A couple options included raising the Highway 41 river crossing in Chaska or the Highway 101 river crossing in Shakopee. The study determining where the crossing will be improved isn’t expected to be released until October. However, officials may have already

received their biggest surprise – traffic through downtown Chaska has dropped – down, down, down. “I was shocked by how much of a decrease it’s been,” said City Engineer Bill Monk. In a 2007 MnDOT traffic study, 18,500 vehicles traveled along High-

way 41 through downtown Chaska every day. However, the numbers in a 2009 study, which MnDOT is using to decide which river crossing to floodproof, 12,500 vehicles headed through Chaska – a 6,000 vehicle drop. “It’s a

The Highway 41 bridge over the Minnesota River has gotten a lot less busy over the last few years. It was pictured on Monday – about 24 feet lower than the late March crest that closed the road.

VOLKSFEST WAS ROLLING Spectators hustle out of the path of Team Salon Spatoria as it muscles its way to the finish line in the Victoria Volksfest Bed Race, at the sixth annual Volksfest and Art Fair. The bed races attracted 12 teams this year, including youngsters and teens representing District 112 and Holy Family Catholic High School. For more photos of the downtown Victoria event, see page 9.

Give Joyce Sutphen a handful of zucchini and a basket of apples and you can be sure she won’t let them go to waste. She’ll bake up an apple pie or a loaf of zucchini bread to make the best of the produce she was gifted. “I feel a responsibility to do something with them,” she explained. It’s not so different with words. As a poet, Sutphen knows not to let moments of inspiration pass by.

More students at most area high schools BY RICHARD CRAWFORD editor@chanvillager.com

As the school doors fly open for the start of the school year, how many students will enter? The economy, open enrollment, demographics all factor in to the student bodies at local public and private schools. O ne dy n a mic t h at h a s b e en closely tracked is the balance be-

tween Chanhassen and Chaska high schools. When Chanhassen High School opened in 2009, there were no seniors, which tilted enrollment numbers to Chaska High School. Last school year saw the first graduating class from Chanhassen High School, and also saw total enrollment at Chanhassen eclipse Chaska High School. The District 112 school board has stated a desire to keep the schools

relatively balanced. Although the gap is widening slightly this year, part of the reason for that is a shift of 50 students from the district’s Alternative Learning Program, which will be based at Chanhassen High School. The program assists students in the completion of required and elective classes on an as needed basis.

Congressman wrestles the ‘800 pound gorilla’ FORREST ADAMS fadams@swpub.com

JOIN THE CHAT

Republican U.S. Rep. John Kline said Chanhassen and other local cities are “almost as good as Lakeville.” That’s where he lives. Kline made the comment with regard to the recent Top 10 ranking Chanhassen received from Money Magazine. He told the SouthWest Metro Chamber of Commerce audience, which included city representatives from Victoria, Chaska, Chanhassen, and Cologne, that he thought they were “all in the Top 10.” Kline was speaking at SouthWest chamber’s monthly membership luncheon at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska on Aug. 24. Kline ran through a list of issues the federal government is dealing with, none of which would surprise anybody who pays even scant attention to national news. The theme of his talk was this: “We need to rethink how Washington

spends your money.” Charts with talking points and graphics on them illustrated the points Kline was making. He defended his vote to raise the federal debt ceiling, saying: “Congress has never not raised the debt ceiling.” He referred to the debt as “the 800-pound gorilla in the room, or elephant, whichever metaphor you want to use.” Debt and spending, taxes and regulation, unemployment and federal government spending are typically popular topics when Kline speaks to crowds in Carver County. This time was no exception. He took questions at the end of the talk, but most of them seemed intent on determining how the country

Old water plant may become food shelf BY MARK W. OLSON editor@chaskaherald.com

The city of Chaska is considering remodeling its well house building and leasing it to the Bountiful Basket Food Shelf. The Bountiful Basket Food Shel f has bou nced a rou nd Chaska a couple times – fi rst at a Village Road location, and now at the old Snyders Drug building, at the Highway 41/ County Road 61 intersection. According to City Administ rator Mat t Pod h radsky, the nonprofit, which operates under the umbrella of the CAP Agency, serves over 1,000 people monthly in the community. The well house, at 1600 Bavaria Road, once functioned as Chaska’s primary water treatment center. The water treatment functions moved to a nearby building a few years ago, but the building still houses a well, as well as the nonprofit Love INC offices. Podhradsky told the council about the option at a Monday

Murder case hearing pushed to September

night work session. The city is considering a 10-year lease, with two five-year renewable options for Bountiful Basket. The lease would be $ 2,000 a month – a flat rate for the fi rst three years, then an increase of 2 percent every year after. The well house needs to remain functioning to hold the well, Podhradsky said, but is in need of a new roof. Remodeling the building to accommodate Bountiful Basket, including fixing the roof, would cost $450,000. Podhradsky said $130,000 would come from the city’s water operating fund to replace the roof. The remaining funds would be covered by the Bountiful Basket rent, if the nonprofit stays in the building for its original 10-year lease, plus another five-year term. Other than the cost of the roof, with debt service, the city would pay $ 398,000 to remodel the food shelf, and would receive $400,308 from Bountiful Basket over 15 years. Pod h radsky wa r ned t he

council that there’s always a chance the nonprofit wouldn’t renew its lease. The SouthWest Chamber of Commerce didn’t exercise an option to c ont i nue r ent i n g spac e at the Chaska History Center, he noted. If the council gives the goahead, Bountiful Basket could be in the building by January, Podhradsky said. C ou nci lor Ch ri s Schu l z asked whether the building was made available to other tenants – an issue that came up in 2008 when Love INC moved into the building. At that time, the council directed city staff to develop a policy for leasing city buildings that would allow other groups similar opportunities. Podhradsky said during the years the building has been vacant, several groups have expressed interest in the building – notably the Carver County Community Development Agency and a group of parents, who wanted to turn the building into a youth cen-

ter. However, none of the arrangements panned out.

EMPLOYEE SALARIES T he cit y reviewed its “2012-2016 General Fund Financial Forecast” on Monday night. A mong the assump tions are that city operating costs will increase 1 percent a year. Personnel costs were forecast to increase 2 percent in 2012; 2.25 percent in 2013; and 2.5 percent for 2014-2016. Benefits are forecast to increase 6 percent per year. The council has yet to formally discuss city employee sa la ries for t he upcomi ng budget and the personnel cost estimates, a political hot potato, resulted in some caveats from officials. “I’m trying to make it clear … this is a planning document,” Podhradsky said. Mayor Mark Windschitl st ressed t hat t he nu mbers were a forecast. Cou nci lor Scott Mi l la rd asked if the forecast set a precedent.

Work Session Also discussed at its Aug. 29 work session: The council’s input on the downtown master plan has been incorporated into the final draft, which will be released in the next couple weeks. Two people have expressed “serious” interest in purchasing the city’s C.P. Klein mansion, including one who would use it for a home, as well as small weddings and recitals.

Podhradsky said that one of the questions he faces is “How do we keep costs low?” One way is keeping employees from leaving, he said. The city will set its preliminary tax levy on Sept. 12; hold a truth in taxation meeting on Dec. 5; and approve the fi nal 2012 tax levy on Dec. 19.

Jesse James Rogers was back in Carver County Court Aug. 24. Rogers faces charges of second- deg ree murder r e l at e d t o the fatal stabbing of 35-year-old Chaska resident Jason Foster outside of Kelley’s Bar on June 3. Rogers, Jesse 32, of MinRogers neapolis, was scheduled to have an omnibus hearing (which determines what evidence is admissible at trial) in front of Judge Richard Perkins, but the hearing was continued until next month due to outstanding reports that both the prosecuting and defense attorneys were interested in. “At this point, we cannot sit down and have a serious conversation on this case,” Rogers’ attorney John Torres told the court. Both Torres and Carver County Attorney Mark Metz are waiting on the autopsy report, the coroner’s investigation a nd DNA forensics. The omnibus was rescheduled for the afternoon of Sept. 27. Perhaps giving an indication as to what direction his defense case is headed, Torres noted that he had submitted some fi les to the cou r t rega rdi ng sel f de fense. Rogers appeared brief ly in court, remaining handcu f fed behi nd Plexig las. He acknowledged a large contingent of people in court to support him with a couple nods of the head. One supporter fl ashed him a peace sign before exiting the courtroom.

EDITORIAL

Minnesota’s poet Early last week, Gov. Mark Dayton named Chaska resident Joyce Sutphen Minnesota’s poet laureate. What a wonderful choice. Sutphen’s publishers accurately sum up the poet. “Joyce Sutphen may well be the most self-effacing poet I know, which is surprising as one considers the strength and accomplishment of her writing. Her poetry is kind and gentle and questioning, but also deeply underwritten by tradition and craft,” said Scott King, of Red Dragonfly Press. “Joyce is an extraordinary talent whose poetry combines a contemporary rural sensibility with her knowledge of Shakespearean sonnets. Joyce will be a magnificent poet laureate for Minnesota because of her dedication as a teacher, as a passionate listener, and a friend of our Minnesotan landscape,” said Jim Perlman, of Holy Cow! Press. As Perlman al ludes, Sutphen

draws on Minnesota roots for much of her poetry. (Who else could write poems called “Polka Revival” or “Picking Rocks” or “Rhubarb”?) Her writing is concise and beautiful. With just a few well-placed words, she paints scenes everyone understands. While Sutphen’s poetry is intelligent, it’s also accessible – something that is crucial to being the state’s poetry ambassador. Those who run screaming at the word “poem” because of bad English class memories need to give it another shot. Head to a bookstore or library and pick up one of Sutphen’s five books. Step away from the phone, the TV, the computer. Crack open one of Sutphen’s books and read a poem. You’ll feel like you took a deep bre at h du r i n g a br i sk aut u m n breeze.

