Downtown Chaska has seen a number of business closures since 2008 – when the economy began to tank and Highway 212 moved north. The downtown sector has seen far fewer new businesses open up shop.

or Gary Cooper, every time a business closes downtown, he feels it at his grocery store.

“Every time a business leaves, our business seems to sink lower,” he said.

Cooper’s has been an institution in downtown Chaska for generations, but Cooper, who said he has been dipping into his retirement funds to keep the Chaska store afloat, doesn’t know how much longer it can survive in this climate.

He’s hardly alone.

Since 2008, downtown Chaska has seen a number of notable business

closures downtown. Most recently, owner Tom Hayden announced he would be shutting down Chaska Farm and Garden, after more than 30 years of operation in downtown Chaska.

Before that, the city suffered blows as Kentucky Fried Chicken closed its doors, Norseman Travel moved to Richfield and the Peacock Inn Bed and Breakfast became a sober house.

Chaska is trying to stem the blood flow, placing most of its chips behind a master plan for the downtown. The plan focuses on creating a welcoming environment through redesigned streetscapes and a handful of redevelopment sites.

In an early November referendum, District 112 will ask voters to provide nearly $2 million a year to fund technology improvements over the next 10 years.

While the district bases the necessity to ask that question on comparisons to other school districts, it fi rst turned to a survey conducted this past spring to understand if residents would indeed support spending more on local schools.

District 112 Superintendent Jim Bauck said the need for technology money has been apparent for awhile.

“There was a plan as far back as 2007 for additional expenditures, but the school board at the time

knew there would be marginal community interest due to the economy,” he said. “During our current budget process, the problem of funding our technology requirements really began to stare us all in the face and we realized we’d have to come up with a solution or back off on much of our curriculum innovation.”

That realization prompted the school board to ask for specific technology-related questions in a community survey, said Bauck.

“We needed to find answers to how we would fund the technology requirements and to find out the position of the community on the subject,” he said.

The Decision Resources survey indicates the typical district resident would support spending $4.40 a month more in property taxes for school technology funds.

Football players to go pink on Friday

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

Chanhassen High School’s football team is leading the charge for breast cancer awareness in October. At this Friday night’s football game against the Chaska Hawks, Storm players will be wearing pink socks in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

The idea sprouted for Nathan Holasek after his grandmother was diag nosed with breast cancer last winter. In addition, his mother Lau ra Holasek coordinates the breast cancer awareness program at Park Nicollet Clinics. When Nathan learned that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, he approached his mom to ask what they could do to raise awareness, partly in honor of his grandmother.

She suggested pink socks and mouthguards, similar to what NFL players did last year.

Nathan approached his coaches and his team.

Nearly everyone on the team has been touched by breast cancer through family and friends, Nathan said. “It seemed like a good thing to do,” Nathan said, and the team agreed.

On Tuesday, Nathan, Mike Cerjance and Dylan Young described how the idea developed.

“My older brother Holton Young wore a pink glove during last season’s football season,” Dylan said. “He didn’t really make a big deal about it, so it really didn’t go anywhere.”

“Then my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer this past year,” Nathan said.

“We thought it would be a good idea to wear pink for October.”

The team will wear the pink socks and mouthguards at this Friday’s game, and although it has yet to be discussed with the rest of the team, the boys are hopeful that they’ll continue wearing the pink at all their October’s games.

According to Laura Holasek, the Storm Booster Club and Park Nicollet have teamed up and will hand out free pink wristbands and important breast cancer awareness information.

Fans also are encouraged to wear pink at Chaska/Chanhassen football game Friday night, which begins at 5 p.m.

“There will be sea of pink in the crowd and on the field,” Holasek predicts. “Chanhassen players, cheerleaders and fans

Workers installed a giant pink ribbon at the main entrance of the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres last Friday morning.

The Pink Ribbon represents the CDT’s month-long campaign to honor breast cancer survivors and raise funds for a cure.

CDT is partnering with “Hairspray” sponsor, Regis Salons, and the Regis Foundation for Breast Cancer Research.

Throughout October, Chanhassen Dinner Theatres will partner with show sponsor Regis Salons and the Regis Foundation for Breast Cancer Research, the American Cancer Society, and the Minnesota Department of Health to spread the word, celebrate survivors, and raise funds to fight breast cancer.

The CDT’s interest in highlighting breast cancer awareness and a search for a cure is both personal and professional.

For one thing, October is Bre a st C a nc er Awa rene ss Month.

Carver County Library Director Melissa Brechon has announced her plan to retire at the end of 2011. Brechon has been library director in Carver County since Nov. 30, 1998.

Under Brechon’s leadership, the county built new libraries in Chanhassen, Waconia, and Norwood Young America, expanded the Chaska Library,

and added express libraries in Victoria and Cologne.

Before coming to Carver County, Brechon had been public library director in Austin, Minn.

According to Steve Taylor, division director at Carver County, the position has been posted and closes on Friday, Oct. 14.

Taylor said there will be two rounds of interviews that will include members of the Carver

County Board, and the Carver County Library Board, and other stake holders.

The position of library dir e c tor h a s b e en r en a me d , Taylor said, to manager of library services, to make it consistent with all other similar management positions in the county.

Taylor said that under the current schedule, the Brechon’s replacement should be filled

by Jan. 1.

Traffic detoured on Highway 101 Motorists traveling Highway 101 in Chanhassen will experience delays and a detour as the roadway is closed between Highway 14/Pioneer Trail and County Road 61/Flying Cloud Drive. The road closed Oct. 3 and will reopen by Oct. 17.

The detour for southbound Highway 101 will direct motorists to westbound Highway 212

to southbound Highway 41 to eastbound County Road 61/ Flying Cloud Drive and back to Highway 101, according to a MnDOT press release. Northbound motorists reverse the route.

Access to local businesses and residences will be maintained from the south only. To reach local businesses and resi-

dences during the road closure, use northbound Highway 101.

The closures are needed as crews repair a 500-foot section of Highway 101 that has a history of frost heaving, the release stated. When complete, the project will result in a fully rebuilt section of road with an improved roadbed and drainage.

SQUAD CARS

around the country.

“We’ve been using Crown Victorias for as long as I remember,” Kamerud said.

The Sheriff’s Office purchases several squad cars annually, Kamerud said. The typical deputy puts about 18,000 miles on a vehicle per year and most vehicles are used by several deputies daily. Once the vehicles approach 100,000 miles, performance begins to decline and the vehicles are reassigned to other county departments, Kamerud said.

Kamerud said the Sheriff’s Office is also planning to evaluate new police models being introduced by Chevrolet and Ford. Financial considerations, such as cost of the vehicle and gasoline costs, will weigh heavily on what vehicle eventually

is selected, he said.

But regard less of which model becomes the mainstay of the f leet, the new graphic design package was created to work with any model.

continued from page 1

Deputy Chris Curtis, who works out of Cha n hassen, helped develop the updated design for the new squad cars.

The new design includes a new black and yellow color scheme, sleeker striping, and a reflective badge symbol that is visible at long distances at night.

Curtis, who put in about 70 hours of work into the design and gathered feedback from Sheriff’s Office personnel, said the feedback from inside and outside the department has been all positive.

Commander Jason Kamerud said the Sheriff’s Office is in an evaluation phase currently, as are law enforcement agencies

TECHNOLOGY QUESTIONS The district had been planni ng a com mu nit y su r vey by market and research fi rm Decision Resources, Ltd., as it has periodically over the past 20 years. So district officials asked to have a few questions added targeted specifically toward the receptiveness of a technology referendum.

T he Decision Resou rces survey included two sets of telephone interviews between May 31 and June 17. The fi rst was a general population survey of 400 randomly selected households in the District 112 boundaries. The second included 250 households randomly selected from parents of current District 112 students.

The survey provided several results about community feelings around technology in District 112 schools. In general, district residents believe technology is important to a student’s education. The survey indicates that 85 percent of parents and 88 percent of residents rate technology opportunities for students good or excellent, while 96 percent of parents and 92 percent of residents believe a student’s ability to use new technologies effectively is very important or absolutely essential.

District officials hope the importance of technology to residents will lead to support for increased funding for technology its schools.

According to the Decision Resources survey, among all district residents, the typical respondent would support a $4.40 per month or $52.80 per year property tax increase. The typical current parent would suppor t a $ 5.92 per month increase, or a $71.40 per year property tax rise. Approximately 33 percent of all residents would support up to a $10 per month increase.

But the survey indicates the school district will have to put some effort into persuading residents to vote for the referendum.

At the start of a referendum campaign, 62 percent of residents would require persuasion to vote for a proposal. And 22 percent of all residents would vote against almost any proposal, while 13 percent would vote for almost any question.

When compared to technology funding by neighboring districts, 38 percent of all residents and 41 percent of current parents indicated they would be more likely to support increasing the district’s technology levy.

GENERAL FINANCES The survey indicated a majority of residents have positive

CHASKA POLICE Chaska Police Chief Scott Knight said his department received one last Crown Victoria model this year.

“That allows us to see what ot her agencies ex perience and fi nd out what is the best and most reasonable vehicle,” Knight said.

The Chaska Police Department will be purchasing a different vehicle make next year.

But as far as the graphic design is concerned?

“We’re ver y happy wit h ours,” Knight said.

The survey says …

District 112 officials gauged support of a technology levy from a spring survey. Here are some of the levy specific results: 70% of residents are willing to invest in education by paying higher taxes, provided the schools can show they operate efficiently and more funding can improve the quality of educational programs.

SURVEY HISTORY Decision Resources has performed resident surveys for District 112 for over 20 years and has periodically been

used by the cities of Chaska and Chanhassen for similar surveys.

“We rely on Decision Resources to perform statistically valid polls to get accurate feelings about what our citizens are thinking,” said Lori Kendall, District 112 community relations assistant. “They are unique because they perform surveys all over the metro area and can compare where we are in context with others.”

The district did use Decision Resources to determine their referendum direction for the construction of Chanhassen High School.

“We had one survey to determine if the community wanted one or two high schools and the survey showed they wanted two to provide students more opportunity for involvement,” said Kendall. “And we did another survey to determine if the referendum for Chanhassen High School would pass. The survey suggested it would, so we went ahead with it.”

feelings about District 112 and its fi nances in general.

When asked if the District 112 administration and board have spent tax money effectively and efficiently over the last couple of years, 64 percent believed it has, while 56 percent of residents rate the fi nancial management of District 112 as excellent or good.

“When we looked at fiscal responsibility, Eastern Carver County Schools received one of the highest ratings in the metro area,” said Bill Morris, president of Decision Resources. “The fiscal management of [District 112] is highly rated despite the moderately hostile tax climate in the area. This perception contributes to the support for a future capital technology levy if a decision is made to pursue one in the future.”

GUEST COMMENTARY

Technology powers learning

BY JIM LEONE

On Sept. 8, the School Board voted unanimously to bring a technology referendum to residents of Eastern Carver County Schools. This is an action we’re taking on behalf of the children you elected us to serve – 9,000 this year and growing.

In recent years we have challenged our outstanding educators to secure the best education possible for our students by re-examining our K-12 program.

They answered that challenge with strengthened curriculum and exciting additions to classroom learning at every level.

Today, technology is powering learning at every school. It engages and motivates students. It is a powerful instructional tool, extending and personalizing learning far beyond the limitations of classrooms.

And, it requires investment.

