HERALD

Thirsty for Surly Chaska hopes to land popular metro brewery

BY MARK W. OLSON & MOLLEE FRANCISCO editor@chaskaherald.com

T

he city of Chaska is lobbying the Surly Brewing Company to move to Chaska.

“Well we’re a German town,” joked Chaska City Administrator Matt Podhradsky, when contacted on the topic.

Surly, a popular craft beer brewery, is based in Brooklyn Center and is seeking a new home. With heavy lobbying by Surly fans during the last session, the state Legislature passed a law allowing breweries to sell beer on site. The move paves the way for Surly to proceed with plans for a $20 million destination brewery, with a restaurant, beer garden and event center.

It was recently reported that the cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul, Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center and Elk River are all lobbying to be the brewery’s new home. A call from the Herald to Surly for comment was not returned.

The city of Chaska contacted Surly to consider the city owned Chaska Building Center site, off of County Road 61, according to Podhradsky.

“We’ve provided the information,

but we haven’t had a conversation,” said Podhradsky.

The city has contacted Surly twice,

Dan Keyport said demand for Surly at his Dolce Vita Wine Shop in downtown Chaska has been up since the public learned that Chaska was vying to bring the brewery to town. beginning about two months ago, Podhradsky said. “We’ve been trying our darndest to try to get some kind of a meeting set up.”

Chaska was prompted to contact the brewery following a radio interview in which brewery owner Omar Ansari said he was considering locations other than Minneapolis,

Podhradsky said. “When he came out and said that, we pretty quickly jumped on putting information together,” Podhradsky said.

NO RESPONSE So far, Chaska hasn’t received a response. Neither has Dolce Vita Wine Shop owner Dan Keyport, who also

contacted Surly to plug Chaska. He believes the brewery would make for a great destination site for the city.

“People would come from all over,” he said, noting that sales of Surly at his shop jumped when the public heard that Chaska could be in the running.

Everything is coming together for the third annual Nordic Music Festival this Saturday at Lake Waconia Regional Park.

Get ready to have a few Nordic stereotypes shattered. “We love parties. We love gatherings. I don’t know if people know that about us. We love to get together and jam, and love to get together and share with one another,” said Carolyn Spargo, of Chaska, Nordic Heritage Club vice-president/ founder, and one of the event’s organizers. “Usually you think of Nordic people as quiet and cold, but we really aren’t,” Spargo said.

This year, festival organizers have lined up 10 music and dance groups, representing Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. Among the musicians will be Paul Dahlin, a folk fiddler who recently was awarded Knight First Class of the Polar Star

According to the complaint, Zunker is accused of sexually touching the alleged female victim on several occasions between Aug. 15, 2010, and Aug. 15, 2011. Zunker is accused of sexually touching the victim both over and under her clothing, according to the complaint.

In August, the Carver County Sheriff’s Office and a child protection social worker learned of the alleged sexual abuse.

Zunker was officially charged on Sept. 9 and is scheduled to appear in court Sept. 16.

Zunker could not be reached for comment.

Members of the Carver County Republican Party are scheduled to meet Thursday to select a new chair.

Several members of the party’s executive committee were caught off-guard by the allegations.

T he Di st ric t 11 2 School Board voted unanimously at its Thursday night meeting to hold a referendum on a $1,983,000 annual levy to fund technology at schools.

The district will put the referendum to voters on Nov. 8 and, 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 $250,000 commercial or industrial property would face a tax increase of about $149 per year.

“There is never a good time to ask for more tax money, but it is time when student needs compel us to,” said District 112 Superintendent Jim Bauck. “We have spent the right amount of time debating it, the recent community survey indicates there is support and the [Minnesota Department of Education] Commissioner’s sta f f supports it, stating it is one of the best plans they’ve seen in the past couple years.”

“ It i s a l so obv iou s t h i s amount is wel l behind the a mou nt s compa red to ou r world around us,” said District 112 School Board member Tim Klein.

District 112 would use the funds for wireless infrastructure, 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.

Prior to the technology levy, local taxpayers pay more for local schools than most surrounding school districts. Currently, an owner of a $240,000 home pays $1,442 annually, behind only Farmington and Elk River.

“Those three districts, along with Lakeville and Shakopee are all growing districts and have built new schools recently,” said Diane Kaiser, District 112 director of information technologies.

“Most of the other districts have not built a new school in 20 years,” said Bauck. “In addition, homeowners in this district

Civil disobedience Chaska grad arrested in pipeline protests

CHASKA

Preliminary levy stays stable at $4.88 million City tax rate poised to rise

In other council news:

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

Gary and Nancy Haaheim knew it was only a matter of time before their son Justin was arrested. When it fi nally happened on Aug. 31, they marked the occasion by sending out a press release.

“Honestly, I couldn’t be prouder,” said mom Nancy in a phone interview.

Nancy’s reaction might not be the typical parent’s reaction to news of their child’s arrest, but the Haaheims stand behind their son completely.

Justin, 27, a 2002 Chaska High School graduate, was one of 1,252 people arrested in front of the White House in Washington, D.C. as part of a two-week sit-in by Tar Sands Action of TransCanada’s Keystone XL pipeline project.

“This is the third time I’ve risked arrest,” explained Justin, noting that while their protest was peaceful, stationing themselves in front of the White House is against the law. (“You have to keep moving,” he said.)

But arrests are all part of a carefully orchestrated strategy designed to attract attention to a cause. “People turn to civil disobedience when they feel like they’ve worked through all the other channels available,” he said.

Justin works as a community clean energy organizer at Clean Water Action in Hartford, Conn. and is both the Connecticut regional coordinator at 350.org and lead organizer for New Haven environmental group ActNH. org. He graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College in 2006 and went on to receive his Master’s Degree in environmental ethics and philosophy from Yale Divinity School in 2010.

“This is basically his life,” said father Gary in a phone interview.

“He’s quite passionate,” agreed Nancy. “The more research he does, the more passionate he gets.”

“I have a deep sense of importance for what I do,” said Justin.

Deferments, reductions and another hike to the city’s tax rate will fill Chaska’s $400,000 budget gap next year. Monday night, the council voted unanimously to approve a $4.88 million preliminary tax levy for 2012.

“We feel that this allows us to meet those budget objectives that we’ve set out,” said City Administrator Matt Podhradsky, noting that one of the city’s priority goals has been to maintain services while keeping the tax rate constant.

Minnesota cities are mandated to set a preliminary levy by Sept.

15 each year. The fi nal levy will be set in December at which point the council can choose to lower, but not raise, that figure.

It’s the third year in a row that the council has set the levy at $4.88 million and the second year in a row that the city has been forced to raise its tax rate to keep the levy steady in the face of declining home values.

Podhradsky said they don’t yet know what the city’s tax rate will be for 2012 due to the elimination of the Market Value Homestead Credit Program, in which the state paid a portion of local property taxes. However, the state is rolling out a new program to reduce market values to provide tax relief. Podhradsky said the county is working through the process now to figure out the exact details and what it will mean for property owners.

“The tax rate will go up some,” said Podhradsky. “We just don’t know what.”

The city does know what the $4.88 million levy will mean to the average Chaska homeowner. The average homeowner in Chaska can expect a $9 reduction in city property taxes.

Podhradsky explained that the average home in Chaska was valued at just over $200,000 in 2011 and paid $471 in city taxes. For 2012, that average home’s market value dropped by 5.9 percent, resulting in a value of around $188,000 and a city tax bill of $461.

Podhradsky stressed that the city’s taxes will remain among the lowest in the metro and the lowest

CARBON BOMB The Tar Sands Action g roup’s “wave” of civil disobedience was

Justin Haaheim was voluntarily arrested in front of the White House on Aug. 31 as part of a protest of the Keystone XL pipeline. planned to shine a light on concerns they have about the massive pipeline that would stretch from Alberta, Canada through the center of the United States to refi neries along the Gulf Coast in Texas. At completion, the $13 billion pipeline would stretch more than 1,600 miles and carry up to 800,000 barrels of oil per day, making it one of the largest pipelines in the country.

“It’s really scary what we’re headed towards,” offered Justin.

A mong the controversies su rrounding the Keystone XL, Justin said they take issue with enormous resources necessary to complete it, the loss of private property and the environmental risks it would pose.

The Alberta Tar Sands have drawn criticism for the intensive process used to extract and refi ne the carbonladen crude.

“It’s a giant fuse to the biggest carbon bomb on the planet,” he said.

Justin said that the pipeline would carry a risk of oil spill incidents that could affect the drinking supply for more than 20 million people in the nation’s heartland. It also encourages dependence on fossil fuels rather than promoting development of greener energy sources, he said.

“This is taking 10 steps backwards, 20 steps backwards,” said Justin.

“We’re running in the wrong direction.”

Tar Sands Action members hope that their protest convinces President Obama to vote down the project.

For more information on Justin Haaheim, visit www. justinhaaheim.com. For information on the Tar Sands issue, check out tarsandsaction. org or visit www.350ct.org for more on grassroots climate action.

“The president has the power to veto this,” explained Justin. “And there’s a huge group of people calling on him to do this.” The group brought with them a petition containing more than 618,000 signatures opposing the pipeline. Their cause has drawn support from politicians and pastors to scientists and celebrities. (“Splash” actress Darryl Hannah was among those arrested during the two-week sit-in.)

Justin isn’t solely interested in saving the environment though. He believes that his cause can do widespread good.

“We’re interested in how we can build an economy that can sustain itself,” he said. “Everything we’re talking about is how we can build that.”

Reducing the country’s dependence on fossil fuels and exploring alternative energies like solar and wind technology can create jobs and propel the United States into the future, said Justin.

“The stu f f we’re doing is pro America,” he said.

The city approved the establishment of an annual Chaska Human Rights Award. The first nominations will take place this October with the recipient being honored in December.

The city’s prosecution contract rate is expected to drop from $43,807 in 2011 to $42,493 in 2012. Chaska cases have accounted for 53 percent of the county’s load over the last three years.

The contract will be on the council’s agenda for a vote on Sept. 19.

Bountiful Basket’s lease of the former water treatment plant was approved. The city will undergo up to $450,000 in renovations on the facility so that the food shelf can move in around the first of the year. Bountiful Basket will pay $2,000 monthly rent.

The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) levy for 2012 was approved unanimously at $74,864.

in Carver County at around $202 per capita. His positivity was echoed by Mayor Mark Windschitl.

“The fact that we can do what we’re trying to do and not lose any services, I don’t know, I always feel good about that,” said Windschitl. “I can walk away and know nothing’s changing and we’re not raising your taxes. So I think we’re doing OK.” In addition to the levy, the city is proposing to fi ll the gap through deferments and reductions, including the removal of planned funding for the addition of a second community service officer, as well as an additional school resource officer. A Public Works maintenance worker position will be deferred until city growth demands it and the purchases of new Public Works and police vehicles will also be put off.

To balance the budget, the city will further propose reducing the funding of the sealcoat/overlay program by $50,000.

Employee salaries and benefits are not on the chopping block as of yet.

Podhradsky noted that it is a contract year and they have just begun to go through the process. The current budget assumes that personnel costs will increase between 2 and 2.5 percent for each of the next three years while benefits are expected to rise by 6 percent annually.

Chaska’s Truth in Taxation meeting is set for Dec. 5.

GUEST COMMENTARY

Seeking the truth regarding Sharia law

BY PHIL BENSON

Finding it a bit distressing that even some fellow freethinking DFL members were drinking the tea and developing concern that the far-right’s shadowy conspiracy theory of the day might actually have some substance, the Carver County DFL Central Committee has done what intelligent people do. They have asked representatives from the Muslim community to address the monthly Central Committee meeting on Sept. 21. Everyone is welcome. The meeting will be held at the Chanhassen Library and the speakers will address the group at 6:45 p.m.

The conspiracy theory of the day being promoted by the fear-mongers on the far-right, of course, is the hoopla about Sharia law, a form of Islamic religious law. The loudest voices in the anti-Sharia law movement claim that Islamic forces are attempting to insinuate Sharia law into our democratic institutions to form a Taliban-like caliphate. These voices include several “nonprofit” organizations and Republican politicians who appear to be profiting from donations from those who have succumbed to this artificial threat.

Please don’t give them any money.

Much like other xenophobic and fi fth column scares in our history, this rubbish will soon fade.

Here’s the truth about Sharia law.

The Constitution protects our right to worship as we please and if that worship includes living a different, but otherwise lawful way of life that is guided by scripture, then we can choose to do so as individuals.

