District officials believe a dedicated funding source for technology is critical to providing the best possible tools in the classroom.

About 4,20 0 computers can be found in 14 district buildings. The computers range in age from new to more than eight years old. “The industry standard is three to four years on a computer,” said District 112 Director of Technology Diane Kaiser. “We’ve been very creative in how to repurpose the older computers, but we really don’t have a budget to replace them.”

Local exercise visionary dies NordicTrack inventor lived, breathed skiing

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

SUBMITTED PHOTOS

Edward Pauls invented the NordicTrack in the mid-1970s to allow for year-round crosscountry ski training.

Terri Pauls was celebrating her 37th birthday with friends in Anchorage when she received a gift in the mail from her 70-year-old father.

Opening the package, she found a pogo stick and a letter. “I can do it … and you can do it, too,” her dad wrote.

Edward Pauls signed off with words Terri will never forget, “Keep the kid in you alive. Never stop goofing off.”

Ed passed away Oct. 9. He was 80 years old. A celebration of his life will be held Sunday, Nov. 6 at the

University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.

While Terri knew Ed simply as dad, many more will recognize him as the ma n who created the exercise/ski machine phenomenon NordicTrack.

Edward E d st a r t e d t he Pauls business in his Victoria garage, but ultimately chose Chaska as t he company’s headquarters. “He created it only for his own purpose,” said Terri, of the NordicTrack. “He never intended to sell it.”

But sell it, he did. And before long, NordicTrack was a household name that few who lived through the 1980s will soon forget.

SOLUTION Skiing made up a large part of Ed’s life, and he wasn’t particular about what form it took. Be it alpine, crosscountry or waterskiing, Ed did it all.

And as much as he gave to skiing, it gave right back to him, not only leading him toward his career, but also to his wife.

Ed met Florence Melhuse at the Twin Cities’ Ullr Ski Club. They married in 1959. After spending a year in Europe, the couple returned to the United States and settled down on

When the Chaska Land Trust expanded to become the Carver County Land Trust in 2009, it was supposed to be a move that would promote affordable housing and homeownership throughout the county. And while that is still the mission of the program, progress has been slow.

“The transition has been longer than we anticipated,” said Brenda Lano, supervisor of housing prog rams for the Carver County Community Development Agency, which oversees the community land trust.

When the program expanded in 2009, there were 20 properties in the land trust – a far cry from the 200 to 300 former land trust president Bob Roepke was quoted as saying would be needed for a self-sustaining program.

Housing stock was amassed through ag reements with de velopers to keep a percentage of their projects affordable. The land trust controls housing costs by owning the actual land a home sits on. The homeowners, while owning the structure on the property, sign 99-year leases for the land, thus becoming members of the trust.

Applicants for the land trust generally make between 50 and 80 percent of the median income, thus providing homeownership opportunities in a community that some would not otherwise be able to live in.

District: Levy would ease budget crunch istrict 112 is near the front of the pack when it comes to school taxes.

The owner of a $240,000 home in District 112 pays $1,442 a year, while an owner in Eden Prairie pays $1,041; Minnetonka, $1,026; Edina, $965.

However, much of that cost is due to living in a fast growing district that built a handful of schools over a short period of time.

Those schools added up. The owner of that $240,000 home pays about $704 every year for debt service alone – the lion’s share for new schools. Another $507 is spent for levies to operate new or expanded schools.

The new schools’ price tag is a point school officials have stressed while promoting a Nov. 8 levy asking for about $1.9 million a year over the next 10 years to fund technology (which would add another $84 a year in taxes to the owner of a $240,000 home).

“Most of the other districts have not built a new school in 20 years,” said District 112 Superintendent Jim Bauck. “In addition, homeowners in this district absorb more of the tax burden here because the commercial/industrial base is not as large compared to other districts.”

When it comes to actual general fund expenses, per pupil, according to District 112 records, the district is below average. In 2010, the district spent $9,431 per student, compared with a state average of $10,251 or a sevencounty metro average of $10,647.

PAULS continued from page 1

Zumbra Lake in Victoria where they would raise two children – Terri and Glenn.

Ed, a mechanical engineer, got a job with Rosemount Engineering. There, he invented the Rosemount ski boot and binding system. On his own, he later created the Flipski outrigger for adaptive skiing. He and his wife spent much of their time teaching the adaptive ski program at Welch Village near Red Wing.

“He was deeply enmeshed in the field of skiing,” said Terri.

But it was the annual Victoria Jonathan Chaska crosscountry ski race that would lead him to invent the NordicTrack. “He would be training for the race year after year,” explained Terri.

Short winter days and a fulltime job limited the daylight available for training, though, and often Ed would find himself training on the streets of his neighborhood in the dark.

“He thought there must be a better way,” said Terri. “He wanted to create something to train indoors.”