The district’s technology plan calls for technology expenditures every year. We’ve never had the budget to completely fund the plan. Technology comes out of our capital budget, competing with other priorities. Our last budget development process showed clearly that more money needs to be invested in our facilities to keep

them in good condition. We have to invest in and protect the assets you funded through bonds in years past. However, moving more capital dollars to facilities means fewer dollars available for technology.

We need a stable funding source for technology. With stability, we can plan for technology to be there to support and personalize instruction. Without stability, we’ll have less money to do what we know needs to be done to support learning through technology.

We ask you to become informed about the issues surrounding this ballot question. Visit our website at www.district112.org. And please go to the polls on Nov. 8.

We know it’s a tough time to be asking for additional investment in your schools. We’re asking for less than we need in recognition of current economic challenges. But your investment in the community’s children will make a difference for every student.

Thank you for considering our request.

Jim Leone is chair of the District 112 School Board. It was written on behalf of the board, including: Jim Leone, chair; Lisa Anderson, vicechair/clerk; Carole Baab, treasurer; and directors Fred Berg, Tim Klein, Heather Nelson, and Dick Tirk.

We can still have a small-town spirit The concept of being a strong community has many components, many pieces and requires a shared vision by the community itself.

Recently community service clubs (Chaska Lions, Rotary and Kiwanis) have come together to sponsor a Chaska Cares golf tournament with excess profits going to the Bountiful Basket Food Shelf.

This is one example of the community working together and to build a stronger and more caring community.

Another element is the ability of the faith community to work together and make a difference in the lives of people in need. Today, 22 churches across eastern Carver County are working together as part of Love INC and doing just that.

The weekly St John’s Gathering Place, an evening meal program, is another example of reaching out and caring for others with a meal provided to community members.

These are but a few of so many examples of community actions that build community. But even with these actions, we do see the erosion of community in many towns across our country. We see the loss of main street business and the impact of a sagging economy on individuals, which causes people to withdraw rather than engage.

In days gone by, those that grew up in small towns lived that small town life. They gathered together and interacted in their churches, their Main Street stores, taverns and bakeries. With urbanization and growth came the erosion of this more simple lifestyle.

The economy became much more industrialized and less agriculturally based, which also took away from the vitality of small-town life and gave way to large shopping malls and much more of a suburban life.

Along with that reality come lives that are more challenging and complex. Regardless, we must not ever give up on believing in that sense of community and the importance of possessing a spirit of community where, when you come to our town, you know you are in a real community.

No matter our size as a community, we can possess a spirit of small town and support the things important to small-town life, beginning with caring about each

other, and not waiting for a crisis to drive that caring.

Sure we have all of the benefits of being in a metropolitan area, but many people also desire to live in community and have such a place to call home, whether you’re single, married with family or part of the silver tsunami. What it takes is to be intentional and make this a real continuing objective because this is not a program where there is a beginning and an end.

Plus it takes a willingness to invest in this effort. At a time when people run from any kind of spending and some extreme views would never want to see another public dime spent on such things, we need to understand what this all means and place a priority on this work and invest in this thinking and its work.

It’s been done in our past and we cannot abandon that thinking in our future. The above mentioned projects, for the most part, have not cost the public any money and it is building community.

I hope we never stop investing in education or in this work of building community. People do want the services of a real community so, as an example, when one does grow older they won’t have to move to some other more progressive town to find a place to live.

Our community is well positioned in this journey.

Our community leadership is committed to this thinking but it takes a renewed commitment and a willingness to believe in the importance of living in and building community each and every day.

There is no end to this work!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR POLITICS

Obama’s Jobs Act proposal is a bust Barack Obama’s proposed $447 billion Jobs Act is proof that he is either completely clueless with regard to how to fi x the American economy or hell-bent on destroying the American economic private sector in hopes shifting America to a socialist system.

His anti-business regulations, Obamacare, high tax policies, and support for our predatory legal environment have convinced me it’s the latter. Not to mention his Labor Board’s closure of the new non-union Boeing plant in South Carolina, where thousands of great jobs are being squandered.

Obama is trying to blame Republicans for the unemployment and hardship he himself is creating for America’s middle class with his relentless attacks on our private sector, and he’s counting on his allies in the media, educational and entertainment communities to continue to help him sell this lie. His plan is to raise taxes once again to get the $447 billion, which will only discourage private-sector entrepreneurial activity, send more jobs overseas, and further erode confidence in the American economy and the dollar.

Tim Geithner, Obama’s treasury secretary, recently told ABC’s Diane Sawyer that the $200,000 per job cost of the Jobs Act, as calculated by Harvard economist Martin Feldstein, is a must because there is no other alternative. Wrong!

Just one obvious private sector fi x – instead of paying for expensive make-work jobs, an America-fi rst president and Congress dedicated to making America energy independent would pursue a vigorous program that allows drilling for oil in a tiny section of Alaska and other domestic areas now off limits.

Imagine also that A merica’s infrastructure for refining and distribution of both oil and natural gas (we’re sitting on a sea of natural gas) finally gets the bureaucratic approval to be rebuilt as needed.

Millions of well paying, permanent private sector jobs would be created directly and indirectly as a result.

The cost to the taxpayers would be nonexistent and much real wealth would be created, along with a windfall of greater tax revenues for government at all levels, and the dollar is strengthened. A great place to be if you’re anti-Socialist and Americafi rst at heart.

I haven’t the slightest doubt that most of the $447 billion Jobs Act funds would in fact be funneled to those states and unions most friendly to Democrats, just like most of the trillion dollar Stimulus Pack-

More than twothirds of all stimulus dollars going to Wisconsin two years ago went to the public sector there, including the union thugs who trashed the state capitol building and continue to send their union appropriated taxpayer dollars to Democrats.

When politicians and bureaucrats create jobs, the taxpayer gets clobbered because political favoritism usually results. The billions of taxpayer dollars the president is squandering to his political allies at Solyndra, SolarReserve LLC, and other “green” companies are just the latest examples. (Nancy Pelosi’s brother-in-law is No. 2 at SolarReserve LLC – just approved for $737 million.)

FOOD SHELF

Building community On Sept. 9, the Chaska Town Course hosted its fi rst annual Chaska Cares Classic Golf Tournament.

This community event was very successful and included donating a large part of its golf tournament proceeds to the Bountiful Basket Food Shelf of Eastern Carver County.

This food shelf is located in Chaska and is temporarily housed at Highway 41 and Chaska Boulevard in the former Snyder Drug building.

The food shelf serves upward of 1,000 individuals a month from the Chaska, Chanhassen, Carver and Victoria areas. In 2010, over 265,000 pounds of food was donated to families who were in need of help.

The Chaska Cares Classic event was staged by the Chaska Lions, Chaska Rotary and Chaska Kiwanis. These

Chaska civic organizations have always been known for their caring volunteer commitment in helping to build community and for many times assisting those who are most in need.

Starting in October, the city of Chaska will begin a renovation project at the former water treatment plan on Bavaria Road. This project, when completed in January of 2012, will become the permanent site of the Bountiful Basket Food Shelf.

This site presently accommodates Love INC and will continue to do so following the renovation project.

The local food shelf is operated and managed by local volunteers with assistance as needed provided by the CAP Agency. Eastern Carver County residents will hear more about their local food shelf over the next few months including volunteer and food drive opportunities.

The new volunteer board has created a web page at www.bountifulbasketfoodshelf.org and has plans to communicate its services to area governmental leaders, churches and civic organizations. If you would like to have someone come and visit your group or organization and tell you more about who we are and how you may be able to get involved please call (952) 227-7745. If you would like to volunteer at the food shelf please call (952) 556-0244. The Bountiful Basket Food Shelf is open Monday to Wednesday and on Fridays from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m.

There are a lot of different paths one can take to help build community. Caring for those who are in need of assistance through partnering with organizations like the Chaska Lions, Chaska Rotary and Chaska Kiwanis is certainly a path worthy of thanks.

Tom Redman Chairman Bountiful Basket Food Shelf Board

Unknown future for test results District 112 AYP Results SUBGROUPS FAILING TO MAKE AYP IN 2011 Chaska High: Free & Reduced Lunch Math Chanhassen High: Special Education Reading

Each year of the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) education program has brought somewhat consistent results for District 112. This year is no different. District students, in general, made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), while a few individual student groups did not.

But this year, the results are reported amidst uncertainty in how Minnesota schools must react to the federal results. The federal government has made provisions for states to apply for waivers from the federal program’s requirements.

“Minnesota is directed by state law to release AYP data this year – however we are hopeful that positive changes in how we measure, support, and report school improvement are on the way,” said Minnesota Department of Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius in a press release. “Labeling schools as “failures” or imposing one-size-fits-all mandates is a flawed way to address the unique challenges facing some of our schools.”

DISTRICT RESULTS In Minnesota, students take the MCA-II test each spring as part of NCLB. Results from the MCA-II tests taken last spring indicate, as a whole, District 112 students exceed state proficiency averages.

But the NCLB program has benchmarks that require all specific student subgroups to perform better than the previous year to make AYP. The subgroups are developed with regard to factors such as race, English-speaking ability and income level.

As in past years, several subgroups at some District 112 schools did not meet the federal AYP requirements this year.

And as with past years, those subgroups primarily involve small student samples in Limited English Proficiency, Free/ Reduced Lunch and Special Education.

“In general, we are pleased with the majority of our results, especially because as the proficiency bar is raised each year, we continue to hit that bar for

the majority of our groups,” said District 112 K-12 curriculum coordinator Cathy Gallagher.

“But we know we have to focus on interventions and assistance for specific subgroups to allow for all students to make as much growth as possible.”

Gallagher said making AYP in all subgroups can be a challenge when taking into account students coming into the district with limited English proficiency skills.

“But we are really committed

Under the current NCLB law, state schools that do not meet AYP with their test results must face consequences, such as allowing students to choose which school they attend.

The state of Minnesota submitted for a temporary waiver from certain provisions of NCLB in August. While the U. S. Department of Education has not acted on the waiver request, it has laid out a process by which states can apply for a waiver from NCLB mandates beginning in November.

Cassellius said Minnesota would apply. If Minnesota is granted a waiver, relief from those mandates may come as soon as this school year. “We are hopeful that positive changes in how we measure, support, and report school improvement are on the way,” said Cassellius in a recent press release. “As we put together our waiver package, we aim to put Minnesota’s stamp of excellence and our own common sense approach on efforts to reform education.”

Gallagher said the presence or lack of a waiver would not change the district’s approach.

“Our goal is always to help our students make continuous improvement,” she said. “But a waiver would be beneficial because it is in no one’s best interest to use one data point as a measure of success. It would allow schools to spend time and money more effectively in fi nding the best ways to represent the whole student.”

SCHOOL BRIEFS

SouthWest Chamber supports tech levy At its recent board meeting, the SouthWest Metro Chamber of Commerce board of directors voted to support District 112’s upcoming technolog y referendum question, citing the benefits to business of a prepared and educated workforce, according to a chamber press release.

The question, which will be on the ballot on Nov. 8 is asking taxpayers for $1.98 million per year for the next 10 years. The dollars generated by the referendum will be used to invest in technology infrastructure, teacher and student devices and classroom technology.

The board invited Superintendent Jim Bauck and Director of Finance and Operations DeeDee Kahring to the board

meeting to answer questions and share additional information about the technology referendum, how the dollars will be used and the impact on commercial businesses.

“There is no question that students need to be prepared to compete in a global marketplace,” stated board chair Mark Halla. “The future workforce will need to display many different competencies and technology is an important factor in that preparation. Technology is changing and evolving every day and will certainly effect how students will be interacting and delivering their work in the future.”