Our Constitution also protects the rights of every citizen to enter into contracts and, assuming that the con-

tract violates no law or public policy, our Constitution requires our courts to uphold it. In that way, since the founding of our republic, members of different religious sects, including Christians, Muslims and Jews, have entered into binding agreements to permit various civil and family law disputes to be determined pursuant to their own religious traditions, judges and scholars and those agreements are upheld in our courts. This is nothing more than arbitration.

Thus, for example, some religious Jews enter into contracts, including marriage contracts, between themselves to permit civil disputes to be decided in a Jewish Court, a Beth Din, under Jewish law and the results will be upheld by our courts. To deny this right is to deny the right of free exercise of religion guaranteed by the Constitution.

Sharia, Mosaic and other religious laws will not intrude into or inform our criminal laws unless we permit them to do so under the rules of our Constitution.

Thus, if Minnesota’s legislature decides to pass a law permitting a form of criminal punishment that traces its origins to a religious code (for example, “an eye for an eye” justice), it would require a like-minded electorate and governor to support such a bill and it would still need to pass review by the courts under the “cruel and unusual” restrictions on punishment contained in the Constitution.

If all this still mystifies you, come and meet some great community leaders who also happen to be Muslim and get your questions answered.

Phil Benson, of Watertown Township, is the affirmative action officer for the Carver County DFL.

Be true to your students As the new school year is upon us, it is a good time to reflect on the quality of education provided to our community through the efforts of all those in District 112.

Many people looking for homes in the area want to find a place with a true sense of community and want a quality education system. The commitment to quality education is strong in our community, and has been strong for many years. It is as strong as the people who deliver those services, and the tremendous commitment they possess.

Educators are very real builders of community. There is no stronger

All of us must value education and believe that every learner will have the opportunity to maximize their results. There’s a lot in that statement, but it needs our time and attention to ensure it is not just words.

If it truly takes a village, then let’s figure out what that means, and ensure every student has opportunity and hope, and that it is not lost in the vastness of a large district.

and find fruit for breakfast and vegetables for supper. In my view, it doesn’t get much better then that.

My American Dream home is currently painted light yellow that Sherwin Williams prefers calling ‘Navajo White.’ Gone are the bleak gray colors and the 1970s unappealing hot orange front door that greeted us when we first looked at it with a Realtor in 2000.

However, the surprise of a screen porch out back, a large raspberry patch, two pear trees, an apple tree and a plum tree with gardens and a clothesline were selling points for me! In my mind, this is what I would call my American Dream home.

An established neighborhood was also on my list, and this home fit that criteria. It was interesting to know that most neighbors had lived here for all their married lives and raised their sons and daughters here. Most called their homes their retirement home because of the lovely large lots and the forest of trees making living here as if ‘up north.’

In the 11 years I have been here I have made friendships with many of my established neighbors. I have become familiar with their established routines, sounds and voices. I grew to expect them because they have become a part of my day and life.

I know the sound of their chainsaws trimming the huge trees usually after a storm. I hear the voices of their conversations about the gardens, when the tomatoes will be red, if they had any tomatoes at all, and about the deer that visited the night before grazing over the gardens or the rabbits doing the same. I know who it is and which home and yard the echoing voices are coming from. It is reassuring to hear and especially nice when it is laughter and fun!

I know the evening is falling into

Power made perfect in weakness

Gordon

STEWART

“On the 10th anniversary of 9/11 the change we wish to see begins with our hearts and minds. It begins with a modern re-affirmation of the truth that God’s power is made perfect in weakness, not in violence or brute strength, for God’s power is the power of vulnerable compassion.”

darkness and like clockwork certain lights go on at certain homes. I hear the neighbor on his deck with the unique giant laugh and I smile knowing it must be 5 p.m. on a Saturday and it is time for starting up his grill. Each riding lawn mower has its distinctive sound. And the ‘dropping of the blades’ is music to my ears. I can identify the dogs by their different barks.

I have seen our neighborhood children grown up and have attended their graduation parties. I hear their voices when they return for visits. I know which home the visitor’s voices are coming from and I know their vehicles now. I hear the expected sounds of a few playing children and most are the grandchildren of my neighbor’s. They love coming to the unique woods of the neighborhood that provides large lots to run in and a fostering of their imaginations.

I will fondly remember the evening walks during the autumn of the year inhaling the wood smoke from a fireplace. I am safe walking in this neighborhood after dark, with only a fear of colliding with a deer I may see dashing out and crossing the street in front of me as I keep running.

And it has always been a pleasure hearing the owl at night and sometimes I see it diving to the ground after a rabbit with a wingspan that leaves me breathless. For me, I was experiencing oldfashioned living in a suburb setting and I had found my American Dream!

Rev. Gordon Stewart On the 10th anniversary of the horrors of 9/11, we Americans will gather all the across the country to remember, to reflect, to pray, and to ask again who we are and what we are to do in response to the great evil that struck us on 9/11.

On the 10th anniversary of 9/11 the change we wish to see begins with our hearts and minds. It begins with a modern re-affirmation of the truth that God’s power is made perfect in weakness, not in violence or brute strength, for God’s power is the power of vulnerable compassion.

The first thing to surrender, as an act of faith, is the arrogance of power, and a bold affirmation of the holiness that surrounds us on every side.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.

But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he [the Gardener] makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.”

In the face of horrific evil, though we may feel helpless to make a difference, we join Jesus and the prophet Micah to answer again the question of what to do. “What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly” (…very, very humbly) “with your God? We remember and trust the promise that “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

The Rev. Gordon Stewart is pastor of Shepherd of the Hill Presbyterian Church, 145 Engler Boulevard in Chaska; and host of the First Tuesday Dialogues: Examining critical public issues locally and globally. Stewart’s guest commentaries air frequently on “All Things Considered” (MPR 91.1 FM) and his perspectives are published by the Chaska Herald, Presbyterian Outlook, MinnPost.com and MPR.

My American Dream home consequently, has little to do with my homes amenities and instead all to do with an established neighborhood I have grown to love.

I have experienced harvest from the land, and a helping hand often from my neighbor’s kindness. I will miss the routine as my heart and my mind has beat to the drum of the seasons for the work necessary on these properties.

This was never a job, but rather a privilege. As I leave the privilege, I am grateful for all I was blessed with in harvest and in friendship.

I do not choose to leave my home, or the people, the grown trees and wildlife that have become my best friends, my circumstances do.

Another family will move in and will beat to the drum of the seasons. They will find friends in nature and in the neighborhood and complete the remodeling.

For me, I will celebrate the 11 years I experienced as my true American Dream; finished or unfinished the dream was mine woven forever in my memory and life story.

two fully equipped hospitals, to say nothing of turning a budget surplus into massive deficits or turning Earth itself into pile of cinders.

There are 4,474 American soldiers who have died in Iraq; 1,759 in Afghanistan, and a conservative estimate of 33,139 soldiers injured in Iraq, while , in the month of June alone, 32 American soldiers committed suicide.

They are dying in despair, and their families are grieving as much as the surviving relatives of those who died on 9/11. They are dying and taking their lives because the sense of the holiness of life has disappeared in the rush to power.

Few people understand this as well as Erik Reece, an instructor of environmental journalism who chronicled the mining of Lost Mountain in Kentucky over a several months. “Our most modern sin,” he writes, “is that we do not love the world enough.

We have exiled the holy from this realm so we can turn its mountains into money.

I came here to see what an eastern mountain looks like before, during, and after its transformation into a western desert.”

In 2009, Reece published “An American Gospel: On Family, History, and the Kingdom of God.” Here, Reece recalls his own struggle with his religious heritage.

His grandfather, a Baptist minister, fervently preached that it is what happens in the afterlife that matters, not what happens here on Earth.

But seeing the destruction of the mountains around him, Reece’s faith came to a different view of man’s role on the planet. He writes that “the more mainstream Christianity emphasizes a theology of salvation from this world, the more it ignores Jesus’ teachings of how we should act while we inhabit this earthly realm. The kingdom of God lies all around us,” he writes, “not waiting in the sweet hereafter.”

Hwy. 41 N.

who opposed him now mimic his madness. No one knew this better than Doris Haddock (“Granny D.”) or Dwight David Eisenhower. Anyone remember Granny D? In 1999 shortly after her 89th birthday, Granny D began walking across America in support of campaign finance reform. She walked for 14 months and covered 3,200 miles on her way to Washington, D.C. “Just as an unbalanced mind can accumulate stresses that can grow and take on a life of their own,” she said, “so little decisions of our modern life can accumulate to the point where our society finds itself bombing other people for their oil, or supporting dictators who torture whole populations — all so that our unbalanced interests might be served.”

In a much earlier speech delivered in 1953 President Eisenhower, the war hero of World War II, declared: “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hope of its children … This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

“The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 people. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals.”

In the wake of the terrible tragedy of 9/11, our military response to the senseless deaths of the 3,000 people who died on 9/11, more than 100,000 innocent civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan have died, their homes have been destroyed, their children maimed, their hopes for a better life destroyed or delayed. And, here at home, the cost of a single bomber has robbed our children of 30 new schools, two electric power plants and

GUEST COMMENTARY

Eden Prairie Players Presents

ASHLEY

@

Century Blvd.

Editor’s note: This column is excerpted from a sermon the Rev. Gordon Stewart preached at Shepherd of the Hill Presbyterian Church in Chaska on the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001.

For the full sermon, visit www. shepherdofthehillchurch.com.

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Today, the 10th Anniversary of 9/11, we gather to bear witness to the kingdom of God and to the power of weakness in the face of great evil. We come as a people of memory and hope.

The morning of 9/11 is etched in our memories. Each of us remembers where we were when we learned that a plane, and then another, had flown into the World Trade Center towers. The pictures are indelibly imprinted on our psyches. Pictures of apocalyptic horror. And the psychic and social shock that followed throughout the day with a third plane whose target was the White House going down over Pennsylvania and a fourth taking out a section of the Pentagon.

We wondered then, and we wonder 10 years later, how any human being could do this.

Great evil always comes as a shock, but for Christians and for Jews it does not come as a surprise.

More than 100 years ago, on a different national anniversary that marked the 24th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, Frederick Douglass delivered a speech in Washington, D.C. “Where justice is denied,” he said, “where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.” Douglass was looking back to the horrors of the slave blocks, but his wisdom is eternal.

The 20th century was arguably the ghastliest and most ghoulish 100 years in the history of the human species. The First World War – the war that was to end all wars – was quickly followed by a proud but embarrassed country in economic distress embracing a mad man, the creation of the German Third Reich, a Second World War, and the concentration camps and gas chambers that mercilessly executed 6,000,000 of its Jewish citizens, gays, lesbians, gypsies and political dissenters.

There are some who say that Hitler won his war after all. Why? Because even those

Ten years later: Remembering 9/11

BY DEBI YLITALO

We will “all remember the day when” – those hijacked airplanes were flying through our skies and a day in history was made. We will “all remember the day when and what I was doing” – when loved ones were lost and heroes were made.

On that day at 8:46 a.m., when hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 was crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, I was getting my oldest daughter ready for school. I did not have the television or radio on. I did

ROEPKE continued from page 4

As we continue to grow, let us make sure we are that village – a community that truly cares, believes in education and is proud of those who are part of our school district and proud of our Chaska High School.

That high school is 107 years old. It has a proud history and a rich tradition.

not hear of the news.

On that day at 9:03 a.m., when hijacked United Airlines Flight 175 was crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center, I was listening to my youngest daughter’s chatter on the way to daycare.

I did not have the radio on. I did not hear of the news.

On that day at 9:37 a.m., when hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 was crashed into the Pentagon, I was at work. I did not have access to television or radio. I did not hear of the news.

On that day at 9:59 a.m., when the South Tower fell, I

was at work. I began to hear the word circulating around of the tragedies. No one knew for sure what was happening.

On that day at 10:03 a.m., when hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 was heroically retaken over by the passengers and crashed near Shanksville, Penn., instead of supposed target either the Capitol or The White House, I was at work. No one had complete answers to the questions.

On that day at 10:28 a.m., when the North Tower fell, I was at work. There were still no complete answers to the questions.

On that day at 5:21 p.m., when the 7 World Trade Center Tower collapsed due to the falling debris of the North Tower’s collapse, I was home.

My family was home. We were safe.

Today, as I watch the History channel reviewing the historical events of 911, I hear Fire Captain, David Testa from the Pentagon site say, “I never hated – ever, until that day. I hated that day; and I never hated anybody. Mom, I don’t feel well because I hate someone now.”

Another statement I hear from military personnel

is, “They were our heroes, not victims. All of them are heroes.” Then, “We are making a determined return to our ordinary lives.”