GUEST COMMENTARY

We want green lawns, not lakes BY BILL OLSON

We want our lawns to be lush and green, not our lakes. Poor lawn care practices are a big contributor to pollution and algae growth in lakes and ponds. Bill Lawn items Olson like leaves, grass clippings, pet waste and fertilizers can wash into water bodies if they are not properly disposed of. Those materials can give off nutrients as they decay in the water. Excess nutrients cause green, weedridden lakes, lower water quality, reduced navigation lanes and can decimate fish populations. In short, they mean less enjoyment of our state’s excellent water resources — including those in the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. How can you help while taking care of your lawn this summer and fall? First and foremost, keep organic matter, fertilizer and other material from washing down storm drains, which lead to our lakes and streams. Leave grass clippings on the lawn (they’re a cleaner replacement for fertilizer) and sweep them up if they fall on the sidewalk, driveway or street. Mow your lawn away from the street and compost grass clippings and leaves. Throw away or bury pet waste. It contains both phosphorus and harmful bacteria that makes lakes and streams unsafe. Make sure loose dirt stays put by installing edging around plants, reseeding, planting ground cover, or

using wood shavings or mulch. Direct downspouts toward the lawn, where the nutrients from your roof and gutters will be appreciated instead of washed into storm sewers. Sweep up excess fertilizer and don’t apply it before a storm or on frozen ground. Fertilizers containing phosphorus have long been a major contributor to weedy lakes. Thanks to a state law enacted in 2002, Minnesota became the first state in the nation to ban the use of phosphorus fertilizers, with exceptions for soils that are shown to need it, or for seeding or laying sod. Phosphorus-free varieties are now widely available. Most Minnesota soil has enough phosphorus for a healthy lawn, so you don’t need it in your fertilizer. If you think it is necessary for your soil, tests are available for $15 per sample through the University of Minnesota’s Soil Testing Laboratory. Late August and September are the most effective times for fertilizing your lawn. The same goes for seeding, sodding, aerating and dethatching. Wherever you live, you are a part of a watershed. Our watershed district alone covers 181 square miles. So while working to keep your yard beautiful, remember that you don’t need to live near a body of water to harm it by causing excessive plant growth and pollution, or to help keep it blue, clear, and fun. Bill Olson, of Victoria, represents Carver County on the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Board of Managers and is the city of Victoria’s representative on the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District.

THANKS

Mitakuye Oyasin: We are all related Thanks Chaska. The recent Pow Wow held at McKnight Park in Chaska was a huge success, thanks in no small part to my friend Wally Ripplinger and all the others that helped out so much. A special thanks to Nate Bostrom, of the Jonathan Board, who gave so very much and was always available for those special runs for food, ice, drinks, etc. Over 500 folks attended the Pow Wow and all went away impressed, as far as I could tell. None of this would have happened without the tremendous support of the Jonathan Board, and the city of ‘Chaske’ and all the other sponsors. I have been a resident here for over 30 years and I can truly say that I am very proud of how far we have come. I remember the days when, 20 years ago, we in the Native community fought for recognition on the mounds issue. The city joined in with us and we have created a true sense of what “our” town is all about. We hear so much in the news about how cities and communities are struggling because of budgets, etc. But we all need to remember that we have one Creator only and that direction will always lead us onward.

As a descendant of the Mic Mac Tribe of Quebec I am proud to say I am a resident of this town of Chaska and I will always think of it as my hometown. Thanks to Mark Olson from the paper, John Siegfried for helping to put up some tents and my special friends Dell and Andy for making this all work. See you next year. Mitakuye Oyasin: “We are all related.”

Crowd was nearly 2,000 It was another fantastic August evening for the city of Chaska’s annual Touch a Truck. With free refreshments, carnival games, music and, of course, lots of trucks, this event continues to be a summertime favorite for area families. With a crowd size of nearly 2,000, there was something for everyone. I am very fortunate to work with many great community partners to make this night a big success. All of these organizations have been long-time sponsors and join in this celebration every year. Touch a Truck would not be what it is without them. All of our sponsors bring enthusiasm, generosity, and a great value in “community.” Thank you!

I’m looking forward to Touch a Truck 2012!

a short lesson on how cows produce milk, and read from her book. From there, I headed to the Grandstand to visit the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres booth. Couldn’t find it. But that was my mistake. This is the first year in many that the CDT is not at the fair, Kris Howland, CDT public relations director later explained to me. With all the marketing changes they’re making, they decided to bypass the fair this year. But that’s OK. While walking to the Grandstand, I visited the “My Pillow” booth. Did you know that “The most comfortable pillow you’ll ever own?” is made in Carver? It’s quite an operation, and from the feedback of the people standing in line to buy pillows, it is the most comfortable pillow you’ll ever own.” Carver County’s presence at the state fair continues today

door. And a TV reporter was hovering nearby, waiting for an interview with Sarah. Apparently, there’s a lot of buzz about their newest item, an Asian Fusion taco with pulled pork. Still, as I waited in line I was skeptical. Fish and taco don’t seem like an obvious pairing. I took my fish taco to the outdoor patio, and took a bite. Wow. It was good. So good that later in the day, I had another. Try one. You’ll see what I mean. I dropped by the House booth in the Education Building. State Rep. Ernie Leidiger was scheduled to meet constituents from 2-4 p.m. I was going to ask him about his vote on the state budget, but he was busy chatting up other constituents. Oh well. There’s always next year. Plus, I didn’t want to miss seeing the Eden Prairie High School Marching Band. They were one of the featured high schools in Thursday’s parade. They played a heart-pumping “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey as they passed by. The crowd loved them and clapped like crazy. Also walking/riding in the parade, our very own Gedney Pickle, made right here in Chanhassen/Chaska, and Mr. Bubble of Chaska. And then it was off to see Colette Nicoletta of Chanhassen do a children’s reading program at the Moo Booth in the Cattle Building on the other side of the fairgrounds. Colette just published her second children’s book. It’s called “Allison Investigates: Does Chocolate Milk Come from Brown Cows?” The story is based on her daughter Allison’s fascination with cows and her love of chocolate milk. Colette wrote and illustrated the book. At the Moo Booth, she did

Eyes rolled when I said I was heading out to the Minnesota State Fair last Thursday on assignment. “Oh?” The snark factor was high, I assume, because I called it first. But I had a legitimate reason for a trip to the fair. Last Thursday was a banner day for a Carver County presence at the great Minnesota get together. Carver County folks were participating all over the place at the fair. My first stop, the KARE 11 Barn. Lisa Patrin of Chanhassen writes about desserts and shares recipes on an Examiner.com blog. I wrote about Lisa a couple years ago when she won a nationwide chocolate dessert contest and appeared with Emeril Lagasse on his Food Network TV show. Since then, Lisa’s won other recipe contests and she has a fairly regular gig on KARE 11’s Today show. About once a month, she’s invited on KARE 11’s Today morning show, and demonstrates easy-to-make dessert recipes. On Thursday, she featured Labor Day treats. I sat next to Lisa’s mom Diane Slick of Minneapolis. She was there with a group of family friends. Lisa gets her cooking skills from her mom’s side of the family, the Delmonicos, a well-known Northeast Minneapolis restaurant family. It was fun to be part of the live studio audience. Diane and I did some boisterous dancing with the in-studio Zumba dance instructors during their demo. Even the camera operators were swirling their hips to the pulsating dance beat. While there, I got my picture taken next to the life-size cutout of KARE 11 Weather Smurf Sven Sundgaard. I admit it. I’m a fan. Then I headed over to the Food Building to see how first day fair business was at the San Felipe Taco stand. Last week I profiled owners Mike and Sarah Wentzien of Chanhassen. Since their first appearance at the fair in 2008, they’ve gotten rave reviews by local media, and more importantly fair-goers, Apparently everyone in the metro area read my story and was standing in line. Seriously, the line for their fish tacos was out the

