District may seek almost $2 million more per year
AND SHE’S OFF
Money would fund technology at all schools BY CHUCK FRIEDBAUER friedchu@yahoo.com
T
he District 112 School Board is pondering a $1,9 8 3,0 0 0 annual levy to fund technology at all its schools. The board will decide at its Sept. 8 meeting (tonight) whether to hold a Nov. 8 levy referendum. If successful, the levy authorization would continue for 10 years, raising almost $20 million. The levy would amount to about $ 84 more per year for the owner of a $240,000 home. The owner of a $ 2 50,0 0 0 commercial or industrial property would face a tax increase of about $149 per year. If approved, District 112 would use the levy to fund wireless infra-
structure, computer items such as laptops and tablet PCs for students and teachers, as well as maintaining and replacing systems and equipment over those 10 years, according to the District’s technology plan. The money would also allow for infrastructure to enable students to use their own computer equipment to access school software from home. Technology referendums make up a significant portion of capital project referendums in neighboring districts, said DeeDee Kahring, District 112 director of fi nance and operations. For the 2010-11 school year, Edina’s capital project referendum was $1 million, Minnetonka’s was $5.5 million, and Eden Prairie’s was $6.3 million.

Return to Vietnam Adoptee journeys to reunite with biological mother PHOTO BY MARK W. OLSON BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com
On a desk in Ben Lane’s home in Arlington, Minn., sits a pair of brown leather sandals far too small for his grown up feet. The well-worn sandals are all that remains of a journey Ben took decades ago – a journey from Vietnam to the United States that would save his life and the life of his mother. Ben recently returned to Vietnam for the fi rst time to reunite with the family he left behind more than 36 years ago. “I know it sounds corny, but it didn’t feel like I went back,” he said. “It felt like I went home.” Ben will give a presentation on his trip to Vietnam at 3 p.m. on Sunday in Arlington at Creekside Community Church where he serves as pastor. The event is free and open to the public.
OPERATION BABYLIFT It was the spring of 1975 and Nguyen Quoc Binh was one of thousands of Vietnamese children brought to the United States as part of Operation Babylift – a $2 million initiative ordered by President Gerald Ford to evacuate orphans from the wartorn country. Many of the children evacuated had been fathered by U.S. soldiers during the Vietnam War.

Ben (an Americanization of Binh) was one of them. Because of his distinctly Caucasian features, Ben’s mother, Mai, became a target of the Viet Cong.

Chaska businesses form new alliance time, it was felt that participation in such efforts should be expanded to include any and all interested downtown businesses and business property owners as well as community organizations and individuals, according to the press release. It is hoped that a more inclusive organizational structure will increase opportunities for dialogue and better involve, represent and advocate for the downtown Chaska business community in the pursuit of common goals and interests, the release stated. Immediate goals of the new group are to assist in prioritizing and implementing the Downtown Master Plan, assist in revising and improving Chaska’s sign ordinance, assist in the design and implementation of downtown streetscape (amenities, parking, sidewalks, etc.) in preparation for street reconstruction in the commercial district beginning in 2013 with Second Street, and increase its membership. “There are many issues fac-
ing downtown at this time such as: parking; river crossing traffic and its effect on the downtown environment; retaining current businesses and attracting new ones; and assessments for street reconstruction in the commercial district,” according to Les Dahlberg. “We hope to bring together those who will be affected by upcoming challenges and opportunities and those who can contribute to the effort to improve our historic downtown.” Annual dues have been set at $75. Membership recruitment will begin immediately, with members of the board visiting local businesses and organizations over the next few weeks. A general membership meeting will be held at KleinBank Chaska from 7:30 to 9 a.m., Sept. 23, at which time the recently completed summary document of the Downtown Master Plan will be presented. In the meantime, any questions may be directed to Dahlberg at (952) 448-4226 or dahlberg.lf@ comcast.net.

Foundation serves needs of Carver County Previously I have mentioned that I am on the board of The Community Foundation of Carver County (TCFCC). I know that a number of people have never heard of the TCFCC, so I thought this would be a good time to write about it. Another reason to write is that TCFCC is planning to hold a Community Dialogue on Sept. 29. The goal of the dialogue is to get input from involved county residents on the issues facing Carver County. The Community Dialogue, which will be limited to between 50 to 60 attendees, is to be held from 5 to 9 p.m. on the 29th at the Chaska Community Center. This will be the first of several such events, so do not be concerned if you cannot make it to this first one. Rather than gather as a large group and listen to speakers, the attendees will sit in groups of six to eight at individual tables so they can participate in conversations. As I said, we are looking for input from the community, and felt this would be the best way to get that input. Each table will have a table leader to take notes on the discussion, and to make sure that everyone who wants has a chance to speak. If you are interested in the future of our community and its residents, and would like to attend, then contact our Executive Director Lesley Chester at (952) 250-5138 or info@carvercountyfoundation.org. A small meal will be served at the event, and there is no charge for participants. Getting back to the community foundation, our purpose is “To serve as a catalyst for community investments that contribute to the health and vitality of those living and working in Carver County.” Sounds great, but what does it mean? It means, “Our role is to connect potential donor’s – and their charitable interests and resources – with local needs.” If you are like me, every day your mail contains multiple requests for money from charitable organizations, and few if any of these requests are from local causes. This does not mean that they are not worthy, but they are intended to meet needs that are national or global. Our goal is provide opportunities for people to donate to the needs of Carver County. So how do people use the TCFCC to donate to these local needs? There are several options for donating. For most of us with a small donation, it could be to a designated fund. The TCFCC manages the money in these funds, which would grow over time through contributions and returns on investments. Periodically, the money in these funds would be used for grants to local organizations. In some cases the TCFCC would manage funds for a particular charity and accept donations and provide funds for the operations of the charity. A major function is to provide an opportunity for individuals, families companies or groups to set up specific funds with their money. The founders of the fund can determine how the fund is
Jim
WEYGAND GUEST COMMENTARY
distributed, or the decisions can be made by the TCFCC. Another option, and one that my wife and I plan to utilize, is to set up a charitable fund or foundation with a portion of your estate. The goal of most of these funds is to make grants or distributions from the income of the invested principal so that the distributions will continue long into the future. In addition, to the functions described above, there are some other services provided by the TCFCC. For new or small charitable organization that has not gotten its charitable classification (5013c) the TCFCC can provide a home or shelter. Getting the charitable status can be an expensive and timeconsuming process. The foundation in its role as manager of these funds must also determine that the principal is in safe and secure investments, but also earning a good return. We also have the responsibility to monitor the charities that we support, and determine that they are using their resources as intended. We have broken our ties with one local group where there were some questions about their finances. Let me close by discussing the funding of the TCFCC. I know most of us like to support worthy causes, but do not want to think about the costs of raising and managing money. At Carver’s Community Foundation, we have a minimal staff consisting of two part-time employees, an executive director and a planned giving specialist. Our board is made up of unpaid volunteers. This is keeping our costs low, but we still need to raise funds to support our operations. Longterm, we would hope to support our operations through the small fees charged for managing the funds. If you are interested in learning more about the TCFCC, then check out our website at www. carvercountyfoundation.org. Jim Weygand is a former Carver mayor.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CARVER COUNTY
Religion and government I am trying to get an answer. Maybe someone can help me. It is my understanding that “separation of church and state” is very important to the government. This phrase is not in the U.S. Constitution or the Bill of Rights. What is said is actually a law forbidding the Congress/government from establishing a religion: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Well, it looks to me like Carver, Scott, and Hennepin counties (and probably others) do not take this seriously; at least not in relation to their mental health professional services. In their DBT (Dialectic Behavioral Therapy) groups they promote and even require Buddhist meditation. They deny and even disregard any Christian influence. To me that is establishing a religion. This is our tax dollars at work. I don’t really like to see mine spent this way – how about you?

HAWKS/STORM
Schedule boys, girls together As we anxiously look forward to the 2011-2012 Hawks and Storm Basketball Season, one idea has come up that would allow both communities to come together for a great night of basketball. During the upcoming season Chaska and Chanhassen will meet twice for girls and boys basketball. The proposed idea is to have the varsity girls and boys teams play at the same venue for these two meetings. Last year it was impossible to see
both the girls and boys compete because both games were at the same time and at different locations. If the schedule will allow the girls and boys to compete at the same venue it would allow for a large community event and everyone could see both games. My hope is that both athletic directors at each school can come to this same conclusion and begin planning for this exciting night of basketball.