And so, the idea for the NordicTrack was born. Ed’s fi rst prototype included real wooden skis and a pillow from the living room sofa, Terri said.

PHENOMENON After being convinced by former Olympian and ski importer Norm Oakvik to sell his creation, Ed began his business in the family’s garage.

“It was very much a family business,” said Terri. Florence became the business manager

PHONE: (952) 345-6574

while both Terri and Glenn manned the phones.

Terri also star ted using the NordicTrack for her own training. Her father’s invention worked well for her – helping her fi nish as the top female in the Victoria Jonathan Chaska race at just 16 years old. She would go on to compete nationally and would work her way up to rank ninth in the country. She even represented the United States in the World University Games in Bulgaria.

As word of the invention spread and demand increased, the family business needed more space than their garage could offer, so the company moved to Jonathan Industrial Park in Chaska.

“I was working the fi rst day our ad appeared in the Wall Street Journal,” recalled Terri.

“The phones rang off the hook that day.”

Ed had found a market niche not only with cross-country enthusiasts, but with upper income, educated types that understood the importance of a cardiovascular workout.

“I think it was 1984 or 1985 when we got a sense people recognized it,” said Terri. It was an amazing feat for a product not found in stores, but only through direct mail.

As it g rew, NordicTrack became a major employer in Chaska – employing around 400 people (including a few of Terri’s high school classmates) at its Peavey Road location.

In 1986, the family opted to sell the company to CML Group in order to help it grow. Ed and Florence would stay on until 1990 serving as part of the NordicTrack transition team.

According to a 1995 Associated Press article, sales continued to grow from $20 million in sales in 1987, to $456 million in 1994.

However things fell apart, and in 1998 the CML Group filed for bankruptcy, hundreds of local employees lost their jobs, and the Chaska facility closed. The NordicTrack brand is now owned by Icon Health & Fitness.

FULL LIFE Ed and Florence spent their retirement years out west. In 1998, they moved to Utah to enjoy powder skiing and canyon country.

They later moved to Montrose, Colo., adding to an active roster that included canoeing, sailing, scuba diving, snowmobiling, dirt biking and piloting.

Even a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease couldn’t slow Ed down. Terri noted that she had skied with her father as late as 2010. “He had a full and fun life,” said Terri.

And he passed that playful spirit along to his family. “I still get out on my skis every winter day,” said Terri. “I still bounce on my pogo stick and I still jump on the trampoline.”

County service centers could fill possible EP void

BY RICHARD CRAWFORD editor@chanvillager.com

Carver County Service Center transactions

Even with a temporary state government shutdown this year, use of the Chanhassen Service Center has continued to grow and Chaska Service Center numbers have remained relatively stable, according to Carver County figures.

The service centers, which provide driver’s license renewals and tabs, DNR licenses and other documentation, could also get a boost in customer traffic in the coming year if Hennepin County shuts down its Eden Prairie license location.

Hennepin County is considering closing its Eden Prairie Center site next year as part of a cost-cutting plan. Hennepin County is expected to make a decision in December when it sets it 2010 property tax levy.

According to Randy Johnson, who represents Eden Prairie on the Hennepin County Board, there has been a decline in transactions and revenue at the county’s seven ser vice centers.

That hasn’t been the case in

Carver County, which added the Chanhassen Service Center, located on 7808 Kerber Boulevard in downtown Chanhassen in March 20 09. The Chanhassen facility, which cost about $3 million, was built to help ease the burden at the county’s original license center in Chaska and to provide better service to taxpayers, according to Laurie Engelen, taxpayer services manager

with Carver County.

Although overall use at the counties two service center was behind expectations initially, transactions at the Chanhassen site have grown steadily and will exceed last year’s total this month.

The county, however, would be eager to handle additional customers from Eden Prairie or elsewhere and generate additional revenue at the site,

Engelen said.

“We absolutely would welcome increased traffic,” Engelen said.

The county receives a flat fee for transactions at the site.

The fees vary depending on the type of transaction. The fee for license tabs is $6, passports are $25 and other fees range from $1.50 to $10.

time drivers licenses and passports at the same location. The Chaska Service Center, which shares space with the state’s driving exam station, offers fi rst-time licenses. The Chanhassen site offers passports.

In part because of the passport revenue, the Chanhassen Service Center has been generating more than $6,000 per month in revenue, according to Mark Lundgren, director

of property records and taxpayer services. Meanwhile, the Chaska site has been losing about $4,000 per month, Lundgren said.

Lundgren said the county would welcome additional customers that could come with the closing of the Eden Prairie site. He said the Chanhassen and Chaska centers could likely accommodate more customers without additional staffi ng.

Memorial for state’s fallen firefighters Firefighters raise funds for more prominent memorial

BY KARLA WENNERSTROM editor@edenprairienews.com

In Minnesota, 193 fi refighters have died in the line of duty.