Challenge, but don’t undermine, government By its very nature and since its founding, politics has been a material for healthy conversation during leisure, in large crowds, at the dinner table, at the coffee shop, on a walk or jog, etc. Discussion of politics can involve persuasion, constructive camaraderie, entertaining and engaging conversations, topics that are very broad or direct and to the point. The end goal of all politics is constructive contention, which helps citizens to lead dignifying, secure lives guaranteed by our government, neighbors and, above all, God the almighty. Growing up I often watched how politics was a form of pleasure and entertainment in theaters, on street corners, after church, and during trips that gave people something to talk about, kept the blood flowing, and the lives interesting. Yes, politics is an ‘art of persuasion’ an art of dialogue. When people hear the word politics, they either fall in love with it, run away from it or say, “I am tired of it.” In order for politics to not be boring, experts of politics have an obligation to keep politics interesting, life-giving, engaging and not simply giving into the notion, ‘I am right and you are wrong.’ Plato, one of the great minds of the ancient times wrote, “There will be no end to the troubles of the state indeed, my dear Glaucon, of humanity itself, until philosophers become kings in this world, or until those we now call rulers really and truly become philosophers.” In other words, those in the realm of politics are called to be mature people, wisdom figures, fun to listen to, filled with knowledge, able to move the mountains with the gift of persuasion, perseverance, eloquence and not get into personal attacks. Politics is meant to transcend disagreements and dislikes and build upon an enterprise of equanimity where respect and intelligibility rules. Every person who is blessed with an intellect by the almighty God is entitled to hold on to his or her view — it is permissible. However, it is not permissible to hold the view that ‘My view alone is right and everybody else is wrong.’ It is contrary to human nature, to be unable to acknowledge anything good on the other side. History shows, when one’s view, enriched by another’s view, has resulted in a good, solid, attractive ‘product of idea,’ to be sold. For instance, when a leader, poet or a writer writes or says something, he

or she enriches his idea to be all the more captivating, borrowing some thoughts or ideas from other great minds. Once in a while quoting from other great personalities like Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Mahatma Gandhi or Abraham Lincoln makes a speech, more convincing. It is true of even some passages in the Bible where the Biblical authors used or borrowed some of the common wisdom of the day, purifying the purely ‘wisdom sayings’ into the ‘Word of God.’ There are many examples in the Bible where Jesus quotes from the Old Testament — even God borrows/quotes thoughts from other Bible sources to make his point more relevant. In Luke 4: 18 Jesus quotes the Prophet Isaiah saying, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor ....” Let those in politics not be afraid that hearkening to the voice of another, and accepting that at least there is a ‘kernel of truth,’ that which can enrich, strengthen one’s point of view, be the law that rules, reigns the civilized folk. It is OK to disagree, however it is a must to acknowledge that ‘I can learn from even the one I disagree with.’ Anti-government feelings have become so common – it has even become normal to hear discussions on television that the violence happening in Middle East or parts of the world, might come to U.S. soil very soon – sometimes it may even appear they wish such violence to come to the United States...what is the motive? Just to point a finer at those in power? We need to challenge our government, but we cannot undermine our government. Jesus says in Luke 20:25, “Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” St. Paul in his letter to the Romans 13:1 writes, “Let every person be subordinate to the higher authority, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been established by God.”

LIVESREMEMBERED

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta was ‘holy stubborn’ with her faith – nothing could compromise her love for Jesus – yet she had pretty much met with every president, prime minister, even dictators, sometimes able to distill their brokenness of politics. She challenged every president and prime minister, yet did not undermine their authority. She knew that for her sisters to be able to serve the ‘poorest of the poor,’ from the Bronx in New York to the slums of Calcutta, there is a need for healthy, working governments. Some of these anti-government feelings spring from the inability to see the good even if it is the size of mustard seed. After returning to Greece, Plato founded a school which is thought to be the first University, known as the Academy. One of his main teachings in the university was ‘dialogue.’ Rather than saying, ‘Here is what I think,’ Plato presented his ideas to his students and then let the students discuss among themselves to come to a conclusion. Socrates gave people the opportunity to have a dialogue in the city, countryside, university or prison. These great ancient minds teach that through ‘dialogue,’ persuasion is the best way to capture the heart of the other, as noted by Jay Stevenson in “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Philosophy.” Pope Benedict XVI in his encyclical Deus Caritas Est, No. 42 wrote, “those who draw near to God do not withdraw from men, but rather become truly close to them.” In other words, in order for us to have a better dialogue with fellow human beings, one needs to set oneself solidly in dialogue with God, who in turn can help with the skills of dialogue, skills of persuasion, to be able to win not just the like minded, even those who think differently. As noted by Father Antony Pancras in “The New Leader,” Mahatma Gandhi pointed out that seven things will destroy us: “Wealth without work, pleasure without work, knowledge without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity, religion without sacrifice and politics without principle.” Let us pray that those in politics be the people of principles, self-discipline who train not how to put the enemy down, rather, how to win over the enemy. The Rev. Thomas Joseph is pastor of St. Nicholas Catholic Church in Carver and the sacramental minister to the Latino community at Guardian Angels Catholic Church in Chaska.

FAITH EDEN PRAIRIE

Putting Kardashian wedding in context Pastor credits Gospel message BY FORREST ADAMS fadams@swpub.com

During the past year people of faith from Chanhassen and surrounding communities have travelled in multiple continents and local contexts for the cause of Christian missions. We s t w o o d C o m m u n i t y Church Pastor Joel Johnson is no exception. It was from this reality that he addressed Westwood congregations on Sunday morning, brief ly discussing the Kim Kardashian-Kris Humphries celebrity wedding he officiated in California two weeks ago. “Word on the street has it that last weekend I officiated over a wedding between Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian,” he said coyly to the congregation’s amusement. “It is true. The couple requested a God-honoring, Christ-centered ceremony, and I said, ‘I can do that.’” T h e Hu mph r i e s f a m i ly

has attended Westwood for about 10 years. Humphries and Kardashian were spotted in Westwood on Easter Sunday of this year. Johnson Joel told the conJohnson gregation that his e-mail inbox has been deluged with comments about the wedding, but he has not responded to any of them to protect the privacy of those involved. The statement he gave to the newspaper last week came via the church’s communications director. Instead of providing details about the wedding ceremony, which one entertainment commentator described as “a who’s who in Hollywood,” Johnson discussed “the reach of the Gospel” and encouraged the congregation to “see people as Jesus sees people.” “We all stand at the foot of the same cross,” Johnson said. “Where does the Gospel take

you, and do you let it take you there? There is somebody (in your sphere of influence) who is longing to know that Jesus Christ is alive.” That was the bottom line, and having gotten to it, Johnson launched into a sermon about what he described as “God’s determined mercy.” Later in the ser vice the “reach of the Gospel” again came into sharp focus as the congregation prayed for the Fernandez family – Carlos, Mali, Tommy, Joseph, Christopher and Carlotta – whom Westwood is sending to Lima, Peru. Carlos, a native of Lima, plans to equip Latin American pastors, church planters and missionaries. Mali, his wife, plans to help U.S. Christians get involved in short-term mission trips and ministries to the poor and oppressed. Their ministry is called The Great Gomission. The ministry name is a semantic variation of “The Great Commission,” which is remembered in Christian tradition as the resurrected Jesus’ command to his disciples to spread his teachings to all the nations of the world.

own husband, David, is currently deployed. The next step is building up its steering committee, Mellon said. “Our first steering committee meeting will be taking place in a few short weeks.” Mellon thanks local businesses donating refreshments and services for the Aug. 11 meeting. “We received by a good turn- out of attendees and folks came up and asked us questions and thanked us for doing this for the Military Families in Chaska,” Mellon said. “We are grateful for the continued support within our Community and looking forward to working with all who are and will become involved,” Mellon said. Mellon notes the personal help she has received while her husband was deployed, including someone who attended

the kick-off who volunteered to fi x her Skype program so she could communicate with her husband while he’s away. “Again the Beyond The Yellow Ribbon ‘Strikes again!,’” Mellon said.

ALL THINGS NORDIC

Welcome autumn with Sept. 17 Nordic Music Festival School has started for some Minnesotans, including my son who was shocked to learn he would start classes at Normandale College on Aug. 22! The majority of the school districts throughout Minnesota begin their school year for students after Labor Day. The Nordic countries have already begun their studies in the middle of August. Summer has gone by way too fast! The Nordic Heritage Club, toget her wit h t he Sca ndia Lodge-Sons of Norway is coming together to sponsor, with the help of a Metropolitan Regional Arts Grant, the third annual Nordic Music Festival in Waconia 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sept. 17. This festival will again be at the Lake Waconia Regional Park and admission for the public is free. There will be food vendors and craft vendors and 11 Nordic groups performing in the entertainment tent. The performance line up consists of participants from young to old.

Residents and others interested in Victora are invited to “Discover Victoria Day” from from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24 at the Victoria Recreation Center. The family event is geared forVictoria residents so they can learn about the g reat resources available in Victoria, from local businesses and services, to recreational areas and activities, community groups and resources. Local businesses and organizations will have booths in the recreation center to pro-

vide information and answer questions. Residents will also have an opportunity to learn more about the Highway 5 road reconstruction project that is slated for spring 2012 through Labor Day 2012. Residents can learn how to access downtown Victoria by way of Stieger Lake Lane. Many activities will be planned during the day, including the popular Gamin’ Ride, a video gaming arcade on wheels.

‘CarFit’ safety workshop is Sept. 29 The Victoria Senior Commission and Carver County’s Office on Aging is sponsoring a “CarFit” workshop, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Thursday Sept. 29. at the Victoria Fire Station at the corner of Highway 5 and 80th Street. CarFit is a program in which trained volunteers help older drivers adjust mirrors, seats, and maker other small changes to their own vehicles to increase their driving safety, comfort, and visibility. Trained volunteers and occupational therapists take participants through 12 checkpoints that will enable older drivers to drive longer and more safely. Surveys have show that: 37 percent had at least one

critical safety issue needing to be addressed. 10 percent were seated too close to the steering wheel. 20 percent did not have a line of sight at least 3 inches over the steering wheel. The majority of those who have gone through the CarFit event have made a change to improve the fit of their vehicle, their use of safety features in their vehicle and/or their willingness to discuss their driving with family and/or health care providers. Call Victoria City Hall (952) 443-4213 for an appointment. There are only 24 openings and it will fi ll up quickly. An appointment is necessary, so please call.