Back to Fire Captain David Testa saying, “At a ballgame for my son … the hot dogs were cooking … the popcorn was popping … and the cheerleaders were cheering, and I remembered …

I remembered why I did this.

I remembered why we do this.

And, I remembered what we were fighting for. It was a good day; it was a very good day.”

What do you remember? I remember the quietness … the

quietness in our skies … the quietness of our roadways, as people stayed indoors … the quietness as people emerged and were in shock.

I remember seeing, hearing and feeling the range of emotions – shock, fear, anger, sadness, and hope; and, I see the strength … the determination … the resilience … of our great country.

Let us remember: We are the United States of America, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all!

Debi Ylitalo is a Chaska resident.

It has won awards and championships at the highest level and has a proud and strong alumni. Let us continue to build on that rich tradition.

Let us be proud of that high school and continue that rich heritage and strong tradition.

Again, let that not just be words, but actions, supporting our schools.

Communities are as strong as their schools. Schools are as strong as the commitment

the community has to its education system.

As we say all of this, let’s make sure there is not an entitlement attitude as it relates to community support.

That support must be earned, but we have a lot of evidence over all the years that there is good reason to offer up our support.

We can also be motivated and excited by the opportunities that the students of today and

tomorrow will be adding to this rich heritage. Our community looks forward to a year of opportunity, excitement and success for each and every student.

You need not be a star player or on the student council or the lead in a play, but someone who belongs to this district for us to say we are proud that you are a part of our school and our community. We need to ensure students know that is true

and what we believe. We need them to believe those words.

We can only do that if it is seen in our actions! Good luck.

Our community wishes you all the very best!

Finally, as we all remember 9/11, it is only appropriate to say thanks to all those that serve us each and every day – our police, fire and military.

We hardly say thanks enough but we will always remember the events of 9/11

and the heroism that was demonstrated by so many and the resolve that our country has demonstrated as a result.

Each day, no matter how seemingly harmless it may seem, we need to realize how many lives were affected and changed forever.

It only takes a moment to remember and say a short prayer.

Bob Roepke is a former Chaska mayor.

Vivian F. Kraemer

Charles ‘Manthey’ Laabs

Nancy Irene Claeys

Vivian Frances (Cottrell) Kraemer was born Sept. 4, 1916 in Cresbard, SD to William and Meta (Delzer) Cottrell. She attended Northern Teacher’s College in Aberdeen, SD for one year and transferred to Winona State Teacher’s College graduating in 1938. Vivian taught in a one room school near Dodge Center, MN for eight years.

While in the Dodge Center area she met and became engaged to Richard Kraemer. They were married on March 19, 1946 in O’Neill, NE, where they were farmers. They returned to Minnesota living in Dodge Center and then making their home in Shakopee in 1961. Vivian was widowed in 1968.

Vivian held various jobs including the St. Paul House Restaurant, Valley Cues and Friendship Manor where she worked until she was in her 70’s. She enjoyed a long retirement spending time with her grandchildren, gardening, canning, making pies, watching Lawrence Welk on TV and doing crossword puzzles. The most important thing in her life was her faith in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

In 2007, Vivian moved to Talheim Apartments in Chaska where she was currently residing. Vivian passed away at St. Gertrude’s in Shakopee on Thursday, Sept. 8, 2011 at the age of 95 due to complications following hip surgery.

Charles Laabs of Carver, died Thursday, Sept. 8, 2011 at the Marie Steiner Kelting Hospice Home in Victoria, MN. He passed away from lung cancer, which he was diagnosed with in November of 2010.

Charles was born Oct. 1, 1925 in Carver to Lydia (Raedeke) Laabs and Charles Laabs. He was baptized Oct. 25, 1925 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Carver. He has one sister, Naomi (Engler) Keuseman who preceded him in death in 2001.

On Nov. 23, 1948 Charles married Arlene Schepers of Cologne at St. Bernards Church in Cologne. They had four children, Kathy Mieseler, wife of Ed Mieseler of Chaska and their children Jason and Kelly Hunt (Brian), Cindy Schwartz, wife of Joseph Schwartz of Cologne and their children Malinda Harms (Shawn), Mike (Kim) and Amanda (fiancée Luke Teschendorf), Tom Laabs and wife Donna (Jacques) of Jordan and their children Heidi, Trisha and Melissa, Jodi Fasching of Norwood and her special friend Mark and her children Katie and Jesse. Charles and Arlene had seven great-grandchildren.

Charles was a long time resident in the area with him working on the family farm in Carver until he was drafted to serve in the Army. Upon returning home, he started his own business as an upholsterer. Later he became a fixture in the Chaska schools as a custodian. In 1990, after 20+ years, he retired and spent many happy years traveling with Arlene.

Keyport prefers the northwest corner of Highway 41 and Chaska Boulevard for the brewery. No doubt, the location, kitty-corner from his wine shop, would make deliveries to his establishment a lot shorter.

But Chaska is pushing the former building center site for both its size and proximity to downtown.

“There are not that many downtown areas in the metro that have 12-acre sites in a downtown setting that can suppor t industria l,” noted Pod h radsky. “It ’s a pret ty unique site.”

“We’ve got the perfect site for them,” said Mayor Mark Windschitl, at Monday night’s council meeting. “We need some work at that end of town, but that could be cleaned up once they’re there,” he added.

“It would be a defi nite improvement over their current location,” said Councilor Chris Schulz.

NORDIC continued from page 1

– the highest honor bestowed by the Swedish king to a nonSwedish citizen.

There will also be Viking re-enactors, a lutefisk toss and several Scandinavian vendors.

Volunteers from the Victoriabased Nordic Heritage Club and the Waconia-based Sons of Norway Scandia Lodge are organizing the events.

“The festival provides an opportunity for the greater Twin Cities to gain exposure to many different forms of Nordic artistry, including singing dancing, musicians, actors, storytellers and craftsman. One of the goals is to help preserve Nordic culture and heritage in ou r communities,” said Richard Kellor, Sons of Norway Scandia Lodge president. “We also want to have a little fun,” he added.

“We love to share our heritage with people,” Spargo said.

“There’ll be a lot of color. Everybody will be dressed in their folk costumes.”

The event is located on the site of the Swedish pioneer settlement of Scandia, Spargo notes, and only a stone’s throw away from the grave of Andrew Peterson, whose journals were researched by Swedish author Vilhelm Moberg for his landmark “Emigrants” novels.

“I hope [people] would be able to get an appreciation for the Nordic culture, maybe learn something new,” Spargo said, of the festival.

“We will expose people who attend to authentic Nordic dances, music, legends, some of which will be communicated in Nordic languages,” Kellor said.

VIKINGS The Viking Age Club, a Sons of Norway chapter that specializes in Vikings history, is new to the festival this year.

“The period actors in our Viking Village dress in costume and tell stories, and teach culture and traditions about Scandinavia of long, long ago.

This will be a fi rst exposure to Nordic culture for many, and provide the opportunity for many in attendance to reconnect with their cultural roots,” Kellor said.

“The moment we get out of the truck, you’ll know who were are,” said Dennis Rusinko, the Viking Age Club’s event coordinator.

There will be as many as 10 volunteers, dressing in period costumes and setting up Viking tents. “We represent the history of the Vikings age, preserving arts and craft skills of the period,” said Rusinko.

The group helps change the misperceptions of Vikings as only “pirates and raiders.”

Only a small percentage were warriors, Rusinko said. The majority were hunters, farmers and businessmen.

That doesn’t stop the Vikings Age Club from throwing in some live combat demonstrations. There might be some

Surly moving to Chaska could be a big win-win situation for both parties, argue officials. “We think we could help them develop relatively inexpensively,” said Podhradsky.

“But it’s also a complement to the stuff that’s downtown,” he added, noting how New Ulm capitalizes on its Schell’s brewery and St. Paul on its Summit brewery.

The Surly brewery would fit with the city’s downtown master plan, which sets goals of creating jobs, as well as a destination to draw people downtown. Last weekend alone, Surly pulled in more than 1,800 visitors to its Brooklyn Center headquarters for the fourth annual SurlyFest.

Whether Chaska has a legitimate chance to land the six-year-old brewery remains to be seen, but Podhradsky is encouraged by the fact that Surly has hired a real estate consultant to solicit request for proposals (RFPs).

“It appears that they do

want to go out and look at other cities,” Podhradsky told the council.

“We hope to be included in the RFP,” said Podhradsky.

“A ny oppor tunity to bring t hem i nto t he com mu nity, we’ll take it and we’ll take it seriously.”

For every 10 businesses the city contacts, they get about one response, Podhradsky said, and you “Move with those.”

“We’re a lways t r ying to keep our eyes open for things we think would be a good fit for down here, and stay aggressive.”

If the city landed a brewery, it wouldn’t be the first time. Chaska’s pioneer German immigrants demanded beer, and beer they got. Chaska had a brewery as early as 1862, and was home to a number of breweries over the next century.

Chaska’s Union Brewery had an annual production of 800 barrels by 1878, according to beer scholar Doug Hoverson.

Fred Beyrer was the last brewer standing, operating the Beyrer Brewery until 1955.

swordplay, depending on how much space is available, Rusinko said.

There will also be wood carving, chainmail making and weaving demonstrations.

“Each person has a different arts or crafts skill,” Rusinko said.

The Viking Age Club will be standing out with its colorful tunics and weaponry, Rusinko said. “Most of the time we get crossed over with French voyageurs. After a while they realize were’ not French voyageurs.

We’re Vikings, and we look the part too.”

LUTEFISK TOSS Expect another epic battle between Norwegians and Swedes, as they square of f in the event’s second annual Lutefisk Toss. Lutefisk is Minnesota’s most beloved, and most mocked, Scandinavian food.

Last year the Norwegians won (4-1), so the Swedes will be looking for payback.

“They really cut loose,” the Swedish Spargo noted, of her competition.

Car ver County Commissioner Randy Maluchnik will judge the toss, which is using 5 pounds of fish donated by the Olsen Fish Co. “They are processors of lutefisk and herring, and are recognized as the largest lutefisk producer in the world,” Keller said.

“The Norwegian team is favored to win the Lutefisk Toss again, but the team has established a winning tradition because of last year’s victory.

The Norwegian team greatly benefited from the vocal and moral support of the lovely and boisterous cheerleaders that really helped to motivate the team to make those winning tosses,” joked Keller. “However, the Norwegian team is not taking the Swedish team lightly, as there are rumors that they are holding two-a-day practice sessions, and may be bringing in some ringers from Sweden.”

A dozen craft vendors will display thei r wa res at the event. Spargo is still lining up food vendors, although she said the “meatball lady,” who makes meatball sundaes, will return.

Most of the events will take place under a 30-foot by 40-foot tent and the nearby picnic shelter.

The organizers put the event together with about $5,000 in grants. “The Nordic Music Festival is free to the public, largely due to grants received from the Metropolitan Re gional Arts Council and the Sons of Norway Foundation. A

“Holy smokes. I was shocked,” Neve said when he heard about the criminal charges on Tuesday.

Bruce Schwichtenberg, of Carver, said he was frustrated after learning details.

“I feel sorry for this person

who is part of it,” he said. “It’s sad.”

Schwichtenberg said he didn’t vote for Zunker when he ran for the position of party chair and said Zunker had a limited history with the party when he was chosen as chair.

“It’s a situation where we have to move on because we have elections coming up in a year,” Schwichtenberg said. “It’s obviously a little more than a hiccup.

But I’m hoping people don’t stay

away and not be involved.”

Zunker was elected as party chairman in February. The term for the position is two years. The person selected to replace him is expected to fi nish the term.

If found guilty of seconddegree criminal sexual conduct — multiple acts, sentencing guidelines call for a 90-month jail sentence, according to the Carver County Attorney’s Office.

T he Rev. Gr e g S now, a pastor at St. John’s Lutheran Church, recalled a call from a friend and colleague who was in New York on Sept.

11, 2001. “Greg, we’re under attack, you have to pray,” Snow recounted to St. John’s Lutheran School students last Thursday.

The students participated in an hour-long all-school assembly to honor public safety employees and observe 9/11.

Many of the students in the crowd weren’t born when the attacks took place. “We couldn’t believe that could happen to us, to America,” Snow said.

The school invited fi refighters, police officers, paramedics and veterans to the event.

“These guys are heroes. You are in the presence of God’s hand of protection,” Snow told the students.

Following a service in the chapel, the crowd went outside the downtown Chaska school, where a Chaska VFW Post 1791 Color Guard marched and played taps, and public safety officials replaced the old St. John’s U.S. flag with a new flag.

