

Before leaving Minnesota we packed food at Feed My Starving Children in Chanhassen. We had the amazing experience of bringing this food with us to El Salvador.

We served it at Hope House, a homeless shelter in San Salvador that is run by the Salvadoran Lutheran Church.

It was touching and exciting for us to both pack and deliver the food packets, following the food on its whole journey.

Now that we’re home, it can sometimes be difficult to feel God’s presence like we did in El Salvador, but we turn to the

The billboard read: “I am here, God. God is everywhere, talk with Him. He is searching for you, let yourself be found.”

We now know more than

ever that God is always with us. El Salvador has changed our lives forever and we look forward to the surprises and blessings God will reveal to us as we let God fi nd us — at home and wherever we may go.

Style and function: Key elements of today’s kitchen Pot fillers T

he kitchen is the hub of the home, so homeowners are always looking for ways to do more in this vital space, all while keeping it stylish.

One of today’s most popular trends in new and remodeled kitchens is the use of multiple kitchen faucets, which add extra functionality to the room.

“Pot fillers, island faucets and even bar or convenience faucets all help to maximize the room,” says Kevin McJoynt of Danze, a manufacturer of decorative plumbing faucets and fi xtures. “But convenience and functionality aren’t the only two items homeowners are looking at while upgrading their kitchens. Ambiance, decor and style are also top priorities.”

If you’re reconsidering your kitchen’s function and style, consider adding these options into your remodeling plan:

These faucets are located near your stove to provide you with a convenient way to fill a pot without having to carry it to the nearest sink. This saves plenty of back-breaking work and minimizes the likelihood of spills. Pot fillers are commonly found in the restaurant industry and have quickly made their way into private kitchens across the country.

They are available as a wall mount or deck mount. Find a style that matches your appliances and other faucets in the room.

Island faucets Usually acting as second sinks, island faucets help avoid congestion at the main sink and are a great way to increase a kitchen’s workflow. Because island sinks are frequently used for preparation, they are sometimes referred to as prep sinks. Homeowners commonly use this workspace for cutting vegetables,

chilling wine or washing hands prior to a meal. Choose a faucet style and finish that complements the room’s decor and adds an eye-catching decorative piece to an otherwise “ho-hum” island. Danze has several pull-down or pull-out faucets with three functions—spray, stream and pause—giving your island workspace additional functionality.

Bar faucets Also referred to as a convenience sink or a beverage center, this area is typically used for entertaining purposes and is often located on a secondary counter space in the kitchen or adjacent room.

Danze offers a variety of bar faucets, including high-arc options, small-scale faucets and several others. Choose a style that will make this space “entertaining.” Visit Danze.com for more kitchen solutions.

CUBS BASEBALL

Down, but not out ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swub.com

S

i x teams remai n in the hunt for the Class B State Tournament title and the Chaska Cubs are one of them.

“When you get down to six teams, everyone is good. You just got to keep playing your game and anything can happen,” said Chaska catcher Cory Poppitz said.

Baseball is a game of opportunities and Sauk Rapids was the team Sunday to best take advantage of them at Barney Tadsen Field in Brownton.

The Cyclones broke a scoreless tie in the sixth inning, plating four runs, including three on a home run from Scott Lochner in a 5-2 victory over Chaska in the Class B winners’ bracket semifi nals.

The Cubs play in an elimination game Friday against Savage at 5 p.m. in Glencoe.

“We have good pitchi ng depth and if our bats can come around a little bit I think we can make a run here,” Poppitz said. “The farther we get into Saturday and Sunday I like our chances. We just have to win that first one and we’ll start rolling.”

Chaska had an excellent opportunity to score fi rst in the opening stanza against Sauk Rapids. A hit-by-pitch to Cory Glieden, walk to Tony Lane and an error at second base loaded the bases with no outs.

However, Sauk Rapids starter Nick Anderson got out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the first inning without giving up a

run by inducing a Kyle Geason fly out to shallow left and then gloving a Josh Korth shot on the mound and turning it into a double play at fi rst base.

“I got in a bit of a jam, but as a pitcher you get used to being in those situations. I love pressure. I just started working on the small things like throwing strikes and hitting my spots. It just happened that it worked out and we got out of it,” Anderson said.

Chaska had a runner in scoring position only one more time for the game. In total, Anderson allowed only four hits with one walk and 11 strikeouts. Not bad for a No. 2 starter in the state tournament opening weekend.

“I’m a team player. I didn’t mind pitching that second game. Bryce Gapinski threw a great game (Saturday). I was just excited to get back on the bump,” Anderson said. “I didn’t have a game plan. I have a mentality of getting people out.

The fastball was working. They were hitting them at people, which helped me out. You know, if your fastball is working out, you stick with it.”

“But I’ve learned through all of my games, you have to throw something else. Batters are good enough at this level where they’re going to adjust. I started throwing more sliders and off-speed and that seemed to keep the batters off-balance,” Anderson added.