CHASKA FARM & GARDEN
Wonderful to serve you Editor’s Note: Barrie Anderson was an 11-year employee at Chaska Farm & Garden, which is closing after about three decades in Chaska. The closure was profiled in an Aug. 25 Chaska Herald. Thank you Lucy and Pat, Marilyn and Emily, always happy, loyal and friendly, Mary Malkerson, Sally, Tony and Patty, all of them, buying plants and chatty. Let’s not forget Krystal, Kim, Madonna and Ruth too, many a plant they bought, supported me and you. Maryann McMahon, Cynthia Hall and Mrs. Just, they brought us conversation and business – in them, we knew we could trust. George and Karen gave us many smiles, handed over sweets and talked for a while. Ashley and her kids brought enthusiasm and innocence, while John Varone gave us spirit, and in our community, a sense. Connie Beck, the best birdseed customer around, and Patty Schlader shopping at Farm and Garden was where she could be found. On fi xed incomes some of these people existed, and still they supported our endeavor, because they knew if they didn’t, Chaska Farm & Garden would disappear forever. An emphatic and earnest thank you to all our genuine customers. It was wonderful to serve you.
BOUNTIFUL BASKET
Food shelf should stay downtown The Bountiful Basket Food Shelf just moved downtown to the still-new Snyder Drug building and someone wants to put it in a dumpy old treatment building (“Old water plant may become food shelf,” Sept. 1). I can see why the teen center didn’t happen there. It’s a dump. It needs a lot of costly repairs. The Snyder building was barely used and all of a sudden there’s a big shot idea to pull the Bountiful Basket Food Shelf away. We haven’t had a downtown food shelf in at least 30 years. One was downtown way back when around Second Street. I remember my mom donating there. The Snyder building is ideal for the apartments in this area. I have a neighbor who was born with polio and is permanently in a wheelchair. She was so glad to have Bountiful Basket come closer to Talheim Apartments. She can’t drive a car, nor walk. I can walk somewhat, but can’t drive. The need to have the Bountiful Basket downtown is tremendous. So far I haven’t relied on food shelf donations to supply my pantry. I do fi ne without its help, but I have donated many times over. It’s a good project and helps a lot of people down on their luck. Also, it has the double doors that open electronically like the 212 Medical Center. It would be nice if the City Hall and library had such doors in their entry like them. Anytime you see the buy one, get one free, or the 10 for 10 or five for five deals, and you come home and you’re overwhelmed in your pantry, donate it to someone else’s pantry. With the unemployment rate, and the obvious money troubles in our government, people go to bed hungry. I’ve heard it out of my elderly neighbors. It’s either the high cost of their pills each month, or get something put in the fridge or pantry. Nowadays, people have to rub two nickels together to make a dollar. Social Security has become social insecurity.

Drinking water faces threats from many different sources There is a new threat for water. Actually, not really new, it’s been around for quite some time but our awareness of it is new. Contaminants of Emerging Concern or CECs are chemicals and microbes that have recently: 1) Been detected in the environment due to analytical advances, 2) Been introduced into the environment as new chemicals 3) Are regulated, but recently found to be more toxic at lower doses. They are found in lakes, rivers and groundwater, all drinking water sources. With advanced technology we now know of their presence but don’t yet understand

CECs are generally endocrine disruptors – chemicals that can mimic chemical signaling in the body such as hormones. They interfere with reproduction, development, growth, metabolism, behavior and other biological functions. The impact to humans is not well understood, but effects on wildlife have been well documented for 15 years. The biggest question is where do they come from? Sources have been broken down into three areas. The first area is prescription and non-prescription medicines used by humans and livestock. CECs get into water through human and animal waste, medicines thrown away down the
drain or toilet or into the trash where it leaks from landfills. The second source is personal care and consumer products including plastics, detergents, cleaning formulas and even some canned food. The use and disposal of these products can release CECs to waste water and landfills where leaking can occur. Wastewater treatment plants are not designed to remove CECs, thus they get released into our waters.

importantly, it’s a reminder of how much and how quickly we’ve forgotten about those early years. For instance, I completely forgot how small our daughter was when she was born. Our son was about the same size as our daughter was eight years ago, but that seems almost like a lifetime ago in some ways. Or who remembers that black tarry stuff in diapers the first couple of days after they’re born? I know I forgot – and probably for good reason, too. Ick! The long nights (which my wife has been a saint in taking on the lion’s share of), and constant attention required by an infant are quite a contrast to the relative autonomy of a near second-grander. Sure, sleep-deprived nights, inability to get much accomplished, and constant need for attention isn’t exactly the fun part of parenting, but that just comes with the turf. That comes along with stuff like spit-up, tantrums, naughty time, and endless questions of “why,” “why,” and “why?” Our memories usually serve us relatively well in

state working together. There are practical reasons, like generating revenue, why the annual citywide celebration and the festivals of the Carver churches happen simultaneously. It also illustrates how religious and civic organizations can work together. They do not have to be opposed to each other, as long as they both admit the truth – they need each other. For example, during Steamboat Days, a number of people park their cars at the church parking lot, go downtown to watch the parade or enjoy some of the other events, then stop back at the church to socialize
and take in the church activities. While this might seem simple, it is a perfect example of how religious and civic organizations can work together. Bertrand Russell wrote, “One must care about a world one will not see.” Our ability to come together, celebrate together, sets the tone to serve with goodwill, in peaceful co-existence, now and until the time you and I will no longer be here to celebrate. ‘When all else is lost the future still remains.’ Yes, there is a future for the city of Carver and the churches of Carver. A future that we can toil and craft together – maybe there is more that we can do if we are working together as a team? This is good for the people of Carver, which will ultimately lead us to God, from which everything comes. Yes, if we pause for a moment to think of this possibility, we will have cause to think that together we are a combat team, we can ‘run the gamut.’ In 1868, Father Magnus Mayer, of the Order of St. Benedict, erected ‘God’s city set on the hill,’ St. Nicholas Catholic Church.
Since its founding, the ‘light of Christ,’ continues to shine brightly on the bluffs of Carver and beyond. All are welcome to attend the St. Nicholas Church Fall Festival this weekend on Saturday, Sept. 10 and Sunday, Sept. 11. Saturday’s activities include kids games, country store, silent action, petting zoo, chicken dinner, beer garden, Polka Mass with Bishop Piché at 7 p.m. and a great place to view of the fireworks at dusk. Sunday’s activities include the 5K run beginning at 8 a.m. at Community Park, food garden (Includes a Memphis style pork lunch, walking tacos and chicken dinner options,) children’s face painting, bingo, raffles, kid’s games, country store, silent action, petting zoo, and beer garden. More information and details can be found our website at www. stnicholascarver.org. 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.

time at home for not only the new infant, but for our older daughter as well. Years ago, I faced a similar choice when changing jobs to make sure that I wasn’t traveling for work five-days a week so I could be there for my kids as they were growing up. Time flies, and the busier I am with work, and the other responsibilities of life, it is difficult to both capture and appreciate those moments when you have them. Sometimes, we’re so busy just trying to get through the day, that we often don’t get the opportunity to take a second to savor the moment. Finding a balance between work and life can be challenging for many of us. I know that for myself, it is an ongoing challenge – between work, household errands, community service, pastimes, and spending time with friends and family, it is always a juggling act. Of course, many of those tasks can present opportunities to spend time with our children. Even when I’ve got to run to Home Depot or Micro Center, its a great chance to spend some time with Kylie and hang out and spend some time together. But the most important part of parenthood – and life – isn’t just to go through the motions. What you – and your kids – will remember are those little moments. The tough part is to cherish your time together while you have it. Sure, there’s always tomorrow – but today gone before you know it. Mike Huang is a Chaska resident.

life. But sometimes there are those wonderful memories are fleeting. For instance, those moments of holding an infant child in your arms. Or perhaps it’s that first smile. (Yeah, they say its just gas, but I’ll just live in my fantasy world and believe he’s just happy.) Or maybe it’s those first wobbly steps on their own. And as they get older, the multitude of accomplishments, while greater in number, are no less substantial. Performing in a first dance recital or scoring their first goal in soccer – each was special. I always did my best to capture those moments in a photograph or on video. And I’m sure that in the future there will be many, many more memories for which to cheer on and capture. Whether they are birthdays, graduations, great plays in soccer, their first time behind the wheel, or heading off to college, they’ll all be precious. And I’m looking forward to each and every one of them. Reading a story to my daughter at bedtime is something that I cherish. But some days, I have gotten home after a long day at work only to find that I didn’t see her awake since the day before – or perhaps since the weekend. And those days that I did manage to get home before her bedtime, I was so tired that reading with her was a chore. Isn’t that time supposed to be the precious time we’re supposed to be looking forward to spending together? So, I changed jobs to help ensure that with the new kid on the block, I would have

A little over eight years ago our first child, Kylie, was born. She’s quite the independent young lady, learning to be an articulate young person, who has friends, needs, desires, and ambitions of her own. As parents, we’re quite proud of her – just as every other parent is proud of their own progeny. And of course, we’re doing everything we can to encourage her to continue to grow and expand her horizons, skills, knowledge and perspective. Throughout the year, we have her signed up for swimming, soccer, dance, and various other activities. She keeps us on our toes, and of course, it’s the best job in the world! But a couple of months ago, we welcomed a new addition to our family – our second child, Carson. He’s quite the fellow, too – and he’s brought about a dramatic change to our world. Many years ago, a friend of mine who has a pair of cats – their first “kids” – told me that when they had their first child, it was a life-changing experience – and a huge amount of work. But they would still make time for the cats on occasion. When they had their second child, they said, it was more than double the work with two in the house. They would occasionally forget to feed the cats, until they were “reminded” by the kitties. With the third child, they didn’t really have time for much else. “What, we have cats?” she added. Yes, things are much busier around the house, but more

The fading summer leaves us more hours of darkness to enjoy the stars, which is nice for finding some of the less obvious treasures of the night sky. High in the south after sunset, the Summer Triangle still dominates. From bright Deneb, in Cygnus, west to brilliant Vega, in Lyra, and south to Altair, in Aquila, it comprises three of the sky’s brightest stars and comes out shortly after nightfall. Break out the binoculars to spot the aptly named Coathanger, a grouping of stars three-eighths of the way along an imaginary line

from Altair to Vega. Moving eastward from the Coathanger, look for the thin form of Sagitta, the arrow, and leaping Delphinus, the dolphin. In the predawn sky, Mars glides out of Gemini and into Cancer. Look on the 15th, when the Red Planet forms a straight line with the Gemini twins Castor and Pollux above the eastern horizon. On the 30th, Mars hovers at the edge of the beautiful Beehive star cluster, the jewel of otherwise dim Cancer. Jupiter rises in the east about two and a half hours after sunset on the 1st, but by the 30th, we’ll only have to wait about 90 minutes after
sundown to see its brilliant golden form. If you’re up in the predawn hours, you’ll find it high in the south, between the Great Square of Pegasus to the west and Orion to the east. Wherever Jupiter is, look 16 or 17 degrees below it and a few degrees west to find an intriguing star called Mira. Five years ago, astronomers found that this star, which began life like our sun, is shedding a tail of gas and dust as it hurtles through space. Now 13 light-years long, the tail has formed over the last 30,000 years and may seed the formation of new stars, planets and even life. Its brightness is expected to peak
this month, so don’t miss this chance to see it. September’s harvest moon shines on through the night of the 11th-12th. This moon has long been a boon to farmers working late to bring in their crops because near the time of the fall equinox, the full or close-to-full moon rises as little as 22 minutes later each night. Speaking of the equinox, fall arrives at 4:05 a.m. on the 23rd. At that moment the Earth’s axis tilts neither away from nor toward the sun, and an observer from space would see our planet lighted from pole to pole.