The students sang “God Bless America” and said the Pledge of Allegiance.

Rocky Horror invades Minneapolis

Rocky Horror Live!

When: Sept. 15 – Oct. 31 Where: The Lab Theater, 700 North 1st St., Minneapolis

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

The cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show returns to the Twin Cities just in time for prime costume season. Rocky Horror Live! kicks off a sixweek run at The Lab Theater in the Warehouse District on Sept. 15.

“It’s sci-fi, horror, b-movies and rock-n-roll all wrapped into one show,” said Reid Harmsen.

Harmsen, who grew up in Chaska and was most recently seen in the Ordway’s touring production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” is both an associate producer and a member of the cast. The 28-year-old plays the newly engaged Brad Majors who along with his fiancée Janet Weiss (played by Erin Capello) is drawn to a nearby house when they get a flat tire en route to see their old college professor. Inside the house, the naïve duo is sent on a wild ride when they fi nd themselves in the middle of one of Dr. FrankN-Furter’s crazy experiments.

“They leave different than they came,” said Harmsen.

“Their eyes are opened.”

The cast includes American Idol alum Paris Bennett as Columbia and her mother (the Grammy Award-winning member of Sounds of Blackness) Jamecia Bennett as Eddie and Dr. Scott.

“She plays two guys,” gushed Harmsen. “She’s amazing.”

Twin Cities TV news legend Don Shelby plays The Narrator.

“I was nervous at first,” admitted Harmsen, of sharing the stage with Shelby. “But he’s charming and funny. He’s like one of the kids with us.”

The production, directed by Andrew Rasmussen, is more “raw” and less campy than the movie version many are familiar with, said Harmsen. It still includes all of the interactive

Tickets: $46.50, $55 VIP Ages: 12 and up, parental guidance suggested Info: www.rockyhorror minneapolis.com elements that Rocky Horror diehards have come to expect from the show (“Part of the fun is watching people who do know it so well,” said Harmsen), but it also features lights, fog and a lift that was featured in Dolly Parton’s latest tour.

“It’s a fun evening,” said Harmsen. “Kind of like a rock concert.”

Throughout the six-week run, the show will offer before and after events for attendees to take advantage of like nightly costume contests and dance parties on the weekends.

“It’s more than just going to see a show,” said Harmsen. “It’s an experience.”

Harmsen, who worked both behind and on stage at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres for years, said he doesn’t think you’ll see a Rocky Horror production on those stages anytime soon, but noted that he is thankful that there are a plethora of theaters in the Twin Cities that allow for a wide variety of productions.

“There are so many smaller theaters to work on your craft,” he said. “It’s a great community.”

And Harmsen is happy to be a part of it. “I feel so lucky,” he said. “I just want to be an actor and it’s been a year of just acting.”

“I’m happiest when I’m doing theater,” he added. “There’s something about live theater that gives me such a rush. I’ll take theater over anything.”

He’s particularly proud to be a part of this Rocky Horror production. “It’s one of those shows that if I wasn’t in it, I’d want to be in it.”

Re-do a room for $100 or less

O

nly on TV would a redecorating budget of a couple thousand dollars be considered “shoestring.” In the real world, most of us have a lot less than that to spend on redoing a room.

Fortunately, it’s possible to completely change the look of any room in the house for as little as $100. All you need to do is focus on the design elements that will deliver the most impact for the least cost.

Here’s a room-by-room guide for redos that cost $100—or even less.

Every room A fresh coat of paint is an essential foundation for virtually any room makeover. One gallon will cover most rooms, meaning you can get a good start on your redesign for around $25—even less if you luck out and find a deal.

Decluttering is also another way to give a room a fresh look. Whether it’s your living room, kitchen or a child’s room, removing excess items like papers and toys can make

the room feel open and orderly.

Dining room Your table and chairs are the centerpieces of your dining room. While a new set might not be in the budget, you can easily dress up your old one. Replacing old fabric on dining chair seat cushions can give the set a whole new look. Depending on the fabric color and style you choose, you can create looks that range from modern to traditional. Top off the table with a decorative runner in a complimentary pattern and you’ve redone your dining room for less than $100.

Living room Accessories are the way to achieve a big impact for not much money in the living room. Replace old throw pillows with new, brightly patterned ones. Switch out wall decor with new pieces. Cover up worn wooden floors or shabby carpeting with an elegant area rug. It’s possible to change several accessories and still bring your costs in under the $100 mark.

Kids’ rooms If your youngster is ready for a new look in his room, rip down that teddy bear border, let him pick a paint color and consider dressing up one wall of the room with a mural. You can find plenty of kids’ murals for less than $100 online at websites like DecorPlace.com. Whether he likes a solar system theme or she wants a princess canopy, a wall mural can make redoing a children’s room fast and easy.

Bathroom Get rid of that old, moldy shower curtain.

To create a designer look for not much dough, hang a simple, functional vinyl curtain on existing shower rod, then place a pressure rod just outside it. Add attractive, floor-length curtains from the local discount store; they’ll cost a lot less than comparable versions made for bathroom use.

Toss out worn, ratty old towels with a matching set of new ones in an appealing pattern or color. Finish up by adding

a decorative frame around the existing vanity mirror.

Kitchen Spending a bundle on a kitchen rehab is easy to do, but it’s just as easy to make small changes that have a big impact.

Rather than sinking a lot of money into changing countertops or cabinets, consider simple upgrades like new cabinet

hardware, a new kitchen faucet and a new light fixture. You can also use a wall mural in the kitchen to dress it up. Whether you’re looking for a rustic theme that would fit with Italian murals or a nature landscape that turns a blank wall into a view on another world, you can fi nd a wall mural to fit virtually every decorating theme for as little as $60.

You don’t need the budget of a TV home improvement show to make high-impact, appealing changes to your home. You just need $100 and some ingenuity.

victoria TOWN SQUARE TRUTH IN TAXATION MEETING IS DEC. 12

City Council sets 2012 preliminary levy

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

The Victoria City Council voted to approve the city’s 2012 preliminary property tax levy, the result of numerous workshops and budget and revenue reviews and analysis.

The council voted unanimously to approve a preliminary city levy of $4,100,492, which is a slight decrease of .15 percent or $6,058 from the 2011 tax levy, and an estimated city tax rate of 38.9 percent. It means that the city tax on a median assessed value home of $317,900, for example, will go from $1,279 in 2011, to $1,237 in 2012, a reduction of $42.

The decrease will not reduce basic city service levels.

City Ad minist rator Don Uram and Finance Director Jylan Johnson pointed out during the presentation that the city budget is structurally balanced, and that reserves will not be used to balance operating budgets.

The city will maintain an

optimal fund balance of 30 percent of which the balance will be transferred to the Street Maintenance fund. The city will continue funding for Public Works and Fire Department capital equipment.

The fi nal levy will be set in December after the Truth in Taxation meeting, set for 6:30 p.m., Monday, Dec. 12 at City Hall.

COMMUNITY BRANDING/ SIGNAGE On Monday night, the council had an energetic discussion on city branding — the city’s current city logo/seal and the VBOA’s distinctive downtown banners. There also was continued discussion on whether a religious image can be used in a city logo.

The original discussion took place a couple months ago, when the city discussed replacing signs in some of the city parks that are disintegrating and need to be replaced. It led to a discussion of the city’s brand as the City of Parks and Lakes,

the branding of downtown Victoria, and then the city’s logo, which depicts St. Victoria’s Catholic Church, for which the city was named and grew up around.

The topic was further expanded when representatives from the Victoria Business Owners Committee (VBOA) asked the city for better, more visible signage to direct Highway 5 commuters to the downtown business district, and in anticipation of next summer‘s Highway 5 reconstruction project. The project will begin at the end of May, and be complete around Labor Day. Highway 5 commuters will have to be educated about detours, and alternative routes into downtown Victoria.

Businesses are ner vous, worried that the road construction will hurt their businesses over the summer.

Earlier this summer, after much discussion, with councilors Tom O’Connor and Kim Roden citing traffic, visibility and safety concerns, the coun-

cil voted against additional signage at the intersection of Highway 5 and Bavaria Road.

Instead council asked staff to come back with costs to retrofit the current Welcome to Victoria monument sign, near the former Digger’s Polaris building on Highway 5.

Staff was also asked to provide usage guidelines for the city logo and the city marketing logo — the stylized V, developed in 2009 by the Business Development Committee. The staff was also asked to consult with a graphics designer.

On Monday night, the council packet contained the guidelines.

The city’s church logo will be used on city letterhead, city Website, city vehicle decals, and city employee work-issued clothing.

The city’s downtown brand will be used for banners in the central business district, signage marketing Victoria, including park signs, marketing materials promoting Victoria, and promotional clothing and

apparel.

City staff met with Jody Majeres who discouraged combining the historic city logo with the V logo. She recommended a new logo that would better incorporate elements of each, The packet included a letter from Randy Miller, VBOA president, asking the council to reconsider its decision against a sign at Highway 5 and Bavaria/ Rolling Acres. Staff included suggestions for alternative sites for such a sign.

LOGO CONCERNS Mayor Mary Hershberger Thun again raised concerns about the city’s existing logo.

“I think we need to choose,” she said. “I don’t believe the current [city logo] logo will stand under court scrutiny in the future.”

Roden wasn’t pleased and addressed City Attorney Mike Norton.

“I asked that question the first time,” Roden said. “I asked, ‘Is our logo illegal? Can we expect a problem to come up? Did

we have any complaints about the logo?’ The answer was no.

Has that changed?”

Norton said he didn’t know where the city’s logo falls in the Establishment Clause ruling, though he knows that in some cases historical precedence allows religious symbols on government materials.

“The issue has come up,” Norton explained, but he didn’t do further research as there hasn’t been a concerted council action to pursue it.”

“I want to make clear,” Mayor Mary Hershberger Thun said. “It’s not that I love or dislike the current logo. But I cannot vote where I personally am concerned. I have a concern.”

Discussion finally ended when Roden said she was done talking about signage in the city, in particular any signage along Highway 5 for as long as the current council is in office.

“What we’re really talking about are business subsidies,” Roden said. “Let’s not talk about signs.”

EMBEDDED IN THE SUBURBS

Hurrah for Victoria Fashion Year

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

Last spring I sent style shockwaves throughout our Carver County fashion universe. I wore my Ming Wang sleeveless tank dress every work day in April. I could have worn it on weekends, too, it was that comfortable. Yes, it was. But I didn’t feel like it.

Readers were aghast. The same thing, day after day, after day. Of all the stories I’ve ever written it is the only one where people stopped their cars in the middle of the street to holler, “Loved the story about your dress ! ” or waved me down at Target, or elbowed me at Chipotle.

I’ve written about jail breaks, school referendums, tax levies, and other important newsy things. But it was my obsession with a little black dress that gained me Facebook fans and acclaim across the land and in the grocery store. The only thing that has come close is a story I wrote about being a volunteer for the Sheriff’s Office alcohol impaired test training.

Will I ever live that one down?

This fall, I am thinking of launching a similar style bombshell — wearing my Victoria Detour T-shirt from now until the Highway 5 reconstruction project ends in September 2012.

That’s right. Every day. Until that darn road project is done.

Why? It’s the only way I know how to make people remember that there is a detour project coming on Highway 5, stretching from Highway 41 in Chanhassen, all the way through Victoria, over the bridge to the Victoria Dairy Queen.

You know what will happen.

It will be the Tuesday after Memorial Day weekend 2012. And suddenly everyone is surprised because part of Highway 5 is shut down due to construction.

“Why didn’t I hear about this?”

“Why doesn’t anyone write about this stuff?”

“Why didn’t the city [the county, or the government, my neighbor] tell us?.

In a depressed housing market, the city of Victoria has a reason to break out the ribbon and scissors. This summer, the city got good news. A housing needs study indicates the city has a potential demand for 225 new housing units between 2012 and 2015. Pictured is a new townhome unit in Madelyn Creek. From left are Pete Kerber of Kerber Homes, Carl Hennen, Voyager Bank, Holly Kreft, city of Victoria, Brad Kerber of Kerber Homes, Victoria Mayor Mary Hershberger Thun, City Administrator Don Uram, Wyn Ray and Steve Schmieg of Coldwell Banker, and Irene Kerber of Kerber Homes.

Fashionista alert—Look no further. This is seasonless T-shirt that will take you from fall 2011 to fall 2012. Not only is it good looking, front and back, but it’s useful — see the detour map? And, best of all, wearing it as often as possible could win you a $1,000.

“Huh…?”

And so on.

You know it’s true.