When asked about the investment over a 10 year period instead of a shorter time span, Bauck stated, “Technology is not going away, it is evolving every day and I don’t foresee a time when our need or in-

vestment in technology will diminish.” When asked if the investment in technology will translate to improved student achievement, Bauck said that the research doesn’t make a clear argument either way.

Some studies show benefits to having technology tools available to them, other studies show that the technology doesn’t cause a measurable change in student performance.

“Businesses understand the importance of investment in our schools, but they clearly expect that those investments should produce improved results,” stated Deb McMillan, president of the SouthWest Metro Chamber of Commerce, in a press release. “Taxpayers have a right to expect a return on their investment in a better prepared, globally competitive future workforce. Technology is just one tool that helps to

deliver that.”

“That said, we can’t lose sight of the importance of the basics as well. Every student should be reading at grade level before progressing on.

All students should be effective communicators, both verbal and written. With so many resources at their fi ngertips, students need to be taught critical thinking and how to cull through volumes of data and ensure credible, accurate information,” McMillan said.

A crow’s worst nightmare

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

After a hiatus of several years, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum sent out a call in August for public entries in its annual Scarecrows on Parade exhibit. Five families entered the contest.

The entry called “Prince Chiming” (it is decorated with wind chimes) by the Price family of St. Louis Park, won first prize.

“The entries were extremely well made,” said Nate Kells, marketing associate. Online instructions directed entries to be sturdy to handle fall weathering. “Everyone went above and beyond,” Kells said. “We told them to take creative license and they did.”

The public can still vote on the “People’s Choice” scarecrow, either online at www.arboretum.umn.edu, or in person at the Arboretum.

The scarecrows will be on display now through Sunday, Nov. 6, as part of the Arboretum’s Autumn Unplugged celebration, which includes Pumpkin Palooza in the Great Hall through Oct. 31.

victoria TOWN SQUARE Business owner throws education challenge to community at large

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

As a former engineering professional, Gary Alick knows what it takes to succeed in engineering and the sciences.

So he was excited to learn that District 112 elementary schools are implementing STEM into their curriculums.

STEM is an acronym for Science, Technolog y, Engineering, and Mathematics. It’s a way of teaching those disciplines in a way that helps students become creative problem solvers. STEM methods teach creativity, problem solving and critical thinking.

The idea excited him enough that he contacted Victoria Elementary Principal Jill Velure.

What could the local business community do to help VES’s teachers and support the curriculum?

Did the school need technology? Did the teachers need more materials and resources?

What about iPads?

Currently, Victoria Elementary has 16, which allows only one classroom to use them at a time, Alick learned.

At first, Alick considered asking the Victoria business community to make donations to VES, to help them purchase additional technology, like iPads for example.

But as he t hought more about the many needs Victoria Elementary School has, he widened his scope.

“I was reading stories when school started, about families and kids who can’t even afford backpacks,” Alick said. “That’s sad. For some families, that’s a bundle of money. Thanks to the Victoria Lions for the backpacks and calculators they donated to VES this year.

“And then I started thinking. Even when my kids were in school, we kicked in a few bucks to their schools for supplies.

These days, teachers have even less money. I thought, ‘Why can’t we help, and get the school year off to a banner start?’”

Alick threw down a chal-

lenge to the local business community.

“Let’s each donate something to our local schools, whether it’s VES or another school in the area,” Alick said.

“It doesn’t necessarily have to be technology. It’s anything we can do so teachers don’t have to take money out of their own pockets for classroom supplies.

“We’re not getting all the good minds into science and math like we should,” Alick said. “We need to challenge our kids at a younger age. And on top of that, teachers can’t afford to supply their classrooms.

Schools can’t afford to do it all either.

“Education is really a big deal for me,” Alick said. “If we all stepped to make even one donation—even a box of Kleenex—that’s great. iPads are great but schools need all kinds of other supplies, too.

“I’m so sick of hearing about American education falling behind,” Alick said. “I’m challenging everyone, not just in

The leaves are donning their fi nal beauty until they freeze and fall. Hunters are anxiously waiting for No vember, when hunting season begins for fi rearms.

My dad’s nephew was in Minnesota from Da lar na, Sweden in August. Torsten and his wife, Anna, wanted to come in the fall before the snow hits in Minnesota. They had to get back to their home in Sweden for the moose hunt, which begins in the middle of September.

South of the provinces of Dalarna and Hälsingland, the hunt begins on the second Monday in October. There are approximately 30 0,0 0 0 moose in Sweden. Moose are hunted by teams of hunters using rifles and dogs. Walkietalkies are used by the hunters to keep in touch with one another. One shot to the moose is the expectation so there is a minimum meat loss. The hunting team shares the costs and meat regardless of who shoots the moose.

Moose hunting focuses on getting the meat, not a trophy.

My cousin, Torsten and his son each received 50 kilos of moose meat from this year’s hunt, which is approximately 110 pounds of meat. This meat goes in their freezers and is consumed until the next year’s hunt. When I visit Torsten and Anna in Sweden, I eat moose meat several times a week.

They sit empty now, but just wait … not for the snow, silly. This weekend, the Highland Ski and Snowboard Area will open one of its chairlifts and a look at the leaves is just a part of it.

Clouds-eye view, almost anyway Three Rivers offers fall perspective from a chairlift

BY DANIEL HUSS dhuss@swpub.com

E

ver see a guy wade deep into the ocean just to get a better picture of a sunset? The Three Rivers Park District can do better than that. This weekend, they’re giving fall chairlift rides.

Those that want a clouds-eye view of autumn can get one. If you just want to ride a chairlift to one of the highest points in the metro area, you can do that too.

“We’ve been doing this for 18 years,” said Fred Seymour, Three Rivers Park District senior manager of alpine services. “We used to call the event Fall Color Chairlift Rides.

Now we just call it Fall Chairlift rides.”

What happened to the color?

“We used to start at noon and no

one would show up until later in the evening,” he said.

Now, they show up late and stay late.

As such, the event, held over two days, has morphed into something bigger than chairlift rides.

“We bring raptors out from the Nature Center,” said Seymour, “We play games, we sit around the campfire, and we make s’mores.”

Hot dogs and burgers are also available, as is access to telescopes to look at the stars. There’s also a lantern-lit to trail to walk.

Heck, there’s even going to be a band, Pig’s Eye Landing.

Typically, the event attracts 2,000 to 2,500 (roughly 1,000 per day).

“It’s a mix,” adds Seymour. “Half the people are coming back, half the people are new.”

It goes without saying that some of the people are new to riding chairlifts.

Fall Chairlift Rides Location: Hyland Ski and Snowboard Area, Bloomington Date: Friday, Oct. 7 (5-9 p.m.) and Saturday, Oct. 8 (4-9 p.m.)

Cost: $5/person – group rates available for groups of 4 or more.

Children younger than 2 are free.

Participants must sign a waiver available on the website at threeriversparkdistrict.org or at the event.

“Envision a slow ride at Valleyfair,” said Seymour.

That’s the ride up the hill, what about getting back down?

“A lot of the kids just roll down the hill,” laughs Seymour.

OTHER THREE RIVERS PARK DISTRICT OFFERINGS:

Shakopee backs 101 crossing with four lanes

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

River Crossing

It appears the stars are lining up behind County Road 101 as the preferred option for a raised river crossing in this area.

Communities on both sides of the river back the 101 option over Highway 41 in Chaska, but the city of Shakopee would like the state to expand the crossing to four lanes — or at the very least, make it expandable.

State transportation engineers were in town Sept. 28 meeting with Shakopee businesses about the state’s flood mitigation study. On Friday, they released their fi nal report with all the Minnesota River modeling.

From this data, the state must now decide which crossing to submit this fall for competitive bonding dollars. But from the conversation at last week’s meeting, it appears a given that County Road 101 will be submitted.

Engi neers t hemselves seemed surprised by how much potential the narrower 101 crossing showed over Highway 41 once the data was complete.

The main bridge on Highway 41 limits that crossing from being raised as high as 101.

The study produced a lot of good data no one knew before, including that the 101 crossing can be raised to provide 100-year flood protection, said Scott County Deputy County Administrator Lezlie Vermil-

Flying Cloud Drive (formerly Highway 212) that frequently floods if the state raises 101.

Some highlights from a recent MnDOT/ Shakopee meeting Originally, the state thought it could keep the wider Highway 41 open during construction if raised the crossing there. But bridge engineers have now cast doubt on that possibility.

Earliest possible construction is fall 2013.

Lezlie Vermillion of Scott County suggested the project could be designed with more flexible standards should the state turn control of its section of the road over to Carver County. (This could also generate additional dollars for the project.)

While the state says it could take up to a year of complete closure to raise the Co. Rd. 101 crossing, it could be constructed through the dead of winter. In fact, the ideal construction for this type of a project would be from October to October.

Natural resource agencies, including the state Department of Natural Resources, often natural enemies of new bridges, actually support raising a river crossing here. Because a land bridge would be used where fill now exists, it would help flush out non-native material from the Minnesota River backwaters.

A 12-foot trail is included in the Co. Rd. 101 crossing design, an important link between Shakopee and Chanhassen.

Hennepin County will raise a section of

lion, who has a transportation background.

The Shakopee City Council has passed a resolution supporting the 101 option and is forming an organization with other towns to rally behind the project.

Like city councilors, businesses want the crossing built to four lanes off the bat, especially if the road has to be closed for the duration of construction.

“My concern is we’ll be back here in five years,” said Shakopee Sa les Manager Tom Frazier, if the road isn’t four lanes.

Sh a kop e e M ayor Joh n Schmitt told state transportation officials the city “would like to avoid a 12-month clo-

sure.”

Lynn Clarkowski from the M i n ne sot a D epa r t ment of T ranspor tation said i f the project is proposed now as four

lanes it could doom its chances.

This is due to the extra cost and permitting required since the crossing is in a wetlands area.

“The more you try to solve,

“…Best at CDT in Eleven Years!”

t he lon ger it t a ke s,” s a id Clarkowski.

Already, the state’s environmental review process is slated to take 12 to 18 months.

While state engineers were unwilling to definitely state that the bridge can at least be built to be easily expanded in the future, a former head state transportation official in attendance was confident it could be done. Furthermore, he was optimistic the construction window could shrink from the 12-month window given advances in technology and with creative bidding.

Sha kop ee leaders a l so brought up efforts in Carver County to improve Highway 101 on the other side of the river.

Clarkowski urged local officials to approach the projects separately and leave the connecting piece in the bluffs area (commonly called the Y) for the future. Including that section

in a 101 river crossing project could kill it for permitting purposes.

The final f lood mitigation study shows a $ 27.7 million estimate for raising the 101 crossing, more than is currently available from state bonding. Sen. Claire Robling, R-Shakopee, appeared confident that necessary funding could be found.

Because a long-span bridge would be used with deep pilings, more in-depth design analysis is needed to fi ne-tune cost projections. The estimate includes a 20-percent risk factor for this.

Raising awareness about breast cancer October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and southwestarea readers were asked to share their stories of hope and support.

The best of those submissions are printed here.

Although breast cancer death rates have been going down – probably as a result of early detection and better treatment, according to the American Cancer Society – breast cancer is still the second leading cause of cancer death in women, behind only lung cancer.

The chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer sometime during her life is a little less than 1 in 8, the Cancer Society estimates.

Right now there are more than 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. If you would like to know more about the disease, consult www.cancer.org.

The bravest person you could ever meet

Love, support helped in fight for her life Five years and a few dozen days ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Those words were shocking and for a moment, I considered my life being over, but just as fast as the thought came, it was gone.