Minnesota’s fi refighters are raising funds to move a memorial to those 193 out of the baggage claim at the MinneapolisSt. Paul International Airport and to a more fitting location, the State Capitol.

Eden P rai rie Fi re Chief George Esbensen is president of the Minnesota Fire Service Foundation, the group leading the charge to move the memorial.

Esbensen said a statue was commissioned in the 1980s with Minneapolis firefighter Jeff Bartholomew and his daughter serving as models.

The statue was dedicated and put in the upper level of the airport, in a wide open spot where people could gather,

Esbensen said.

However, due to security concerns it is no longer as easy to visit the airport. In addition, the memorial has been “shuffled around.”

“Having a big, large gathering space wasn’t really possible anymore,” Esbensen said.

“Now it’s down by door No. 6 at the baggage claim area, right next to a child play area.”

The state Fire Service Foundation has been working to move the memorial for years.

An effort several years ago was not successful.

The question is, “whether or not that is a proper place to recognize those that have made the ultimate sacrifice,” Esbensen said.

NAMES ON A WALL Today the Minnesota Fire Service Foundation has a plan.

The fi rst step was to secure Leo A. Daly architects to de-

sign a home for the sculpture pro bono.

The architectural fi rm managed the team of architects and engineers of the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., Esbensen said.

“This isn’t just ‘George Esbensen’s pretty good architectural fi rm,” he said. “This is the real deal.”

The plan is for a “larger, more accessible and interactive” memorial on the State Capitol grounds.

The names of the fallen fi refighters will be inscribed on columns. A group is working to ensure that there aren’t names missing or inconsistencies, Esbensen said.

“There’s this grid of years and decades so that people can search for their fellow fi refighter or their loved one,” Esbensen said.

The name of each fi refighter will face the compass direction

of their department, Esbensen said.

“I also like the fact that there’s a wall aspect to the design and that every fi re department in the state will have their name on this wall.”

All 791 fi re departments in the state will be listed.

“Part of our mission here was to have people that visit the memorial understand more about the fire service,” he said.

The foundation is planning to raise $ 600,000 by Dec. 31, 2011. They hope to complete the memorial by National Fallen Firefi ghters Memorial Weekend in October 2012, according to a news release.

Firefighters are already pitching in. Each of Minnesota’s 20,000 firefighters has been asked to donate. The effort has already raised over $150,000 with commitments for much more.

For example, the Chanhassen

The proposed memorial, designed by Leo A. Daly architects, would have a site at the State Capitol.

How to help The Fire Service Foundation is hoping to raise $600,000 by Dec. 31.

Contributions are tax deductible. You can also find more information on Facebook: Facebook.com/MinnesotaFireServiceFoundation.

Fire Department has been seeking donations outside Byerly’s.

“We really want the fi re service to take the lead,” Esbensen said.

“A lot of people in the general public who have very positive feelings about the fi re service want to get involved and help us reach our goal,” he said.

EDITORIAL

District hasn’t made its case On Nov. 8, District 112 will conduct a referendum asking voters for about $2 million annually during the next 10 years toward technology throughout all the district schools.

We don’t support this referendum.

It’s the fi rst referendum in many years that the newspaper hasn’t supported. Referendums in recent history funded new schools. The district was growing fast and it needed a place to teach all the new students.

Home values were skyrocketing, and with them the local tax base. This led to relatively easy endorsements.

This referendum is a bit fuzzier.

First off, the timing couldn’t be worse, with employment numbers and property values in the gutter.

And while the referendum pales in comparison to other referendums – the owner of a $300,000 priced home would pay an additional $108 each year, compared with an additional $400 for Chanhassen High School in 2006 – money is a lot scarcer now.

Taxes, per dollar value of property, have increased. And previous referendums, albeit necessary, have already left us with one of the largest school tax bills in the metro.

The district recently cut its budget to allow for some breathing room and to avoid the annual game of will-they-or-won’t-they-fund-us with the Minnesota Legislature. We hope it continues along this austere path especially as the recession continues.

Like many local families are doing, the school should push off all but the essentials until the economy shows more signs of recovery.

ESSENTIALS UNCLEAR That brings us to the second largest problem with this referendum – it’s unclear what is essential. The district has not made an adequate case for increasing technology funding.

Yes, we’re aware technology will be integral to teaching students in the years ahead, but so are many other capital and personnel needs.

Our school taxes are high (for all the new schools), however the district’s per pupil expense is lower

JOIN THE CHAT HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE TECH LEVY? POST YOUR THOUGHTS AT

www.chaskaherald.com

than the state and seven-county average. This could indicate strain on the school’s general budget that may necessitate some sort of new revenue.

However, the district needs to do a better job of educating taxpayers before setting up a perpetual a la carte funding source for technology.