In fact, there’s an open house tonight (Thursday) at Victoria City Hall from 4-6 p.m. Residents and anyone else who has to drive in, through and around Victoria will want to attend to meet with MnDOT project managers, experts, and the city of Victoria staff to learn how to make 2012 road reconstruction through our very own town manageable, and keep downtown businesses and services alive for those three months.

But how many people will actually show up?

I don’t think the city will run out of the complimentary M&M cookies and lemonade.

But back to the T-shirt.

I’ve also got my eye on the prize.

The Victoria Business Owners Association (VBOA) is selling this Victoria Detour T-shirt for $10 to raise awareness of the project and the detour through

downtown.

Each week, highly trained Tshirt spotters will pick someone wearing the Victoria Detour T-Shirt, and they’ll receive a $10 gift card instantly.. And, you are entered into a drawing for $1,000. There’s only 60 gift cards to be handed out so your chances of winning are 1 in 60.

If I wear my T-shirt everyday, well, that’s 60 gift cards for me.

I’ve proved that I can go the distance.

Want to challenge me?

Buy your Victoria Detour T-Shirt from local businesses.

For more information and a list of gift card winners, visit the VBOA website at www.Victoriaboa.org/victoria-detour.

For information about the construction project, visit the city’s website dedicated to the project at www.VictoriaDetour. org.

And remember, there’s that MnDOT Highway 5/detour open house today at City Hall, with M&M cookies.

Highway 5 open house is tonight Area residents, business owners and motorists are invited to an open house presenting details about a 2012 construction project for Highway 5 in Victoria. The open house will be from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., [tonight] Thursday, Sept. 15, at Victoria City Hall, 7951 Rose Street.

The project is scheduled to begin April 2012 and be completed by October 2012. Sections of Highway 5 will be closed for much of the project, including a closure between the east and west junctions of Stieger Lake Lane. Access to local residences and businesses will be main-

Attendees will be able to view a detailed version of the revised project layout, learn about detours and access to residences and businesses, have their questions answered from project leaders, and provide feedback and comments on the project. Informational handouts will also be available.

According to the city and the Minnesota Department of Transportation, this is the best opportunity for local residents, business owners and property owners to provide feedback for the project in an open house setting.

Trying to keep up with new housing demand is good news for Victoria

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

Victoria got some good news this summer. Earlier this year, the city hired Maxfield Research Inc. to conduct a housing needs analysis for the city.

“The projected demand for housing in Victoria far exceeds supply,” City Administrator Don Uram said. “The numbers are encouraging along with a housing study we did last fall.”

The council reviewed the fi ndings recently.

“You could say that our building boom ties into the recent action by the council to approve annexation of a portion of Laketown Township,” Uram said. “The annexation involves some 400 acres, and we’re about 40 days from being fi nalized,” Uram said last week. “It was driven in part by the residents [there]. It’s an opportunity for land owners to get city services, but also makes the property more attractive to buyers if the property is designated as within the city of Victoria, versus being a township in the county because the development standards are different.”

In addition to the growing demand for single family homes, the study indicates that by 2015, there will be a demand for modest-sized independent

senior rental housing.

Last Friday, the owners of Kerber Homes, a Victoriabased company, invited the Mayor to tour its just completed three-unit rambler. Kerber Homes is building three more 4-plexes in Madelyn Creek. A 2,400 square foot unit will sell for around $299,000.

Mayor Mary Hershberger Thun likes the development because it fi lls a need for midmarket housing.

“It ’s not a huge si ng le family home like those in Deer Run,” Hershberger Thun said. “From a couple’s standpoint, or a small family not interested in a great big yard or property maintenance and upkeep, it’s a very good fit.”

Hershberger Thun said in addition to the study, city staff has met with commercial and residential builders. We are not just waiting for people to come to us,” Hershberger Thun said. “We’ve talked to realtors, we’re selling land. In Victoria, we’re running out of housing lots. We have 100 very usable lots, many of them in Madelyn Creek, Lakebridge, and Laketown.

“But we’re running out of lots,” Hershberger Thun said, “which is why the annexation around Lake Wasserman will be good for us. “ The city is ahead of its projections for new housing

building permits this year.

“We projected for 40 housing permits and we’re at 52,” Hershberger Thun said. “Last year we projected 40 and we ended at 56. I know we’re doing quite well compared to surrounding cities. We know Victoria is a very desirable place to live.”

Her shb erger T hu n wa s especially enthusiastic about the price point, and design details.

“I think Victoria is fortunate to have local developers that are heavily investing in Victoria like the Hartmans a nd t he Kerb ers,” Hershberger T hu n said, “We’re lucky to have local developers who are willing to take risks, especially with the economy the way that it is.”

‘Discover Victoria’ at Rec Center Sept. 24 Residents and others interested in Victora are invited to “Discover Victoria Day” from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24 at the Victoria Recreation center. The family event is geared for Victoria residents so they can learn about the resources available in Victoria, from local businesses and services, to

recreational areas and activities, community groups and resources.

Local businesses and organizations will have booths in the recreation center to provide information and answer questions.

Residents will also have an opportunity to learn more about the Highway 5 road

reconstruction project that is slated for spring 2012 through Labor Day 2012. Residents can learn how to access downtown Victoria by way of Stieger Lake Lane.

Many activities wi l l be planned during the day, including the popular Gamin’ Ride, a video gaming arcade on wheels.

“First day of school” photos … now & then I

t’s definitely that time of year again, isn’t it?

Children and even adults have returned to school, which is a sign of fall as much as our azure-blue sky and leaves changing from green to orange or red.

All the hubbub of getting ready for another school year can make us forget the importance of documenting another milestone in our youngsters’ development.

Fortunately for us, some of our southwestarea readers did not forget. They have submitted favorite back-to-school photos, both current and from family scrapbooks.

We thank them, and to you we say, “Enjoy!”

Isabella (fifth grade) and Derek (second grade) Wendland, of Chaska, put on their best sad faces as they return to school in 2009. The “fat lip,” or pouty face, is a running joke in the Wendland family and father Kevin explained that they’ve taken the same photo in front of the flag for three years running.

“Proud mom” Renelle Ulrich sent in this photo of her daughter, Gretchen Ulrich, on her first day of kindergarten in 1992.

She must have liked school – her mom reports that Gretchen began teaching kindergarten at Chanhassen Elementary School last year, and is teaching first grade at the school this year.

ON WHEELS, THEN AND NOW – Andrew and Grace Bugbee of Eden Prairie (Buzz Danielson’s grandchildren) are pictured in 2003 and 2011. Above – In 2003, Andrew was in third grade and had a broken leg. Sister Grace was his helper. Right – In 2011, both are students at Eden Prairie High School. Andrew is a junior and Grace is a freshman. This time Andrew was Grace’s helper. In 2003, Grace pushed Andrew around Cedar Ridge Elementary in a wheelchair. On Sept. 6, Andrew drove Grace to school. Photos courtesy of Kari Cartier.

This photo is of Brett Vogel (right), 8, entering third grade at Sweeney Elementary School in Shakopee and his sister Nicole Vogel, 5, going to kindergarten for the first time. Brett is now 16 and a junior at Shakopee High School and playing on the varsity football team. Nicole is 13 and in grade eight and running varsity for the cross country team. Both will play on the varsity hockey teams this coming season. They are the children of Mike and Sandy Vogel.

Sue Oestreich, of Chaska, sent in this photo of her son Ryan (born in 1984) coming off the school bus after his first day of school in 1990. “That kid really wanted to go to school,” recounted his mother. When Ryan started kindergarten he was so excited about attending school (like his older siblings), that he slept with his school bag, Sue recounted. Ryan now lives in Colorado.

Joan (Lill) Heise sent us a photo from Sept. 3, 1975 on the first day of school. Joan, pictured on the right, is with her sister Nancy Lill. Nancy was a first-grader and Joan a third-grader at SACS. Their parents are Diane Lill and the late Charles Lill.

Sue Oestreich, of Chaska, sent in these photos of her children, Michelle (born 1972), Mark (1974) and Stephanie (1975) on their first day of school in September 1982. The Oestreichs all attended Chaska Elementary School and graduated from Chaska High School. They all still live in the area.

This is Colton Seekins (left) in 2009 on the first day of second grade at Red Oak Elementary in Shakopee. He is now in fourth grade at the school. Also pictured is Noah Seekins on his first day of kindergarten 2004. Noah is now in seventh grade at Eagle Ridge Academy in Eden Prairie. Noah plays violin and fiddle music and will be singing in the Minnesota Boy Choir this year. They are the sons of David and Lisa Seekins of Shakopee.

Take a relaxing dive into millions of corn kernels with the ever-popular Sever’s Corn Pool.

A corny adventure Sever’s Corn Maze and Fall Festival celebrates 15th year

D

ive into some seasonal fun and lose yourself in an out-of-this-world maze at Sever’s Corn Maze and Fall Festival in Shakopee, opening Saturday, Sept. 17.

For 15 years, the Sever and Sharon Peterson family of Eden Prairie has been bringing families together to explore fall fun.

Home of the fi rst corn maze in the Midwest, Sever’s is blasting off with an outer-space theme that includes shooting stars, planets and even a space shuttle.

Sever’s has a lot more to offer, including the always popular corn pool where kids and adults can jump into a sea of corn kernels. New this year is a jumping pillow area where guests can bounce the day away and a canary tent.

Looking for something a little more extreme? Grab a pumpkin and challenge your friends on the pumpkin slinger. Or try a corn cannon, which will send your kernels flying the length of a football field.

Kids will love the barnyard where they can get up-close to live turkeys, chickens, roosters, sheep and goats. Or if they’re looking for something more exotic, meet the animals from Vogel’s Exotic Animals in the petting zoo.

The weekend also features live music and entertainment from the Blue Ox Jazz Babies. Don’t miss Magician Matt Dunn.

And it wouldn’t be a fall festival without a chance to pick your own pumpkin in the festival’s pumpkin patch. Admission to the festival is not required.

Sever’s Corn Maze and Fall Festival runs Saturdays and Sundays through Oct. 30 at 1100 Canterbury Road, Shakopee. Also open the Thursday and Friday of MEA, Oct. 20-21.

PHOTO COURTESY MYSTIC LAKE

Country superstar Alan Jackson will perform at the Mystic Amphitheater Sept. 17.

‘EVERYBODY LOVES OPAL’ Set in 1961, “Everybody Loves Opal” is an upbeat comedy about the kind-hearted, loveable optimist, Opal Kronkie, who lives in a tumble-down mansion at the edge of the municipal dump. The general disarray of her establishment is aggravated by the fact that Opal collects things, anything that can be toted home in her little red wagon. Into her rather strange world come the con artists Gloria, Bradford and Solomon. The crooks decide that what Opal needs is plenty of insurance, a rapid demise and three beneficiaries (themselves). The unsavory trio concoct several elaborate schemes to “do in” Opal, only to be thwarted by her oddball antics. Through it all, Opal radiates kindness, affection and an abiding faith in the goodness of human nature.

Library ponders sanctions

Kathy

PERSCHMANN CHASKA LIBRARY

from National Defense University, Washington, D.C. Born in North Dakota, he grew up in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

I asked Mr. Davnie some questions: Q: The two countries most often associated with sanctions are North Korea and Iran. Other countries are Burma (Myanmar), Sudan, Belarus, Lebanon, Syria, Somalia, Zimbabwe, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Coted’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, and Cuba.

Why economic sanctions?

A: Sanctions are one tool of foreign policy. They attempt to influence, limit or control a nation’s actions without resorting to military force. Sanctions sometimes also express a moral attitude towards another country – concerning human rights violations, for example – even when we know the sanctions will have limited effect. Myanmar (Burma) would be a good example of this – we condemn its domestic politics, but we don’t have a lot of inf luence there because its neighbors won’t cooperate with us to make the sanctions effective.

Q: How do trade and economic sanctions differ?

A: Sanctions take a variety of forms. Trade sanctions are among the most common, especially concerning military sales. Increasingly we are using restrictions on financial transactions to even further limit a country’s ability to do business with the rest of the world. Electronic banking these days makes it hard to hide a transaction, which means we can be more restrictive i n ou r sanctions. But this i s a l so ver y controversial, as some other countries view it as forcing our legal system on the rest SUBMITTED PHOTO of the world.

Q : W hat William Davnie will speak on “Sanctions are some of and Nonproliferation,” at the Chanhassen t h e l i m it a Library, 1 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 17.

tions of sanctions?