al agencies have been discussing whether the ability to forecast river levels in Shakopee outweighs the $30,000 price tag of installing a new automated gauge and the ongoing maintenance costs that could tally up to $16,000 a year. The National Weather Service manual staff gauge was wiped out last spring by debris and its backup water-weight gauge was removed during construction of the Holmes Street bridge. The Weather Service Office in Chanhassen uses river gauges to forecast flood events based on point-specific river level observations. But even before the Shakopee gauge was damaged, NWS was relying on in frequent readings from the manua l gauge and struggling to model Minnesota River levels without real-time observations, according to Service Hydrologist Diane Cooper. Forecasting a river requires accu rate data since rivers change from f lood to f lood depending on season, vegetation, erosion and ice, she said. In spring, the water moves quickly, chewing away at the bottom of the river bed so that it can hold more water. Once it slows down, sediment and debris starts to settle, refi lling the river bottom and reducing its capacity. For example, the September 2010 flood had distinct differences than spring f looding because the grasses and leaves slowed down the water flow. River gauges are helpful in planning for future f lood events and keeping the public informed, said Scott County Emergency Management Director Chris Weldon. The gauge not only tracks where the water is currently, but models it days ahead. “Once we know that the water gets to a certain level a road is going to close, we can anticipate that and start looking at what need to be done to close the road,” Weldon said. During the past two floods, county and city officials have relied on a makeshift ruler installed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation just north of the County Road 101 bridge. However, the pole is only usable once the river has risen high enough for backwater, Weldon said. “Anybody can stick a stick in the ground and tell us how high the river is,” said Carver County Emergency Management
Director Ken Carlson. “Where the river level is headed, that’s the big thing for us.” Ca r ver Cou nt y of f icia ls would like to see Shakopee keep its gauge because of its wealth of historical data, Carlson said. The close proximity to County Road 101, a major river crossing between Scott and Carver counties, also makes it ideal, he said. If Shakopee were to pass on a gauge, the city of Chaska may have some interest in its own automated gauge. Chaska currently utilizes modeling from the Jordan gauge upstream and its own wire-weight manual gauge, said Chaska Public Works Superintendent Tim Wiebe. “We can get a pretty good idea of what’s coming,” said Wiebe, who adds two days and subtracts two feet from the Jordan gauge reading to get a rough estimate of the river level in Chaska. Even if Chaska were to install a gauge on Highway 41, it would be years before the new site could build up the historical data of Shakopee gauges, Carlson said. “We really would like to see the Shakopee site continue,” he said. “It’s so close to Chaska, it’s a significant data point to rely on.”
THE COST The main crux to installing a new gauge is who pays for it. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is the federal agency responsible for operating and maintaining river gauges across the county. While the agency receives some federal funding, it relies heavily on partnerships between interested local and state parties, to cover the full cost of installation, Cooper said. Local partners, such as the city, county and MnDOT, could apply for a U.S. Homeland and Security hazardous mitigation grant, Weldon said. The grant could cover up to 75 percent of the gauge, while local partners chip in the rest. The grant, however, does not cover annual operations and maintenance, which Cooper estimates between $12,000 and $16,000 a year. Operations and maintenance covers not only general upkeep of the gauge from debris and ice, but also routine and special measurements to identify the river’s flow, Cooper said. These measurements are used to develop rating curves which
translate a river’s f low into flood stage values. The fund also covers the hourly transfer of stage data to the Weather Service via satellite, as well as analyzing and archiving those numbers for public use, according to Cooper. The USGS has said it would fund up to 40 percent of annual maintenance costs, Weldon said. The city, county, MnDOT and other interested local parties would be responsible for the rest. While recent f lood events highlight the importance of a gauge, it’s really more of a want than a need, Shakopee Police Chief Jeff Tate said. The city is facing tight budgets and does not have a pool set aside to cover the expense of maintaining a river gauge, he said. Having seen his depar tment’s office staff shrink and hoping to add a 47th officer in next year’s budget, Tate said if given a choice between an automated gauge and the officer, he prefers the latter. “We just simply don’t have the resources we can devote to [a new gauge] right now,” Tate said. “Maybe there’s a creative solution, we just haven’t figured it out yet.” Chaska and Carver County officials don’t want the Shakopee gauge abandoned, but they’re not necessarily sure they can commit to fi nancially supporting it either. If local partners pass on an automated gauge, the Weather Service will discontinue specific river level forecasts and probabilistic outlooks for the Minnesota River in Shakopee, Cooper said. NWS would continue to issue general river flood information, but it would not replace or fi x the manual staff gauge. Shakopee wou ld have to rely on projections from the automated Jordan and Savage gauges. The real question for local partners comes down to whether the benefits of river forecasting outweigh the costs, Cooper said. While she’d like to see a new gauge in Shakopee, she knows it’s the local communities’ decision and sometimes “you have to say no to good things even though it’s a desirable thing.” “Deep down should Shakopee have a gauge? Yes, especially on a major crossing like this,” Tate said. “But right now the costs are at a point where it’s a hard pill to swallow.”

The events of 9/11 – three numbers seared into our minds – changed our country and our lives. The tragedies of Sept. 11, 2001, sent the United States to war, dramatically changed air travel, slowed the world’s economy, spawned hate crimes, and put us in mourning for the more than 2,700 persons who died as a result of the terrorist attacks.

I poured myself a cup of coffee, turned on the TV, and was forever changed. I was frozen with shock. What was I watching? It was ‘Oh my God, what is happening?’ You forget where you are, and your surroundings. I called someone – don’t remember who. It was days before things started making sense. I was praying and praying for the people and families. For the fi rst three to six months, people I would meet showed kindness to one another. The anger and rudeness was gone. People were very polite. I thought “W hy does it take something like this to change people towards one another?” We never know when God is going to call us.

When I see a shooting star When I see a shooting star, I close my eyes and indulge in a little wish, and when I blow the wispy seeds off a dandelion, I stop for a moment and hope for something trivial. And when the sun rises and marks the day as Sept. 11, I bow my head in prayer. But this prayer isn’t about some small thing, not about something trivial. It’s a prayer of sorrow, gratitude, and hope. Deep in my mom’s closet are stacks of old newspapers chronicling the attack. When I see pictures of anguished faces, of America’s twin towers in flames, and read about the raw pain of a nation … grief wells up in me. And yet, I can walk out of the closet and back into a blessed life of normality. I look at the American flag hanging on my wall before I go to sleep. Oh, I feel gratitude. It’s unimaginable that so much hatred could cause the kil ling of thousands: we all live with a bit more fear in our hearts than a decade ago. But we also found courage, solidarity, and a renewed faith in God. Because of this, I continue to hope: never again.

In discussing 9/11 (part of the citizenship curriculum), it’s often necessary to explain how life changed in America since that fateful day. These discussions have changed me. I realize how fortunate I am to live in the United States. Many students come from war-torn countries where individual rights and security are unknown. Here we view it as our God-given way of life. I am all too aware that there are peace-loving people in every country. Just because a student is from Afghanistan or Iraq or Somalia does not mean that person is a violent terrorist. Many of my students have suffered great tragedy. I am more proud of my American heritage than ever; more conscious of the value of our Constitution and Bill of Rights; more grateful for those who defend our country and our rights. Nine-eleven stirred up all of these values in me. I share them daily with people from around the world.

One mother helping another
for the son to come down. The boy, about 7, was franticly screaming. I was now at the top of the escalator near the frightened boy, as a crowd of people gathered around him. I’m not sure if I reacted from so many years of being around young children, I certainly didn’t think through my actions. I went to the boy, put one arm around his chest, grabbed the escalator railing with the other hand and nudged him onto the fi rst step. As I held him tight, I felt his little heart beat rapidly. About half way down the father entered the up escalator and both mother and father were shouting at me. Soon we were at the bottom of the escalator. I was greeted with words I could not understand. Our body language said it all. I was one mother helping another mother. On that fateful day of the attack I didn’t see a family from another country or know the attack on the twin towers was Muslim terrorists; I saw a family from another country shopping and a young boy in distress. I still believe we live in the land of opportunity. With the current political climate, the influence of money, and bias in the courts, I am worried our freedom is at risk. My hope is it’s not too late.