TALENT

She has five volumes of published poetry and numerous awards to show for it. And now, she’s been given the most illustrious honor a poet can receive in the state of Minnesota. Last week, Gov. Mark Dayton named Chaska’s Joyce Sutphen the state’s poet laureate. She will serve as the primary spokesperson, supporter and promoter of poetry in the unpaid position. Sutphen, 62, is just the second official poet laureate in Minnesota. She succeeds Robert Bly – a legend in Sutphen’s eyes. “This just shows that poets can be legendary or ordinary,” she said in her typical softspoken, humble manner.

Hassle-Free Solutions What a Bargain!

You’ll need one $5.00 bill to go round-trip!

While Sutphen may not acknowledge her talent, others are more than happy to. “Joyce Sutphen is a talented writer and teacher who will be a great voice for poetry in Minnesota,” said Gov. Dayton at the appointment. “I am thrilled she will be serving as poet laureate for our state.” “Joyce is an extraordinary talent whose poetry combines a contemporary rural sensibility with her knowledge of Shakespearean sonnets,” e-mailed Jim Perlman, of Holy Cow! Press, which has published two of her books of poetry including the Minnesota Book Award winner “Naming the Stars.” “Joyce will be a magnificent poet laureate for Minnesota because of her dedication as a teacher, as a passionate listener, and a friend of our Minnesotan landscape. We are lucky to have her as an activist for inspiring our appreciation and writing of poetry,” said Perlman. “Joyce Sutphen may well be the most self-effacing poet I know, which is surprising as one considers the strength and accomplishment of her writing,” said Scott King of Red Dragonfly Press, in an e-mail. Dragon f ly Press published Sutphen’s two most recent works. “Her poetry is kind and gentle and questioning, but also deeply underwritten by tradition and craft. “As a publisher, I consider it a very distinct privilege and pleasure to have worked with her,” he continued. “Joyce is a much-loved friend, a muchloved teacher, a much-loved poet; I’m certain she will be a favorite with the citizens of Minnesota.”

Sutphen is looking forward to the opportunity ahead of her. “It’s great to have a chance to do something for poetry,” she said, noting that she’s still

very much in the brainstorming phase of things. “I hope to bring a lot of those voices together that don’t norma l ly come toget her,” she said. “I want to do everything I can to have people hear poetry, find places to write poetry, read poetry.” Sutphen has had good practice introducing people to poetry in her 19 years of teaching. She currently teaches poetry, literature and creative writing at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter. She insists she won’t require her students to refer to her as Professor Poet Laureate Sutphen, though. “They’ll probably just end up c a l li ng me Joyce,” she laughed. “We feel incredibly lucky to have such an amazing colleague, and we were beside ourselves when we heard the good news,” stated Rebecca Fremo, chair of the English Department at Gustavus Adolphus. ”Not only is Joyce a gifted poet, somebody whose work engages us all intellectually, emotionally, and even viscerally, but she’s just about the best human being I know. I suppose that’s what makes her such a wonderful poet--that boundless heart of hers. “She brings gi fts to our students that will last them a lifetime. And we can’t wait to see how she’ll bring more attention to the scores of talented Minnesota writers with whom she keeps company.”

IMPORTANCE When asked why poetry is important, Sutphen thoughtfully replied, “It’s a really unique way of paying attention.” “It’s a way of stopping time,” she continued. “We’re so busy, we don’t get a chance to savor the details or pay attention as much as we should. Poetry does that.” Sutphen’s earliest memories of poetry harken back to time

spent with her father growing up on their farm near St. Joseph. “He always made little funny rhymes for us all through the day,” she recalled. “We’d try to keep up with him, but mostly we just stood back and let him go.” In high school, Sutphen began reading poetry and loved it. “I fell into it, really,” she said. Poems like Robert Frost’s “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” “To a Young Child” by Gerard Manley Hopkins and Wallace Stevens’ “July Mountain” spoke to her then and remain among her favorites today. “I was a very democratic reader,” she said, adding W.B. Yates and Elizabeth Bishop to her list of beloved poets. Sutphen also found poetry in the music of the times – noting that the songs of The Beatles and Bob Dylan were particularly poetic in the 1960s. Today, the notions for her own poetry can come from just about anywhere at just about anytime. “It comes from so many different places,” she said. She draws inspiration from everything from her drive to work to her home in the Jonathan neighborhood of Chaska. “I live on a 100-acre marsh,” she offered. “I’ve written about the birds, the deer, the wind in the reeds…” King said Sutphen’s continued dedication to her craft is one of the greatest keys to her success. He likened her devotion to William Wordsworth’s “‘to the sonnet’s scanty plot of ground’ – something like a vegetable garden, a small space, well-tended, out of which have sprung many of her fi nest poems.”

COST But while the transportation benefit of elevating 101 appears greater, there’s still the issue of cost. With limited state bonding dollars available, only one local crossing can be improved. MnDOT estimates the cost of flood-proofi ng Highway 101 at about $31 million, while floodproofing Highway 41 would cost $12 million less, at about $19 million. The lower cost in Chaska is due to a land-bridge that would be half as long as the Shakopee crossing. Originally, approximately $ 30 million was left in state funds for flood mitigation projects, a pool that may shrink due to the state government shutdown. However, funding could also come from other sources. “At this point, I think it’s a fi-

Highways 101 and 41 have closed 10 times due to flooding since 1951. The value of time and miles traveled each day the crossings close is $670,000 (and estimated to reach $1.7 million in 2030). Here are some design and cost estimates for raising either road.

Design concept for raising Highway 41 river crossing N

Creating a f lood-proofed river crossing is nothing new. For years, MnDOT has studied the feasibility of a new river crossing connecting Highway 212 in Carver County and Highway 169 in Scott County. It recently chose a path for the road, along the west side of downtown Chaska. However, with construction of a major new river crossing likely decades off, the state has been seeking lower-cost solutions to the seemingly increasing flood closures in this area (three since spring 2010).

Although it’s trickier, and more costly, to construct a 3,000-foot land bridge on the narrower 101 crossing, the latest research shows the traffic benefit of nearly flood-proofi ng the more traveled 101 crossing is even greater than expected. This is because the elevation of the County Road 101 bridge permits the river crossing to be raised approximately 2 feet higher in Shakopee than Chaska. “Both are good projects,” notes the state’s south area transportation manager Nicole Peterson, but an improved crossing in Shakopee could withstand worse floods than Chaska. A new crossing elevation of 724 feet in Shakopee would be higher than all 10 floods that triggered closures in the past. In Chaska, the river bridge constructed a few years ago wasn’t designed to hold traffic if water hits its metal beams, according to Monk. Since the bridge will remain in place, the heightened crossing could only achieve a new elevation of 722.5 feet – below the level of the historic 1965 flood. However, it would withstand at least eight

THREE LANES? The city of Chaska wouldn’t necessarily be opposed to MnDOT choosing the Highway 101 option. “We get concerned if there’s no options for being able to cross the river during those flooding times. Keeping 41 open is important,” said Chaska City Administrator Matt Podhradsky. However, if the improved crossing goes to Highway 101, Podhradsky asked the hypothetical question “Is there an opportunity to regain our main street downtown?” In the past, the city of Chaska had prepared for removing parking entirely from the east side of Highway 41, while adding a center turning lane to the four-lane roadway. Now, with the lower traffic counts, officials ponder returning Highway 41 in downtown Chaska to one lane in either direction, with parking on both sides and a center turning lane, with some areas for a dedicated right-turn lane. The city discussed the option at its work session Monday night. However, before the city begins studying a three-lane road through its downtown, it needs MnDOT to make a decision.

nancial decision,” Monk said. Engineers are also looking at modifying Highway 169 for both flooding and routine congestion relief. Options include adding a temporary lane during seasonal flooding from County Road 101 to Pioneer Trail, similar to what was done this year. The state could also permanently add a lane from County Road 18 to Pioneer Trail – something that might be prohibitive because of a projected $ 51.3 million cost. A final MnDOT report is expected in October. The outcome will be used to determine which crossing should be used to apply for state bonding dollars.

complete turnaround,” Monk told Chaska councilors at a Monday night work session. Furthermore, the earlier study projected 36,500 vehicles headed through Chaska by 2040. The updated numbers, projected to 2030, estimate 20,200 vehicles traveling through Chaska daily. “This is almost half of what the projection was,” Monk noted. The drop in estimated traffic is a huge deal for the city of Chaska which, for decades, has been struggling with how to maintain a massive traffic flow through its historic downtown, while trying to maintain some sort of community identity and viable business district. There may be a couple reasons for the drop, Monk said. The numbers used before the river crossing study were at the peak of the development era, Monk notes, “before the economy crashed and before [new Highway] 212 was open. And the numbers they were projecting at that point have seriously been impacted by both.” The numbers will undoubtedly help determine which river crossing MnDOT will flood-proof.

other record levels. It’s too close to call on the second highest flood record of 1993. It also makes more sense to flood-proof 101 than 41 from a maintenance perspective as flooding wreaks greater havoc on the 101 crossing than 41, according to Peterson. “[Highway] 101 is typically the fi rst to close and the last to open,” said Peterson, noting that the damage is also worse because the crossing is lower. The ultimate cost/benefit ratio is only slightly higher for 101, according to MnDOT studies. However when it comes to vehicle crossings per day, Highway 101 is clearly on top. According to MnDOT, using 2009 numbers, Highway 101 would carry an estimated 27,900 vehicles per day if Highway 41 is closed due to f looding. If Highway 41 were to remain open, it would only carry 22,300 vehicles per day – 5,600 vehicles less than the 101 option. And by 2030, Highway 101 is estimated to carry 7,000 more vehicles per day than the Highway 41 option.