“He was kind of all over the place to begin the game but then he settled down and he got ahead of batters. I don’t think he had a walk after the fi rst inning. When you’re getting ahead, you can throw that

slider and we started chasing,” Poppitz said.

Chaska starter Craig Gralapp battled a scoreless draw with Anderson through five innings, pitching out of a jam in the fi rst inning. He allowed only two hits in setting down 12 of the next 14 batters.

But for Gralapp, who lost for only the second time in his past nine starts, the big blow came in the sixth inning. Paul Schlangen led off with a single up the middle and Travis Carriveau followed suit with a perfectly executed drag bunt up the fi rst base line.

Gralapp got Jeremiah Piepkorn to fly out to center field before Justin Johnson made a nice over-the-head catch in right field for the second out.

Schlangen advanced to third base on the throw. Three pitches later, though, Nate Swan knocked a single to right field for the 1-0.

Justin Johnson was congratulated by teammates after hitting a two-run homer in the ninth inning of Sunday’s 5-2 loss to Sauk Rapids in the second round of the Class B State Tournament.

Carriveau took off on the pitch, forcing second baseman Eric Oscarson to cover the base. The single went through the right-side hole right where the defender was positioned.

Lochner delivered the big blow, hitting an 0-1 offering over the center-field fence for the 4-0 lead.

Swan added an RBI-double in the eighth inning off reliever Pete Ohnsorg for the 5-0 lead.

Johnson roped a two-run homer to right-center in the ninth inning to account for the Cubs’ two runs. It was the fi rst home run for the season for Johnson.

Oscarson was 2-for-3 to lead Chaska. Gralapp gave up seven hits with two strikeouts over seven innings in the losing

effort.

The Cubs reached the winners’ bracket second round with a 2-0 win over Miesville in the nightcap Saturday in Hutchinson. Ryan Seifert was brilliant on the mound, striking out 15 Mudhen batters, including the fi nal four hitters of the game.

“He’s been doing it year-in and year-out. He seems to be getting better with age. He’s such a smart pitcher. He has that confidence that no one can beat him,” Poppitz said of Seifert.

Chaska had only five hits for the game, but took advantage of four Miesville errors.

Greg Lane hit a ground rule double into the ivy on the leftfield fence to put a runner in

scoring position in the third inning. Designated hitter Adam Happ followed with a single past a diving first baseman that scored the game’s fi rst run.

Tony Lane scored on an error in the sixth inning for the second run off Miesville starter Luke Rasmussen, a left-hander from the University of Minnesota. He fi nished with two walks and seven strikeouts.

Seifert was in control the entire game, allowing only two runners on base at the same time in the second inning. With runners at second and third base, Seifert got a pair of strikeouts to end the threat.

Matt Van Der Bosch was the only other Mudhens runner to reach second base in the sixth inning.

CHASKA CROSS COUNTRY

New leaders emerging for Hawks

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Kaila Urick was a runner Chaska cross country coach Scott Stallman could rely on to post a low score. A five-time state participant and Athena Award recipient, Urick is now running for the University of Minnesota this fall.

Urick was ninth at state a year ago and was the runnerup at both the conference and section meets.

Now the Hawks not only have to replace their top runner, but also their emotional and vocal leader.

“I think we have a team that will compete and will compete very well. We lost our frontrunner. You could count on Kaila to be in the top two or three in almost every race. And that is a very low score,” Stallman said. “We’ll be a different team now. We’re going to have to run where the gap between our fi rst and fi fth runners are very minimal if we’re going to score well.”

T he stor y is simi lar for the Chaska boys team, which graduated top runners Spencer Davis and Troy Gallagher, who helped the Hawks reach the Class AA State Meet for the second time in three years last fall. The Hawks took 15th with 383 points.

New leaders are emerging for the boys, including underclassmen Joey Duerr and Spencer Urick.

“It was a tight race for us to get to state. This year we’ll be vastly different with losing Spencer and Troy. But we have two young guys that are going to be in the front pack at almost every race,” said Chaska boys coach Jesse Longley. “You add in the experience from Jake Connealy and Gavin Bjorklund and we like what we have. We don’t really know who that fifth, sixth and seventh runners are going to be, so depending on how fast it takes those guys to catch up to our front guys will tell how our season will go.”

Without Urick, Stallman looks to state-experienced senior Madison Miler and juniors Claire Bulat and Jenna Urick.

The two juniors raced at state

PHOTO BY ERIC KRAUSHAR

Chaska sent the boys cross country team and girls individual Kaila Urick to the Class AA State Meet last fall. Talented youthful runners for the boys, and a balanced team with three former girls state participants, have expectations high for both teams. The team captains are, from left, Dan Drill-Mellum, Jake Connealy and Madison Miler.

READY TO ATTACK

Longley expects big things from the other two as well, Duerr, a freshman, and Urick, an eighth-grader, are both secondyear varsity members. Duerr was 113th at the Class AA State Meet last year, running a team second-best time of 17:16. Urick was fourth on the team with a 123rd-place time of 17:31.

Duerr, Urick, Connealy and Nathan Hewitt all reached the 300-mile plateau for summer miles.