A: Sanctions need broad cooperation to be effective, and that’s hard to get. Sanctions against North Korea depend on China agreeing to them – which it generally doesn’t. And, sanctions don’t always hit the people you really want to hit, which is the leadership of a country. Broad trade sanctions can hurt the average person, while the senior politicians can always fi nd ways to get what they want. So there’s a constant search for “smart sanctions” which target individuals or small groups rather than entire populations.

Sanctions have been created to curb nations in violation of international law, especially agreements concerning nuclear nonproliferation. How successfully have sanctions been applied against past violators?

Is there any chance sanctions can curtail North Korea and Iran from continuing to develop nuclear weapons?

T he sp ea ker is Wi l lia m Davnie, who served as a Foreign Service Officer in the U.S. Department of State from 1981-2007. His postings included Hong Kong, Thailand, USSR/ Russia, Tajikistan, Lithuania and Finland, as well as four months in Baghdad in 2007.

Prior to the Foreign Service, Davnie researched Islam and taught for one year in Indonesia, and served as a Presbyterian pastor for five years in rural North Dakota.

He has worked with a variety of U.S. government assistance projects during his career, including counter-narcotics programs in Asia and democracy development projects in the former Soviet Union.

He also coordinated with non-government programs, including the International Red Cross, United Nations, and religious-based organizations during his assignments abroad. He was stationed in Moscow during the collapse of the Soviet Union and emergence of Russia; in Tajikistan during a UN-brokered peace process; in Lithuania during that country’s entry into NATO and the European Union; and in Finland during its EU Presidency.

He received a Master of Divinity degree from Vanderbilt University and an M.S.

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

bill on an average-valued home will decrease slightly in 2012.

However, Com missioner Tom Work ma n, who voted against the preliminary levy, believes higher-valued homes will see increases.

“My constituents hear it all,” Workman said after the preliminary levy was set. “It’s a bunch of really nice salve. All the lingo tells them we’re cutting, but they still see a tax increase.”

Workman said he’s hoping to get more details on how higher-valued properties will be affected prior to the setting of the fi nal levy.

“There’s still time for people to get involved,” he said.

Carver County commissioners have set a 2012 preliminary levy designed to keep the county portion of property taxes in check.

Commissioners voted 4-1 to approve a preliminary levy of $45,179,720. When the county sets a fi nal levy in December, it can be lower, but it cannot be increased for 2012.

County Administrator David Hemze said since May commissioners have directed him to keep taxes down on average valued homes.

A complicating factor this year is recent state legislation that eliminates about $1 million more in state aid from the Market Value Homestead Credit program. That, according to county officials, has made it difficult to determine exactly how taxpayers will be affected.

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

Hemze said the county’s portion of the total property tax

VOLLEYBALL

A turf star is born

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

S

ure, the conference season is only one game old. But after years of sub-.500 records, no one could fau lt the Chaska program for feeling good about seeing their name at the top of the Missota standings.

The Hawks got four touchdown passes from quarterback Nick Jensen in a 35-26 win over No. 7-ranked Northfield Friday at Hawk Stadium.

It is the first conference opening win for Chaska since a 33-14 victory over Bloomington Kennedy in week one of the 2006 season. The 35 points in the second-most scored points by the Hawks in the past seven years.

“It feels good. You can’t beat this feeling,” said Jensen, one of four senior captains this season.

Week one of the 2011 season gave Hawk fans a glimpse of the talents of sophomore Kolby Seiffert. In week two the receiver showcased a bit more.

Seiffert caught nine passes for 162 yards for three touchdowns, including a 53-yard reception early in the second half that gave Chaska a 35-14 lead.

A fter watching his cousin, Brandon, star for the Hawks last year, Seiffert is ready to leave his mark this season.

“I came to all of the games and it was fun to see and learn some moves from him and watch him as a player develop,” Seiffert said of his cousin Brandon. “It’s a dream come true. I’ve wanted to play on the varsity team since I was a little boy. I’m just happy to get an opportunity to be out here.”

Add in Seiffert’s rushing and return yards and the sophomore fi nished the game with 303 all-purpose yards.

“He’s got it,” Jensen said of Seiffert’s talents.

But it wasn’t just Seiffert; it was a host of other players as well. Jensen, who played in six games as a junior, completed 12 of the fi rst 16 passes he attempted.

The senior captain fi nished with 272 yards on 15 completions with one interception.

“Nick threw some amazing passes. He’s a really good player,” Seiffert said.

“We had to come out strong and when we did we had to hold them off once we got all of the points on the board. We had to do a great job for the defense.

We just wanted this game,” Jensen said.

And when the ball wasn’t going through the air, Carter Severinson was likely carrying it on the ground. The senior two-way star had a season-best effort of 17 rushes for 102 yards and a score.

Chaska jumped out to a 21-7 lead on a six-yard run from Severinson, a 73-yard catchand-run from Garrett Paulzine and a 27-yard reception from Seiffert. All three scores came in the fi rst quarter.

Kolby Seiffert got a high five from teammate Carter Severinson after scoring his third touchdown of the game – fourth for the season – in a victory over Northfield Friday.

Stars of the Game For the second straight week, sophomore Kolby Seiffert earns the first star, sharing it with quarterback Nick Jensen. The duo hooked up for three touchdowns in the week-two win. The second star goes to Carter Severinson, who seemed to be everywhere on offense and defense. His forced fumble early in the third quarter was the hit of the year thus far. Justin Goeman and Josh Blackowiak share the third star for big defensive plays in the second half.

interception return for touchdown with 1:15 remaining in the fi rst half.

But the Hawks weren’t done.

Severinson carried the ball deep into Raider territory on a 60 -yard run, setting up a four-yard strike from Jensen to Seiffert with 19 seconds re-

maining on the clock.

The fi rst half success rate in the red zone was a stark contrast to week one in which Chaska was 0-for-2 in scoring from inside the 20-yard line.

“We worked on it all week in practice. You just have to put the ball in the end zone when

you’re in the red zone. No doubt about it,” Jensen said.

“Last game we just didn’t fi nish when we needed to at the goal line. This week we practiced hard and switched some things up. When we needed a score, we got it this week,” Seiffert said.

Sei f fer t added a 5 3 -yard catch to begin the third quarter following a Severinson fumble recovery for the 35-14 lead.

Northfield made the game interesting as Aaron Stets connected on a 40-yard field goal in the third quarter. The soccer-style kicker missed just yards short on a 55-yard attempt right before half and a 50-yarder wide right.

Fullback Devon Walker also had a 15-yard run in the third quarter to pull Northfield within 11 points at 35-24.

Chaska’s defense tightened, making opportunistic plays at the right time. Hawk linebacker Josh Blackowiak stripped and recovered a punt with five minutes to play and safety Sean Brewers intercepted his second pass of the game to seal the victory with 2:29 to play.

Chaska took a safety with nine seconds remaining instead of punting the ball from the end zone for the fi nal score.

“It’s always good to get the ‘W’ – that’s all that really matters,” Seiffert said.

The Hawks, who share the early conference lead with Holy Angels, Shakopee and Red Wing, travel to the defending conference champion Sabers home turf Friday.

FIRE ROUNDUP

Second annual Carver Cup set for Saturday The second annual Carver Cup Soccer Challenge is scheduled for this Saturday as Holy Family Catholic takes on Providence Academy in an all-day event at the high school in Victoria.

FIRE RALLY FOR WIN OVER JOHNNIES Holy Family Catholic controlled the play right up until the point St. John’s Prep tied it with 21:10 left on the clock.

The Fire, though, didn’t panic, regrouped and netted two goals within 55 seconds of each other in a 3-1 win Tuesday in Victoria.

With the score tied at one, David Kemmerer redirected a pass from Patrick Smith with his head into the net for the eventual game-winning goal.

The score came more than two minutes after St. John’s Prep had scored the equalizer.

Jack Parker added to the Fire lead 53 seconds later on a long ball from outside the box that was over the head of Johnnies’ netminder Caz Novak.

Holy Family took a 1-0 lead into halftime on sophomore

Kyle Schumer’s goal. St. John’s Prep evened the score on senior midfielder Evan Jenkins’ fi rst career goal. It was the fi rst loss of the season for the Johnnies.

Holy Family (5-2-1) was coming off a 2-2 tie to St. Thomas Academy Sept. 1. The Fire also added a 3-0 win over Concordia Academy of Roseville Saturday.

FIRE FINISH 28TH AT MARSHALL Holy Family Catholic volleyball finished 28th at the 32-team Molten Southwest Minnesota Challenge this past weekend in Marshall. The Fire dropped 2-0 decisions to Lakeville North and Chaska on Day One. After dispatching Russell-Tyler-Ruthton 2-1 to begin Day Two, HFC fell to Tartan 2-1 and BOLD 2-0 to finish the tournament.

New lineup brings a new attitude

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Erin Schindler called her fi rst day of high school pretty “uneventful.” You know, the basic get-to-know each other orientation a freshman goes through.

Schindler, who just turned 14, had a more eventful finish to her day. The outside hitter helped Chaska earn its fi rst win of the 2011 season, downing Burnsville 3-0 on the road Sept. 6. The Blaze had received votes in the Class AAA poll.

Having lost three matches to start the season – the last two by 3-1 decisions to No. 5-ranked Lakeville South and Apple Valley – Chaska players felt the time was right to pick up their fi rst win.

“Even from the moment we stepped onto the court, we knew this had to be our night. I think the best way to celebrate after you want something so bad is to just to go crazy,” Chaska’s Aimee Junget commenting about the on-court celebration after the win.

“We knew we had to win tonight and start a winning streak. With our conference (matches) and the Marshall Tournament coming up, this was our last chance. We needed this win, especially in three (games),” Chaska senior Kelly Riesgraf said.

Hawks head coach Sue Murphy challenged the team before the match, especially the senior class. And it was the seniors who put the final stamp on the 25-22, 25-21 and 25-19 win.

Lauren Aase turned a 14-all tie into a 17-14 lead with a strong serve. Riesgraf scored two of the fi nal three points for Chaska on tips at the net.

“We had our talks with (Coach Murphy). We know as seniors we need to step it up and kind of get the team going. As seniors we’ve been in these situations before, so it needed to start with us. (The freshmen class) just keeps it going,” Riesgraf said.

Mu r phy notic ed a new team on the court against Burnsville, one that played at a much higher level. She started a different lineup for the third straight match – one that moved Junget to setter, Allie Duenow to libero and inserted a fi fth freshman into the lineup in Lucia Saathoff.

“I feel like in setting it comes real natural to me. I’m in more of a confident role. I feel like I’m in a position to control what the team is doing now,” said Junget, one of three captains.

With Junget taking over setting duties along with freshman Makayla Wenzel, it allows Duenow to rotate to a defensive specialist position. Murphy said the sophomore brings “stability” to the back row.

Duenow led the Hawks in digs for the second straight

“We’ve been wondering when we were going to push through and get a victory. And I just knew it was going to be tonight. I knew we had it in us.”

Erin Schindler Outside hitter match with 15 digs. Junget had a big night with 15 set assists and 11 kills.

While players have been rotating around, Schindler and her classmates have been adjusting to a new level of volleyball. Most spent last season on the freshmen team.

And up until the Burnsville match, the group was playing against juniors and seniors, while none of them had even started high school yet.

“We’ve been wondering when we were going to push through and get a victory. And I just knew it was going to be tonight. I knew we had it in us,” Schindler said.

“I know I have to step it up for the seniors. I just go out there playing as a freshman, not playing nervous or shy. I want to prove to my team, my coaches and everybody else that I can step it up and play for my team,” Schindler added.

Schindler had seven kills and 13 digs after notching 27 combined kills in the past two matches.

Wenzel had a team-high 18 set assists, while Riesgraf had 10 kills, two service aces and one solo block.

BACK TO .500 The strong start to the week continued for Chaska, which evened its record at 5-5 with a con ference victory over Northfield and a 3-2 record at the Molten Southwest Minnesota Challenge in Marshall.

Against the Raiders in the Missota opener, Chaska won the final two games to take the 3-1 victory. The scores were 25-21, 24-26, 25-14 and 25-18.

In Marshall, the Hawks split on Day One, falling to Tracy-Milroy-Balaton in the tournament opener 25-20 and 25-23, but rebounded to beat local rival Holy Family Catholic 25-8 and 25-18.

On Day Two, Chaska opened up with victories over Yellow Medicine East (25-16, 25-19) and Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa (25-15, 25-21), but fell 25-16 and 25-21 in the 17th-place match to Eastview.

Class AAA No. 2-ranked L a kev i l le Nor t h won t he 32-team tournament in Marshall.

Chaska travels to Shakopee at 7 p.m. Thursday.