Each day that floods close crossings in Chaska and Shakopee costs commuters an estimated $670,000. This is expected to reach $1.7 million by 2030. MnDOT is considering raising the river crossing in Chaska or Shakopee by constructing a land bridge, sitting on pilings, across the flood bottoms, and using fill to raise other portions of the roadbed. The project can’t affect water-flow, due to federal environmental rules. According to the latest flood study update, the Highway 101 river crossing in Shakopee would have to fully close for one year to raise the crossing. Alternatively, Highway 41 in Chaska could remain open during an estimated 18-month construction window.

Keeping the schools balanced will continue to be a challenge, according to Diane Kaiser, the district’s director of information technologies, because the high growth cities of Victoria and Carver are currently within Chanhassen High School’s attendance boundary. Minnetonka High School has maintained a relatively stable student population the past four years, according to communications director Jacob Sturgis. “We’re happy with the consistency,” he said. Open enrollment also plays a pivotal role in the size of the high school student body. Last year, 13 percent of the student body was open enrollment students, he said.

Area private schools face a different set of factors regarding enrollment. Not the least of which is a slow economy. “People have to weigh what their priorities are,” said Kathy Brown, president and principal at Holy Family Catholic High School in Victoria. Brown said the school, which started its 12th year this week, has offered significantly more in tuition assistance in recent years and just below $1 million in assistance this year. “We want to be available to families who want a Catholic education,” Brown said. Private schools such as Holy Family also don’t have a set geographic area to draw from. Brown said this year students come from 32 di f ferent zip codes. Brown also said regional demographics also are significant. Last year in the southwest metro area, there were 20 percent fewer eighth-graders in the region, she said, limiting the pool of students private high schools can attract. Southwest Christian High School, a non-denominational Christian school in Chaska, is planning for growth. This summer, Southwest Christian broke ground for a new high school at Highway 212 and Bavaria Road. Currently at 175 students, Principal Dan Beckering said the new facility, expected to open next fall, could serve up to 400 students. Beckering also said the economy has been a drag on private school enrollment growth and tuition assistance has been in high demand of late.

‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ one of the better films of summer

‘Small as an Elephant’ follows 11-year-old boy abandoned by his mother

It’s 2011 and here we have yet another “Planet of the Apes” film. But could “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” be good? With this movie, we get James Franco (“127 Hours”) playing Will Rodman. He works for a company that is using apes to make a new drug that will possibly cure Alzheimer’s. After his main test subject is killed, he discovers that the ape had a baby which is now without a home. He brings the baby ape, Caesar, into his home where he lives with his father (John Lithgow) who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. Over the years they all bond and become a happy family, teaching Caesar human traits as well as how to be a kind, loving ape. An incident happens involving a neighbor and Caesar is sent to live in a facility run by Brian Cox (“Coriolanus”) and his son played by Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy from the “Harry Potter” films). While living there, he has a chance to interact with other apes for the first time in his life. Caesar is mistreated by the people who run the facility and gives up hope of Will ever coming

Slam. There are days when slamming your bedroom door, though it might get you in trouble, is really satisfying. Those are the days when everybody bugs you, nothing goes right, and you just want to scream, stomp, storm and slam. Sometimes, you just want to be left alone. But what if everybody left you – for good? What if you woke up and found out that you were all by yourself ? It happened to Jack Martel in the new audiobook “Small as an Elephant” by Jennifer Richard Jacobson, read by William Dufris. It was supposed to be the vacation of a lifetime. Eleven-year-old Jack Martel and his mother had planned it all summer. They were going camping in Maine’s Acadia National Park for Labor Day Weekend. Then they were going to go see Lydia the Elephant at the York Zoo because a love of elephants was the one solid thing Jack and his mother shared. That is, when she wasn’t spinning out of control. Still, she seemed normal on the trip, helping him set up his tent and laughing at his jokes. She was fine and Jack was looking forward to a few days of fun. But the first morning he woke up and unzipped his tent, he was alone. His mother had done it before. She’d left him by himself in their neighborhood near Boston but she’d always returned in a day or two, once the spinning had stopped. So Jack settled in with a comic book and waited. When his mother didn’t return that day or the next or the next, he counted his change – just under $15 – and decided to try and make it home by himself. Surely, that’s where she’d be. But going anywhere is expensive and Jack was hungry and afraid. What would happen if he couldn’t find his mother? Would they call his grandmother, whom Jack’s mom said was mean? What would they do to a boy who stole a plastic elephant to remind himself of the vacation of a lifetime? Jack had to figure that out soon because somebody reported him missing

HOLLYWOOD ENDING

‘RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES’ (PG-13) (OF 5)

to his rescue. He then uses his knowledge to get the other apes on his side and eventually break out and dominate the humans. “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” really took me by surprise. The last “Planet of the Apes” film we got was the 2001 Tim Burton remake, which was awful. With “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” we get a new take on how the apes came to be almost human and attempt to take over. This film works out quite well. It’s always

at wonderful to see that Hollywood can still l, make a good prequel, remake or sequel. While James Franco does a solid job in the lead role, the real star is Caesar, who is played by Andy Serkis, who played “King Kong” and Gollum in “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Every movement and action Caesar makes looks as real as can be and you actually believe there’s an ape on screen doing human activities. w Year’s John Lithgow (“New Eve”) also provides a good performance. The rest of the cast is fine but most of their characters are one dimensional, especially a character played by Frieda Pinto (“Slumdog Millionaire”) who is sort of the love interest for Franco’s character. As far as the visuals for “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” go, they’re stunning. All the apes, gorillas, and

orangutans look real. Director Rupert Wyatt lets us get a feel for these animals and shows us that they’re just like humans in a lot of ways. He also created characters we care about in Will, his father and especially Caesar. The summer film season has been lackluster but it looks like Hollywood was saving one of its better films for last.

WINE

Why I Have Not Been Asked to Design a Wine Label Thank you all for being here as I unveil the artwork for the first wine label I designed myself. A few of you have asked why I chose to show myself so prominently on the label… and why I’m shown shirtless and much more muscular than I am in real life. Well, the purpose of the picture is to capture the true essence of my being. By viewing this, we embark on an artistic journey to witness my true self. I hear some of you claiming that this label has nothing to do with the wine inside the bottle, and is merely a venue for me to exercise my own ego. That is not true. For example, let me direct your attention to the nymph located in the lower foreground. That’s Amphictyonis, the Greek Goddess of wine. I didn’t need to add her but I thought she added legitimacy to the theme of the art piece. So you see it really is all about the wine. Notice also how she

Kris

BARBER THE WINE ROGUE

resembles Angelina Jolie and how she kneels at my feet, gazing upon my countenance with adoring eyes. Is that Chuck Norris I’m beating down with one hand while I effortlessly play lead guitar for an awesome rock band with the other? Yes. This is not a cheap, selfserving attempt to inflate my own masculinity. No, this is an existential metaphor of the transitory nature of life. Duh. If you didn’t recognize that, you don’t know anything about art.

The scene in the background is a young man receiving a sports award. This is a commentary on the day I won the Snail Lake Elementary School basketball team’s most valuable player trophy. The angels hovering overhead are my own addition but I’m pretty sure they show up at big events like that. We just couldn’t see them. Scattered about the rest of the label are some other minor details: The name of the wine, the alcohol content, the grape variety, etc. but in each case I have been able to mostly obscure those trivialities with more exciting information like my birthday, how much I could bench press in college and a few images of my favorite foods. This week’s recommendation: Cupcake, Prosecco ($9.99): Delicious and wellmade, this Prosecco has flavors even more complex than the label described

above: Take the love-child of a peach and a honeydew melon, drop it in a blender with a few almonds, pour over a piece of vanilla French toast, and serve with a shot of cream and you’d get the idea. Now enjoy a glass while viewing a picture of me. To read more of Kris Barber’s insights on wine, visit his blog at Winerogue. wordpress.com or Savvy.mn.

SCHLICHENMEYER THE BOOKWORM

and the authorities were searching for him. The one thing to remember when choosing an audiobook for a car trip is this: everyone has to listen to it. But with “Small as an Elephant” nobody will mind. This is one of the smartest, most imagination-capturing, compelling stories this year – for adults and for older kids. Author Jennifer Richard Jacobson thinks of things for Jack to do that most adults would never consider. This little character is tough and scrappy, resourceful and clever, but listeners are never allowed to lose sight of the fact that he is an 11-year-old. I was breathless at the audacity of this brave little guy, and the ending is a complete stunner. Bring a tissue, that’s all I’m going to say… Be aware that, because of its content, “Small as an Elephant” may be scary for children under 10, but older kids and adults will love it. If you’re looking for an excellent vacation audiobook, this one is a slam-dunk. The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has been reading since she was 3 years old and she never goes anywhere without a book. She lives on a hill in Wisconsin with two dogs and 12,000 books.