District officials have touted successful technology referendums at other schools. However, they haven’t shown how more technology funding has increased student performance at these schools.

The district’s 10-year technology plan calls for $28 million in funding.

This is $8 million more than what the referendum would fi nance. The rest would need to go unfunded, or come from the general budget.

Instead of developing a referendum based on actual needs, the amount the referendum asks for was developed based on a survey gauging what people would pay. That gives the unfortunate perception of a money grab, instead of a methodological approach to technology priorities.

In addition to a backward plan, it’s also unclear what specifically would be funded during the next 10 years.

That’s due, in part, to the district’s expressed desire to stay nimble in the fast-changing world of technology.

While it may be wise to stay nimble, that also requires a greater leap of faith from the taxpayer.

If the district is asking for money in a terrible economy, it needs do a better job of establishing technology needs and how the investment will positively affect student performance.

School officials should sharpen their pencils and put forth a clearer technology plan based on priorities and objectives rather than on what the property taxpayer can bear.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

STARWATCH

The October Victoria Lions Invitational cross country meet had 1,632 athletes participating.

Sky is worth the trip outside

THANK YOU

BY DEANE MORRISON

November may be nippy, but both morning and evening skies have shows worth a trip outside.

Early risers can watch Mars as it moves in on Regulus, the brightest star in Leo, and makes its closest approach on the 11th. The period of best visibility begins about 1 a.m., when reddish Mars and white Regulus appear not far above the eastern horizon, at the base of the “Sickle” of stars marking Leo’s head.

Mars doesn’t stick around, though. The Red Planet moves ever eastward and ends the month below the lion’s belly.

Also toward the end of November, you may catch Saturn rising in the east next to another star: Spica, representing an ear of grain held

by Virgo, the virgin. The pair rises in the predawn hours, so look around 90 minutes before sunrise.

Try comparing the colors of Saturn and Spica with those of Mars and Regulus, which will be to their upper right. Can you contrast the white of the stars with the red of Mars and the soft gold of Saturn?

For evening viewers, Jupiter still reigns. The king of planets is now up in the east at sunset, but it is being carried, along with the stars, toward the west as a result of Earth’s movement around the sun. It’s still very bright and unmistakable, sandwiched between the Pleiades star cluster to the east and the Great Square of Pegasus to the west.

This is a good month to see the constellation Andromeda, represented by a string of stars

anchored to the northeastern corner of the Great Square. Above the middle of this string, look for a fuzzy oval; this is the great Andromeda galaxy, the nearest major galaxy to our Milky Way. Astronomers first realized that this smudge in space was actually a galaxy in 1923, when the legendary Edwin Hubble, using a 100-inch telescope at Mt. Wilson in California, obtained data showing Andromeda to be an “island universe” just like the Milky Way. Today, images from the Hubble Space Telescope are revealing details of its structure in all their glory. Andromeda may be relatively close, but even so we’re seeing the galaxy as it was 2.5 million years ago, because that’s how long it takes light from Andromeda to reach us.

November’s full moon shines the night of the 10th, when it follows Jupiter across the night sky.

Algonquin tribes called this the beaver moon, as now is the season when the industrious rodents go full tilt preparing their lodges for winter. Also, this was the time to lay in a supply of beaver pelts.

Between the 16th and the 18th, the moon will have waned significantly, but will still be bright enough to interfere with the annual Leonid meteor shower.

Per pupil funding less than average In last week’s letter to the editor (“Not getting whole story”), John Brunette challenges the district to explain why other school districts seem to spend less per pupil than Eastern Carver County Schools, yet still outspend us in the area of technology.

information. For example, its enrollment figure for District 112 is 7,804.

Our enrollment hasn’t been that low since 2003. None of our audited information conforms to the information on this site. So we are skeptical of the overall accuracy of any of its data.

Why does it appear that other districts spend less per pupil than Eastern Carver County? We are paying for schools; they are not. When adding up all the expenses in a district’s yearly budget it appears we’re spending more because we are spending more. They paid for their buildings decades ago and no longer have large bonds to repay.

Education is community cornerstone

In a comparison of what is spent from the general fund per pupil, our last audited financial report showed District 112 spending $9,402 per student.

That’s the fund that pays for everything associated with learning – teachers, counselors, principals, staff development, paper, etc. That number is lower than both the seven county metro average and state average for expense per pupil.

You can verify this information at the Minnesota Department of Education’s website. Look for ‘School District Financial Profi les.’

Finally, it is inaccurate to say District 112 spends nothing on technology. Mr. Brunette’s source may have been our own information pieces which show District 112 has $0 in technology levies compared to other districts.

We have spent money each year from the capital fund to pay for a portion of the technology needs in our classrooms.

This year we are spending approximately $ 9 8 5,0 0 0 on technology from the capital fund. The difference between our school district and others listed on the information post card is that we have not had a levy with money set aside strictly for technology. Other districts do.