HOLY FAMILY CATHOLIC FOOTBALL

Don’t miss this

Roane of all trades

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Watching Escanaba on fi lm, Holy Family Catholic coaches saw a talented quarterback i n Esky mos senior Austi n Young.

The thing is, the Fire themselves have a budding star in their own first-year starting signal caller. Michael Roane passed for two touchdowns, returned a kick for a score and connected on all six extrapoint tries in a 50-14 win over Escanaba (Mich.) Saturday in Victoria.

Having spent a year playing behind all-conference quarterback Brady Soule, Roane got a chance to see the Fire offense in action. He was a part of it, splitting out at tight end in some packages.

“It’s really complex (of an offense), but most of us are capable of learning it. Coach (Dave Hopkins) wouldn’t give us a task we couldn’t handle,” Roane said of the Fire offense, which relies on a number of signal calls at the line of scrimmage.

This year is his to lead the offense and through two games the senior has been nothing short of outstanding. Roane is Holy Family’s jack of all trades.

Holy Family Catholic led from start to fi nish over the Eskymos – a team from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

F i rst it was defense for Roane. Switching from cornerback to free safety this season, the fi rst play of the game found the hands of a diving Roane for the interception.

NEIGHBORS MEET ON THE COURT In-town rivals Chaska and Southwest Christian square off in volleyball at 7 p.m.

A few plays later, Roane hit Tommy Hanson for a 25-yard strike on third down for the 7-0 lead. The two also hooked up for a score late in the second quarter.

“Tommy and I have been playing together since we were freshmen. He has such great speed and I know if I throw to a spot, he’s always going to be there. It’s nice to have someone you can rely on,” Roane said.

Derek Ogren gave the Fire a 14-0 lead on a play Roane is pretty familiar with. Ogren took a pass from Roane behind the line of scrimmage, breaking a number of tackles for the 11-yard score. Earlier in the drive Ogren took the same play on a lateral and found Hanson down the sideline for 45 yards.

It was the same play Roane ran as a split end last season.

Roane did a lot more than run and throw on offense and make tackles and intercept a pass on defense – he also punted, kicked off after scores and knocked extra-points through the upright.

The only way Roane came off the field was by cart after he suffered severe cramps in his legs late in the fi rst half. But he returned to push a 21-7 halftime lead to a 28-point advantage after three quarters.

“It’s tiring,” said Roane about playing on almost every unit.

“But when you have a passion for

Holy Family put away the game with a pair of thirdquarter touchdowns – a 2-yard run from Connor Byrnes and a 33-yard rush from tailback Isaac Savaryn.

The Fire weren’t done and neither was Roane. He added a 43-yard kickoff return for a touchdown on an onside kick attempt to seal the victory early in the fourth quarter.

“That was pretty cool. Coach had a feeling in his stomach that they would onsides kick it.

Tanner Steen also had a 1-yard run to close out the score at 50-14.

“We’re trying to not get our heads too big. We’re looking at it one game at a time. It was a

big win (Saturday). We played well as a team. The seniors have worked hard to get to this point. We hope it pays off,” Roane added.

Not in pictured is Andy/Jake Maus.

Still looking for a victor in Father/Son Tournament On Sunday, Sept. 4, the second annual Father/Son Golf Championship was held at the Chaska Town Course. Sixteen dad/son combos from Carver, Chanhassen, Chaska and Victoria took part in the annual event. There was a threeway tie for first place between Hicks, Johnson

and Wills with a playoff being held the next few weeks to determine the winning team. Closest to the pin winner for the boys was Lincoln Johnson and longest drive was Dawson Wills. For the men, closest to the pin winner was Guy Grindberg and longest drive was Darryl Wills.

Chaska started the Missota Conference season with a loss Thursday, but the Hawks followed up the defeat with a pair of victories over two Bloomington schools.

Northfield swept all four singles matches en route to a 5-2 road victory at Chaska Thursday. Northfield won the 2010 meeting 7-0.

The Raiders didn’t drop a set in singles, giving up 11 total games. Chaska’s Lydia Passolt was the most competitive, falling 6-4, 6-0 to Ellie O’Brien at No. 1 singles.

The Hawks won at No. 1 and 2 doubles for their lone team points. Senior Rachel Meier and A llie Reineke teamed up to take down Northfield’s Jenna Dixon and Hannah Morris 6-1, 6-4 at the top doubles position.

“I’m not going to touch them. That team is working,” Williams said. “With Rachel, I hadn’t found that one person to pair with her. With Bre, we have that connection where she understands the little tidbits so I don’t have to come and remind them.”

A day after falling to Northfield 5-2 in the Missota opener, Chaska rebounded with a 6-1 win over non-conference foe Blooming ton Kennedy Friday.

The Hawks swept all four singles matches in straight sets. Chaska surrendered only seven games with seventhgrader Passolt winning 6-0, 6-0 at No. 1 singles over Tanisha Duwearatchi.

CROSS COUNTRY

Duerr: No longer a surprise

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Joey Duerr entered the Class AA rankings at No. 11 last week in the individual runners’ poll.

The Chaska freshman is on the move again this week.

Duerr ran away from the field for his second victory in three meets Thursday at the Hopkins Invitational at Gale Woods in Minnetrista. His victory moved him up to No. 5 in the latest rankings released Monday.

The Hawks’ top runner fi nished with a fast time of 16:01.4 to beat Mounds View senior Zach Roozen by almost 16 seconds. Roozen was No. 2 in the rankings last week.

“I think everyone is a little surprised,” said Chaska boys coach Jesse Longley. “I thought he had a good chance at our fi rst meet (in St. Paul). It was a pretty low-key race. At our second meet when he fi nished second I still wasn’t too surprised. But in a bigger meet with Edina, Hopkins, Eden Prairie and Mounds View, to place first, that is extremely good. It is exciting for him, our team and I’m sure his family.”

Duerr raced out to a fivesecond lead over Roozen during the fi rst mile. He stretched it out during the final 2.1 miles for the big victory. Longley said it comes down to training.

“He is naturally gifted, but he works so hard. He’s pretty smart about his training. I think it’s not so much his foot speed, but that he’s not as tired as the other runners,” said Longley on why he’s able to pull away from the field. “He has a nice simple strategy. He doesn’t push it too hard early and saves some for late in the race.”

Chanhassen’s Alec Olson and Kieran Kelly were also impressive, placing third and fi fth, respectively, with times of 16:21 and 16:32. The Storm were

fourth overall in the team race behind champion No. 7-ranked Eden Prairie, No. 9 Eastview and Minnetonka.

Chaska was 10th of 14 teams with 206 points. Besides Duerr, top-five finishes came from Spencer Urick (25th, 17:12), Nathan Hewitt (44th, 17:50), Gavin Bjorklund (62nd, 18 :15) and Jake Connealy (74th, 18:51).

It was the third straight race Urick, an eighth-grader, fi nished with a time of 17:12.

“We need Jake and Gavin to come up a bit for us to be competitive. I’m not too worried.

Gavin seems to get faster as the season goes on and hopefully he can pull Jake up with him,” Longley said.

Following Olson and Kelly were Austin Miller (19th, 17:02), Dan Holovnia (41st, 17:42) and Cameron Economy (53rd, 18:04) for Chanhassen.

“Chanhassen looks good right now and that’s exciting for them” said Longley about the rival Storm. “Right now we’re trying to close the gap with them.”

In the girls race, Chanhassen got a pair of top fi nishes from Emi ly Castanias and Anastasia Korzenowski, who placed 11th and 12th, respectively. Their times were 15:34.8 and 15:35.2.

T he S tor m wer e fou r t h overall behind champion No. 2-ranked Lakeville South, No. 3 Eden Prairie and No. 12 Edina.

Chanhassen did beat previously ranked Roseville Area – a team that beat them in the season opener – by 23 points.

Other scoring runners for the Storm were Jordan Paschke (28th, 16:07), Larissa Juelich (32nd, 16:12) and Lauren Shurson (40th, 16:30).

Chaska placed 10th in the team standings. Anna Perrill led the Hawks with a 44th-place finish of 16:32.8. Madison Miler (55th, 16:45), Jenna Urick (56th,

“It’s not quite as big of race as the last one, but if it’s dry this week it should set up to be a re-

“Things are going to start to change for Joey. They’re going to be looking for him in races and want to push the pace earlier.”

As organizers of the 30th Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon count down the days until their Oct. 2 race, an intriguing storyline is emerging for the event. There is the possibility that for the fi rst time in the event’s storied history a Minnesotan could win the men’s marathon title.

The Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon men’s tit le that has been claimed by Kenyans, Russians, Mexicans, a Dane, and even an Iowan, but never a homestate runner.

University of Minnesota alumnus Andrew Carlson of Chaska, a USA champion at 15K and 25K in his career and a member of Team USA Minnesota, will make his much-anticipated marathon debut in this year’s race.

Carlson, a two-time cross country All-American for the Gophers, recently finished sixth at the USA 20K Championships while in the middle of his training for Twin Cities.

Carlson, of course, will not only face the unique challenge of negotiating the 26.2 miles connecting the Twin Cities, but also the competition from a strong international field that is expected to include runners from across the country and around the world.

The Stars have fared better in MCAA conference play with a 2-0 record, defeating West Lutheran 4 - 0 and Heritage Christian Academy 1-0 on a

carver steamboat days Steamboat Days packed them in

BY NICK MASON nicholascmason@comcast.net

T

housands of people knew downtown Carver was the place to be last weekend.

Broadway was packed Saturday night for The Johnny Holm Band concert and fi reworks and Sunday afternoon for the parade that highlight the Carver Steamboat Days annual community celebration.

“Johnny’s playing tonight.

He’s always a good time,” Denny Chadderdon of Chanhassen said as sunset approached Saturday. “And they have a heck of a parade tomorrow.”

Crowds returned Sunday for the parade, which had 61 registered and paid entries marching, walking and riding down Sixth Street West and Broadway under the leadership of Grand Marshals Donna “Ma” Riesgraf, Barbara Swanson and Jane Thon.

The three-day Steamboat Days celebration started and ended under blue skies and brilliant sunshine, a tip of the cap to the city of Carver and host Carver Lions Club from Mother Nature.

“Absolutely perfect. I couldn’t have asked for better weather,” Greg Osterdyk, past president of Carver Lions Club and Carver’s mayor, said Sunday.

“It was a sea of people [Saturday] night. It was packed,” Osterdyk said. “The whole weekend went off without a hitch. Better than last year, and we’re hoping to build on this next year.”

The three downtown bars – Harvey’s Bar & Grill, Lisa’s Place and The Dog House – were busy all weekend.

Visiting street vendors also did well, reporting sales as brisk or better than last year.

“Beautiful weather. Good crowd. Good business. It’s been a great weekend,” said Lenny Sandven of New London, co-owner of Papa Rueben’s food stand set up on Third Street East near Broadway. “Steamboat Days is always one of our favorite events.”

More than 50 antique and classic cars – almost all shiny and lovingly restored and cared for by their owners – lined Broadway for the Car Show on Saturday. Spectators saw dozens of hot rods from the 1960s and 1970s as well as a 1929 Model A Ford, a 1933 Chevrolet sedan and a 1933 Plymouth coupe.

The Children’s Pet Show struggled Saturday, fielding only six entries, all dogs.

The Grand Champion was Cinnamon, an Australian Shepherd, and his master, Luke Ashton, 12, of Carver, a home-schooled seventh-grader.

The Miss Carver competition had 14 entries in three age groups with the coronation ceremony Friday night in Gazebo Park, on Broadway. The crowns went to Miss Carver Princess Baylee Cummins of Carver, a junior at Chanhassen High School; Junior Miss Carver Leah Shanahan of Carver, an eighth-grader at Chaska Middle School West; and Little Miss Carver Cela Watkins of Carver, a secondgrader at Guardian Angels Catholic School.

The celebration seemed to have something for everyone.

“We’re here because Steamboat Days is a good time,” Nancy Nielsen said of herself and her husband, Walter. “We’re from Waconia, and we don’t have Steamboat Days in Waconia.”

“We’re here because Steamboat Days is a good time.”

A

10-year remembrance of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks began Carver’s Steamboat Days parade on Sunday afternoon.

As the color guard passed Carver Village Hall, it paused for a moment of silence to honor those who lost their lives. The observation was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem.

The Carver Fire & Rescue Department had its entire fleet in the parade. And the department’s floats included three firefighters re-enacting the iconic photo of the firefighters who raised the American flag at Ground Zero on Sept. 11, 2001.