Are you my childless couple or single retired person looking for a companion? I do tricks, and know obedience. Although I’m fine with girl dogs and older kids, I’d like life to be less fast paced. I jump into laps or sit next to you. I was born in August 2003. I wear diapers, as I am 80 percent housebroken. If you let me out every two hours, I do fine. I’m a quiet, very friendly, purebred Lhasa Apso who became homeless when my past owner died. This abandoned pet is being housed by the Carver-Scott Humane Society and is available for adoption. All pets have been vet checked, wormed, had shots updated, have a micro ID implanted, checked for friendly dispositions and neutered/ spayed, if possible. The donation starts at $165 for cats and $195 for dogs. If you can give it a home, call the Humane Society at (952) 368-3553.

EDUCATION

WEB of support “We’re really Older students empowering our mentor new middle schoolers students to make a BY MARK W. OLSON editor@chaskaherald.com

A new District 112 program aims to build positive connections between eighth-grade and sixth-grade students. W EB ( W here Ever ybody Belongs) is a national program designed to foster leadership in the eighth-graders, who serve as mentors to sixth-graders. “What really drives the program is that ability to develop leadership in our eighth-graders and have that leadership and mentorship program available for the sixth grade,” said Megan Gruis, Pioneer Ridge Middle School administrative dean/lead counselor and coordinator of the WEB program. On Aug. 24, 610 sixth-graders at all three district middle schools met for the first time with 160 new mentor eighth-graders, playing teamwork games and learning about their new life outside of elementary school. Approximately 85 percent of all sixth graders participated. Throughout the year, the eighth-graders will continue to serve as mentors, working with sixth-graders in homerooms, where they will discuss issues such as school safety and bullying, school involvement and how to achieve academic success. The eighth-graders will also be leading social activities

throughout the school year – like a Freezie Pop Social on the fi rst Friday of the school year. The program is particularly important for sixth-graders Gruis said. “It’s their first transition,” she said. “And it’s scary and new, and to be able to line up that support for them is key.” By attending orientation with fellow sixth-graders and their eighth-grader mentors (there are two eighth-grade mentors for every 10 sixth-graders), the students can “hit the ground running,” Gruis said. T he d i st r ic t ’s t wo h i g h schools already use a similar program called LINK, to connect ninth-graders and upperclassmen. To start the middle school program, Gruis and Pioneer Ridge history teacher Sarah Rother received $10,200 in grant money from the District 112 Foundation, the Minnesota Education Association and the National Education Association. Using the funds, Gruis, Rother, Chaska Middle School East art teacher Michelle Cordes, Chaska Middle School West sci-

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

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.

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:

Island faucets

Pot fillers 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

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 “enter-

taining.” Visit Danze.com for more kitchen solutions. Source: ARA Content

CROSS COUNTRY

A victory for the freshman BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

esse Longley was excited to see how fast freshman Joey Duerr would be this season. The Chaska coach had to have been happy with the results Friday morning in St. Paul. Duerr ran a blistering time of 16:05 to win the 5K St. Paul Central Open at St. Catherine’s University. The Hawks as a team placed fourth with 83 points behind Centennial, Roseville Area and Chanhassen.

“I even surprised myself. It was a pretty good race,” said Duerr, who captured his fi rst varsity win. His only other victory came during River City Days. The Chaska freshman led the field by seven seconds at the one-mile mark, but increased it the fi nal 2.1 miles to a gap of 23 seconds over Chanhassen senior Alec Olson. “It was a pretty tight pack at first, but the last mile it r e a l ly op e ne d up,” D u e r r said. “I was pretty out of it afterward. But everyone was in a good mood because we

ran good as a team.” The St. Catherine’s course used to be the home to the Missota Conference, which left Duerr wishing it still was. “It was pretty fl at. I really liked the course,” he said. This week’s meet won’t be so easy. Both Chaska and Chanhassen race in the Rolf Mellby Invitational at St. Olaf College at 10 a.m. Friday in Northfield. Duerr, a second-year varsity member, said the field is large and there are a “couple of good hills.” It is run with

the same layout as the state meets, which are held in November. Olson paced the Storm to a third-place team finish, just seven points behind Centennial (61). Teammate Kieran Kelly was third overall one second behind Olson at 16:29. Austin Miller (10th, 17:31), Nathan Jackels (28th, 18:16) and Matthew Janes (29th, 18:17) rounded out the team score for Chanhassen. Along with Duerr, eighthgrader Spencer Urick was seventh overall with a time of 17:12 for Chaska. The top five also

included Nathan Hewitt (20th, 17:58), Jake Connealy (23rd, 18: 07) and Gavin Bjorklund (43rd, 18:58). In the girls race, Chanhassen had three runners place in the top eight, but the Storm were beaten 31-44 by Roseville Area, which had the top three runners. Emily Castanias, Anastasia Korzenowski and Jordan Paschke paced the Storm in the season opener. Castanias ran with the lead pack throughout, placing fourth with a time of 15:59 - five seconds behind the winner.

Korzenowski and Paschke were fi fth and eighth, respectively, with times of 16:08 and 16:36. Rounding out the team score were Lauren Shurson (13th, 16:48) and Larissa Juelich (14th, 16:52). Chaska was a distant third with 81 points. Jenna Urick and Katharine Lowry led the Hawks in 11th and 12th place. Urick came in at 16:43, while Lowry was two seconds behind. Claire Bulat (15th, 16:53), Anna Perrill (21st, 17:15) and Madison Miler (25th, 17:25) had top-five times for Chaska.

Kristen Nicholson’s job of fielding a complete varsity lineup for duals and the section meet was a tough task in 2010. With the addition of a couple extra bodies, 24 total, the Hawks should be more competitive this fall. “We had a small team last year in the first year with the split from Chanhassen, but things are improving. We had one girl return (McKenna Togstad) and a new swimmer (Katie Ridler) that should really helps us fill out the lineup. It was fun putting it together,” said Nicholson, Chaska’s gi rls swi m mi ng coach. The Hawks field nine upperclassmen swimmers, including a pair of seniors in Kirstin Augdahl and Michelle Dehnke that competed in two state events in Class A last year. “We have a strong returning senior class. They’ll make a huge difference not only in duals, but hopefully at sections and state,” Nicholson said. Augdahl was 18th in the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 5:25.31 and also placed 22nd in the 200 freestyle with a swim of 2:01.80. Dehnke took 21st in the 200 individual medley (2:20.49) a nd 2 2 nd i n t he 10 0 -ya rd breaststroke (1:11.73).

Nicholson also said senior Elizabeth Donnelly has come on strong in the butterfly and breaststroke. Others to watch for are Anna Glover and junior Katherine Lowrey, who also competes on the cross country team. “Katherine has a full plate going on during the fall season. She performs well in b ot h,” s a id Nichol son on Lowrey, who competes in the 200 and 500 freestyle events. The Hawk junior was 12th overa l l i n her f i rst cross country event on Friday in St. Paul. O ne of t he t h i n g s t h at most excites the coach is the middle school numbers. Six members of the varsity team are either seventh or eighth graders. “Between the two schools (Chaska and Chanhassen), our program has 20 middle school girls. When I started, we only had a couple that joined the program. That’s a great sign for our squads,” the coach added. Leading the diving crew this season will be junior Stasi Zabel, who was the lone diver a year ago. Nicholson said a new diver may have surfaced at practice on Monday. The Hawks opened the season against Northfield Tuesday and hosts Shakopee Sept. 8. The team also makes a trip to Dowling Catholic in Des Moines, Iowa, on Sept. 10.

REGION ROUNDUP

State runners-up look for .500 season Holy Family Catholic came one win away from the school’s fi rst state football championship in 2010, falling 41-13 to Rochester Lourdes in the Class AAA fi nals. Gone from that squad are quarterback Jeff Soule, halfback Peter Va ku lskas a nd current University of Minnesota freshman tight end Peter Westerhaus. The trio accounted for more than 5,400 yards of offense and 55 of the team’s 62 touchdowns. For the Fire to be competitive this fall, the team will need to rely on its speed and 19 seniors. “We need to replace three major spots that accounted for the vast majority of our offense,” said Head Coach Dave Hopkins, the on ly footba l l coach in the school’s history. “2011 is being looked upon as a rebuilding year.” Returning from last year’s state r unner-up squad are fullback Connor Byrnes (276 yards), flanker Tommy Hanson, running back Isaac Sa-

varyn and center Michael Fritz – a two-way player at linebacker or nose guard. Division I recruit Ryan Dahl (defensive end) and Michael Roane (cornerback) are also back on defense. Roane will play both ways, converting to quarterback to replace Soule. “He played on certain offensive packages last year at various positions, so he has experience,” Hopkins said. Holy Family will play an independent schedule in 2011, which i ncludes si x homes games. Among the home highlights are New Ulm, New London-Spicer, Duluth Central and Escanba, Mich. in week two. The Fire open at WatertownMayer at 7 p.m. Friday.