“Our young guys up front are going to surprise some people. They’re going to have tremendous seasons,” said Longley of Duerr and Urick. “Both had very solid summers. The one thing I love the most about both of them is they both love to run. They’re enthusiastic about running. Who knows what the ceiling is for them. We haven’t seen it yet.”

Longley added, “We’ll be in the hunt for conference and section titles, but it will depend on how we will in those fi nal positions.”

BACK FOR ANOTHER RUN as members of the 2008 team, while Miler competed in the Class AA Meet as a freshman in 2007.

“I think we’ve already seen with Madison – she’s been on a state team and has that experience – she never missed a summer training session. For the fi rst time, she’s come into the season more fit. We never have to worry about Claire Bulat.

She’s as solid of a performer as anyone and coming off a track season in which she ended on a high note. She trained hard during the summer and she is probably the most disciplined of our athletes. She’s the most natural leader even as a junior.

And Jenna spent 40 days at 10,000 feet training in Colorado.

She comes in great shape. She’s a hot prospect, and by that, I mean she’ll race well early.

We just have to try to keep her in check to try to endure the entire season. She’s somebody to look forward to.”

Returning juniors Katherine Lowry and Claire Pouliot, along with sophomore Morgan Hendrickson, also competed at the section meet a year ago.

Stallman hopes the Hawks have what it takes to compete in both the Missota Conference and in Section 2A A, which switches venues from Willmar to Hutchinson this season.

Chaska was fourth in the Missota in 2010, while placing third in Section 2AA. “We came within 25 points of the second-place team at the section meet last year and I would expect to challenge for that kind of spot again.

I think Shakopee will come back strong with having Maria Hauger (two-time defending state champion). And the frontrunner has to be Chanhassen.

They have the depth. Not only did they win the varsity conference title, but I think they had a perfect score in the JV conference meet,” Stallman said.

The boys team placed second in both the Missota Conference and in Section 2AA. The Hawks contended with champion Buffalo in 2AA largely based on its top five runners all fi nishing in the top 23. Three of those runners, including Bjorklund, an all-conference performer, return this fall.

Holy Family Catholic enjoyed a successful boys cross country season in 2010, placing seventh in Class A for the second straight season. Individually, Jensen Orlow was seventh with a time of 16:13.2.

The Fire expect even bigger things this fall. The team returns all seven state runners return this season. Along with Orlow, seniors Joe Salz and Weston Holasek and juniors Tony Williams and Liam Wintroath make up the five scoring runners from last year’s Class A State Meet team.

The girls team also was a state participant for the fourth straight season, fi nishing 10th overall with only one senior among the top runners. Sophomore Mol ly Eastman had the Fire’s top finish with a 12th-place time of 15:19.5. Also returning are senior Lauren LeVelle, junior Aly Anton and sophomores Michaela Rasmussen and Julia Orlow.

Holy Family Catholic was the Section 4A champions in the girls meet, while the boys placed second to Minnehaha Academy.

CHASKA GIRLS TENNIS

CHASKA SOCCER

Intensity on the rise for Hawks

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Megan Williams used her fi rst season as the Chaska girls tennis coach to adjust the players to the new program in place.

In year No. 2, the Winona State University graduate sees the patience is starting to pay off.

Almost all of the 20 varsity and junior varsity players attended Williams’ summer tennis camp – a sign that excitement is in the air with Hawk tennis.

“With the division of Chaska and Chanhassen last year, we had to treat it as a learning year. This summer we had a camp and now we’re four weeks ahead coming into the season.

So, my expectations are obviously a bit higher,” Williams said.

When Williams joined the program in 2010, she brought in a solid resume which included four years of playing collegiate tennis at WSU and a year of coaching with the Warriors.

Following her playing days in Winona, the opportunity to lead the women’s team arose with the departure of the coach just before the start of the season. She spent a year coaching Division II tennis before Williams got into student-teaching and eventual landed a job in Chaska.

Williams inherited a program with low numbers, especially in the upper grades.

Having sent one junior, two sophomores and three freshmen to the Section 2AA Individual Tournament in 2010, the Hawks return almost the entire lineup to the court. And that will almost be the case again next year as captain Rachel Meier is the only senior.

“We’re still very young. But I think our intensity is better.

And we’re not spending time getting used to each other. They know what to expect because we’ve built that relationship with each other. Last year we spent so much time going over how I do things and what I expect. I think we’re into it a lot more,” the coach said.

Williams said the summer camp focused on drills and skill development, leaving the fi rst few weeks of practice for match-play strategies and further skill development.

“I feel like we’re picking up right where we left off last year,” the coach said.

Chaska senior Rachel Meier returned a serve on her forehand in a recent practice at the high school. Meier, the team’s captain, is the lone senior on the team. Watching on is seventh-grader Lydia Passolt, who figures to be the No. 1 singles player this season.

Flood, Allie Reineke, Brianne Forbrook and Emma Silkey, who joins Meier as a captain.

Two newcomers to watch are seventh-grader Lydia Passolt and Lauren Willkom, who had a successful season at the junior varsity level last year.