The day topped out at 88 degrees, according to local National Weather Service volunteer Greg Boe, and thousands crowded downtown Carver for the event. There were approximately 100 different units in the parade, estimated Bethany Raser, parade chairperson.

Senator Ortman appeared before the Board for a legislative update. She explained this year she served as the Chair of the Senate Tax Committee and the challenge was to change the course of the debate and one of the goals was to not raise taxes. Ortman pointed out they started out with a difficult task, noting the budget deficit they faced. She stated she was disappointed they had to go through the shut down.

She highlighted recent changes included in the tax bill and highlighted the changes related to maintenance of effort, LGA and the market value credit. Ortman stated some economic development opportunities were included in the bill. She pointed out the change in estate tax for business and farms and the sales tax exemptions for townships.

Senator Ortman explained the legal reform bills she had worked on and expected to come back next year.

She recognized the budget they had adopted and hoped to make further reforms to keep government in line with citizens expectations.

The Board thanked Senator Ortman for the good work she was doing and for today’s visit.

Steve Taylor, Administrative Services, requested the Board approve replacing and upgrading the County’s phone and communication system. He highlighted the reasons for upgrading the 18 year old system and what the new equipment would allow them to do. He stated the current system does not support future technology and is becoming obsolete.

Jim Running, Information Services, reviewed the benefits of the new system. He added the new system would reduce any down time, reduce space requirements and take advantage of fiber. Running indicated the new system would only require one wire back to the data center, reduce future wiring costs and allow employees to connect to data from anywhere.

The Board inquired on the possibility of holding a work session before approving to get more detail on this considering the cost. Taylor stated they had obtained a grant to lower the costs and, although that had expired at the end of the July, they agreed to hold the grant over until today. He noted they had been in negotiations over the past several months and pointed out the efficiencies they would gain with the new system. The Board agreed to act on the request today and hold a future work session for a progress update.

Ische moved, Degler seconded, to approve the purchase of CSCI Unified Communication Solution and enter into an agreement with CISCO. Motion carried unanimously.

Lynch moved, Degler seconded, to adjourn the Regular Session at 10:05 a.m. Motion carried unanimously.

Time flies when you’re in love Couple celebrates 70 years together

BY LORI CARLSON editor@plamerican.com

Time has flown for Albert and Aileen Schneider, but a whole lot has changed in the world during their 70 years as a couple.

A world war, several other wars and conflicts, and 13 presidents later, the Prior Lake residents are still happily married.

They celebrated seven decades of marriage at a party at their son’s house near Fish Lake on Aug. 14, one day before their actual anniversary.

Al and Aileen were married Aug. 15, 1941 in Shreveport, La., where Al had taken his first assignment after finishing flying school. Aileen was nearing her 19th birthday, and Al was 21.

World War II was underway, and the couple braced for Al to become part of it.

“We were sure he was going to be in the war, and they badly needed pilots,” Aileen recalls.

Al flew B-52 bomber planes, eventually logging several thousand hours and staying

in the military nearly 30 years, retiring as a colonel from March Air Force Base in Riverside, Calif.

As the war was ending in 1945, Aileen gave birth to their first child, a son named Albert Jr. In 1946, as Al was serving on a base in Berlin, Germany, Aileen and Albert Jr. came to live with Al for three years.

The family would move more than 30 times throughout their lives.

“I don’t know where 70 years went,” Aileen says. “The first 30 flew by. We were always moving, and he was gone a lot.”

In 1959, their daughter, Laura, was born.

Though she worried about Al’s safety, Aileen says his long absences helped to make her more independent.

“When we were young, women had to do everything – we didn’t have all the conveniences of modern technology,” she says.

After Al retired from the Air Force, he worked for 17 years for an investment company. The family lived in the suburbs of Denver, Colo. from 1969 until two years ago, when they moved to Prior Lake to be closer to their son and grandchildren. Laura still lives in Denver but visits frequently.

The couple has two

grandchildren, Albert III, 35, and Joseph, 19. In May 2010, they welcomed their first great grandchild.

BEGINNINGS Al and Aileen met in Cincinnati, Ohio, where they both were raised. Al recalls that they were introduced by a mutual friend. From the start, their courtship was complicated by distance.

“We were laboring under some strange circumstances,” Al says. “She lived on the complete opposite side of town from me. We kept the telephone lines busy.”

Just as their face-to-face dates became more numerous, Al headed to flying school in Shreveport. When Aileen came for a visit along with Al’s mother, he said, “We are going to be married.” Their wedding was two and a half months later, in the chapel at Barksdale Air Force Base.

“She was a very beautiful young lady,” Al says, smiling.

Even after Al retired, the family did a lot of traveling.

Al and Aileen went to Spain, Italy, France and other parts of Europe. Those trips helped them stay together, Al says.

“We both sort of enjoy the same things. We had some wonderful times. It made our life together very pleasant,”

Al says.

“We think about the same things at the same time,” Aileen adds.

Aileen says Al “used to be really cute” and that he still is “nice, determined, has a quiet sense of humor, is smart and an all-around good guy.”

Asked how he would describe her, she smiles and says, “He must think I’m alright.”

ADJUSTMENTS Getting older and having to change their way of life has taken some getting used to, Aileen says. Many of the friends they made when Al was in the Air Force have died or live far away.

They’re also still adjusting to apartment life, having had their own home in Colorado for many years. The physical limitations of age have forced them to give up their hobbies – Al loved to golf and Aileen enjoyed sewing and reading.

Aileen can’t read, sew or drive these days because macular degeneration has affected her eyesight.

Still, they enjoy getting to know new faces at their Keystone Communities home and rave about the staff at the senior-living site.

“They really make life a whole lot easier for us,” Al says.

Albert and Aileen Schneider have weathered distance, war and the effects of age and still are happily married after 70 years.

‘GIVE AND TAKE’ Young couples these days could learn a thing or two from marriage veterans like the Schneiders. Aileen says people rarely take the time to just sit and talk.

Al says he doesn’t understand how easily some people give up on their relationships.

“Either they didn’t make the right choice to begin with, or they fail to realize that life is give and take,” he says.

continued from previous page Monday, the 3rd day of October, 2011, at 7:00 P.M. in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, One City Hall Plaza, Chaska, Minnesota, 55318-1962, to consider, and possibly adopt, the proposed assessment for Chevalle Site Improvements. The general nature of the improvements involves wetland, storm water, bridge, sidewalk, paving and landscape improvements in Chevalle. Said assessment is consistent with Minnesota Statutes, Sections 429.011 to 429.11. Adoption by the City Council of the proposed assessment may occur at the meeting.

The area proposed to be assessed includes: Outlots L & N, Chevalle; Outlot D, Chevalle 3rd Addition; Outlots A, B & E Chevalle 5th Addition; Outlots B & C, Chevalle 8th Addition; and, Outlots A & B, Chevalle 9th Addition.

Such assessment is proposed to be payable in equal annual installments of both principal and interest extending over a period of ten (10) years, the first of the installments to be payable on or before the first Monday in January 2012, and will bear interest at the rate of five (5) percent per annum from the date of the adoption of the assessment resolution. To the first installment shall be added interest on the entire assessment from the date of the assessment resolution until December 31, 2012. To each subsequent installment when due shall be added interest for one year on all unpaid installments.

You may at any time prior to certification of the assessment to the county auditor, pay the entire assessment on such property, with interest accrued to the date of payment, to the city treasurer. No interest shall be charged if the entire assessment is paid within 30 days from the adoption of this assessment. You may at any time thereafter pay to the city treasurer the entire amount of the assessment remaining unpaid, with interest accrued to December 31 of the year in which such payment is made.

Such payment must be made before November 15 or interest will be charged through December 31 of the succeeding year. If you decide not to prepay the assessment before the date given above, the rate of interest that will apply is five (5) percent per year. The option to partially prepay the assessment is not available.

The proposed assessment roll is on file for public inspection at the City Clerk’s office. The total amount of the proposed assessment is $795,000. Written or oral objections will be considered at the meeting.

No appeal may be taken as to the amount of an assessment unless a signed, written objection is filed with the Clerk prior to the hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing. The Council may, upon such notice, consider any objection to the amount of a proposed individual assessment at an adjourned meeting upon such further notice to the affected property owner(s) as it deems advisable.

Under Minnesota Statutes, Section 435.193 to 435.195, and City Ordinance, Chapter 20.5, Article II, Sections 26 – 30, the Council may, at its discretion, defer the payment of the special assessment for any homestead property owned by a person 65 years of age or older, or retired by virtue of a permanent and total disability, for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments. When deferment of the special assessments has been granted, and is terminated for any reason provided in that law, all amounts accumulated, plus applicable interest, become due. Any assessed property owner meeting the requirements of this law and Chapter 20.5 Code of Ordinances, City of Chaska, adopted under it may, within 30 days of the confirmation of the assessment, apply to the Clerk for the prescribed form for such deferral of payment of this special assessment on his property.

The owner(s) may appeal an assessment to the District Court pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.081, by serving notice of the appeal upon the Mayor or Clerk of the City of Chaska within thirty (30) days after the adoption of the assessment roll and filing such notice with the District Court within ten (10) days after service upon the Mayor or Clerk. No appeal,

however, may be taken as to the amount of any assessment adopted unless a written objection signed by the affected property owner(s) is filed with the Municipal Clerk prior to the assessment hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing.

Pursuant to a separate agreement, the owner of the property subject to the proposed assessment has waived all irregularities in the assessment process and their statutory rights of appeal.

The City intends to proceed according to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429.

All persons interested may appear and be heard at said time and place.

He highlighted the project location. He stated the City approached the County and requested the upgrade of Engler in preparation for future development. Robjent described the project and reviewed the funding agreement reached with the City. He pointed out the work session previously held with the Board and the recommendation to negotiate a reasonable cost share with the City and to develop financing plans for the County’s share of project.

Robjent explained the approximate 2.7 million estimate for the project and the DEED grant that was received by the City that lowered the County’s share to 51% of the cost. He stated the City would like to complete the final design this year and begin construction in 2012.

Piano teacher’s reach spreads far and wide

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Candace Sather, of Laketown Township, has been teaching music since age 16.

Editor’s note: The Chaska Herald publishes an occasional column by Barb Hone of the Arts Consortium of Carver County. The Pillars of the Arts project recognizes and honors the people throughout Carver County who have promoted, supported, and contributed to all expressions of the arts over the years and continue to do so.

Candace Sather started taking piano lessons at the age of 6 and by the second grade she knew she wanted to be a piano teacher. She never wavered. Her childhood home was in the New Brighton area.

Her teachers were Merrily Stone and Hazelle Quist.

At age 16, Candace began teaching. She earned her bachelor’s degree in music education from the University of Minnesota. Since other paths led to instrumental studies, she majored in vocal music to ensure staying close to the piano.

After college, Candace taught music in the Mounds

Barb

HONE PILLAR OF THE ARTS

View school district for four years. At Crown College she was an accompanist and teacher.

While raising her family, she taught private lessons from her home. She had 30 to 40 students at that time.

Meggie and Sam started lessons early — at age 2 they were studying violin.

Throughout their school years, Candace was their piano teacher. Today, both are professionals in the field of music. Focusing on voice, Sam teaches music at Jonathan

Elementary and Meggie teaches piano pedagogy at Ohio State University.

Candace loves teaching private lessons. Currently she has 70 students. Her teaching day begins at 6:30 a.m. She can get three lessons in prior to the school day beginning.

In the afternoons, students arrive again at 2:45 p.m., continuing until 9:30 p.m.

Candace is a member of the Minnesota Music Teachers’ Association (MMTA). Through this excellent organization, she has graded exams, judged contest participants; she enters her students in Theory, Piano Exams, Contests and Ensembles. She credits MMTA’s programs with adding inspiration and motivation for her students.

Candace also recognizes the importance of parental support and involvement in each student’s development.

Advancing in piano study “is a group effort.”

Candace loves kids. She thoroughly enjoys watching the learning process in each

student. Believe it or not, she gets a special thrill from teaching middle school kids.

Candice’s sense of humor melds perfectly with the early teen mind.

Candace has a lovely grand piano in her living room of her Laketown Township home.

In her studio she has another grand, a studio piano and a keyboard in the waiting room for students to practice sightreading prior to each lesson.

In her spare time, Candace is a church organist and day care provider for two young grandchildren. In her free time she plays the piano for herself.

“Playing always lifts my spirits,” she said.

A glimpse into the life of renowned Carver County piano teacher – Candace Sather.

Barb Hone is an arts enthusiast, piano teacher, and charter member of the Arts Consortium of Carver County.

Her column “Pillars of the Arts” appears periodically in the Chaska Herald.