I went into fight mode, the most aggressive fight of my nonconfrontational life. I won’t lie, it was hard and it was painful and there were times when I didn’t know how I would make it through the next treatment or surgery, but it was also one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I realized how strong I really am, how much I am loved and my relationship with God. And those are all incredible and enough. But another amazing and unexpected experience was the group of amazing women I met. We call ourselves creatively, Pink Ribbon Sisters. We were all considered young in breast cancer terms, had tried other types of support, and were all searching for a group that we felt could r el ate to ou r u n ique ne e d s.

One by one, through a friend of a friend, we formed a group and met once a month, usually with a bottle of wine and lots of snacks.

Yes, we talked about our cancer journey, but along the way, we formed an amazing bond of friendship and five years later, we still get together as often as possible and hardly talk about cancer.

When I look way into the future, I see a group of beautiful women who once survived cancer, but still get together, talk about life, love and friendship, drink some wine and have lots of snacks.

It was a beautiful day in May when I was on my way to work and said to myself, “Life is good.” I had dealt with some medical issues the last five years and had fi nally recovered.

But, on July 14, 2010, my life turned upside down and changed forever. I had breast cancer. I remember clearly thinking that I had spoken too soon and God had another plan for me.

My faith kept me in check, but in my private moments I couldn’t help but wonder if I’d be OK. After having surgery and meeting with my oncologist, I learned that chemotherapy would be my best option of the cancer not returning.

Chemo was rough on me, but as I lay in bed sick, I prayed that something good would come of this. I fi nished chemo at the end of November and radiation at the end of January 2011.

The cancer did change my life, and something good did come. I am a much stronger person than I ever was before and I have gained an unbelievable amount of trust in myself and my creator.

You can’t change circumstances, but you can change your attitude.

Our daughter, Diane’s 44th birthday was last week. However, breast cancer took her life Feb. 27, 2010.

Diane was the bravest person you could ever meet.

We b e l i e ve G o d g av e h e r extra faith and courage to cont i nu e t o c a r e for her husband and three teenage sons for the four years she struggled with her disease and the treatment of it. She lived long Diane enough to fulfi ll Hutchins her dream of seeing her oldest son enter college and pursue the love of music that they shared.

Breast cancer robbed our daughter of the joys of seeing her children grow up, have their own families, and becoming a grandmother.

Our daughter’s only goal in life was to be a loving mother. She had no interest in working outside the home; just taking kids back and forth to school and encouraging them to excel academically and participate in activities.

Now, her sons are trying to adjust to meeting the goals, jointly created with their mother, without her daily encouragement. We pray for the families that have gone through this same suffering and grief. Until the cure for breast cancer is found parents will continue to face the sadness of outliving our children.

Staying positive keeps Mom close

I had always gone in for my yearly mammogram. Two years ago, the radiologist recommended that I have an MRI due to my family history and the density, making it hard to see everything on a mammogram. I was in for a lump (cyst) in my right breast one month later. Everything was fi ne; it was a cyst.

Six months later, I discovered another lump. That same day, they did an MRI. I received a phone call from my doctor indicating that there was a suspicious mass in my right breast. They recommended an MRI biopsy. At 2 :30 p.m. the following day, I received the phone call letting me know that I had breast cancer. While this was not the news I wanted to receive, I felt blessed with the support of family and friends. They feel it was caught early, and I met with the surgeon right away. We decided on a lumpectomy and 33 treatments of radiation. We are blessed to have the technology that we do today. It

Big Al wears a pink bracelet. Not the typical accessory that adorns the wrist of a man’s man. Similar to the countless rubber bands on the market today, his is embossed in big burgundy letters with the name of my memoir, Beyond the Pink Moon.

I had them made as a party favor for a breast cancer luncheon and book signing last October. I didn’t notice when Big Al slipped his on until one evening at the dinner table when I glanced over and saw it overlapping the yellow Lance Armstrong bracelet he has worn for years. You see, Big Al is not a fad kind of guy.

Much like the wedding band he has never taken off since I placed it on his finger 26 years ago, when he chooses to wear something it holds great meaning for him.

Long after everyone, including me, removed their Beyond the Pink Moon bands, Big Al’s remains steadfast on his wrist. When I asked him one day why on earth he was still

I lost my mom to breast cancer two and a half years ago. Some days, it feels like just yesterday. There was (and is) so much more I wanted to share with her: My wedding day, cherry tomatoes from my garden, the birth of my fi rst child. I found myself holding my breath and feeling the ache in my heart. I had to make a conscious decision: Do I feel sad about tomorrow and mad about yesterday? Or do I live life in the present and pay attention to the good things happening right now?

I chose to be positive. I chose to live in the present. That does not mean I don’t miss my mom; there will never be a day when I don’t miss her. But with this attitude, I don’t have a chance to dwell on the things that could’ve been, and that is something I will never regret.

Sometimes, when I’m having a hard time staying positive, I pay more attention to my surroundings – the birds, the blooming flowers, the cool breeze – and I put my face to the sun and feel the warmth of my mom’s love shining down from Heaven, and then it feels like she never really left at all.

Burdens lifted by others’ TLC In February 2005, I discovered a small, hard lump on my breast.

I am a true procrastinator, why my husband compensates for by being diligent on my behalf. For this I am usually annoyed, but ultimately grateful. Within two weeks of discover, I was biopsied for cancer. I received my results – positive – and scheduled for a mastectomy.

I should have been terrified, but I believe shock and denial numbs some of the fear in a manner that allows us the ability to process an overwhelming amount of feelings and life-altering events such as chemotherapy, hair loss, reconstructive surgery, etc.

What I discovered in the pro-

cess, which I wasn’t expecting, was that all of those burdens could be lifted off me by the tender loving care I received from others. It’s what helps survivors to survive for however long we’re intended to, with renewed strength, stronger faith and restored appreciation for others and life itself.

It also creates a desire to pay it forward, to become kinder and empathetic toward others.

Everyone can make a difference, no matter how big or small.

We all have something to offer one another. Never underestimate the power of giving.

Vicky Gaughran Prior Lake

Five years ago, the Shakopee Valley News published a story about Jan Aument, who was undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer.

Aument’s son, then 11, and his friends surprised her by shaving their heads “so I wouldn’t have to be alone and feel sad anymore.” Aument, who has been released from her oncologist’s care and said “life is good,” gathered the boys for another photo. They are, in both photos, from left: Tanner Graff, Jan Aument, Alec Aument and Curtis Sager.

I unfortunately lost my mother to breast cancer 17 years ago. She was an incredible wife, mother, sister and daughter. Back 17 years ago, the knowledge and awareness was not as available as it is today, unfortunately. My mother, Patricia Anne Curielli, knew that she had a lump and was too scared and worried to have it checked out. She had five children, and my father traveled extensively, so she did not have it checked out for 18 months. When it was found, they immediately had her into surgery to have a double mastectomy.

Amazingly, it had already metastasized into her bones, unbeknownst to us. She was such a fighter that she had about four good years with us.

There were ups and downs along the way, but the journey was such a good fight.

My parents moved to Prior Lake when I was 19. My mother asked my father, John, to move to the lake. We had been a Burnsville family growing up. My father said to my mother, “Pat, this house is almost paid off, really? You want to move to the lake?”

Of course my father agreed, and they moved into the Harbor in 1994 where I lived for two years before I was married. I thank my mother for

bringing us to Prior Lake for many reasons. We have loved the people, the lake and St. Michael’s School, where our children go. There is not a day that goes by that I do not miss my mother, Patricia. But, I am so happy to have the memories and the vision she had for our family to be here in Prior Lake.

An even worse diagnosis than my own for cancer Sept. 24, 2010 changed my life and the lives of my family and friends forever. To me, the word CANCER always meant a death sentence because Mother passed away years ago from breast cancer. The good news was treatment had improved immensely so I started to look at this as just another illness that needed to be treated!

The hardest part was telling my kids as my dad, their grandfather, had just passed away the month before. The preliminary diagnosis for me was a biopsy; at that time I was told it was cancer. The lab results would be in on Monday. My husband Gary and I agreed to wait until Monday to tell the kids, hoping that the preliminary result would be wrong.

My daughter, the strong, takecontrol young lady she is, was making plans on how we should proceed with this. My son was more emotional and all he could say was, “I love you and you will get through this.”

Eight months after I was diagnosed with breast cancer my 27-year-old daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer. Anyone who is a mother knows this news is much harder than your own diagnosis.

life and care. My heart feels so warm to know there are such great people in my life and in this world!

Becky Gesswein Becky Gesswein, a Shakopee native, resides in Richfield. Her mother is Linda Reed Thompson.

Grateful to be here In December 2009, I turned 40 years old. I decided not to have a birthday party, as that spring I would be finishing my master’s degree and I thought a graduation party would be the ultimate payoff.

In January 2010, I went in for a routine physical, at which time a lump was found in my right breast. I was overwhelmed, scared and fearful I wouldn’t see my children grow up.

On March 3, 2010, I had a mastectomy; from May through August I did chemotherapy; September, I had reconstructive surgery; and just last May I had a hysterectomy.

I have three children and a wonderful husband, but all I could think of was that my life was over.

“Why me?” went through my head over and over. Now I am 21 months cancer-free, and my world seems to have fi nally gotten back to normal. I never did get my graduation party, which is an example that life is short, so take advantage of every day. People always say that, but do they live that motto? I do! I am so lucky to be able to tell my story, and I am thankful for every day.

Support has warmed this daughter’s heart Nearly every person you encounter has a story about breast cancer.

With three generations of breast cancer, my family is no exception.

With my grandmother diagnosed at age 41, mother diagnosed at age 57 and my diagnosis at age 27, we are not short on personal stories.

Unless you’ve gone through it yourself, you will never know how each day living with cancer feels.

Those closest to me — my boyfriend, mom and dad — were my primary support. They were the ones I would allow to listen to my cries when the glass was half-empty and the ones who made me realize how lucky I am and made that glass feel full again.

Not only was my family affected by my diagnosis, but friends and coworkers were too. People from every touch-point in my life were concerned with my well-being, continually telling me and my parents that I was top of mind in their prayers, thinking positively and always asking what they could do to help. The health care professionals have also made a personal investment in my

was growing, I fi nally decided to see my doctor. Within days, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and was beginning a journey that changed my life forever. Early detection saved my life!

Even though I had eight chemo treatments, six surgeries and 35 days of radiation, I had a positive experience with breast cancer. From the very beginning, I felt that God wanted me to educate others about what cancer can and cannot do to a family.

Having breast cancer has given me many, many opportunities to help other women who are traveling on their journey. One way I do that is with a breast cancer ministry at the Church of St. Michael, called the Pink Prayer Warriors.

Our ministry will help in any way we can to support the “warrior” during treatment, whether it’s rides to doctor appointments or sending them an encouraging card. We stay in touch with them all the way through their journey. But most of all, we offer prayers.

I strive each day to be a positive role model for those who have been touched by cancer.

EDEN PRAIRIE

“Downtown is important to us,” said City Administrator Matt Podhradsky. “We wou ld n’t i nvest i n it i f it wasn’t.”

TRAFFIC Several downtown businesses that have closed in recent years have pointed to the new freeway as the starting point for their troubles. In the summer of 2008, new Highway 212 opened two miles north of downtown and eventually, old 212 became a county road.

Though city officials were excited by all the potential of the new highway, many downtown business owners were worried.

Hayden was among them.