STARS HOPE FOR STATE After winning the Class A consolation volleyball title in 2008, Southwest Christian has failed to reach the .500 plateau the past two seasons, w i n n i n g 15 m at che s e ach year. With six key players return-

ing, the Stars feel like this could be the year they get past two-time defending Section 4A champion Mayer Lutheran for a spot in state. “The team has a lot of goals this year. Most importantly, all of the girls have committed to work as hard as they can every day to get the most out of themselves and each other,” said Head Coach Greg Sayuk. The Stars already have a win under their belts, topping Delano 3 - 0 Aug. 2 6. It was the first time in three tries Southwest Christian defeated Delano, which has advanced to the Class AA State Tournament four straight years. The scores were 25-21, 28-26 and 26-24. Returning key players are sophomore outside hitter Mackenzie Horkey, senior outside hitter Lydia Palkert, junior setter Katie Lubben, senior libero Sarah Swanson, senior middle hitter Faith Vander Galien, and senior middle hitter Alyssa Johnson.

NEW STARS SOCCER COACH Heidi Larkin is the new girls soccer head coach at Southwest Christian and she’s excited about the prospects of the 2011 season. The Stars are coming off a 10-7-1 season, in which the team was defeated in the second round of the playoffs by Beni lde - St. Margaret. T ricaptains Rachel Gasper, Carly Jacobsen and Ali Hulstein join five varsity returners to form the nucleus of the Stars. Southwest Christian already defeated Watertown-Mayer 3-1 in the season opener Aug. 26. Scoring efforts were led by a pair of sisters – freshman Rebecca Gasper and returning senior and top scorer Rachel Gasper. The elder Gasper had two goals and an assist, while Rebecca had one goal and an assist. Hulstein, the team’s stopper, along with returner Katie Meinke and newcomer keeper Christine Brown, led on defense. The Stars travel to Chanhassen at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

VOLLEYBALL

Don’t miss this

Learning curve begins for Hawks BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Chaska volleyball coach Sue Murphy sent four freshmen onto the court Saturday in the season opener at Prior Lake. The sharp learning curve into varsity volleyball was evident. The Hawks had issues passing the ball and at times finishing off the play in a 25-15, 25-16, 25-22 loss to the Lakers, who also beat Owatonna 3-0 on Thursday. “We got stronger as a team as the match went on, but we just didn’t have enough good moments,” Murphy said. “It came down to passing. When we were in-system, we were outplaying them. When we were out-ofsystem, we didn’t know what to do. And that’s where the age comes.” While the Hawks return five members from last year’s varsity, only one – senior tri-captain Aimee Junget – is on the court for all six rotations. Kylie Seiffert, the team’s libero, plays only in the back row. Hitters Sydney Franz and Kelly Riesgraf are only frontrow hitters, while setter Allie Duenow is sharing duties with freshman Makayla Wenzel in a 6-2 offensive format due to a knee injury. The good moments Murphy referred to were far and few in between during the fi rst two games. Early offense from Riesgraf evaporated as the Chaska tricaptain went to the bench for three rotations. The Lakers capitalized, extending a 7-5 lead to 20-8 with Riesgraf out of the game. It was a trend that plagued the Hawks all match long. And something Murphy knows will need to change.

ON THE TURF AGAIN Chaska opens the 2011 football season at 7 p.m. Friday at home against Rochester Century of the Big Nine Conference. It is the second season under head football coach Lambert Brown, who orchestrated the Fridley Tigers to a conference championship in his second year in that program.

The Hawks started with this combination in Saturday’s season opener at Prior Lake: Senior Aimee Junget (OH), Senior Kelly Riesgraf (MH), Sophomore Allie Duenow (S), Freshman Erin Schindler (OH), Freshman Sarah Kelly (MH) and Junior Sydney Franz (RH).

“(Other girls) will have to step up. And they will. That was Prior Lake’s second match and it makes a big difference. When we have as young of a crew as we do, it makes an even bigger difference when you already have a match under your belt,” the coach said. A serve into the net from Riesgraf ended game one at 25-15. The second game was much of the same for Chaska. A struggling defense and an offense looking for leaders at the net led to a wire-to-wire victory in 25-16 fashion for Prior Lake. Lakers’ senior Melissa VanBenthuysen recorded a kill for the fi nal point. Chaska played better in the third game as Junget’s block gave the Hawks its fi rst lead of the match at 9-8. The lead grew to as large as three at 16-13 on a pair of kills from freshman Erin Schindler. Schindler, one of four freshmen to hit the court for Chaska, looked more comfortable in the offense as the match went on. The same could be said for Sarah Kelly, who notched a big point to keep the Hawks alive

Chaska captains Kelly Riesgraf (8) and Aimee Junget (4) go up for the block on a hitting attempt from Prior Lake’s Alexys Williams in Saturday’s season opener for the Hawks. The Lakers won the match 3-0. late in the third game as a 19-16 lead slipped away. Also playing from the freshmen g roup were Wenzel at setter and Lauren Noldvold at middle hitter. The seasoned Lakers, which started three seniors, one junior and two sophomores, rallied to regain the lead at 20-19. Kelly had a tip kill to start a three-point swing that evened the match at 22, but Prior Lake

got a pair of kills from Jacque Luth and a block from Emily Veldman to clinch the match 25-22. Riesgraf led the Hawks with eight kills and one solo block. Schindler added seven kills, three serve aces and 12 digs, while Junget chipped in six kills and eight digs. Chaska also dropped a 3-1 decision to No. 5-ranked Lakeville South Tuesday. The Hawks

open the home portion of its schedule at 7 p.m. Thursday with Apple Valley. “I want to see confidence and I want to see better decisionmaking,” said Murphy on the goals for the week. “I think we averaged 12 unforced errors per game (against Prior Lake). That’s just too many to give. We’re going to work on those, and if we do, we can stick with everybody.”

GIRLS TENNIS

Tournament champions times two BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

A huge gust of wind kicked up right at the same time Chaska junior Emma Silkey lofted a shot at her Belle Plaine opponent Tuesday, leaving no shot for a return. The point clinched the fi rst dual victory for the Hawks, who have shown through the first two weeks of game play the improvement Head Coach Megan Williams believed the team would display this season. Chaska topped Belle Plaine 5-2 – adding a win to a winning resume that includes victories at two invitationals already this season. “Last year we had a tough year. We had so many young girls, me included. This year we’re coming out really strong and everyone seems to be bonding well together and having fun,” Silkey said. Silkey had to work for Chaska’s fourth team point. After winning the fi rst set 6-2, she trailed 4-3 in the second set.

But like so many of the Hawk players, that added year of experience is allowing them to show more resilience. Silkey won the fi nal three games to give Chaska the win. “We have a new girl (Lydia Passolt) at No. 1 singles, and it

makes the whole team better. I can play at No. 2 and Allie (Reineke) and Lauren (Willkom) can play in their positions. We’re stronger now,” Silkey said. Passolt won 12 of 13 games at No. 1 singles for the fi rst team point, while Reineke and the

third doubles team of Brianna Forbrook and Natalie Volavka won 6-1, 6-1 set up Silkey for the clinching point. Willkom added a 6-0, 6-3 win at No. 4 singles for the final point. “Losing can be frustrating.

But now that we have a few wins I’m feeling confident and I think the whole team is, too. Our confidence definitely is boosted,” Silkey said. Chaska rolled to a second tournament victory at the Park Invitational Saturday in Cottage Grove. The Hawks started the season by winning a tournament in Wausau, Wisc. Chaska won with 19 points, while Trinity of River Ridge was second with 16 points and the host Wolfpack had 12. Forbrook and Willkom each were singles champions in the No. 3 and 4 positions. Willkom didn’t drop a game all tournament, winning all three matches 6-0, 6-0. Rachel Meier and Taylor Flood at No. 1 doubles and Maddy Rydeen and Volavka at No. 3 doubles also were individual champions on the court. Chaska was coming off a 5-2 loss to Burnsville Aug. 23 and a 7-0 defeat to Section 2AA foe Eden Prairie Aug. 25. Passolt and the doubles team of Meier and Flood won against the Blaze.

Goals at a premium for Hawks

Savage ends Cubs’ state run

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Chaska allowed only one goal in 140 minutes of regulation. The result for the boys? One tie and one loss during the opening weekend. Ninth-ranked Prior Lake held the Hawks to just one shot in a 1-0 win Saturday. Chaska played Hopkins scoreless in the season debut at home Friday. Against the Lakers, Chaska had the best scoring chance in the fi rst half, but that was all the offense could muster against a strong defensive Prior Lake squad. The game’s only goal came seven minutes into the second half. Lakers junior Mitch Trotman scored on a feed from senior Connor Anderson. Senior Andy Rieckhoff earned the shutout in goal, making the one save. Prior Lake had 13 shots on net, despite missing two strong offensive players, senior Zach Fennessy and junior Logan Bunbury.

The Hawks girls team fell 4-0 to Hopkins on Friday. A second game for the weekend was played at North St. Paul on Saturday with the two teams tying at one goal apiece. Chaska hosts Waconia in a girl/boy doubleheader beginning at 5 p.m. Thursday.