I was working at home in my office listening to the radio when I heard an airplane had crashed in New York City. I turned on the television and watched in horror, as the events of the day unraveled. No one knew what to expect or who was responsible for the attacks on the twin towers. They issued warnings about large cities and shopping centers, especially the Mall of America. I couldn’t concentrate on work and decided to go to the Eden Prairie shopping center. As I was going up the escalator, a Muslim family, father, mother and two sons began their descent on the down escalator opposite me. The mother wore the traditional Muslim dress with a hijab covering her body, head and face. The mother and youngest son stepped on the escalator and the father followed. The oldest son stopped, terrified of the moving stairs. The father, mother and youngest son went down, as the oldest stood frozen in fright, at the top of the escalator. The mother, young son and father, now at the bottom of the escalator realized what had happened and began shouting in their native tongue
Still wondering a decade later The Midwestern skies were a perfect blue on Lake Susan Drive in Chanhassen on Sept. 11, 2001. I had just put my first-grade son on the bus bound for Chanhassen Elementary. I also had a toddler by the hand and a newborn on my hip. I tuned in just as the fi rst airplane hit the twin towers in NYC. I saw the second one slam into the second tower and my mind couldn’t grasp what I was watching. Was this a promo for some extreme action movie??? I sat glued to the TV the entire day. What was happening? Should I pick my son up from school? If the terrorists went after our country’s fi nancial and governmental centers for maximum impact, would they hit the heart of a small town next? My mind was racing and thinking terrible thoughts. It felt as though the sky was a giant door that closed up. All flights were suspended and the only sounds above were military airplanes on patrol. I looked at my two young daughters and thought,
SAVVY SOIREE: FALL FASHION 101 Time:
I remember the beautiful day and then seeing images of the World Trade Center burning on television. How a small kernel of fear started to take hold knowing my daughter was in training for her first job just three blocks away from that building now on fi re. I wanted to receive as much information as possible, so I turned on the radio as well. That station was speculating that the planes could have been carrying anthrax. Now my fear was starting to take control. What could I do? How could I help? I could only pray that God would keep her safe. She called me late that afternoon and told me of how they felt the impact three blocks away. How her desk slid back and forth when each plane hit the World Trade Center. How over the loudspeaker, they were instructed to remain at their desks. She told her friend, I’m not sure what is happening, but we are leaving now. Once on the sidewalk, there already was a lot of debris flying around. They saw on a storefront window a television viewing exactly what all of us were watching. With no sound they assumed we were under attack. How they ran in terror when others shouted, “The fi rst tower is falling.” When I remember 9/11 these vivid memories return and it feels more recent than 10 years ago. It is important to honor and remember those who lost their lives on that day, and later because of responding to the events of that day. Our history changed with that event. The elusive safe and secure feeling is gone. We have all been changed by that historical day.

A little boy’s hands and heart I was a special-education assistant, walking down the hallway at Five Hawks Elementary with a fi rst-grader. There were whispers from the adults as I passed by the school library. I noticed a small TV and thought it was odd for it to be on. I paused and witnessed the second plane crash through the twin towers as the first one was still on fi re. I took that little boy’s hand and continued to walk to his speech therapy. He was a child with autism. I had no idea what I had just witnessed. I just felt a somber mood within every hallway we walked down. Tears were hidden behind a “normalcy mask,” while phone calls were made by the staff to make sure their families were OK, and parents called to pick up their children. We all upheld our responsibilities for our students, staying calm and continuing the day’s activities. The school day ended with so many unanswered questions. We were all shocked and confused. Understanding the reality of that infamous day, 9/11/2001, I’ve often reflected on holding that little boy’s hand. He couldn’t speak, but somewhere in his innocent heart he felt
The attacks of 10 years ago did change my world view. There is a lot of evil and hate in this world. Ten years ago, we saw the worst of it. There is a lot of good in this world, too. Evil and hate need to be confronted in an effective way. My world view is clearer now in that the good people of this planet can get along. If we can overcome the evil and hateful people and make sure we have honest and effective leaders, the world will be a better place. I think we should vote for the best candidate and be on the watch for evil, hateful and criminal activities and make the call when you see it. I think it’s best if people get involved with making their community a better place, not always expecting someone else to do it. I think it is time to re-evaluate how we do things. An updated and effective business model in most areas would be a good thing. My sense of security is changed some. I hope for the best, but it may be a good idea to be prepared for the worst. It may be the way to go in case of emergencies. My life is changed, as I am on the watch for suspicious activity more now than before 10 years ago. I am also more active in volunteering for my community and charitable organizations.

Nothing could divide nation after attacks “Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson How insightful this American treasure was, how true this quote is. For me 9/11 was more than an inhuman attack on the innocent. It was two of the greatest messages this world would ever know. First: WE ARE NOT ALONE! Days after the attacks newspaper pictures and video clips show the world mourning with us, their outcry of rage not unheard. The news at times paints the picture that the world dislikes the American attitude, yet when we needed our friends and allies the most, they were there for us. Second: WE WILL RISE! Our country did not ask for this and did not deserve this yet when we were attacked without warning or chance to prepare, we triumphed. Americans were helping and sacrificing for fellow Americans. Religion, political differences or race could not divide our country that day ... we were all Americans. I am allowed to write this because of the history that is America. America is the great experiment and is the greatest achievement in history. I am so proud and honored to be part of our American story.

HawkTALONS A salute to students of Chaska High School involved in arts, athletics and academia
Daring to lead Student Council looks forward to leading an exciting year BY CHUCK FRIEDBAUER friedchu@yahoo.com
F
rom state budget concer ns to national debt crisis solutions, governi n g b o d ie s a n d their deliberations have ruled this summer’s news. As the new school year begins, Chaska High School’s Student Council is set to embark on guiding its constituents through another school year. The Executive Council, which is comprised of four seniors, two juniors and a sophomore, recently took the time to answer a few questions on its role and plans for the upcoming year.
Q: What is the primary role of Student Council? Esther Lee: The primary role of Student Council is to become a representative for the student body and to overall build leadership skills, school unity, and increase student involvement in the school and the community. It is a collaboration between youth and adults to generate Hawk Pride and school spirit! Claire Sasse: The council aims to exceed the expectations of the typical student. We can take feedback from st udent s to b e cre at ive i n developing their experience here. Amy Jensen: The council gives students a voice in the school beyond just attending classes, which helps shape the school. Q: What are some secondary or less familiar roles of a Student Council? Lee: As much as we plan events throughout the school year, the Student Council also works to truly encourage the growth of leadership of our St udent C ou nci l memb er s

throughout the year. We are a youth-led organization that fosters yout h voice i n ou r school as well as in the community. This year, we would like to extend and exercise ou r le ader sh ip on a st at e level. Q: Why are you part of the Student Council? Lee: There is a difference between talking about something and actually doing it. The council provides a forum for us to follow through with those actions. Hannah Potter: It lets me get to know the faculty on a higher level than just a student. Kev i n Lu ngay: Student Council is an activity I’ve been part of since fi rst-grade at Jonathan Elementary. It’s fun to create events for the student body and know I’ve helped in some way.
Q : W hat is this year’s major theme? How was the theme developed? Lee: Our year-long theme is Dare to Be… During one of our student council meetings in the summer, we sat down and thought of many ideas in groups. We then narrowed it down to our favorite ones by voting. We liked Dare to Be Proud for the Homecoming theme because it was focused on having Hawk Pride. Dare to Be…is easy to work with and incorporate into our other events in the future. Q: Any charities of major focus? Lee: We will be looking at various charities to donate to throughout the year. Last year we had something called a n O p en C a mpu s C h a r it y Par ty where CHS students were able to decorate cookies to donate to Auburn Manor.
We wi l l be doing that this year as well.

We will have Coronation at the downtown Chaska Gazebo on Sept. 26 from 6:30-8 p.m. We will be having our annual parade in downtown Chaska at 4 p.m. Please bring your families and friends to these fun-fi lled events!

Budget cuts prompt shuffling BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com
While shrinking budgets are a fact of life, District 112 administrators have tried to lessen actual impacts on students. At Chanhassen and Chaska high schools, administrators have made some physical moves to adjust to staff cuts. According to Chanhassen High School Principal Tim Dorway, he and the other assistant principals have moved from the administrative area of the school at the school entrance, and into the deans’ offices of each “house.” “We’ve all picked up additional responsibilities,” Dorway said. He explained that the physical moves into the school’s houses accommodate the cutting in half of a dean’s position, cutting the positions of the alternative school program coordinator and support person, and cutting two house secretaries. “I’ll oversee the alternative school program,” Dorway said, “and our administrative team has absorbed the alternative school responsibilities,” Dorway said. “We’re using the half dean position cost to fund the alternative school program. “Tammy Riesgraf continues as our attendance secretary and receptionist. Cindy Pagelkopf is our building secretary. I’ve moved into the Oak House along with Sue Klingenberg, the principal’s secretary. Betty Johnson, our registrar has moved into the Maple House, and Jim Swearingen will work with the seniors. Mark Shoquist will work with the 11th graders, and Megan Blazek is the dean of students and will work with the ninthand 10th-graders. “We also moved Officer Bob Zydowsky out into the upper level of the school into the back commons.” Who now occupies the prin-

Students head every which way Tuesday as another school year begins at Chanhassen High School. cipal’s and assistant principals’ offices? “The parent representative Khambay Sivongsay has my office now,” Dorway said, “which will be nice for parents coming in for meetings. Chris Lenius is the gifted and talented coordinator and is located in our former office, as well as the staff that work between buildings. “Personally, I’m glad to be out into the school and have our offices physically more close to classrooms and the locker bays,” Dorway said. “It gives me more opportunities to be out among the students.” Dorway said that budget cuts have increased class sizes slightly, that students are paying $50 more for parking this year than last, making student parking fee $250, and that students are also paying more for activities fees.
CHASKA HIGH SCHOOL At Chaska High School, budget cuts have affected the position of the full-time registrar, said Chaska High School Principal David Brecht. The reg ist ra r t racks st udents’ grade reports and transcript records when transferring between schools and applying to colleges. At Chaska High School, the registrar was cut to half-time and is now a shared position with Chaska Middle School East. The registrar is the person students and their parents contact when they are sending transcripts to colleges or transferring credits from one school to another. And they oversee the grade reporting process with teachers. Chaska High School now shares a copy center with Chanhassen High School, and teach-
ers will be responsible for making their own copies and computer printouts. Formerly, an administrative staffer provided assistance in those tasks. “We have four houses, but we’ve made one [house office] into the Hawk Store. Assistant Principal Kathy Fones and Registrar Cyndia Roper have moved into the Purple House, which is located next to the main entrance next to the students’ parking lot. “We’re spreading out our staff and physically, they’re farther apart.” As in Chanhassen, class sizes have increased slightly. “Class sizes range from 32 to the high 30s,” Brecht said. “It’s more a cumulative effect, not something that has a one year impact. Class sizes creep up a little bit each year.”