Passolt has already turned heads in the program, showcasing enormous talent despite her young age. Williams has been so impressed this summer, she has declared her the No. 1 singles player to begin the season.

“I didn’t really tell anyone what position they’d be in, but with (Lydia) I did. I told her you’re my No. 1. But I said, ‘Even though you’re a seventh grader, you need to be a role model and you have to push the other girls.’ No one is going to challenge her on this team.

I already had her play three boys and she beat them all. If she works hard, everyone else will work hard,” Williams said.

Passolt is no stranger to playing above her age. She is a multi-sport athlete who plays hockey with older girls.

“I don’t feel one bit that she’s overmatched. When she hits the court, her game-face comes on. A lot of the girls like drills, she loves to play matches. She wants something to challenge

her,” the coach added.

One thing Williams saw last year that she hopes to improve on this year is team confidence. Chaska lost more matches than they won, including in the Missota Conference where the Hawks beat winless Farmington on the road for their only league win.

Wit h t hat i n mi nd, t he Hawks coach tai lored t he schedule to fit the team’s abilities right now.

“We know we can’t beat the Minnetonkas and the Eden Prairies. So we tried to build our schedule to play teams we think we can compete with to build confidence in all of the players,” Williams said.

One of the new dates on the schedule was a match last Friday against D.C. Everest of Wausau, Wisc., which just happened to be the hometown of Williams. The coach on the other side of the net – none other than Williams’ mom.

Chaska edged D.C. Everest to win the six-team Evergreen Invitational Saturday with 29 team points. Werch and Meier claimed the No. 1 doubles title, while Willkom went 3-0 on the day to win at No. 4 singles.

Werch and Meier defeated Jenna Towers and Macy Porlier of Lakeland 6 -4, 7-5 in the top doubles title match.

Willkom added a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Maddi Kuhn of Medford.

Also placing second were Silkey at No. 1 singles and Carly Lubansky at No. 3 singles, who both won round-robin brackets with 2-0 records.

Rounding up the team score with 2-1 records and thirdplace finishes were Reineke at No. 2 singles, Flood and Forbrook at No. 2 doubles and Kadie Engler and Maddy Ryden at No. 3 doubles.

NEW LOOK FOR FIRE Holy Family Catholic won the Minnesota River Conference girls tennis title thanks to a strong senior class. The Fire fi nished the 2010 regular season with a 14-3 mark, which included eight wins and no losses in the MRC. Six of the top 10 players from a season ago have graduated, leaving Coach Jim Dwyer with the task of fi lling in the gaps.

The roster shows nine seniors, six juniors, three sophomores, five freshmen and one seventh-grader.

Also new this year is a section switch for the Fire. HFC will compete in Section 2AA along the likes of Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, Chaska and Chanhassen.

WEST METRO MIRACLE LEAGUE

Giving back to the community This summer, a group of current and former Chanhassen youth baseball and softball players volunteered as “buddies” for the West Metro Miracle League of Minnetonka.

It was the first group from Chanhassen Youth Baseball and Softball that were able to share in the buddy volunteer opportunity. These young boys and girls volunteered and assisted players from the Miracle League’s Nanotech Rays by helping them enjoy and play a game of baseball.

The West Metro Miracle League is a charitable organization that provides children in the west metro, ages 3–19, with any cog nitive and /or physical challenges an op portunity to play baseball.

WMML is located and fully integrated in the Bennett Family Ballpark in Minnetonka at Killebrew Field, a special padded field that affords the players a safe environment for baseball.

This year the league had 10 teams and 135 players – a number that has rose from four teams and 33 players when the league began in 2008.

“To play their complete season, the leag ue needs over 1,000 buddies, so it was a great opportunity for the Chanhassen players to help the league and give back to the game,” said Craig Stacey, a parent of a Chanhassen youth baseball player. “Being a buddy consists of helping the player run the bases, throwing the ball to the correct base, and completing a baseball game. They might also provide some coaching, friendship, support, and overall encouragement. It’s true teamwork. During the middle of the game, the buddies also provide some entertainment and sing ‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame.’”

Chanhassen youth baseball players Brennan Hurt and Jon Patterson provide some coaching for their West Metro Miracle League players. Players from the association had an opportunity to be “buddies” with the WMML’s Nanotech Rays this summer.

Chanhassen youth baseball and softball players gathered with the West Metro Miracle League’s Nanotech Rays during a recent game. Chanhassen “buddies” were front row from left, Jack Garrison and Jon Patterson. Middle row: Patrick Newell, Andrew Hicks and Justin Stacey. Back row: Hope Stacey, Jack Beil, Jake Maus, and Brennan Hurt.

To cap the event this year, Chanhassen Youth Softball and Baseball made a finan-

cial donation to the Miracle League to help them continue to grow and develop this great

Two teams, one community

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Junior Colette St. John used the word “community” when talking about the new Chaska soccer program, which features both the girls and boys varsity teams under the direction of one head coach.