WINLESS START FOR CHAN Goals were hard to come by for the four soccer teams from Chaska and Chanhassen to begin the season during the three-day weekend. The Storm girls team dropped a 1-0 overtime decision to Bloomington Kennedy on Thursday. “Jordan Melby played solid in the season debut, but did not get goal support,” said Chanhassen first-year head coach Jon Petersen on the Storm’s goalkeeper. Chanhassen was again held scoreless in a 6-0 loss to Bloomington Jefferson on Saturday at Marsh Lake Park. “Despite some good scoring chances created and qual-

The Storm boys lost 3-1 at Minnetonka on Friday. Mankato West kept the Storm winless with a 3-0 defeat on Saturday.

It was the Peterson show Friday as Savage routed Chaska 17-5 in an elimination game of the Class B State Amateur Baseball Tournament in Glencoe. Outlaws’ Ryan, Dylan and Tony Peterson combined for nine hits, seven runs batted in and nine runs scored in the eight-inning rout that ended the Cubs’ season during the fi nal weekend of the 2011 year. All three Petersons had home runs for Savage. Chaska fi nished the season with a 34-13 record. Savage’s Tony Peterson was 5 -for- 6 with five runs scored to lead Savage, which jumped out to a 4-0 lead and never trailed throughout the contest. Chaska pulled within 4-3 after one inning on RBI-singles from Justin Johnson, Josh Korth and Greg Lane. But Savage added a run in the third

inning and five more in the fourth inning. The Outlaws finished off the night with two runs in the sixth inning and five more in the eighth. Kyle Geason added a solo home run for Chaska late in the game. Korth was 3-for-4 to lead the Cubs, while Cory Glieden and Tyler Polster each had two hits. One week a fter holding Miesville scoreless through nine innings, Chaska pitcher Ryan Seifert was tagged for 10 runs on 14 hits over 3 2/3 innings of work. Savage fi nished the contest with 23 hits. T ravis P ugliese ea r ned the victory for the Outlaws, surrendering 11 hits and two earned runs over eight innings. Savage was eliminated by Burnsville on Saturday. Sauk Rapids, which beat Chaska 5-2 in the second round of the state tournament, defeated Burns-

ville 12-1 in seven innings to win the Class B title on Sunday in Brownton.

ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM Sauk Rapids led the Class B All-Tournament Team with five players, while Burnsville had four and Mankato and Savage each had three. The most valuable player was Sauk Rapids’ Jeremiah Piepkorn, who had a .474 batting average (9-for-19) with five runs, two doubles, three home runs, eight runs batted in, one walk, and one stolen base.

Over 1,000 kids run, bike, swim BY FORREST ADAMS fadams@swpub.com

Going into race day, 1,012 kids were entered for the MiracleKids Triathlon, and on the morning of Aug. 20, a few more got added. It was the largest race field in the event’s eight years to run, bike and swim at Lake A n n Pa rk i n Cha n hassen, with even more people watching the activities unfold. Race organizers estimated the crowd at 5,000. Friends, family, siblings, volunteers, and others cheered for the young athletes as popular music pulsated from the awards stage, where top fi nishers were later awarded with medals. The atmosphere was festive, and Steve Chepokas, founder of the Miracles of Mitch Foundation with his wife, Becky, was nearly overcome with emotion. “It’s moving. It’s emotional,” he said. “It’s very touching. I know Mitch is looking down on us right now and saying, ‘Dad, you kept your pinky swear.’ I could die tomorrow and the pinky swear would live on.” According to Miracles of Mitch Foundation website, 9 -year-old Mitch Chepokas, in his last days, made Steve “pinky swear” to help families of children going through cancer treatment after he was gone. Out of this the Miracles of Mitch Foundation was born, and the MiracleKids Triathlon is the organization’s largest fundraising event during the year. Triathlons occur annually at Lake Ann Park, Chanhassen, and Lake Nokom in Minneapolis for kids between the ages of 7 and 17. Participants are encouraged to recruit sponsors and collect monetary pledges for the event. They are rewarded with special prizes and inductions in the “Mitchie Hall of Fame.” This year the kids raised more than $302,000. Tony Schiller, the race coordinator, said the top fundraising came from 9-year-old Veronica Church of Owatonna ($8,131), and the next highest fundraising was from 14-year old Anna Rice of Chanhassen ($7,700). Mi ke K ra nce, executive director of the Miracles of Mitch Foundation, said there was a lso some $ 2 0 0,0 0 0 i n sponsorship money. Before

read the first 10-20 pages of each one, and then haul them back to work to either send out for review, or (sadly) NOT send out for review. So reading full books for pleasure has become a sort of guilty pleasure for me. That said, I am reading “Gasoline Wars,” an old short story collection by Jean Thompson. She had a new book out this summer (“The Year We Left Home,”) which I reviewed for the Star Tribune, and loved, so I looked up some of her early work. Q: What were some of your favorite books as a child? A: Oh, so many. Besides the “Little House” series, and the “Anne of Green Gables” series, and the “Betsy Tacy” series, I loved all of Edward Eager’s magic books (“Magic by the Lake,” “Half Magic,” etc.) and Elizabeth Enright (‘The Four Story Mistake”) and Noel Streatfeild’s Shoe books, and especially her “The Magic Summer,” because it was set in Ireland, and Sally Watson’s “Witch of the Glens,” which made me want to be a

school in the evenings at the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, and sometimes I got to go with her and sit in the library and read while she was in class. And we went to the grand Carnegie Library in downtown Duluth nearly every Saturday. (It’s no longer a library, sadly, but still lovely and grand, with marble floors and stained glass windows). When I was in sixth grade, my elementary school tried some modern experiment of self-directed learning, with all 120 sixth-graders in one big classroom space where we were supposed to wander around and do some math, then do some geography, then do some art, all at our own direction, and arrange to take tests whenever we felt ready. It was sort of like the Sorbonne for Duluth 10-year-olds. Me? I sneaked out of the classroom space every day and went and sat in the library and read. I think the teacher didn’t catch up with me until the end of October. Q: What would your dream job be, if you could not be a journalist/writer/author? A: Oh, I want to say bookseller, except I know how hard they work and how tough it is, especially these days. And then I want to say book publishing, but, sadly, ditto. So I will say that if I were not a journalist I would like to be a collector of stories. That’s probably cheating--it’s much like being a journalist – but not precisely the same. I listened to a podcast this morning from Irish radio about someone who goes a rou nd Dublin collecting oral stories and recording them, and then plotting on a map exactly where they took place. This sounds like an excellent job for me. Especially since it would involve living in Dublin. Q: What future do you see for libraries? A: Oh, we cannot do without libraries. Just as we cannot do without newspapers. I think people know this. Yes, they cut, cut, cut, but I think they know that libraries are repositories of our culture – our history, our language, our art, our literature. They are the great equalizer – anyone can go into a library and read anything they want to, sit down at a computer and surf the world, browse the stacks and bring home anything they want – movies, books, records, paintings. Certainly there are those among us – and occasionally in power – who would rather curtail all that information. But I cannot believe we will close these doors. We cannot. We need libraries to keep the light of culture and information on in our world.

The Chanhassen Library Thrift club will be featuring Master Gardner Dave Daubert speaking at 10:30 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 10 on Preserving Food. This group meets monthly focusing on innovative ways to save money. Thrift Club organizer Lori Blatzheim says, “What is Thrift? Thrift is not simply a money saving strategy — it’s a broad term that encompasses the wise use of all resources: health, time, money, and environment included. T he dictiona r y de sscribes “thrift” as proshy perity, thriving, healthy a nd vigorous g row t h, careful management (es-d pecially of money), and gainful employment. Rather than inhibiting people, thrift can help c ont emp or a r y A meric a n s achieve heir the prosperity that their ancestors came to fi nd. As our leaders seek answers on how to build a more sustainable economy, they would do well to be guided by that venerable word “thrift” — an idea both old and new. The Chanhassen Thrift Club meets to discuss goals, strategies, and results of the use of

Thrift. Our group is open to anyone interested in learning about, or practicing this special way of life.”

with their employer, Lyall and Black, Financial Advisors? Foxton has been named the executor of Kovak’s will, and must deal with a staggering amount of credit card bills. A great deal of money had been going through Herb’s bank account, including a lot of cash picked up at money transfer companies.

Now he must solve this murder to save himself and his loved ones. “Not One Clue,” by Lois Greiman Minnesota author Grieman spoke at the Chanhassen library a few years ago. She is really a entertaining writer and speaker. If you like Janet Evanovich or Jennifer Crusie, you will enjoy Greiman’s books. Los Angeles psychiatrist Chrissy McMullen is awakened one night by Mickey, one of her clients who needs immediate assistance. He had gone to see his son, a son he just recently found out was his, who is living with his aunt and her boyfriend. They take exception to his request to visit the boy, and overreact violently – gunfi re ensues. Chrissy is a very helpful person — she is also assisting her next door neighbor, Ramla, who has a sister still in Yemen with an abusive husband. Suddenly Ramla gets a call that she has to go to the airport to meet a flight – it seems her sister has managed to escape her powerful husband. Then there is her best friend, the star Laney Butterfield who is living with Chrissy while she is planning her wedding. Laney has been getting strange threatening letters. Chrissy also has ex-clients who pitch in to help her, and Rivera, her police detective boyfriend. Greiman has six books in the Chrissy McMullen series. We only own four of them, but you can always get them interlibrary loan if you want to read them all. New books coming out this fall.