LANE continued from page 1
threat was real to his life, her life.” So with only the clothes on his back and the sandals on his feet, Ben secured passage on one of the last flights out of the country. He can still remember the cargo plane fi lled with frightened young children and the kind adult that took him up into the cockpit to see the controls and meet the pilot. At almost 8 years old, Ben was one of the oldest children on the flight. Most were younger than 5, and many were just infants. Only a fortunate few had adoptions lined up in America before they boarded the flight. Ben had no idea where he would end up once they landed. He spent a month with a foster family in Oregon before being shipped across the country to the home of Duane and Donna Lane on Prairie Street in Chaska.
‘STRANGE’ The Lanes were no strangers to adoption. The duo brought eight adopted children into their home. “It just broadens you as a person,” explained Donna Lane. Ben said Duane and Donna had a “revolving door” for anyone in need. Ben was the Lane’s first Vietnamese child. “He was a very likable young man,” recalled Donna. Back then, the shy boy enjoyed dipping pickles in catsup and fishing. In a July 1975 story Duane Lane told the Herald that the only way they could get Ben to come to Minnesota was by telling him that they fish a lot here. He took to the area quickly, playing baseball and swimming in the clayhole. “I’m a Chaska boy through and through,” said Ben. But naturally, he had a few things to learn about his new home. “He would panic when the oranges were gone. Until I explained to him that we just go to the store and buy some more,” said Donna. She recalled another time when she and her husband Duane sent Ben with one of his brothers to the movies and used the down time to learn a couple Vietnamese phrases. T hey tried out their new phrases when Ben returned home only to be met with anger. “He had this idea that he would be sent back if he spoke Vietnamese,” she explained. Ben had a vivid imagination that he used to entertain his fellow classmates at St. John’s Lutheran School, including Troy Dahlke. Dahlke and Ben met on the fi rst day of fi rst grade. “He was strange,” Dahlke recalled. “Playful in a sense, always distracting us with his stories.” Dahlke still remembers one of Ben’s tall tales. “He told us his plane crashed and he got a ride on a whale.”
THE RETURN Ben and Dahlke have been friends ever since. Dahlke even accompanied Ben on his trip
September 8, 2011 | Page 15
back to Vietnam. “It was quite an honor to be there for this,” he said. The trip was years in the making. When he turned 18, Ben’s adoptive parents presented him with a folder full of all the information they had about his adoption. He began a telephone and mail relationship with his Vietnamese family. They conversed for a number of years until Ben grew uncomfortable with some of their expectations for him to return and take care of them. “I chose to sever the relationship,” he said. But thoughts of Vietnam and the family he left behind did not disappear. “Over the years, I had f lashing thoughts that I needed to go back,” he said. Instead of returning to Vietnam, Ben became a pastor and started a family of his own. It was his eldest daughter’s questions about her Vietnamese relatives that reignited Ben’s interest. “That got the ball rolling,” he said. “She’s enamored with family,” explained Stacy. “She’s very curious. She’d probably end up [in Vietnam] even if we didn’t.” After several failed plans to visit Vietnam, Ben began to wonder if his return was meant to happen. Then he received a check for $300 from a man that had been inspired by his story. Ben started a savings account for the trip. “I came home and told Stacy, ‘I think this is real. I think God’s hands are on this,’” he recalled. Meanwhile, as Ben scrimped and saved, Dahlke was busy writing a grant to join him. Dahlke had started his own family by this time – adopting two boys from Ethiopia. He decided to take advantage of the dollars his school offered for advanced learning and wrote a grant proposal based on the story of adoption and reunification. “I wanted to see the full circle,” he said. “It got very real, very fast,” said Ben. Within a year from the original investment, they purchased plane tickets and Ben wrote to his birth mother to let her know that he was coming. “Ten days later, I got a phone call at midnight,” he recalled. “It only took two scooter horns [in the background] to know who it was.”
CLOSURE On Aug. 2, 2011, Ben and Dahlke said goodbye to their families and boarded a plane for Vietnam. It was a day of mixed emotions for Ben – the strongest of which was fear. “I had a fear that my mom would accept me, but my siblings would not,” he said. “I was afraid there would be an expectation for me to take care of them. And I had a fear of being disloyal to Duane and Donna Lane.” Donna was neither surprised nor upset that Ben would want to reconnect with his Vietnamese family. “We’ve adopted eight children and most of them have wanted to fi nd their roots,” she said. “For some of them it was wonderful. For others, it didn’t work out like they hoped.”
Ben said he went to Vietnam looking for answers to his questions, links to his broken memories and closure. “You should just know right off the bat that there was no closure that happened,” he said. Stacy was hardly surprised. “He was going for closure, but I knew this was going to open doors.” Ben and Dahlke arrived at the airport just before midnight. There, four scooters and two mini-buses worth of relatives waited for them holding an old piece of cardboard with “Ben Lane” printed on it. Among the hoard of relatives, Ben’s eyes went right to those of his mother and his oldest sister Titi Mai. “It was awesome,” he said. “A flood of emotions.” Over the next two weeks, Ben got to know his relatives and got answers to his questions. “Literally, every day was a family reunion,” he said. His mother told him about an American soldier named Bob that swept her off her feet. They lived together for four months before she became pregnant with Ben. Eventually, he shipped out and though he promised to come back, she never saw or heard from him again. His mother later met an Australian man named Peter who raised Ben as his own until the war tore their family apart, sending Peter back to Australia and Ben to America. “It’s pretty amazing to think of her sacrifice,” said Stacy. “It’s hard to imagine what it’s like for a parent to relinquish a child,” agreed Dahlke. “It made me appreciate the families of my boys and the responsibility I have to raise them,” he added.

HOME Despite his fears, Ben was welcomed with open arms by his Vietnamese relations. It was a warmth he found easy to return. “The love was so real, I couldn’t fake it,” he said. “I feel like there is a void now because I’m not there.” The tug of his birth mother was the strongest and most surprising for the 44-year-old. “I underestimated the power of maternal love,” he said. And though two weeks was hardly long enough for Ben, there is no question that he’ll be back. Next time, he hopes to bring Stacy along. “If all goes well, we’ll be back in six months,” he said. “I’m dying to see her on the back of a scooter.” For Ben, returning to Vietnam was a homecoming like he could have never expected. “I can’t think of one thing I didn’t like,” he said, noting that everything from the food to the weather to the chaotic city streets agreed with him. “It occupies my mind all the time.” And now he’s anxious for his American family to experience the culture and meet their Vietnamese relatives. His birth mother is anxious as well. “Before he came she would say, ‘I pray I see you one time before I die,’” offered Stacy. “Now, it’s, ‘I pray I see you one more time.’”

For 92-year-old Mary Campbell, it’s safe to say the mind isn’t as sharp as it once was. Her memories of events from decades ago are much more vivid than those that happened earlier in the day. Keeping track of how many children (17), grandchildren (64), great-grandchildren (55) and great-great-grandchildren (1) calls for notes. And though she always knows what she wants to say, her mouth occasionally fails her. None of that stops Campbell, though. Thanks to a new Life Enrichment Program at her assisted living facility – Lighthouse of Waconia – the feisty Campbell has rekindled her love for painting. Last month, she took home multiple ribbons for her watercolors at the Carver County Fair. Campbell’s art, along with those of several other Lighthouse residents and area artists will be on display at the facility’s first art show on Sept. 10. Campbell started painting some 25 years ago. But after her husband Fairman passed away just six weeks shy of their 50th anniversary, she admits she “lost interest” in it. Two of her paintings from that era – one of the foothills near their home in Yuma and another of a dammed river – hang in her room alongside a mosaic guitar done by her mother. Campbell’s more recent work is a series of landscapes – most involving some body of water. She’s completed seven or eight pieces since she started in the program in February. Campbell said she paints whatever catches her eye and sticks in her head. “I don’t really think about it,” she said. “I just paint.” Campbell is careful to let those viewing her paintings know that they are largely works in progress, pointing out areas she’d still like to improve upon. “They aren’t fi nished,” she said emphatically. “They’re more ideas that I had.” Her children explain that that’s the “perfectionist part of her” speaking. Growing up on a farm 25 miles west of Rockford, Illinois, Campbell had little time for frivolous hobbies like painting. She and her sister were expected to pitch in and help. “I never thought of it,” she said. “Painting or anything like that - we were too busy.” After graduating high school, Campbell went on to get her four-year degree in teaching from what is now Northern Illinois University. She married in 1940 at the age of 21 and proceeded to have 17 children over the course of the next 19 years. During that time she also put her teaching

Mary Campbell started painting again after moving to The Lighthouse in Waconia. Two of her watercolors recently won a selection of ribbons at the Carver County Fair.

After her husband died, Campbell eventually returned to Minnesota to live with her son and daughter-in-law John and Karen Campbell in Chaska. Due to health problems, her family later moved her to The Lighthouse this past February where she took up painting to help fi ll her days. But even though Campbell’s paintings are decorated with colorful ribbons, she won’t allow herself to get a big head over the recognition. “So what,” she said shrugging her shoulders and throwing her hands up in the air. “Give me a paddle with some dirt on it and I can have fun with that, too.”