He said he saw his profits at Chaska Farm and Garden begin to drop after the opening of Highway 212.

“It was di f f icu lt ,” said Hayden. “Both the stock market crashed and the road moved.”

In an interview in January 2010, Jeremy Baker said his Brickyard Bikes business also suffered from the moving of the highway, noting that it took “a lot of traffic out of Chaska.”

Dave Blackowiak closed the 125-year-old Chaska Bakery less than a year after Highway 212 moved. “[Highway] 212 made an impact,” he said in a 20 0 9 interview. “When you have someone on a train like that, they don’t get off. They drove right past us.”

Not long after the bakery closed, Russ Pauly shuttered the doors at Pauly’s American Grill just to the east, citing a number of factors, including the Highway 212 move.

Cooper, too, felt the pain of losing a major highway in front of his business and it couldn’t have come at a worse time. He had just watched his

business take a dive after the Chaska Building Center closed and Ohnsorg Truck Body Manufacturing left town (taking their employees with them).

Then new Highway 212 opened and east-west traffic on old 212 dropped dramatically.

“The highway was a really big deal,” said Cooper.

“There’s no question there’s less traffic on the [former] 212 corridor,” said Podhradsky. “It does have some impact.”

MASTER PLAN But Podhradsky isn’t willing to heap all the blame on the highway’s move.

“It’s a mixture of a lot of things,” he said, noting that businesses have closed all over the southwest metro and all over Chaska including at Jonathan Square and the Chaska Commons.

“It’s not just a downtown phenomenon,” he said, but Podhradsky does acknowledge that downtown has probably been hit hardest.

“The retail market is difficult,” he said. “And the smaller businesses get hit the hardest – especially those without the chains behind them.”

Nearly two years ago, the city used $ 8 3,0 0 0 from its Downtown Store Front Loan program to fund the creation of a master plan for downtown.

A task force was assembled to work with consultant Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc. and the plan is now ready to move into the implementation stage.

“This is where the rubber hits the road,” Chaska Director of Planning and Development Kevin Ringwald told the newly formed Downtown Business Alliance at its fi rst public meeting last month.

The Downtown Business Alliance is focused on “supporting efforts that make downtown a more desirable place to shop and do business.”

Ringwald told the three dozen downtown business and building owners in attendance

that this was not a plan the city could implement alone.

“We need to work together,” he said.

The plan is a cumulative look at the downtown.

“It’s always been kind of a piece here and a piece here,” said Ringwald. “Now we’re zooming out.”

The master plan received a favorable reception from those in attendance at the meeting, including Les Dahlberg.

“We’re absolutely feeling p o sit ive,” s a id D a h lb er g , owner of Wally’s Sports and president of the Downtown Business Alliance. “The master plan is a process, but it’s a huge step forward.”

Three catalyst sites have been identified as the best redevelopment opportunities for downtown. They include the northwest corner of Highway 41 and County Road 61 (old 212) near Firemen’s Park, the block between Third and Fourth streets on the west side of Highway 41 (where the Post Office is currently located) and the riverfront area on the southeast side of Highway 41 and First Street.

And though not listed as an official catalyst site, the former Chaska Building Center location has emerged as viable acreage to create some much needed jobs downtown.

Chaska recently submitted the site as a possible location for Surly Brewing’s future brewery/restaurant/event center.

STREETS Podhradsky said the city will soon begin talking to developers about all of those sites, but the first tangible pieces of the master plan will likely be improvements to the downtown streets.

The council has committed millions of city dollars to the street reconstruction program so that over the next decade, all of the downtown streets will be rebuilt. Work begins in earnest next summer with

Second Street East and the plan is to not only rebuild the streets but to create a more pedestrian friendly environment.

Podhradsky believes that will make a big difference to peoples’ perceptions of the downtown area.

“The streets are not in good shape,” he said. “That adds to the feeling of downtown being rundown.”

Dahlberg believes that having a positive physical change to hold onto will help change the mood downtown. “It will get people excited,” he said.

In addition to street reconstruction, Podhradsky expects that the city will also look at parking downtown. “How do we create more off-street parking?”

Parking has been a major concern for downtown retailers and it came up again at the Downtown Business Alliance meeting, as did and concerns about traffic along Highway 41 downtown.

But if there is one bit of good news for existing downtown business owners to cling to, it is the possibility of “reclaiming Chestnut Street,” Podhradsky said.

Traffic fi gures along Highway 41 (Chestnut) downtown are down. They’re down enough to prompt the city to talk to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) about dropping plans to move to a five-lane, no parking section and instead moving back to a more pedestrian and business friendly three-lane section with parking on both sides of the street. Ringwald said city officials were slated to meet with MnDOT this week.

But that isn’t all business owners want the city to talk to MnDOT about. Cooper said the city needs to get better signage along Highway 212 to let freeway drivers know how to get to downtown.

“The signage stinks,” said Cooper. “You don’t even know there’s a business in Chaska.”

Podhradsky said that they’ve talked to MnDOT about signage, but have been told it’s an issue of equity between communities. Podhradsky isn’t giving up though. They’re trying to convince MnDOT officials that both Chaska and Carver’s downtown’s deserve signage because of their historic significance.

Cooper isn’t throwing in his hat either.

“We don’t intend on quitting,” said Cooper. “We don’t intend on giving up.”

Career-best not enough for a victory

Execution starts with the pass

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Sue Mu r phy h a s b e en searching for the right lineup throughout the season. The Chaska volleyball team has started a new lineup almost every time out. Thursday against Red Wing was no different.

The longtime Hawks coach may have found a rotation late in game one through game two that might stick.

Red Wing led 17-16 in game one, but all of a sudden Chaska was one game away from a sweep.

The Hawks executed to near perfection during a 34-11 run that saw Chaska win two sets en route to a 3-0 win over previously conference unbeaten Red Wing. The scores were 25-18, 25-10 and 25-16.

Senior Kelly Riesgraf had 12 kills and two aces, while senior Aimee Junget added 10 kills as Chaska won its third straight match.

“We’re definitely playing as a team more. And to their credit I’ve been changing the lineup to see what the best one is and they’ve worked hard and stayed together as a team,” Murphy said.

The coach said one of the areas of improvement has been passing and that was on display during the 34-11 stretch.

Chaska dominated game two after scoring nine of the final 10 points in game one.

Eleven straight serves from Erin Schindler pushed a 9-8 lead to 20-8 in game two.

The back row set up freshman Makayla Wenzel with

great passes and the fi rst-year varsity full-time setter did the same for the hitters. Wenzel has been the biggest difference of late for Chaska, playing well despite her young age.

“She’s taking balls that are being saved out of the net that a lot of kids wouldn’t go up and play. She’s not allowing her size or her youth to back her down,” said the coach on Wenzel, who had 35 set assists.

Aggressive serving, solid passing and a hitting attack that found the holes in the Wingers defense all night, Chaska finished off the match on a Schindler blast at 25-16 in game three.

“It’s about trusting each other and that’s what’s coming,” Murphy said. “It’s fun to see. And where they can go with this – we’re not even at the top yet.”

Lauren Nordvold also had 10 kills, while defensive leaders were Kylie Seiffert and Schindler, who had 14 and 10 digs, respectively.

Chaska, which also defeated Mankato West 3-1 on Tuesday, trails Chanhassen by one game in the Missota Conference title race. The two teams square off tonight on the Storm’s home floor.

“The girls know the scenario. We’ll be playing at their house so they’ll be gunning for us. We have to be ready for them,” Murphy said.

oey Duerr sprinted to the front of the pack, but the Chaska freshman found it tough to stay up there.

Duerr, ranked No. 2 in this week’s Class AA rankings, ran a personal-best time of 15:41.1, but was well off the pace of champion Josh Thorson of Wayzata in placing fourth at the 29th running of the Victoria Lions Cross Country Invitational Tuesday at the Chaska Par 30 Course.

The top-ranked Thorson ran the fastest time by any male high school runner in Minnesota this fall at 15:19.6. No. 3 Cole O’Brien of Burnsville and No. 8 Jan Ketterson of Bloomington Jefferson were second and third, respectively, with times of 15:22.5 and 15:30.6.

“I was pretty happy with the time. The course was pretty flat. It’s a (personal best) by a couple of seconds, so that’s always nice,” Duerr said. “I tried to stay connected with those guys around the backside of the course. I just kind of lost contact with them.”

The first two miles were run in 10 minutes by the lead pack – a time Duerr hasn’t had to jump out to in any of his four wins this season.

“The first two miles were pretty fast. I started to notice it, so I dropped back a bit hoping they would come back to me and they never did,” Duerr said.

With the lead three runners out ahead of the Hawks freshman, Duerr appreciated having fellow classmate Connor Olson of Wayzata right there with him.

“We were coming through the swampy area and Connor Olson came up to me and said, ‘Let’s go.’ That really helped me out. We got into this fi nal loop and I started to go a little faster and beat him for fourth,” Duerr said.

Chaska was 10th of 25 teams in the competition. Spencer Urick (47th, 17:09), Gavin Bjorklund (83rd, 17:59), Jake Connealy (97th, 18:07) and Nathan Hewitt (104th, 18:10) rounded out the Hawks’ team score of 335.

No. 1 Stillwater topped unranked Burnsville by a score of 82-110.

PACK RUNNING To be successful in meets, the Chaska girls cross country team knows it must get five runners to fi nish as close to each other as possible.

Without a low-scoring runner, the Hawks can’t afford any high scores.

“We’ve been working as a team to keep our gap times between the fi rst and fi fth runners as close as possible. We’ve been doing that each race and that gap is getting smaller and smaller,” Hawks junior Jenna Urick said. “That will help us out in big meets for conference and section. I’m excited for those races.”

PHOTOS BY ERIC KRAUSHAR

Chaska eighth-grader Spencer Urick led a large pack of runners midway through Tuesday’s race in Chaska. Urick placed 47th with a time of 17:09. rey (78th, 16:35) and Niina Stensrud (87th, 1641.5) also had topfive scores for Chaska, which was 12th with 329 points.

No. 2 Lakeville South won the meet by three points over Shakopee, 110-113.

IMPRESSIVE SHOWING

First-year Chaska varsity runner Anna Perrill placed 57th overall during the 29th running of the Victoria Lions Invitational Tuesday at the Par 30 course.

Urick had plenty to be excited about Tuesday – she had a personal-best time of 16:03.8 to place 46th. Like many of her teammates, fi nish times were right about where they were shooting for.

Urick said it came down to running her race and not what the rest of the field wanted to dictate.

“I started off at my pace. I always kept (teammate Anna Perrill) within a distance of me that I could see the Hawk logo on the back of her uniform. The last 400 meters I started to push up and pass people. I just kept on pushing until the end,” Urick said.

Perrill, on the other hand, didn’t run the race she wanted

to. The fi rst-year varsity runner, who has been the Hawks’ top runner in most races, said its part of the learning experience.

“I think I started out too fast and then I slowed down. I tried to stay up in the end, but I fell back,” she said.

“At the beginning (of the season) it was hard and I wasn’t doing very well in races,” Perrill added. “I would say about after my second race I started to pace myself better and know how to run a good race. I’m doing better than I thought I would.”

Perrill was second on the team with a time of 16:13.9 for 57th place. Claire Bulat (61st, 16:20), Katherine Low-

Jensen Orlow entered Tuesday’s meet hoping to run a good race and see what he could do against a field with nine of the top-12 ranked runners in Class AA. Call his ninth-place finish in a time of 16:03 a success.