We invite anyone interested in more information on our technology referendum to visit our website at www.district112. org.

district’s actions around the new high school and the growing feeling of creating a school of the haves and a school of the have-nots.

We may have some of those feelings, but District 112 can not allow that to happen. They are accountable to ensure that will not happen.

If I don’t want this haves vs. have-not scenario to occur, I need to ensure I am equipping all learners to receive the best and most forward-thinking education possible without breaking our bank accounts to do so.

I believe the numbers represent a solid investment request. These referendums have been important in our past and are important to our future and it is vital we continue to provide our community support to them.

We are a better, stronger and more competitive community when our education system is strong.

Education is a cornerstone on which quality communities get built. Our education system is strong and we must continue to ensure it remains strong as we continue to face the challenges and opportunities ahead. Get out and vote on Nov. 8 and support the future of our communities!

space and the voters responded favorably.

It has been our community commitment to do everything possible to give our children, the students of the district, the best shot possible at an excellent education and we are all very proud of this commitment by our community.

Some of us former school board members attended one of the sessions offered by the school district where we were given information and explanation on the need for technology dollars. We asked questions and received satisfactory answers.

We agree that the purpose is sound and that both the students and the taxpayers will receive real value from it.

The passage of this referendum will continue to show our school children that our community values excellence in education and that we are willing to provide them the necessary tools for them to be successful learners.

Better schools mean higher home values The cost of a failed referendum has long-term economic consequences for all homeowners, whether or not they have children. Better schools mean higher home values and, although all tax initiatives are painful, successful referenda help secure the long-term values of properties.

T his is not just wish fu l thinking. T hree respected economists (from George Washington University; University of California, Berkeley; and University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School of Business) have studied the impact of passing a referendum on home values (“The Value of School Facilities: Evidence from a Dynamic Regression Discontinuity Design,” by Cellini, Ferreira and Rothstein; Quarterly Journal of Economics, February 2010.)

The authors concluded that “passing a referendum causes immediate, sizable increases in home prices. How sizable?

The research showed that buyers are willing to pay “$1.50

Recently Jim Weygand former Carver mayor wrote a column that addressed and explained the Community Foundation for Carver County (“Foundation serves needs of Carver County,” Sept. 8).

In its most simple form, this foundation is trying to emulate the Minneapolis Foundation and provide the option to Carver County residents to keep their money at home working on local projects.

The challenge is always to make sure there is a clear understanding by current and past residents of our county that this foundation exists and provides an option to many larger foundations.

The availability of this community foundation allows donors to identify an area of interest and priority to financially support and let the Community Foundation manage to their wishes. The foundation does this via grants that support a variety of efforts and therefore have the most impact possible.

A series of countywide community dialogues also address the foundation, with the first one held in September in Chaska. We had a very good turnout for the first session and had some great conversation.

Another dialogue is scheduled for a location in the western part of the county after the first of the year. (More information is forthcoming.) Please consider attending the next discussion to help identify key issues facing our county. This will help to identify an expanded agenda for the CFCC. These dialogues will represent an organizational

or more for each $1 of facility spending.” This means that, every time a house is sold after the initial approval of the referendum, the price is roughly $1.50 higher per dollar increase in the higher tax bill resulting from the referendum than it would have been without the referendum. If your taxes increase by $500, for instance, the value of your home increases by $750.

The interest that parents in District 112 have in passing a referendum is obvious. The interest of those who do not have children, or those who feel their kids have gone through the system and are therefore not invested in the success of the referendum, is more subtle, but equally compelling.

Technology over teachers?

School District 112 has proposed a $ 2 million per year technology referendum for the next 10 years. The promotional material lists other districts with similar programs and extols t he vi r tues of technology during the learning process. Items such as Smart Boards, iPads, and collaborative classrooms are given as examples of how students will benefit. What is not given is any study that shows a link between technology and improved learning.

The New York Times has been running a series of articles on technology in the classroom since September. In general, schools that have spent many millions of dollars on the latest technology have shown no noticeable increase in test scores. In some cases budget cuts have increased class sizes but the technology spending continues.

Federal reviews of speciali zed educ ationa l sof t wa re found the programs had “no discernible effects.” The series examined the Waldor f School, which does not allow computer technology, and yet the executives and employees from some of America’s largest tech companies such as Google, eBay, and Apple send

Some significant efforts and important actions are being planned by this alliance including its support of the vision defined for our downtown.

The partnerships that are being created by this group bring a continued focus on the health of our downtown and the building of our community.

The next five to 10 years will prove to be an exciting time for this alliance and its partnership with the city.

their children there. It appears these technology leaders do not believe technology is essential to learning.