And that is exactly what Pat Prindle, the new Director of Soccer for Chaska High School is trying to develop.

“Like we told the teams, we’re playing with 110, not 11 or 22. We wanted to create a community, because that’s what it’s all about. When you come into our stadium, it’s a tough place to play. The fans fi ll the place for the boys, and we want that for the girls, too. Both teams are extremely talented. I believe the boys will have a couple allstate players and the girls could potentially, too, even though they are still very young,” said Prindle, a former standout at the University of Minnesota.

The goal of the hire is to enhance and promote the soccer program in the community through one leader. The Director position oversees both the boys and girls programs at Chaska.

“We are following a model that has been very successful for some local college pro grams,” said Chaska Athletic Director Troy Stein. “As director, Prindle will oversee the entire soccer program.”

“Having a soccer community as a whole is nice,” said St. John, one of three captains for the girls squad. “Being around the guys and learning things from them, and them learning things from us is great. We look over at the guys working hard and it pushes us to be better.”

Prindle turned around a struggling Roseville Area program before spending a year at Chanhassen High School.

He took over the boys program a year ago, and will now try to continue to build what has been started with the two programs.

“Every coach that it’s in the program, which is eight with hopefully a ninth soon, has a role in all of the teams. They all do such a great job and it makes my job easier to focus on the kids and making them better.

We’re all on the same page and we’re all here to build a community,” Prindle said.

The boys team is coming off a 6-10 season – a four-win improvement from 2009 – which included a 2-1 win over thenranked No. 10 Lakeville South.

The Hawks revenged a regular season loss to Waconia with a playoff victory, 3-0, before falling to Benilde-St. Margaret in the Section 6A second round.

“I tell them, ‘Put in what you want to receive.’ If they want to win big and play big, they have to train big. We don’t run. It’s all done in the game. Wins come by the effort you put in. You win the games you should win and you play close with the more contested matches and you pull out a few tight ones like we did last year,” Prindle said.

Captains Troy Ewers and Willy Perez said the goals are simple this year.

“Hopefully we’ll build on last year and keep on improving as a team and maybe win the conference and the section,” Ewers said.

“We’d like to win more than half of our games. And we’d like to win more than one section game. We’ve been able to win that fi rst game, but not the second,” said Perez.

Prindle is excited for his sec-

ond season with the boys and believes the pieces are in place for a successful season.

“All three of my captains – Junior (DeLeon), Troy and Willy – are very talented. And we have some really good upand-coming players that we kept down with their classes to build them and bring them up with these guys. A lot of these guys are juniors. All of them bring their game to the field,” said Prindle, who said the boys program added a team this year and will play all four levels.

For the girls, last year was a rebui lding year, with as many as eight freshmen hitting the field at one time. Chaska fi nished with a 4-13-1 record, improving one game from the 2009 season.

“All we can do is get better.

There’s no looking back to last year. That already happened,” St. John said. “We want to be role models for the girls. We have to be positive influences on them because we are so young.”

“This is a big year for the upperclassmen and captains.

We’re still a young team and we’re learning a completely new system. So we need to be there for each other and support one another positively,” said Sarah Wagman, a fourthyear senior captain.

While Prindle has only been around the girls team for more than a week, he already notices a difference in the attitudes.

“We’re starting to see the excitement level rise with the girls. We’re getting girls that see their friends play and they want to play, too,” he said. “The best part I like is this year’s seniors respect the younger players and everyone on the team.

They see it’s a new program with a new coach and they see the expectation to be better and they’re ready to have fun and enjoy this season.”

Wagman said it’s about setting the right example on and off the field in building a community among the team.

“My goals for the year are to be a good leader on the field and lead off the field as well.

On the field is easy – being a midfielder you direct the team, But it’s just as important to be a leader in the classroom in getting good grades. As a team, we’d like to win more games and continue to improve as a whole,” she said.

Wag ma n added t hat t he team wanted to win a section game, something that hasn’t happened since 2008.

“The shirts that we wear say “Chaska Soccer” and we are like one team,” said girls captain Cassidy Brougham.

“It’s not just a bunch of teams, but we’re all one together.”

Together as one – that’s what a community is all about.

FIRE BEEF UP SCHEDULE Holy Family Catholic returns 17 boys varsity players from the school’s most successful team ever, so expectation are high for the Fire soccer team.

“We are playing an incredibly difficult schedule, including Apple Valley and Prairie Seeds Academy, the two state champions from last year, in addition to Edina, St. Thomas Academy, Orono, St. Louis Park and many other strong teams,” said Fire boys coach Andrew Witchger.

HFC returns key players in seniors Jack Parker (midfielder), Peter Mullen (midfielder), Bob Pohlen (defense), and Peter Schumer (defense). The Fire were 12-3-4 in 2010, losing in the second round of the section.

OUTDOORS

Fishing around for grizzly photos I woke with a massive headache. The kind of pain in your head that hurts so bad it wakes you from a deep sleep. This is not uncommon for me when jet-lagged in wet cold weather. I could hear strong winds buffeting my tent walls. I thought to myself at least it’s not raining.