“It’s nice for me to see this kind of competition. We don’t always get this chance to see these types of runners,” the Holy Family Catholic senior said. “Your adrenaline is pumping a bit more. It’s a little more exciting coming into a meet like this.”

Orlow, who placed seventh in Class A a year ago, ran with the leaders at fi rst.

“I sat with the leaders for the fi rst two miles. We ran those two miles under a five-minute pace. It was hot and it was tough to stay with the leaders. I was happy with my race. I would have liked to break 16 minutes, but it was good,” he said.

Holy Family, which moved into Class AA this season, was 14th overall with 401 points.

The Fire were third among eight teams competing from Section 2AA. “Hopefully this is a confidence booster for our team. We’ve been a little down and maybe this will encourage us to run well at sections,” Orlow said.

The Fire girls team was eighth with 233 points. Michaela Rasmussen, Maria Eastman and Molly Eastman placed 23rd through 25th with times between 15:37 and 15:41.

HAWKS ROUNDUP

Relay team sets a new pool record Chanhassen set a third pool record in a eight- day span Thursday, posting a time of 3:38.35 in the 400-yard freestyle relay in a 103-81 dual victory over Chaska.

The Storm relay team of Kaia Grobe, Shelby Holmes, Samantha Prasher and Kylie Dahlgren beat the old record of 3:43.50 by an Apple Valley team in 1998.

Grobe set new standards at the Chaska Middle School East pool in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle events Sept. 22 against Northfield.

A fourth record was nearly beat in the 200-yard freestyle relay as Chanhassen swam a time of 1:40.69 - 57 hundredths of a second away from Northfield’s time on Sept. 22.

The Storm got individual wins from Dahlgren in the 100 and 200 freestyle, Shelby Holmes in the 50 freestyle and Mariah Holmes in the 100 backstroke.

Chaska won five events, including a pair from Kirsten Augdahl, who swam first in the 200 individual medley and 100 butterfly. Stasi Zabel (diving), Caitlin Gilliand (500 freestyle) and Elizabeth Donnelly (100 breaststroke) also won events for the Hawks.

PLAYOFF VICTORY Megan Williams felt good about the Section 2AA playoff opening match with Hutchinson. But the Chaska girls tennis coach was still unsure how the youthful Hawks would play.

A good indication of how the team fared was in their choice of a restaurant after the match – the Hutchinson Dairy Queen.

Chaska secured the school’s fi rst playoff victory in a number of years Tuesday in a 4-3 win over the higher seeded Tigers.

The Hawks, ranked No. 5 in Section 2AA South, won the fi nal two matches in thrilling fashion – both in third sets.

Allie Reineke dispatched Hutchinson’s Sarah Jensen at No. 3 singles 3-6, 6-3, and 6-3 just as the same time Carly Lubansky and Kadie Engler fi nished off a 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 win at No. 3 doubles.

Lauren Willkom also won 6-4, 6-4 at No. 4 singles, while the duo of Rachel Werch and

Brianna Forbrook were victorious 6-4, 6-1 at No. 2 doubles.

Chaska will now face No. 1 seed Shakopee at 3:45 p.m. today on the road. The Sabers won the regular season meeting, 7-0.

“I think the girls will be ready. We weren’t blown out of the water last time. I thought we were fairly competitive.

We’ll give it our best shot,” Williams said.

Chaska fi nished the regular season with a pair of Missota Conference victories over Farmington 7-0 Sept. 27, while the Hawks made it two in a row on Sept. 29 with a 4-3 victory at Holy Angels.

Rivalry resumes on Friday

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Eight games are on the football schedule, but one date each year is circled on every calendar of Chaska and Chanhassen player.

That date is this Friday, in which the District 112 rivals will meet in a week six clash beginning at 5 p.m. at Storm Stadium.

The early start time is to accommodate the Yom Kippur holiday, which begins at sundown.

Both teams are off to 1-4 starts, but the two teams couldn’t be more than different.

Chanhassen lost its first three Missota contests by a combined seven points, including a last-second 17-15 defeat to conference leader Shakopee.

The Storm also had a gamewinning field goal sail wide in a 35-33 loss to undefeated Holy Angels.

Chanhassen picked up its fi rst win on the road at Northfield 28-7 last week.

Chaska’s lone win also came against Northfield in a 35-26 week two victory. Since then, the offense has been quiet, putting up 34 points in three losses – zero points, though, in the first half. The defense has allowed 31 points per game as well.

Chanhassen is seeking its fi rst win in the series, having lost 47-7 to Chaska in 2009 and 18-13 last season.

The Storm have a balanced

The Fire, though, rallied behind Tommy Hanson, who had two special teams’ returns for touchdowns, as Holy Family held on to win 41-33 to improve to 5-0 on the season.

Holy Family has won 21 straight home games.

Trailing by a point at the break, the Fire took the lead for good in the third quarter as Michael Roane scored from five yards and Connor Byrnes added a two-yard score as well.

Hanson, who returned a kickoff 83 yards in the second quarter, added a second score on a 33-yard punt return to give Holy Family a 41-21 lead.

Esko (3-2) scored twice in the fourth quarter but No. 2-ranked Holy Family held on for the eight-point victory.

Ryan Dahl and Adam Reznick each had rushing touchdowns in the fi rst quarter for the Fire as well.

Roane was 9-for-17 passing for 115 yards through the air, while also rushing for 55 yards. Senior Isaac Savaryn had a team-high 109 yards on just 10 carries after returning to the lineup following a twoweek absence.

Esko outgained the Fire 484 to 324 in total yards.

The junior signal caller also has five rushing scores.

OFFENSE STRUGGLES A week after giving up four big plays resulting in touchdowns and turning the ball over five times, Chaska improved slightly in both categories in an 18-6 Homecoming loss to Red Wing.

The Hawks got their lone score with 5:39 remaining in the third quarter on a Nick Jensen one-yard sneak to cut the lead to 18-6. An interception from Tanner Krause set up the score.

Chaska got inside the Wingers’ 25-yard line three other times, but came up short each time.

Twice in the fi nal four minutes of the fi rst half, the Hawks were stopped in the red zone.

A 23-yard field goal was short, while Jensen was intercepted

by Zach Garner in the end zone as the horn blew.

Chaska had 21 total yards of offense during their fi rst five drives.

BOYS SOCCER

A ‘disappointing’ scoreless draw

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Philip Cook wasn’t shy about his feelings. The Chaska senior defenseman, who wore a captain’s armband on his right sleeve, had one word for the Sept. 28 scoreless draw with District 112 rival Chanhassen.

“Disappointing.”

Chaska had the better play for much of the 90 minutes, but failed to get a shot past Storm goaltender Tyler Szorcsik, who made seven saves in the tie.

“The whole season we’ve been waiting for this game.

This was the year we thought we’d beat Chan and win the conference. So, yes, it’s disappointing,” Cook said.

“We wanted to win it, but we played a good game and we just couldn’t find the back of the net. The other goalie, Tyler, he played a great game,” Chaska senior goaltender Brendan Jackson said.

The Hawks were in position to win the rubber match in the third meeting between the two schools. Chanhassen won 1-0 in overtime in 2010, while Chaska was victorious 3-2 in 2009.

Chaska had three great opportunities during the final 19 minutes of regulation, but two shots were turned away from a diving Szorcsik and another attempt was high over the crossbar.

In four losses this season, Chanhassen either started slowly or cou ld n’t f i ni sh off a win. In week five, the Storm did neither, dominating Northfield from start to fi nish 28-7 for their fi rst win of the season.

Maverick Edmunds scored twice on the ground and Ryan McGuire added two touchdowns as well – one through the air and one on the ground – as Chanhassen jumped out to a 28-0 lead at halftime.

Nor t h f ield m a n a g e d a 15-yard score in the fourth quarter as Jacob Mathison hit Jacob Wise for a touchdown, but it was the lone blemish on the Storm defense’s record.

Eric Bigaouette had an interception for Chanhassen, while safety Mike Busch had a teamhigh nine tackles. Tyler Rust also added three of the team’s four sacks in the game.

McGuire completed 10-of-13 passes for 223 yards, while Mike Cerjance had a seasonhigh 72 yards on the ground.

Otto was McGuire’s favorite target, hauling in six catches for 177 yards.

The game had a scary moment as Northfield senior receiver Kohl DeGroot was taken off on a stretcher following a hard hit. The game was halted immediately once the Raider player did not get up. According to Northfield Patch, DeGroot was not seriously hurt.

Chanhassen hosts Chaska at 7 p.m. Friday.

it. In hindsight, we should have done a better job denying him the ball because what he’s good at is keeping possession of the ball when he gets it,” Cook said.

“He’s a physical player and it’s tough to get it from him.”

“It’s good,” said Jackson on the shutouts, “but hopefully the next couple of games we can get the offense going and get on a roll before playoffs.”

Cook also commented on the play of his goaltender, Jackson, who has taken over the starting goaltender role during the past three weeks, allowing sophomore Jorge Romero to move into the midfield.

“He’s really stepped up and done a great job in goal. We’re real happy with our goalie play,” said Cook.

Chaska senior defender Philip Cook (12) knocks the ball away from Chanhassen’s Joshi Graf during the Sept. 28 scoreless draw.

The Hawks outshot Chanhassen 7-5 for the game.

Senior Jason Karschnia gave the Storm the best chance in overtime in the 82nd minute as the Chanhassen captain weaved through the Hawks defense only to be denied by Jackson.

Every time Karschnia got free in the box, Jackson approached the forward to cut off the angle.

“If you sit back, he’s just going to put it in the corner,”

Jackson said. “With Karschnia, you have to go out and attack him and make him shoot it into you instead of the corner.”

Jackson was superb in the nets for Chaska, recording his third shutout in a seven-day stretch. The Hawks senior made five saves, which included a pair of shots in the box for Karschnia – the Storm’s leading scorer.

“I don’t think we did a good enough job pressing on him. We let him get the ball and dribble

BETTER STRETCH Chaska recorded its second victory of the season Sept. 27 2-0 over Red Wing. Beka Shuna scored in the third minute, whi le c apt ai n T roy Ewers headed a corner kick into the net with 17 minutes remaining in the contest for the two goals.

Red Wing had just five shots in the game – zero in the second half.

The Hawks also beat MoundWestonka 1-0 in a nonconference match Saturday, while Chaska topped Farmington 3-2 on Tuesday.

S out hwe st Ch r i st i a n clinched a share of the Minnesota Christian Athletic Association boys soccer title Sept. 24 with a 1-0 win at Trinity of River Ridge School in Mendota Heights.

It was the first loss in 10 games for the Tri Hawks.

The Stars fi nished the conference loop with a record of 5-1-1. Heritage Christian won on Sept. 27 to share the crown with Southwest Christian.

Nick Dirks scored the gamewinner over Trinity off a pass from Matt Chase to clinch the win. “ It d e f i n it e ly w a s t h e highlight of our season. We clinched the MCAA title for the fi rst time in the school’s history,” Stars coach Travis Armstrong said.

While Dirks, a senior had the offensive highlight, it was the defense that held the TriHawks scoreless that helped clinch the title.

“Our defense, especially Nick Lubben and Nathaniel Wisely, were outstanding in blanking a high-powered Trinity offense. Lastly, I would like to give props to our goalkeeper Brian Horner for turning out his best performance to date, making several key saves throughout the game,” Armstrong said.

Southwest Christian (6-4-3), the top seed in this week’s MCA A Tournament, hosts New Life Academy at 4 : 30 p.m. today in the semifi nals at Diethelm Park in Victoria.