One play changes the tide toward Century BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com
Stars of the Game
O
ne or two plays can drastically change the outcome of a g a me. T w ic e i n the red zone in the second quarter, Chaska failed to score, despite reaching the 2-yard line on a drive late in the half. Instead, Rochester Century drove 99 yards on six plays for a third touchdown and a 21-0 lead, pulling away from the host Hawks in a 34-7 victory Friday. “We talked to them on Saturday about how they really were. Making plays, guys were in the right position and they had great effort. You just don’t know when the big plays happen. I’m encouraged that they know how close they were,” Chaska head coach Lambert Brown said Tuesday. Chaska’s first opportunity to score came early in the second quarter as sophomore Kolby Seiffert returned a punt from midfield to Century’s 28-yardline. Quarterback Nick Jensen hit Sean Brewers for 17 yards to the 14-yard-line, but on the ensuing snap out of the shotgun, Jensen couldn’t hold onto the high feed and the ball was turned over to the Panthers. The Hawks got back into the red zone on the next drive as Jensen connected with Garrett Paulzine on a 49 -yard playaction pass. Brewers hauled in another catch, setting up Chaska at the 5-yard line. Jensen c a r ried t he ba l l for three yards and after two runs gained a net loss of one yard, Tanner Judd was stopped inches short of the goal line on fourth-and-goal from the three. Si x plays later, Centu r y
The first star goes to sophomore Kolby Seiffert, who scored Chaska’s lone touchdown on a 74-yard reception in the fourth quarter. He also nearly broke a punt return for a score in the second quarter. The second stars go to receivers Brandon Ploen and Sean Brewers, who got good separation and hauled in a number of well-thrown balls from quarterback Sean Jensen.

Alex Crawford had the big run in the series, carrying the ball from deep in Panthers territory to Chaska’s 26 on a 65-yard run. Instead of the game being 14-7 or better yet 14-14 at halftime, it was 21-0. “It was about six plays that made the difference. Fumbling going in and not getting in from the 2-yard line, those were big ones. Just at the point where we started getting some mo-
mentum, we let it get away,” Brown said. Century put the game away on the fi rst play of the second half. After Chaska was unsuccessful on an onside kick, quarterback Dominick Jacobs hit receiver Jesse Moeckly over the middle for a 49-yard catchand-score. Taylor F ruend added an eight-yard touchdown reception from Jacobs – his third of the game – for the 34-0 lead. Jacobs finished his first varsity start by completing
6-of-10 passes for 131 yards. In total, the Panthers racked up 473 yards of offense, including 342 yards on 46 carries on the ground. Christenson led Century’s ground attack with 119 yards and two scores, while Crawford also topped 100 yards on 11 rushes. It was Christenson who gave the Panthers an early lead on the second play from scrimmage for Century’s offense. The speedy tailback took a pitch and found a seam down the
right sideline for the 79-yard score. Dondre’ Perkins gave Century a 14-0 lead, catching a Jacobs’ pass on an inside screen for 12 yards late in the first quarter. “Looking at those plays, with the pitch early in the game, it came down to a couple of guys being in the wrong position. The mistakes that we made are fi xable. I didn’t watch the fi lm and think we have a long ways to go. I think we’re pretty close to being pretty good,” the
coach said. Seiffert got the Hawks on the board with 6 : 59 to play on a 74-yard reception from Jensen. Junior David Childers added the extra point for the fi nal score. It was a sign of good things to come from Seiffert, who touched the ball whenever possible in the opener. He handled most of the kick and punt return duties and as the game went on, lined up more at receiver. “He’s a good player. That’s a good class – we have a lot of kids in that group that are contributing,” said Brown on Seiffert and the sophomore class. “When his number was called, he made big plays.” Chaska finished the game with 248 total yards of offense. The coach was pleased the team only committed two penalties for the entire game in a season opener. The Hawks host Northfield in the Missota Con ference opener at 7 p.m. Friday. The Raiders won in week one 11-9 over St. Paul Central. “Right now we’re trying to focus on the positives and keep this thing going in the right direction,” Brown said.

Roane doesn’t miss a beat at QB
Things start to click for Hawks
Michael Roane didn’t have time to sit on the sidelines and watch quarterback Brady Soule lead Holy Family Catholic to the Class AAA Prep Bowl in 2010. The now Fire senior was all over the field last season, playing various positions in different sets. The signal caller for HFC this season, Roane didn’t miss a beat from his predecessor. The quarterback had 334 total yards of offense and figured in on all four touchdowns in a 29-12 win over WatertownMayer in the season opener Friday. Roane rushed 28 times for 213 yards and a touchdown. He also completed 8-of-20 passes for 121 yards and three scores as well a two-point conversion pass. HFC jumped out to a 22-0 halftime lead with Tanner Steen and Ryan Sheehan pulling in touchdown receptions of 11 and five yards from Roane. The quarterback added a firstquarter score on a 31-yard rush. Watertown-Mayer pulled within 22-6 on a score in the third quarter, but a 12-yard strike from Roane to Sheehan put away the game for good. Steen led the Fire receiving corp with three catches for 59 yards, while Isaac Savaryn had six carries for 28 yards. HFC outgained the Royals 375 to 270 for the game. D e f e n s i v e l y, C h a r l i e Marschall had two interceptions, while Clayton Forner and Stephen Kohler each had nine tackles. Forner added a sack for a 10-yard loss. HFC hosts Escanaba (Mich.) at 1 p.m. Saturday in Victoria.
STORM WEAR DOWN IN OPENER Cha n hassen hu ng wit h Owatonna for the first 2 4 minutes, but the next seven minutes were all Huskies. The Huskies, a Big Nine representative, got a long touchdown from Drew Osmundson and a quarterback sneak from
Colton Schock as Owatonna pulled ahead for good in a 36-21 win at Chanhassen High School Thursday. It was clear the Storm wore down as the game went on. Chanhassen coach Bill Rosburg didn’t use the heat as an excuse, but rather conditioning, which he pinned the responsibility on himself. “We pride ourselves on being disciplined. We might not have been the best team on the field the past two years, but we were disciplined. We need to be better at that,” the coach commented on numerous penalties and breakdowns. Chanhassen struggled the fi rst 20 minutes of the game moving the ball on offense. Up until the fi nal drive of the half, the Storm had -12 yards of offense due to a pair of fumbles. Down 15 - 0, Chanhassen quarterback Ryan McGuire orchestrated a scoring drive in the final two minutes of the quarter. Cole Otto hauled down a 30-yard pass and four plays later, it was McGuire to Alex Riley for the 9-yard score, cutting the lead to 15-7. The momentum didn’t last into the third quarter as Osmundson pulled in his second touchdown of the game on a 57-yard pass-and-catch. Earlier in the game he took a pass and broke a tackle for a 37-yard score. The next drive, Schock added his second quarterback sneak from one yard out for the 29-7 lead. Along with penalties and missed assignments, Chanhassen had three turnovers on offense in the second half. Chanhassen got secondhalf touchdowns from Maverick Edmunds on a two-yard run late in the third quarter and Zach Elder on a 52-yard option run with 1:15 to play. Mc Gu i r e wa s 13 -for - 3 0 for 145 yards and one touchdown. He also led the team in rushing with 48 yards. Cole Otto caught six passes for 62 yards. Osmundson finished the

D efen sively, s ophomor e Frank Ragnow had a breakout game, recording two sacks and a number of hurries.

Chanhassen had eight days to prepare for Shakopee, which comes to Storm Stadium Friday.
FIRE HALT APPLE VALLEY’S WIN STREAK Holy Family Catholic beefed up its schedule in boys soccer this fall. They scheduled the best and now they beat the best. The Fire knocked off twotime Class AA champions Apple Valley 2-1 in overtime Aug. 29.
It was the first loss or tie for the Eagles in 48 games – a streak that began in the 2008 state quarterfi nals. It had been 1,040 days since that 1-0 loss to St. Louis Park. Patrick Smith drew a foul in the box and Peter Schumer later connected on the penalty kick for the game winner. Smith had given the road Fire squad a 1-0 lead 12 minutes into the game on a goal from 25 yards out. Holy Family, which is off to a 3-2-1 start, can pull off a double-upset when it plays Class A champion P rai rie Seeds Academy on Sept. 20, again on the road. Other results included a 1-0 loss to St. Michael-Albertville and a 3-0 victory over St. Louis Park in the Orono Tournament. The Fire also tied St. Thomas Academy 2-2 on Sept. 1.
Goals were hard to come by the opening weekend for the Chaska soccer program. After being held to one goal in two games – one tie and one loss – the Hawks girls team looked for a spark in contest No. 3. A halftime talk from Coach Pat Prindle seemed to be the trick. Chaska pu l led away from the Wildcats, erupting for four goals in a 4-1 victory Thursday at the Middle School West Stadium. “The girls found it. It just clicked. They knew where the runners were and where to play the ball. They were very disciplined,” the Hawks coach said. Senior Cassidy Brougham, sophomores Ellie Knowles and Morgan Fogarty and freshman Kristina Muesing netted goals for the Hawks, who are 1-1-1 on the season. “Confidence is huge. We try to stay positive and stay strong with what we’re doing. We still believe both teams could win the conference if we want to. It comes down to our saying – ‘You put in what you want to receive,’” Prindle said. For the boys, Prindle hopes something “clicks” Saturday against Lakeville South just like it did for the girls team. Chaska has been held scoreless through three contests despite controlling play for most of the three matches. The Hawks lost to Hopkins 1- 0 in the opener and have followed it up with a 1-0 loss to Prior Lake and a scoreless draw with Waconia Sept. 1. “The cards haven’t fallen our way. We’re outshooting our opponents pretty handily. Other teams’ goalies have made some unbelievable saves. Against Hopkins we absolutely dominated, but we hit the pipe three times with the same shooter,” Prindle said.