I am a software development manager for a Fortune 500 technology company. Like most parents I want the best education for my children. Technology sounds like a smart investment, but nearly all available data shows there is no reason to believe it has any meaningful impact on learning. My sons have access to far more technology in their classrooms than I ever did growing up in the 1980s, yet every study reveals a continual decline in our nation’s academic performance despite ever increasing access to technology.

It would be bad enough if this were merely about spending money on something that has no proven efficacy. The larger danger is this could force the district to choose technology over teachers.

Unfortunately our schools, our state government, and our families are all strapped for funds. It is very possible that due to state budget shortfalls in the coming years, state aid to school districts will be cut. If that happens the school district must cut programs and teachers or ask voters for another tax increase. If this referendum passes, voters may be unwilling to vote for another one so quickly.

A wise choice in that circumstance might be to allocate some of the technology funds towards retaining teachers.

However, t his referendu m takes budgetary control of these funds out of the board’s hands and mandates by law that the funds be spent only on technology, regardless of other needs that may be more important. That may put the school district in the position of cutting teachers while buying new iPads, and that’s a bad trade-off.

When I was a student, nothing impacted me like a dedicated, engaged teacher. I sought out teachers who would challenge me because I knew they would broaden my learning experience. I work with computers every day. I have never been challenged or taught by one.

District 112 has set a referendum for Nov. 8 to ask for community support to provide increased technology to their students and their teachers.

Today we are a long way behind other districts in what is being invested in technology to prepare students for their future. Our community has been a strong supporter over the years of the school district and their needs.

In this day and age, where technology has a growing impact on our lives and is playing a bigger and bigger role in all that we do, we must continue to allow our education system to be strong and equip our teaching staff with the technology needed to make a difference in the lives of our kids and prepare them for a positive future.

More and more curriculum will be delivered via technology, and we must ensure we also have the capability to apply the learning it can deliver and again ensure our kids are well prepared for the future.

Today, our school district has zero dollars allocated via levy to technology and that is where we are lagging greatly, and will more and more as the years go by if we make no investment to address this need.

As our community ages, which is happening rapidly, that portion of our population, over the years, has been a strong supporter of strong education along with school age families. Their (our) support must continue to be strong in supporting a new generation.

Our support to this referendum also represents a commitment to the long-term health and vitality of our community by demonstrating our continuing commitment to high quality education and to the future of today’s children.

Fielding a few funding questions

LEVY continued from page 1

That innovation has come during the past few years as the district overhauled its secondary programs and has begun to contemplate elementary program changes, placing a premium on technology expenses.

“For example, it is well known our major expense is teachers,” said District 112 Director of Finance and Operations DeeDee Kahring. “Assigning current funding to technology could result in cutting back on teachers, which would defeat the purpose of adding technology anyway.”

BY CHUCK FRIEDBAUER friedchu@yahoo.com

The Chaska Herald asked District 112 Director of Finance and Operations DeeDee Kahring a few questions pertaining to the upcoming referendum.

Q: Why is the Nov. 8 referendum for technology funding called a capital project referendum?

A: The school district does not have the authority to levy for technology without a vote. A capital project referendum is a voter approved referendum. If approved by the voters, all proceeds for the capital project referendum must deposited in a separate fund and used for the purposes described in the ballot language.

WHY $1.9 MILLION? The amount of the referendum was based on several factors.

First, the district has developed a 10-year technology plan expected to cost $28 million. The levy would provide approximately $19.8 million of that amount and was developed after examining results from a community survey this past summer.

“The survey indicated the community would support a modest increase in property taxes for technology funding,” said Bauck. “And that prompted the board to approve the referendum request, realizing these are not the best economic times, but that there is never a good time to increase [taxes].”

Second, the district has funded technology in past years by analyzing the need for technology versus other requirements. That money has come from the general operating capital fund, which was about $2 million last year and covers day-to-day capital needs, such as desks for classrooms and roof repairs.

“The more we spend on technology or text books, there will be little left over for our buildings,” Kahring said.

Last year, the district spent $980,500 on technology, most of which was spent on license, service and maintenance agreements.

“And we plan to continue to use $ 900,000 to $1 million of that fund on existing infrastructure, such as license fees, wiring and general computer replacements,” said Bauck.

Those competing interests must be taken into account when any new funding becomes available, said Kahring. For example, during the budgeting process this past summer, district officials planned for a zero increase in state funding. In fact, the general funding formula was increased by $50 per pupil. Kahring said that equates to approximately $500,000, which is needed in a large number of areas

“The general fund covers items like expenses such as salaries and benefits, supplies, utilities and communications, all of which are in competition for the $50 increase,” she said.

District officials said those general fund expenses have been lower than the seven county-metro area since at least 2000. In 2010, the District 112 general fund expenses were $ 9,431 per pupil, compared to $10,251 for the state average and $10,647 for the sevencounty metro area.

LEVY AUTHORIZATION Simply increasing the budget to pay for technology is not an option, said Kahring.