I rummaged around in the dark for my watch to check the time — 4 a.m. Lying in my sleeping bag I couldn’t wait for the sun to come up so I could get up and get moving. Before I could complete my thought I could hear the first rain drops hitting the tent roof. Dang, I can deal with the wind but the rain is defi nitely not what I wanted.

Getting up at 6 a.m. I put on my very damp clothing and stepped out of my tent and into the wilderness of Katmai National Park in Alaska. It was a typical summer day in August — high winds, temperatures in the 40s and 50s and light rain.

Ahhh, the life of a wildlife photographer doesn’t get much better than this. No cell phone service, no e-mails, no TV, just bears and wilderness.

I came to Katmai, a 4.3 million acre park in southwest Alaska, to photograph bears. The coastal brown bears of Katmai are legendary. I’ve been working on a new book about bears and there is no better place to get up close and personal with these huge land predators. The night before I was fortunate enough to have some sunshine and decent weather but today is threatening to be a total washout.

After a quick breakfast, we headed out on the half mile walk down the wind-swept beach to a small creek where t he sa l mon were r u n ni ng.

There are five different kinds

of salmon in Alaska and three of them spawn here at Katmai.

Just days before our arrival, the salmon started to build at the mouth of the creek out in the ocean and now they were running up the creek. The ocean tides play a huge role in the activity of the salmon, which in turns plays a bigger role in the activity of the bears.

The bears come down from the mountain just to fish this creek and I am here for the bears.

I am joined by two other photographers on this adventure.

Two days ago we flew into the bear camp in a small bush plane landing on the beach. After getting settled in we hit the beach looking for the bears. We were fortunate enough to photograph a couple bears as they attempt to catch fish. Each bear has its own unique way of catching fish.

Some sit calmly along the shore watching for the dorsal fins of the salmon to break the water’s surface before charging into the water. Others walk on their hind legs while surveying the river from a higher angle for fish.

Others just run up and down the creek in hopes of scaring a fish up and out of the water.

But now it’s raining. We head

out with heavy duty rain gear for ourselves and the camera gear. Even though the winds are gusting to 35 to 40 mph and the rain stings like insect bites when it hits exposed skin, we are determined to photograph these bears. Near where the creek enters the ocean a single bear is lying in the sand facing the creek. It looks to be waiting in a crouched position ready to pounce but actually it’s resting while waiting for the next fish.

We set up with a decent angle to catch some fishing action. Sure enough, it suddenly gets up and rushes into the freezing cold water. Undaunted by the cold water, the bear makes several runs up and down the creek bed chasing fish. Our cameras are smoking as we capture some great action shots in the rain.

The bear gives up and heads back to the shore where it resumes the same position ready to charge again. This goes on for a while and the bear never catches a fish so it wanders off toward the ocean surf.

We head up stream to see if we can fi nd some more bears.

Sure enough, we come across a mother and a 1-year-old cub.

These bears were patrolling the banks of the creek occasionally entering the water. They too are looking for a fish meal. We managed to capture a few nice images of these bears before they wander off too far away for our lens.

At the end of the day we head back to camp to dry out some gear and get a warm meal.

For the next three days the rain and wind continues. As I write this we are supposed to fly out of this camp tomorrow but the weather looks bad. The small airplanes that carried us

While in detention at school, Seaweed, played by Kasono Mwanza, teaches some dance moves to Tracy Turnblad, played by Therese Walth, who was making her Chanhassen Dinner Theatres’ debut.

‘Hairspray’ more than holds its own

BY RICHARD CRAWFORD editor@chanvillager.com

O

Jay Albright as Wilbur, left, and David Anthony Brinkley as Edna, play Tracy Turnblad's wacky parents.

n the surface, ‘Hairspray’ is a 1960’s musical comedy that tells the tale of how Tracy Turnblad is able to capture the love of heartthrob Link Larkin.

On the simplest of levels the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres’ new main stage offering scores high on the entertainment quotient with notable performances from veteran and new cast members alike.

But the show also explores a variety of racial and societal taboos that make this much more interesting fare.

“Hairspray” follows the journey of plump Tracy Turnblad, played by CDT newcomer Therese Walth, who longs to dance on TV’s “Corny Collins Show” and meet the handsome Link Larkin, played by Ben Bakken.

Despite facing obstacles from home, school and TV show cast members who make fun of her weight, Tracy is able to land a role on the Corny Collins’ cast.

That sets the stage for Tracy to address racial injustices and help integrate the TV show.

There are plenty of whacky characters to help and hinder along

‘Hairspray’ What: The Broadway musical, winner of eight Tony Awards, now showing on the Main Stage at Chanhassen Dinner Theatres.

When: Performed eight times weekly through January.

Tickets: $59-$79.

Information: Call the theater box office at (952) 934-1525 or go online to www.ChanhassenDT.com

the way, including her overweight mom, played in drag by David Anthony Brinkley.