Chaska senior Lauren Johnson brings the ball up from defense to create an offensive opportunity. The Hawks won their first contest 4-1 over Waconia. While the offense has been held quiet, the defense has been tremendous, allowing just two goals over six halves of play. A lot of the credit goes to sophomore goaltender Jorge Romero, according to Prindle. “Jorge has been standing on his head. A lot of it is he is making the saves you’re supposed to,” the coach said. “The good thing is we haven’t been blown out yet. We’re right there with every team. We’re staying positive – it’s coming,” Prindle added. With nine days between Waconia and Lakeville South – the game will be played at Lakeville North on Saturday due to unplayable fields – the team has been fine-tuning itself. “Both teams are working on speed and agility. We had a tough workout Monday and we’ll slowly cut it back each day. On the boys side, it’s just they’re not clicking at the right moments. But we’re getting it figured out and we’ll be fi ne,” the coach said. The boys take the field with the Cougars at 3 p.m. with the girls at 5 p.m.

Coming face-to-face with a male grizzly I’m continuing my Alaskan bear photography adventure in this column. During a twoweek period during late August, I was joined by two good friends and wildlife photographers traveling to several remote wilderness bear camps to photograph Alaskan brown bears. This consisted of boarding several small aircraft with all our gear and f lying into remote camps located in either Katmia or Lake Clark national parks. Each day we would get up early, pack up our gear and head out into the bush in search of bears. The only problem was it rained nearly every day. This is fairly common weather in coastal Alaska at this time of year and we were prepared for it. As you can imagine, photographing in the rain with high tech and expensive digital cameras and lenses is always a challenge. But nonetheless, we headed out every morning with hope in our hearts of capturing some amazing moments in the life of a coastal bear. We were not disappointed. One day the three of us were along a small braid of a large river. The stream was barely 12 feet wide and only a foot or so deep. A female bear and her cub were fishing this small section of river. The mother was very skilled at catching fish, but the fish were not very abundant so many hours would go by before any action. The mother would stand by the river watching for any signs of the elusive silver salmon. We were sitting in some tall sedge on the edge of the stream waiting for the female bear to run down to the stream so we could capture some action images of her fi shing. One time she turned off the main stream and started to move up a very small tributary that entered

the main channel at a right angle. As soon as she moved into the small channel we lost sight of her so we immediately got up and moved to see up the channel. What we saw was a bit concerning. The female had apparently gone up the tributary far enough so that now that we saw her she was running back down straight toward us. Behind her, submerged up to its neck in the water, was a large male grizz, also coming down the creek toward us, only moving much slower. It was obvious what the female bear had on her mind. She was getting the heck out of there. Soon as she hit the main channel she turned and scooted down the creek with her cub in tow. By now the male bear was right on top of us. I mean right on top of us, about 30 feet away. He climbed out of the creek, shook off this massive body sending water flying in all directions. He turned and gave us a look. At this point I became uncomfortable. It was obvious there was nothing we could do to get away from this bear at this time. This big male bear was within a half a second of charging distance now and there was nothing we could do about it. Suddenly the bear turned and defecated. The combined

Instantly we were almost knocked down with the odor of this male bear. He was sending a strong odiferous message. I looked around seeing about six female bears in the river valley stretched out before us. Each of these bears was now painfully aware of this male and all were hightailing it down the river to-
ward the ocean as quickly as they could. It’s amazing how just one male bear could clear out a normally peaceful river valley filled with congenial fishing female bears in just a few seconds. After eyeing us up, the male bear slowly and deliberately moved down the river valley. Lumbering along in what looked like slow motion. Having survived our close encounter just moments before
HAWKS ROUNDUP
Slow start for youthful volleyball squad Chaska isn’t familiar to losing, but the youthful Hawks are off to an 0-3 start following Thursday’s 3-1 defeat to Apple Valley. The Eagles pulled out the nonconference match 25-21, 25-16, 24-26 and 25-18. It was the home opener for Chaska. The Hawks lost to No. 5 Lakeville South on Tuesday, 3-1, falling 25-10, 25-12, 21-25 and 25-16. Freshman Erin Schindler led Chaska with 12 kills and three service aces, while freshman Lauren Nordvold added eight kills. Freshman Makayla Wenzel had 14 set assists, while senior Aimee Junget had 11 digs and 12 set assists. Chaska was in action on Tuesday against Burnsville in search of win No. 1. Results are available online at Scoreboard. MN. The Hawks host Northfield at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Missota Conference opener.
DUERR IMPRESSIVE IN SECOND RUN The Chanhassen girls cross country team got the best of Shakopee three times in 2010 – once at the Rolf Mellby Invitational, another time in the Missota Conference Championships and again at the Section 2AA Meet.
The Sabers returned the favor Friday, edging the Storm by two points for third place overall behind winner Roseville Area and runner-up East Ridge. Maria Hauger defended her invitational title with a blistering time of 13:56 on the same St. Olaf College course the Shakopee junior has captured the Class AA title the past two seasons. Hauger’s fastest time on the state course was 14:18 during the 2010 State Meet. Teammate Winona Rachel was third in the race with a time of 15:41. Shakopee fi nished with 122 points to Chanhassen’s 124. Seventh-grader Anastasia Korzenowski led the Storm with a seventh-place time of 15:55. Teammates Emily Castanias and Jordan Paschke were 17th and 26th, respectively, with times of 16:17 and 16:33. Chanhassen’s top seven runners finished before any other team had all seven competitors cross the fi nish line. Megan Gossfeld (35th, 16:53) and Annelise Severtson (39th, 16:55) rounded out the team score for the Storm. Holy Family Catholic and Chaska fi nished sixth and seventh overall in the team race, respectively. The Fire were led by Molly
and Maria Eastman, who posted top-15 times of 16:08 and 16:10. Michaela Rasmussen (29th, 16:35), Julia Orlow (32nd, 16:47) and Ellie Stepaniak (47th, 17:00) helped Holy Family finish with a team score of 136. “We got to compare ourselves to some of our new section opponents and our girls fared pretty well against some very solid Class AA schools,” said Holy Family coach Jim Kappel. “You can tell that our top girls have been training during the summer, and that they were ready to get the season underway. This was a great starting point to the 2011 season for this very young and very talented group of Fire runners.” The Hawks were a distant seventh with 203 points paced by Jenna Urick’s 33rd-place fi nish in a time of 16:50. Niina Stensrud (34th, 16:51), Kate Lowrey (38th, 16:54), Claire Bulat (41st, 16:57) and Anna Perrill (57th, 17:09) also had top-five times for Chaska. In the boys race, Chaska freshman sensation Joey Duerr continued his torrid start, cutting 99 seconds from his 2010 Rolf Mellby time in a second-place individual finish. The Hawks were eighth overall with 262 points. Eastview won
the invitational by 28 points over Owatonna with a score of 104. Last year Duerr was 66th overall with a time of 18:06. Fast forward a year and the Hawks freshman was runnerup at 16:27. Only Bloomington Jefferson’s Jan Ketterson was better at 16:21. Besides Duerr, eighth-grader Spencer Urick turned in a top-10 performance with a run of 17:12. Rounding out the team score were Nathan Hewitt (39th, 17:55), Jake Connealy (64th, 18:32) and Gavin Bjorklund (147th, 19:55). Chanhassen was fou r th with 177 points, while Holy Family Catholic added a 12thplace fi nish. Alec Olson and Kieran Kelly led the Storm in fifth- and sixth-places. Olson came in at 16:41, while Kelly was at 17:03. Austin Miller (31st, 17: 51), Dan Holovnia (67th, 18 : 26) and Cameron Economy (68th, 18:27) also had top-five times for Chanhassen. Jensen Orlow was the only Fire runner in the top 50 with a seventh-place time of 17:03. Chanhassen and Chaska are at Gale Woods in Minnetrista at 3 p.m. Thursday. Holy Family is at Bassett Creek in Golden Valley at 9 a.m. Saturday.
SPORTS BRIEFS

Local PGA Certified Director of Instruction at Halla Greens Brad Pluth fi red rounds of 77 and 69 to finish tied for 10th at the Minnesota Section Club Professional Championship at Medina Country Club Aug. 29-30. “That was one of the best ball striking rounds of my life,” said Pluth on his round of 69. Pluth implemented Mike Bender’s target zone training into his academy by placing 4’x4’ blocks in 10-yard increments starting at 30 yards and going out to 100 yards. Don Berry topped the field, winning his seventh championship with a four-under par score.
we had no choice but to follow this bear to see if we could get some better images of him. He paused several times along the river bank and looked back over his shoulder at us. The focus on our cameras locked on and we were able to capture some wonderful images of our big boy. High fives were in order and the three of us celebrated our good fortune. The encounter was our main topic of conversation for a long time after.

I jump into and stay in a lady’s lap for quite a long time. If you’re a guy, I won’t stay as long for some reason. I door greet, follow you, and leg rub. I enjoy petting, and having my head scratched. If you have wand toys we will have a good time together. I’m OK being held and you’ll enjoy my soothing purr. 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.

Terry is a friendly, wonderful 7-year-old Rat Terrier, who gets along great with kids and cats. He likes to follow you around the house, and loves to go on walks, both long and short, but must be on a leash or a fenced in yard because he also loves to chase squirrels. Terry is house trained and will let you know when he has to go outside either by sitting by the door or talking to you. He is a wonderful dog and would make a great addition to any family. Terry is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, tested for heartworm and has a microchip ID implant. His adoption fee is $300. Won’t you help this guy find a loving and forever home?