“We don’t have the authority to just increase the budget, because almost everything is prescribed to us through state aid, which is based on various formulas and our student enrollment,” she said.

So the district turned to the capital

project referendum to help fund its technology plan, which is allowed by state law. Minnesota statute 123B.63 states, “a district may seek voter approval to create a capital project referendum as a separate account in its general fund ... .” Several of the permitted uses in that statute are related to technology equipment and computers.

And there is precedent for capital project referendums in surrounding school districts. While the District 112 proposal would total about $220 per pupil, Minnetonka gets $648 per pupil, Wayzata receives $ 539 and Edina, while only currently receiving $120, has a similar referendum proposal to increase the figure to $549 per pupil.

“Realistically, we want to give kids the skills to survive once they graduate high school,” said Kahring. “And while we know parents want to keep their kids in their community, they are pretty mobile and will take them where they can get access to the tools to get them those skills.”

Q: District 112 completed its last budgeting process prior to k now i ng t he state educat ion funding levels and assumed zero increase. What is the status of state funding for schools over the next two years?

A: The general education funding formula was increased for fiscal year 2012 by $ 50 per pupil and by an additional $50 per pupil in fiscal year 2013.

In addition to the general education funding increase, the district received one-time compensatory aid in fiscal year 2013 for $1.049 million and $520,000 in literacy aid. Compensatory aid must be spent on remediation and we are assuming that there will be directives on how the literacy funds must be spent.

Q: Can the increase be used for technology funding?

A: The increases in the general funding formula could be used for any purpose and could be used in place of the capital projects levy, however, the district would fall short on its funding for regular classroom instruction.

The General Fund supports instruction, operations, special education, instructional support, transportation, buildings and grounds and administration. Within these

budget areas, expenses are paid for items such as salaries and benefits, supplies, utilities, communications, services, textbooks, training, etc., all of which are in competition for the $ 50 increase. This increase is roughly $500,000 to $550,000, which is less than a 1 percent increase on the funding formula.

Just like in our personal lives, most of a school district’s expenses increase due to inflation, increased service fees, fuel surcharges and the like.

The general education funding formula has not been increased since fi scal year 2009 (which was also $ 50). Between 2003 and 2011, Minnesota’s basic per pupil funding formula increased from $4,601 to $ 5,124, an increase of only 11.4 percent.

During that same time period, inf lation grew by 20.6 percent as measured by the Consumer Price Index. This time period is used for comparison due to the fact that major education funding and property tax reforms took effect in 2003.

The reforms included a state takeover of the general education levy and a commitment by the state to assume the primary responsibility for funding K-12 education.

Q: Over the next 10 years, authority to tax based on referendums held in 2003 and 2007 will expire if they are not renewed.

Are you able to forecast the impact on the school district portion of tax holder property taxes as a result? Why or why not?

A: It is impossible to predict what will occur with the referendum and market values of properties within our school district boundaries.

Additionally, I am unable to predict what the legislature will change in school fi nance related to the portion of school funding supported by state aid versus local tax levies.

The number of students in our school district is another variable in the calculation of local taxes.

Changes in the demographics of our school district will also impact the tax levy.

NEWS BRIEFS

Legislation costs county $1.4 million A legislative change that was expected to cost Carver County around $1 million will actually cost closer to $1.4 million, County Administrator David Hemze said Tuesday.

As part of a state budget fi x, lawmakers revamped the Market Value Homestead Credit Program, which will cost Carver County about $1.4 million in state aid.

The County Board has been planning a 2012 budget that will keep the county portion of property taxes flat for a home valued at $267,800.

Hemze said the county is planning to shift additional state funds that were earmarked for capital projects to make up for the loss of Market Value Homestead Credit aid.

Carver County is one of the few counties in the metro that is trying to absorb the loss of state funding without passing additional tax burden on to residents, Hemze said.

Hemze will present his fi nal budget and levy recommendations to the County Board next week.

The County Board plans to conduct a public hearing on the 2012 budget on Dec. 1. The fi nal 2012 levy and budget is scheduled for adoption on Dec. 13.

Ray Charles’ daughter at Love INC fundraiser Sheila Raye Charles wi l l b e t h e k e ynote speaker at a banquet to raise funds and awareness for Love INC of Eastern Carver County on F riday, Nov. Sheila Raye 4 . T he Hop e Charles Banquet will be held at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska.

Sheila Raye, the daughter of legendary singer Ray Charles, will share her dramatic life story showing the power of love and hope, and how her life was transformed.

While her father stood at the height of his career, adored worldwide, Sheila was living the darkest hour of her life, headed to federal prison. According to a Love INC press release, Sheila will share how the love of friends and renewed hope in God allowed her to overcome challenges and experience personal renewal.