The Stars defeated Mayer Lutheran 1-0 in the regularseason fi nale Monday.

The Stars girls soccer team (9-2-2), coming off a 5-0 win over Mayer Lutheran Monday, is the No. 2 seed in the MCAA Tournament. Southwest Christian also hosts New Life Academy at 2:45 p.m. today on the same field.

Thursday’s winners play in the championship matches on Saturday at Rich Valley Fields in Inver Grove Heights. The girls championship is set for noon with the boys title game at 2 p.m.

THE RIGHT DIRECTION The Prior Lake girls soccer team took advantage of the wind Sept. 29 in its nonconference game.

The Lakers held Holy Family scoreless in the fi rst half, playing into the 30-mph gusts, and then scored about 10 minutes into the second half with the wind at their back for a 1-0 victory.

Ninth-grader Kaija Ornes scored unassisted for the Lakers’ lone goal.

“It definitely was the highlight of our season. We clinched the MCAA title for the first time in the school’s history.”

Travis Armstrong Stars coach Holy Family Catholic has a record of 8-6-2 heading into the playoffs next week.

The Fire fi nished the regular season with victories over Rogers 5-2 and Waconia 7-0 on Monday.

The Fire boys soccer team tied Waconia 1-1 Monday to improve to 9-4-2 on the season heading into tonight’s regular-season fi nale against Orono at 5 p.m.

TEAM SEASON OVER Holy Family Catholic saw its team tennis season end with a 7-0 loss to third-seeded Chanhassen Tuesday.

The Fire, which finished the regular season with a 5-12 record, was seeded No. 6. It was the fi rst season in Class AA for Holy Family.

Isabel Tompkins had the most competitive match, a 6-4, 6-1 loss at No. 1 singles against the Storm’s Hayley Haakenstad.

Jess Menden and Meaghan Moakley also were defeated 6-3, 6-1 at No. 1 doubles, while Lexi Lynch fell 6-3, 6-0 to Ashley Kemp at No. 2 singles.

The individual portion of sections begins Oct. 15 in St. Peter.

ON A ROLL Southwest Christian generally starts home matches at 8 p.m. at Crown College in St. Bonafacius. On Sept. 27, the match with Class A No. 1-ranked Bethlehem Academy of Faribault began at 7 p.m.

Maybe the Stars volleyball team wasn’t used to the early start – they trailed the Cardinals 2-0 by scores of 25-17 and 25-16.

All of a sudden the clock hits 8 p.m. and Southwest Christian pulls off the upset with game scores of 25 -16, 25-23 and 15-13.

The Stars added a pair of 3-0 victories over West Lutheran and Maranatha Christian Academy on Sept. 29.

Yes, that’s right. Southwest Christian won in Plymouth in a 5 p.m. match, and then carpooled to Brooklyn Park for a second victory in one day.

GIRLS SOCCER

Storm win the rubber match

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Fatigue set in at the end of each half and Chanhassen capitalized with a goal in a 1-0 win over District 112 rival Chaska Sept. 28.

Storm senior Kelly Ryan tapped in a perfect pass from Erika Hokkenen with exactly 10 minutes remaining in the fi rst half for the lone score of the contest.

The two teams played backto-back games on back-to-back days last week. Both Hokkenen and senior Katherine Fischenich said the legs got tired pretty quick, especially in the second half.

In year No. 1, Chanhassen beat Chaska 1-0, while in year No. 2 Chaska returned the favor 1-0. So it was only fitting the third meeting would come down to one goal.

The Storm had the better chances in the fi rst half including a crossbar clang from Ryan in the 25th minute. In the 31st

minute, Chanhassen broke the tie on a run down the left side.

“Delanie (Brew) made a great pass up to me. On my summer team, we always played the through ball, so we did that and Kelly one-timed into the net,” Hokkenen said.

Hokkenen entered the game midway through the half as a reserve.

The Chanhassen defense did the rest, allowing just one shot – a Sarah Wagman attempt from 25 yards out in the 71st minute. The Storm outshot the Hawks 6-1 for the game.

Jordan Melby and Cassidy Brewin each played a half to earn the shutout for Chanhassen, which matched a schoolbest five wins with the victory.

The Chaska loss snapped a season-high two-game winning streak.

apart midway through the second half, but a tap-in goal from Brooke Moormeier turned the tide back to the Hawks in a 5-2 win Tuesday.

Moormeier beat the Wingers goaltender to a ball that sat on the goal line for a split second after Leah Tisdale’s loft shot hit the goalie’s hands, bounced off the crossbar and onto the turf.

The goal with 15:28 left in the second half halted a rally from the Wingers in the second half. Kaitlin Bischoff and Dani Welscher netted goals for Red Wing more than a minute apart earlier in the half.

Chaska jumped out to a 4-0 lead on goals by Jasmine Swan, Sydney McClure and Tisdale in the fi rst half, while Cassidy Brougham added a goal less

In search of the Spirit Bear Just getting to Shearwater, British Columbia, is an adventure. It is one of many small islands along the B.C. coast. Here is my itinerary: Two flights brought us to Bella Bella, B.C., a small island and population 1,800. The second of these f lights, which was the most hair-raising flight I have ever had in all my years of traveling, landed us in pouring rain and no visibility, where we deplaned and crammed into a van that drove us to the boat docks. In a hard driving rain we boarded a large boat, which navigated between the hundreds of islands to the small village of Shearwater, population 75.

The scary flight started out in sunshine and warm temperatures. Taking off was completely uneventful but it wasn’t too long before the 15 passenger twin engine prop was f lying into pea-soup — rain, wind and no visibility. I was sitting right behind the pilot so I was looking over his shoulder seeing if I could see anything. Pure white is all I could see out the windshield. Watching the GPS I could see we were rapidly approaching our destination but without the GPS there would be no way of knowing where we were. Keeping an eye on the altimeter, I was wondering when we were going to break out under the cloud deck and start seeing the ground during the approach. Figuring about a thousand feet would be standard altitude when we might be able to see something, I was completely disappointed when it was still pure white.

At 800 feet I could see nothing; 600 feet — nothing; at 400 feet the faint outline of some trees and a runway was right in front of us. In less than 10 seconds we were navigating

Don’t miss this RIVALRY WEEK It’s the second part of the rivalry week with Chanhassen with volleyball and football squaring off. The Storm have won meetings in girls tennis, girls swimming and diving and girls soccer between the two District 112 schools thus far this fall. The two schools tied in boys soccer.

the high winds and attempting to land. This was one of those times I wish I was seated in the back of the plane so I couldn’t see what was going on. I must admit this was one of the scariest landings I have ever experienced.

So you may be wondering what brings me to this remote part of Canada? I am in search of a white bear also known as the Spirit Bear. From this tiny village consisting of a dozen or so buildings, I am boarding a 71-foot sail boat that will sail northward up the inside passage in search of the Sprit Bear.

Only one problem, the weather radio aboard the sail boat is crackling a constant stream of warnings of hurricane force winds and seas of up to 6 meters, which is 18-20 foot. Onboard is the captain, a single mate / cook and a handful of photographers all are in search of the elusive white bear. Decisions need to be made about if we are to set sail or stay tied to the dock.

Our captain, who has been sailing these waters for nearly 30 years, gives us two choices.

Stay tied up for two days or try and beat the storm and get out into the channel and find a protective cove and set anchor and ride out the storm. Overwhelm-

This gray wolf was on the prowl for salmon in a remote part of British Columbia, Canada. ingly, we vote to stay put. Less than an hour later the captain fires up the engines and pushes off from the dock. Apparently things have changed and we are heading out.

The inside passage is truly an amazing place with forestcovered mountains descending right down to the water. The trees in this region are oldgrowth cedars and hemlocks with massive trunks. A half a day travel through the wilderness brings us to a small protective bay. Just minutes after setting anchor we spot a wolf on the shore near the boat. We jump into the zodiac and head out to see if we can get some

shots. For the next 20 minutes or so, we follow the wolf as she walks along the shore.

The wolf is calm and comfortable with us on the zodiac and is traveling with a purpose. Soon we find the purpose.

She slowly stalks up to a small creek and darts into the water grabbing a large salmon. She emerges from the water with her prize, water dripping from her fur, and a mouth full of fish. Yes, that is right, wolves are eating fish. These coastal wolves take advantage of the abundant fish and regularly go fishing. The sun has set and it’s starting to get dark so we turn the zodiac around and

head back to the sail boat. It has been a good — although rainy — start to this adventure. The days ahead will bring us to the real objective of this trip — the spirit bear. The spirit bear is an all-white black bear that only occurs in the temperate rainforest of British Columbia. We are keeping our fingers crossed that we will be lucky enough to see and photograph this truly rare bear. Until next time…

threatening communications and engaging in threatening communications.

“Because of Deputy Wagner’s outstanding skills and dedication she not only apprehended Hutterer but obtained a full confession from Hutterer about her crimes,” the release stated.

“This is a great example of federal and local law enforcement cooperating to bring a hardened and potentially dangerous criminal to justice,” said Sheriff Jim Olson, who thanked the FBI for recognizing Wagner.

Man pleads guilty to child porn charge On Sept. 21, in federal court, Wayne Lee Bourne, 66, of Chaska pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography.

Bourne, who was charged on Sept 6, 2011, entered his plea before United States District Court Judge John R. Tunheim.

According to a U.S. Attorney’s Office press release, in his plea agreement, Bourne admitted that on June 21, 2007, he possessed one or more matters, including a computer, that

contained visual depictions of minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct.

For his crime, Bourne faces a potential maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. Tunheim will determine his sentence at a future hearing, yet to be scheduled.

This case is the result of an investigation by the Minnesota Cyber Crimes Task Force, which is sponsored by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Secret Service. Other agencies that participated in the investigation included the Chaska Police Department and the FBI’s Birmingham, Alabama, and Philadelphia field offices.

The case is being prosecuted

by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kimberly A. Svendsen.

In Fiscal Year 2010, 2,235 defendants pleaded guilty to federa l chi ld por nog raphy charges, 2,222 of whom were sentenced to prison. In Fiscal Year 2009, 2,083 defendants were sentenced to prison on child pornography charges.

For more information about these efforts, visit the U.S. Department of Justice’s Project Safe Childhood website, at www. projectsafechildhood.gov.

‘Lockdown’ at theater On Thursday, Nov. 3, 3- 4 p.m., CLIMB Theater will be performing the play “Lockdown.”

The play deals with bullying incidents and shows how these incidents affect the bully, the target, and the bystanders.

The target audience for this performance are sixth- through eighth-grade students, but all are welcome.

“We hope that after viewing this performance kids will challenge themselves in the way that they view “bullying” and what they can do to stop it from happening to other kids,” states a press release from the Chaska Police Department, which is sponsoring the event with the Carver County Library and the Chaska Human Rights Commission.

The free play is at the Chaska Community Center theater, and will conclude in time for kids to take the regular (school) activity bus home, the release stated.

Manager (Published in the Chaska Herald on Thursday, October 6, 2011; No. 6557) DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED SCHOOL CAPITAL PROJECT Easter n Carver County Independent School District 112 is proposing a ten-year capital project levy beginning in Pay 2012. The proposed capital project levy would be for 10-years, for up to $1,983,804 each year. The proposed authorization will be used for the acquisition, installation and support of curriculum and improved technology and technology systems in the district and the purchase of instructional equipment.