Keep your eyes on the finish line You drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration. You stretch to avoid injury. You wear the right shoes. You think about all the necessary precautions to keep your body healthy when running. But what are you doing to take care of your eyes? Minnesota has the highest incidence of age-related Macular Degeneration in the country, partly due to the Scandinavianethnic makeup and partly to the high number of sunny days, said Dr. Matthew Sharpe, an ophthalmologist with LasikPlus Vision Center in Edina, Maple Grove and Oakdale. LasikPlus, lasikplus.com, is a major sponsor of the Boots & Boas 5K.
Q & A with Jason Edwards Complete Nutrition is one of the Nutritional Food Sponsors (along with Pure Market Express) for the Sept. 10 Boots & Boas Dash/5K Run/Walk presented by St. Francis Regional Medical Center, Savvy.mn Magazine and Eden Prairie News. Learn more by visiting Active.com and searching for “Boots & Boas 5K.” Jason Edwards is the owner of the Eden Prairie, Edina, Burnsville and Maple Grove Complete Nutrition stores, completenutrition.com. Q. Describe what your business offers. A. Complete Nutrition is a general health and nutrition store committed to helping customers look better, feel better and perform better every day. We offer trained consultants that develop one-to-one relationships while customizing weight loss and muscle building solutions thorough exclusive products. Our personal consultants
are fitness experts that can customize exercise and diet plans regardless of experience level of each client. Eight more Complete Nutrition stores are set to open over the next two years in Minnesota. Q. Why do you care about nutrition? How did you get into your field? A. I grew up in a family that experienced obesity and witnessed the effects it had on my immediate family. I decided fairly early in life that I wanted to focus my career on helping people live healthier lives which is why I completed my undergraduate degree in Health Education and Health Promotion. I was fortunate to work on several projects in which we focused on the dietary habits of several underprivileged communities and saw how having a plan increased the overall well-being of the participants.
Q. How has eating right/paying attention to good nutrition improved your life or the lives of those you know? A. I think the most important aspect to living a healthier lifestyle is having a plan. Living healthy is a commitment, not a destination. This is not something we start and end. I believe supplementation is only one piece of the foundations necessary for clients to be successful. Making choices to replace bad habits with good habits like drinking water and not soda, eating out less, taking a multi-vitamin, getting more REM sleep and eating smaller meals is essential to any successful plan. I have found that paying attention to my diet has helped increased my energy levels and improved my overall sleeping habits. I also have more energy to keep up with my 9-

and 7-year-olds as I am taking them to events all over the city. I am by no means perfect in my diet. I have an occasional pizza, burger or beer, but I do so in moderation. I am not a believer in depriving myself; rather, I believe that good health comes from being aware of unhealthy eating habits and that a cheat meal today does not mean I have seven more during the week. Q. Would you share with us a guilty food or drink pleasure? A. My favorite cheat meal is Mexican food; chips and salsa, margaritas and chicken el carbon de pollo. After living in Tucson, Arizona for three years, I fell in love with food south of the border and chose it as my comfort food whenever I cheat. The key is the cheat meal only comes once a week, not every day. Melissa Gilman
Q. What should runners be thinking about when it comes to eye safety while running? A. Sunglasses should be light and comfortable and prevent side entry of sunlight as much as possible. Q. When it comes to sunglasses, what should runners be looking for? A. Ultraviolet light protection standards in the US are the highest in the world, and this is the most important part of the sunglasses. One doesn’t need to buy designer or very expensive sunglasses to get this. Q. Are there special styles of sunglasses that offer the best protection for active runners? A. Many of the sports glasses already being worn are of the “wraparound” style that prevents sun from coming in the sides. Running in winter may make this even more important, as the reflection off snow increases overall sun exposure. Kristin Holtz

BARBER THE WINE ROGUE
So you’ve come back. Do you really think you can just come traipsing back into my life again after leaving for an entire summer? You want me to just pick you up again as if everything was fine? Am I really supposed to just take you back? Sorry honey. I’ve moved on. I’ve met so many fantastic white wines after you left that I barely even remembered you. I met a Torrontes from Argentina. That’s right. We saw Shakespeare in the Park together. Did you know I spent some time on the beach with a Sauvignon Blanc from California? Yup. That was in June and I’ve had that same wine three times since then. Uh huh. Unlike you, it’s crisp and it’s bright and it refreshes me like you never did. Did you hear I met a Viognier for the first time this July? Well I did. I even brought it to my family picnic. Guess what? They loved it. I might even take it over and introduce it to the guys on game night. So don’t even try to weasel back in like you and me got it goin’ on. Did you know I had to put the big red wine glasses away after you left? I should have known you wouldn’t be around once the weather got nice. I was so stupid! And I have no doubt that you’re
probably showing up in other people’s glasses right now too. No! We’re done! Things are different now. We. Are. Done. Don’t get me wrong. I wish you well. I mean, you always did go well with steak. Do you still go well with steak? I bet you do. Remember that night at the cabin? The night of two bottles? You were amazing. You’re always amazing on a cold night. We were good
together, weren’t we? It would be fun to do something like that again. We have so much history together. It would be a shame to just turn our backs on so much history. Okay, maybe I’ll have just one glass. For old time’s sake — but I’m not taking you back. This week’s recommendation: Guglielmo Private Reserve, Petite Sirah 2007 ($24.99): With flavors of smoke, chocolate, and
leather, Guglielmo tastes like something we love to reminisce about but are careful not to talk about. This wine is big and meaty and buxom and delicious and a great way to welcome back the big red wine season. Grab a bottle and create some history.

NEWS BRIEFS
Girl Scouts to honor alumnae To celebrate the Girl Scouts’ legacy of leadership development and recognize alumnae, Girl Scouts of Minnesota and Wisconsin River Valleys is accepting nominations for the Centennial 10 0 Awards through Sept. 15. The Centennial 100 Awards will honor 100 Girl Scout alumnae in five categories, including Trailblazer, Guide, Community Champion, Forever Green, and Women of Promise. Honorees are women who, through their lives and work, exemplify the culture, values, diversity, and spirit of the Girl Scout Movement.
“This award is our way of recognizing the amazing Girl Scout alumnae in our area. We’re acknowledging their achievements, and also reconnecting these distinguished alumnae with current Girl Scouts to provide positive, female role models for these young, future leaders,” stated Elissa Chaffee, alumnae relations director, Girl Scouts River Valleys, in a press release. “With more than 50 million Girl Scout alumnae, including approximately 400,000 in River Valleys’ service area, it’s no surprise the vast majority of America’s most accomplished women wer e Gi rl S c out s . Chances are there’s a woman in your life who deserves recognition for her accomplishments
and community contributions,” stated the press release. “A nyone c a n nom i n at e. Think of an amazing woman in your life and fi nd out if she has a Girl Scout connection. Look to your coworkers, friends, neighbors, mentors or mentees, or an accomplished woman in the community who you admire, like a city councilwoman, teacher, or engaged volunteer. Employers are also encouraged to identify deserving Girl Scout alumnae within their organizations as candidates for the prestigious Centennial 100 Awards.” Girl Scout alumna Marilyn Carlson Nelson, chair of Carlson, will host the Centennial 100 Awards Gala on April 21, 2012 at the Minneapolis
Convention Center. More info about the nomination process for the awards is available at GSRV100.org. In partnership with 18,000 adults, Girl Scouts of Minnesota and Wisconsin River Valleys helps nearly 45,000 girls each year—in all or portions of 49 counties in southern Minnesota and western Wisconsin. For more information, call (800) 845-0787 or visit GirlScoutsRV. org.

Home repairs for when the kids head back to school A
s your family heads back to school, take some time to complete a few simple home repairs. Doing your “home”-work projects now will allow you to spend more time with your family and less time fi xing, cleaning and repairing things this fall.
Get outside for some yard work After a summer full of outdoor fun, it’s time to tidy the yard before winter comes. Clean and safely place any outdoor furniture in storage. Once the furniture is put away, give your deck or patio a good power washing. Bring your indoor plants back inside and prune your trees and shrubs to encourage healthy growth. You should also remove any leaves or debris from your gutters to avoid clogs or other drainage issues.
Inspect the driveway While you’re outside, check your driveway and patch any cracks or potholes that may have resulted from the summer heat. You
may also want to consider resealing your driveway in the fall to keep it smooth and even all year long. Sealing your driveway will also protect it from any winter snow or ice damage.
Organize your garage Fall is an ideal time to clean the garage and clear out any unwanted items your family has collected over the summer. Invest in a good storage system that will keep you organized, and clear pathways around vehicles and doors. Move your rake or leaf blower to the front of the garage and consider placing holiday or winter items in an accessible spot for the coming season.
Install a remote thermostat With the kids back in school, your home may now be unoccupied for a large portion of the day. Lowering your thermostat while the family is away can provide substantial cost savings. A programmable thermostat will allow you to create custom
temperature settings for the hours you are home and away. Some models, like the AccuLink(TM) Remote Thermostat from American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning, allow you to set and control your home’s temperature remotely using most Web-enabled cell phones and computers.
Check and seal your windows Proper insulation will not only keep your family comfortable, but it may also help to improve the overall energy efficiency of your home. Air drafts are often easy to spot. First, make sure your windows are tightly shut. Then, feel around the edges of your windows for air leaks. If you feel a draft, you can easily seal the leaks with do-it-yourself caulk or weatherstripping. Seasonal maintenance will help to protect your home and prepare it for winter. With a little effort this fall, your “home”-work will be sure to make the grade. Source: ARA Content

Libraries increasingly rely on loans As our budget shrinks, we rely more and more on interlibrary loan to get those books that people need. I have been availing myself of this service. I have read the whole “Jane Wheel” series by Sharon Sloan Fiffer; and also I am completing the “Aurelio Zen” series by Michael Dibdin. Unfortunately we no longer own all these books. I loved the “Zen” shows on Mystery, and wanted to revisit the books. Now I am reading “Dead Lagoon” (set in Venice), coming up is “Cosi fan tutti” and “Blood Rain.” I have also requested books on sewing and knitting doll clothes for the American Girl dolls, and DVDs. Interlibrary loan requests can take one to four weeks to arrive. They are on the hold shelf for one week, and they cannot be renewed. These books can be requested using your library card number, from any library in the state via MNLINK, there is a link to this merged state-wide catalog from our classic catalog page. You can place holds on available books yourself, if you have any questions, ask a librarian to show you how to do it.