Julianne Mundale shines in the role of detestable Velma Von Tussle, who as the former “Miss Baltimore Crabs” does everything in her power to make sure her daughter is chosen as the next teen queen and, in a Freudian slip, insists that the TV show continues to do “the white thing.”

Michael Gruber also is perfectly suited to the hip and snappy role of Corny Collins, who helps pull strings for Tracy along the way.

The singing and dancing in the show was vibrant throughout.

Kasono Mwanza, Seaweed, and Aimee K. Bryant, Motormouth Maybelle, lead the way on the singing front with their renditions of “Run and Tell That” and “I Know

Where I’ve Been.”

While the deeper societal flaws aren’t explored in documentary-like fashion, this is a musical comedy after all. One only needs to look at David Anthony Brinkley’s garb to put things in perspective.

There is lots of colorful costuming, fun dance numbers and songs that you’ll be singing long after the closing number.

The final cast number, “You Can’t Stop the Beat,” is a highlight with this summary nugget: “You can try to stop the paradise we’re dreaming of … but you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love.”

Ultimately, as director Michael Brindisi points out in his director’s note, the story “is a fairy tale, but it can come true. Deep down in the soul of every human there is ‘a Tracy.’”

Your heart will ache and jump for joy along with ‘The Help’ Based on the book by Kathryn Stockett, “The Help” takes place in Mississippi in the early 1960s.

A well-educated, white college graduate, Eugenia aka Skeeter (Emma Stone), comes home from college to find her beloved “nanny” or “maid,” Constantine (Cicely Tyson) is nowhere to be found.

Skeeter has a fresh perspective on her other high-class socialite friends and family and begins to take notice of how “the help” or the African American maids are treated.

After getting a job at the local newspaper, Skeeter decides to write about “the help,” which becomes a book and turns the whole town into a frenzy. Although Skeeter is technically the main protagonist, the maids (led by Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer) are what make “The Help” magical.

Jeffrey

RAY HOLLYWOOD ENDING

THE HELP (PG-13) (OF 5)

Their portrayals are intimate and emotional. Their stories are

touching, beautiful, sorrowful and yet so profound. The picture painted of the South isn’t a pretty one, when integration was a new concept and the lines drawn between blacks and whites were thick. When ignorance was at its peak and hatred was hiding behind every corner. Still, somehow, these beautiful African American women had hope for a change and for a better future, and courage enough to make a difference.

The best films, in my opinion, make you laugh, cry and leave you with a morsel of wisdom or inspiration when the credits begin to roll. The characters are so real, so honest that you sincerely care about them and your heart aches or jumps for joy at their every sorrow or victory. When you leave the movie theater, you’re left thinking

about it long after it’s over.

“The Help” is enriching and well organized. I was transfixed within the first scene and it gripped me to the very end. The characters have so much depth and insight, that you sincerely love them, or in some cases, hate them. There were numerous times that I laughed out loud and other tender moments that made me shed a tear. All the actresses did such a wonderful job in making their characters real, that their emotions were dripping from every scene. The wisdom the maids carried with them resonated in my mind and I’m still thinking about it.

All in all, “The Help” is a fantastic movie. I can’t think of one thing to criticize about it. It’s a film message needed even today, that everyone, regardless of race, deserves love, respect and equality.

Please, do yourself a favor and see “The Help.” You’ll love it.

He highlighted the projects they have completed in the past. He noted their current works includes

water sampling, carp management, reaching out to schools, working with DNR on milfoil and working with lake associations.

Chair Maluchnik stated he appreciated Olson’s willingness to serve on the Board.

Dan Koziolek, Community Social Services, requested the Board approve converting a social worker III position to two part-time positions. He stated this action would allow them to quickly fill a position and to be in the best position to get maximum third party revenue. He stated the previous incumbent has expressed an interest in coming back half time and has experience to oversee the work they are doing.

He indicated they would make the other half of the position a .6 social worker II position.

It’s an ‘Inside Job’ at the library Two of the library’s interesting documentaries include “Inside Job” and “Supersize Me.” “Inside Job” This film received a 2010 best Documentary Feature Academy Award, in addition to several other awards. Director Charles Ferguson has done an admirable job of making the fi nancial mess we have found ourselves in understandable, dividing this film into five parts.

He explains the insane ways the fi nancial industry was deregulated in the 1980s. Mergers created financial monsters.

By 2000 there were only five major investment banks, two fi nancial conglomerates, and three securitized insurance companies.

People were trading all sorts of ridiculous things – bad debt (subprime loans) and also insurance against the failure of subprime loans-there are a lot of acronyms: CDOs, CDSs….

The whole mess is very confusing.

Many people were making huge profits as the economy faltered. Ferguson interviewed f i n a nci a l a n a lyst Nou r iel Roubini, George Soros, Eliot Spitzer, Charles Morris, and Barney Frank, among others.

The fi lm is narrated by actor Matt Damon.

this fi lm, graphically describing fi lmmaker Morgan Spurlock’s transformation after just a month of McDonald’s fast food.

He weighed 185 pounds when he started, gaining nearly 25 pounds and raising his cholesterol level to 230. It took him 14 months to lose the weight.