If approved by voters on November 8, 2011, the annual levy amount in each of the 10 years will be computed by multiplying the rate of3.37% times the preceding year’s net tax capacity and would be authorized for ten years. The proposed capital project levy authorization will raise approximately $1,983,804 for the levy certified in 2012, the first year it is to be levied. The estimated total cost of the projects to be funded is $19,838,040.

Dr. Brenda Cassellius Commissioner September 16, 2011 (Published in the Chaska Herald on Thursday, October 6, 2011; No. 6558) CITY OF VICTORIA NOTICE OF HEARING ON PROPOSED ASSESSMENT FOR THE 2010 STREET, DRAINAGE, AND UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS Notice is hereby given that the City Council of Victoria will meet in the council chambers of the city hall at 6:30 p.m., or soon thereafter, on Monday, October 24, 2011, to consider, and possibly adopt, the proposed assessment against abutting property for the 2010 Street, Drainage, and Utility Improvements. Adoption by the council of the proposed assessment may occur at the hearing. The following are the areas proposed to be assessed: • Street reconstruction, total concrete curb and gutter placement, and storm sewer installation in the Auburn Neighborhood including Auburn Drive and Zinnia Lane, the amount to be specially assessed against your particular lot, piece, or parcel of land is $11,400.

• Extension of City Water service to the Auburn Neighborhood including Auburn Drive and Zinnia Lake, the amount to be specially assessed against your particular lot, piece or parcel of land is $6,600.

• The water core fee of $2,000 shall be specially assessed against 2425 Auburn Drive.

Said assessments are proposed to be payable in equal annual installments extending over a period of 15 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 5.61 percent per annum from the date of 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, 2011. 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 Clerk. No interest shall be charged if the entire assessment is paid 30 days from the adoption of this assessment. You may at any time thereafter, pay to the City Clerk 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 13 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 5.61 percent per year.

The proposed assessment roll is on file for public inspection at the city clerk’s office. The total amount of the proposed assessments is $360,000. The City contribution for the project is $751,000. Written or oral objections will be considered at the meeting. No appeal may be taken as to the amount of an assessment unless a written objection signed by the affected property owner is filed with the municipal clerk prior to the assessment 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 owners as it deems advisable.

An owner may appeal an assessment to district court pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.081 by serving notice of the appeal upon the Mayor or Clerk within 30 days after the adoption of the assessment and filing such notice with the district court within ten days after service upon the Mayor or Clerk.

The City Council is authorized in its discretion to defer the payment of an assessment for any homestead property owned by a person for whom it would be a hardship to make payment if the owner is 65 years of age or older and/or the owner is a person retired by virtue of a permanent and total disability or by a person who is a member of the Minnesota National

Guard or other military reserves who is ordered into active military service, as defined in section 190.05 subdivision 5b or 5c, as stated in the person’s military orders, for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments.

unless it had the dark edge to it.

Just think of Grieg, Munch and all the other Norwegian artists.

We can always blame the cold, dark, and solitary landscape of beautiful rocks in a country that is only 3 percent arable.

Q: You lived in Norway for a year a few years ago, what do you miss the most?

The least?

A: I miss many aspects of Norway, but perhaps mostly the light. When it isn’t raining, the sky has a purplish-red glow as though the sun is always threatening to set (or perhaps rise, but that would ruin the plot).

The fantastic health care coverage would be nice to have now considering the Norwegian government covered everything for the birth of our child born in Trondheim and gave us $5,000 to boot.

Four months ago we had our third child and my U.S. health insurance charged us a $5,000 deductible!

CHASKA LIBRARY CSI at the Library. Teens, come and meet a Carver County Crime Scene tech and learn some of the tools and techniques used by police. Families will have a chance to test some of these techniques, and learn how crime techs would take these skills and apply them to a crime from 1901. Presented by Heidi Gould and a Crime Scene Tech from Carver County. For ages 11 and up. Event takes place Saturday, Oct. 1 at 1:30 p.m. at the Chaska Library, Saturday, Oct. 15 at 2 p.m. at the Chanhassen Library.

The Chaska Friends of the Library hosts a Poetry Read Tuesday, Oct. 11 in the Fireplace Room. Minnesota Poet Laureate (and Chaska resident)

Joyce Sutphen will make a guest appearance. There will be live music from 5-6 p.m. and a poetry reading from 6-8 p.m.

Each person, age 12 and up, can read two poems of their choice and are encouraged to bring along a third selection, which may be read depending upon amount of participation. The poems can be classics, modern published work, or original entries. Coffee and hot cider will be served. The reading is free and open to the public.

Author Al Zdon speaks at 11 a.m., Oct. 15 at the Chaska Library. Zdon is author of “War Stories” and “War Stories II.” Zdon was born and raised in northeast Minneapolis. He served in the U.S. Navy, including two years aboard the aircraft carrier USS Constellation, and is a Vietnam veteran.

He has a bachelor’s degree in journalism and master’s degree in liberal studies, both from the University of Minnesota. He has been a newspaper editor for most of his professional career.

He edited the Hibbing Daily Tribune for 18 years, and for the past 15 years has been the editor of the Minnesota Legionnaire. He is also the editor of Allies, the journal of the Minnesota Military Historical Society.

Zdon has aut hored fou r books. The two most recent are “War Stories II,” a collection of stories about Minnesota veterans in the various wars, and “One Step Forward,” the Life of Ken Dahlberg. Another book, a biography of Navy pilot Norm Sterrie, is expected out in 2011.

He has served on the Minnesota State Board of Education, the University of Minnesota School of Journalism Alumni Board, and he presently serves on the Minnesota News Council.

He and his wife, Mary, have six children, and they reside in Mounds View.

Author Eric Dregni, author of “Vikings in the Attic: In Search of Nordic America,” gives a presentation at 1 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 8 at the Chanhassen Library.

What does it actually mean to grow up Scandinavian-American or to live with these Norwegians, Swedes, Finns, Danes, and Icelanders among us?

In “Vikings in the Attic,” Dregni tracks down and explores the significant — and quite often bizarre — historic sites, tales, and traditions of Scandinavia’s peculiar colony in the Midwest. It’s a legacy of the unique — collecting silver spoons, a suspicion of flashy clothing, shots of turpentine for the common cold, and a deep love of rhubarb pie — but also one of poor immigrants living in sod houses while their children attend college, the birth of the co-op movement, the Farmer-Labor party, and government agents spying on Scandinavian meetings hoping to nab a socialist or antiwar activist.

I asked Dregni a few questions.

Q: Who are your favorite Scandinavian authors? (I like Henning Mankell, Stieg Larsson, Lars Kepler, Karin Fossum, Per Pettersen, and of course Henrik Ibsen….)

A: I can’t keep track of all the new Scandinavian authors and this literary renaissance in Norden (I’m so behind that I still have Per Pettersen’s “Out Stealing Horses” on my to-read list).

I love to teach Ibsen because he can turn students’ worlds upside down and challenges their ideas of a supposed happy (Norwegian) home life.

I liked “Sophie’s World” by Jostein Gaarder and can’t wait to read it with my kids when they’re a bit older.

For “Vikings in the Attic,” I reread Ole Rolvaag’s “Giants in the Earth,” which is such a grim take about the hard life on the prairie that it’s almost comical at times.

Q: Why are these authors so dark and depressing?

A: I do admit they often work towards social change, like Ibsen, Larsson, and Mankell, and some are simply stunningly beautifully written like Pettersen.

It wouldn’t be Norwegian

For this column, Lindsay Marshall is the Carver County Historical Society host author.

Lindsay is well known to the Society. She interned with us a number of years ago, leaving us to pursue her master’s in Cultural Resource Management at St. Cloud State University.

Her thesis documented the log buildings in Carver County, and she has since been working on our photo collection.

Carver County has its share of ghost communities. This month she tracks down the lost but not forgotten community of Hazelton.

Over the river and through the woods, down the Luce Line Trail we go!

Now a state trail used among bicyclists, dog walkers, snowmobilers and skiers, the Luce Line trail stretches from Plymouth to Cosmos. That makes 63 miles of countryside. If you’re like me, you will be thankful to learn that there are many places throughout the trail where you can hop on. The trip from Watertown to Winsted is 10 miles, or 20 if you want to return to where you parked your car.

Wa l ki ng a long t he Luce Line between Watertown and Winsted, you might not realize that you had just walked through what was once the small community of Hazelton.

Hazelton was only about onehalf mile wide; small enough to be missed, but big enough to make a mark.

Among the businesses which once stood at Hazelton were a lumberyard, a feed mill/ elevator, an ice house, a general store, a creamery, a train station, a weigh scale and a loading dock. A sign provided by the Luce Line Trail Association with information gathered from interviews with local residents, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota T ranspor tation Museum, Minnesota Historical Society, and the Carver County Historical Society, stands at a small turnaround off Vega Avenue.

Today, the only evidence of these buildings is the remains of the foundations at your feet, and the stories of the community are merely memories.

Farmers were able to drop off their sweet corn at the store and elevator, which was fi rst operated by Paul Bennyhoff.

in the elevator until he built his own house.

The corn would then continue on to Watertown, where the canning factory was located. Trains hauled many things including mail, grain, live animals, milk, and lumber.

Farmers could also drive their horse-drawn wagons right up to the public scale, situated between two mounds of earth.

Nearby, a loading dock area was used to move items from the scale to the rail cars. In 1915 or 1916, shortly after the elevator was built, an ice house was constructed. Ice was cut and hauled from Lake Ida, a few miles away, and was stored on sawdust.

You could also purchase a train ticket at the store, which was a mile west of the train stop. At night, you had to buy your ticket on the train. In order to get the train to stop at night, you lit a rolled-up newspaper on fi re and flagged down the train. Others remember walking to town on the railroad tracks, and occasionally being offered a free ride on the train.

The Electric Short Line Railway Company began in 1908.

Land was purchased and construction began on a railroad which ran from Minneapolis, near the present Target Center, to Glenwood Junction, on the western side of the city. By 1914 the railroad tracks stretched from Minneapolis to Stubbs Bay on Lake Minnetonka. By the next year the railroad extended to Winsted, and by 1916 it arrived in Hutchinson.

In 1914, James and Anna Mu r phy sold t he sout her n 50-feet of their property to the Electric Short Line Railway Company for $25. According to records, James Murphy offered to furnish the property to the railroad if they named the train station after his adopted daughter, Hazel. With that, the name Hazelton was adopted.

Looking at a map from 1916, Hazelton occupied only a small portion of Section 10 in Hollywood Township. Only seven families lived in or next to Hazelton proper.

So, what happened to the community? Hazel Sherry, Ja m e s Mu r p hy ’s a d o p t e d daughter after whom the area was named, married Harold Murphy in September 1920.

Shortly afterward, Anna Murphy passed away. In 1923, Paul Bennyhoff closed the elevator and moved his fami ly and business (not the building) to New Germany. The elevator building was moved to Winsted in the late 1920s. With these families leaving the community lost nearly one-fourth of its population.

The train schedule from 1934 shows the train passing through Hazelton from Watertown on its way to Ocean and then Winsted. Neither Hazelton nor Ocean were listed as regular stops.

With increasing use of cars and trucks, the railroad indus-

try dwindled during the 1960s.

By 1970, the Luce Line was formally abandoned. Today, the railroad trusses are gone, and the trail has been covered in crushed limestone. While the buildings are long gone, remnants of the building are still visible. The foundation of the creamery lies to the west.

T wo wel ls and evidence of building foundations remain to the north and east of the trail.

As the summer nears an end, there’s still time to make a family field trip out to the Luce Line Trail. See what the beautiful countryside has to offer, while walking or riding through history.