His rules: For 30 days he can’t eat or drink anything that isn’t on McDonald’s menu; he must eat three square meals a day, he must eat everything on the menu at least once and supersize his meal if asked.

He also interviews a host of experts on fast food and a number of regular folk to try and fi nd out why 37 percent of Americans are now overweight.

CITY OF CHASKA Motion by Councilmember BOE, Second by Councilmember FORD THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHASKA DO ORDAIN: Section I. Rezoning. The boundaries of the Zoning Districts as established by Ordinance No. 773 and as shown on the Zoning Map of Chaska, Minnesota are hereby amended as follows: The following described real estate is hereby rezoned from Planned Residential District No. 54 (PRD-54) to Planned Residential District No. 58 (PRD-58) for all of Blocks 1, 2 and 3 and Outlots A, B, C, D and E all in the plat of Chevalle 10th Addition, Carver County, Minnesota.

Section II. PRD-58 District regulations. Permitted uses and regulations applicable to the PRD-58 District shall be as follows: A. Intent The applicant in this development, GreenSpace, LLC, is proposing an alternative development scenario in the greenbelt area, which is a rural cluster development on municipal sewer and water.

The proposal rather than utilizing a strict adherence to the numbers of housing units (4/40) as the primary factor on whether the greenbelt is being conformed to, utilizes other factors that were used to develop the greenbelt as the primary factor in determining compliance with the intent of the greenbelt, as articulated in the Permanent Rural Area/Greenbelt Policies in Chapter 3 of the 2020 Comprehensive Plan.

In particular is the notion that strict adherence to just the numbers portion (4/40) of the greenbelt concept does not address its primary purpose, which is first and foremost to manage viewsheds coming into the City at key entrance locations.

Secondarily, to better preserve and protect valuable open space and natural resources.

• Rural cluster development in the Greenbelt has several common design themes.

B. Chevalle Development Master Plan C. Homeowner’s Association D. Private Open Space E. Public Open Space F. Detached Single Family The following described real estate shall be limited in its use to detached Single Family all of Blocks 1, 2 and 3 and Outlot E, all in the plat of Chevalle 10th Addition, Carver County, Minnesota.

Section III. Effective Date.

This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its date of passage, adoption, and publication according to law.

Passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Chaska, Minnesota this 15th day of August, 2011.

Marti and Abraham tin w worked together on the book “Hunter Run.” Critics er’s exp expect his work on th series to garthis ner an award.

“Cryoburn,” by Lois McMaster Bujold The 14th in the “Vorkosigan saga. Spy and Imperia l Auditor Mi les Vorkosigan is astounded by the depth of the corruption in the cryonics industry on the planet Kibou-daini. After being drugged and escaping a kidnapping, Miles is aided by a 12-year-old boy whose mother was frozen illegally. Critics ccable praised Bujold’s “impeccable world building.”

“The Hypnotist,” by Lars Kepler This thriller claims to be as suspenseful as “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” and boy, does it deliver. Swedish author Lars Kepler is a husband and wife team, actually. They have created a fantastic bunch of characters, set in Sweden, with horrific events impacting their lives at a terrifying rate.

I could not put it down, reading the 500-plus page book in three days.

“Jane Wheel” series, by Sharon Sloan Fiffer A customer asked for a mystery series where the main character was a collector, a picker, who haunted rummage and estate sales looking for fi nds.

Her husband was a geologist, gone a lot; and her best friend owned an antique store. She lived somewhere in the Midwest and had a crazy mother.

After much searching – I worked with Novelist, one of our databases – I found it. The series is by Sharon Sloan Fiffer. We do not still own all the books in the series, but we are able to interlibrary loan them from another library in Minnesota.

They sounded so good, I decided to request them as well.

The fi rst book is called “Killer Stuff”; the one we own is called “Hollywood Stuff.”

“The Accident,” by Linwood Barclay Barclay has penned another terrifying and complicated thriller. His books focus on ordinary people, people like you and I, and the horrible things that can happen. The Accident is set in suburban Connecticut, and focuses on the Garber family and their friends and neighbors.

Glen Garber’s wife is killed in a strange auto accident, found drunk with her car sprawled across a freeway exit. She dies, a two people in and th car that hit the h are killed as her w well.

Glen and his yo young daughter Ke are devastatKelly ed not aware that ed; Sh Sheila even had a dr drinking problem n wou ld ever a nd dr drink and drive.

T he cr u mbli ng eco economy has devast astated the town, with people struggling to fi nd creative ways to make ends meet. Several of Sheila’s friends have gone over the line, getting involved with selling fake designer purses and generic prescription drugs made in China.

What seem like minor crimes escalate out of control when $67,000 in cash is lost. Did Sheila have it when she crashed? Will people be killed for it? What led to Sheila’s death- was it REALLY an accident? Garber tries his best to protect his daughter and his business from neighbors he thought he knew…. Every book I have read by him has been outstanding. His titles include: Never Look Away, Too Close to Home, No time for Goodbye and Fear the worst.