The banquet will also include the upbeat, jazzy, funky music of Carol Zimmerman, a well-known singer/guitarist in coffee houses and jazz clubs in the Twin Cities, and occasional musician at Westwood Community Church in Chanhassen.

Dave Clutter, drive-time host on KTIS radio will be the MC. The evening begins at 6 p.m. with a reception and silent auction followed by the dinner and program.

A significant portion of the banquet expenses are being sponsored by three community partners: main sponsor St. Francis Regional Medical Center, as well as Community Bank, and Century Link. This community support allows more of the proceeds from the banquet to go directly to help those in need in Eastern Carver County through the various programs of Love INC. Tickets for the Hope Banquet cost $100 per person, and can be purchased at www.loveincecc. org or (952) 448-2508. Approximately 70 percent of the ticket price can be considered a taxdeductible donation to Love INC. Love INC of Eastern Carver County has been working in the communities of Chaska, Chanhassen, Victoria, Carver, and East Union since 2007 to provide immediate help as well as long-term support to families and individuals who are going through a difficult time. There are currently 22 partner churches representing 13 denominations.

The group has mobilized hundreds of volunteers who are involved in numerous helping ministries. They range from offering furniture, shampoo, blankets, and bikes to offering classes on money management and helping prepare for a job interview.

Love INC of ECC is a local affi liate of the national organization, Love In the Name of Christ. There are over 150 local Love INC affiliates nationwide with over 9,000 partner churches.

Carver County barns calendar available

A Halloween Candy Buy Back event

Waconia photographer and artist Ruth Tremblay recently released her “2012 Barns of Carver County” calendar.

The new calendar features a dozen barns from throughout the county, photographed in various seasons. It is the fourth such calendar Tremblay has done in as many years.

Tremblay said she loves the stories and the history behind each barn. After four years, she has yet to tire of the project.

“When I run out of [barns] that are still standing, I’ll paint the ones that aren’t,” she said.

Calendars cost $15 each with $5 of each sale going towards charity. This year, Tremblay has chosen local food shelves and Mary’s Wish to benefit from calendar sales. Last year, Tremblay was able to donate $2,000 to four local food shelves.

The 2012 Barns of Carver County calendar will be sold at al l K leinBank locations in Carver County as well as Mackethun’s, Frost ‘N Steam and Who’s on First in Waconia and the Watertown Pharmacy in Watertown.

on Tuesday, November 1 from 4-7 PM in the main entrance lobby at St. Francis.

Children will be paid $1 per pound of candy and for every pound of candy bought back, St. Francis will donate $2 to the Jordan Area Food Shelf.

The candy will be sent to troops overseas.

Dialogue discusses voter attitude trends The next First Tuesday Dialogue, “Polarization & Civility: A Pollster’s Look at Recent Trends” is 7-8:30 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 1, Professional pollster Bill Morris, looks at what the tracking polls show about trends in voter attitudes in Minnesota.

Former U.S. Congressman and Minnesota Appeals Court judge David Minge joins the dialogue.

The location of the dialogue is the Shepherd of the Hill Presbyterian Church, at the southeast corner Engler and Highway 41 in Chaska.

Final burst of color and then the leaves – like our daylight – fade

M

ost autumn leaves have either faded or fallen. Minnesota tourism officials, in fact, issued their final fall-color report on Oct. 20.

But we still have the memories, thanks in part to readers who responded to this newspaper’s call for outstanding fall foliage photos.

As you can see, the landscape’s peak of color was short, but brilliant. As that American romantic poet and journalist William Cullen Bryant put it: “Autumn, the year’s last, loveliest smile.”

We thank readers for all of the contributions we received. And to those viewing these images of fall’s last great burst of color we say, “Enjoy!”

PROVERB OF THE MONTH: From ghoulies to ghosties and long-leggety beasties And things that go bump in the night, Good Lord, deliver us!

—Anonymous

Daily decisions to defeat depression

Raising the roof to save energy

God noticed the sad face of Cain and asked him, “Why are you so resentful and crestfallen?” (Genesis 4: 6). In other words, God was curious why Cain wasn’t happy, why Cain wasn’t looking great. It is obvious that the mind of God is that we live happily, recalling the words of St. Paul, “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.” Instead of rejoicing, if we hold on to our sadness, the result will be nothing but ‘out of the frying pan, into the fi re.’

In his book, “Use Your Head: The Inside Track On The Way We Think,” Daniel Freeman writes, “People with depression feel down pretty much all the time. Life becomes an ordeal, devoid of interest or pleasure. Energy drains from the body. Even the simplest task appears impossible to complete. Sleep and appetite disrupted. Negative thoughts fi ll the mind: ‘we are worthless; the world is horrible; the future is unremittingly bleak.’

And behavior changes accordingly: people with depression often withdraw into themselves, avoiding social contact and generally doing as little as possible. They might be irritable and agitated and noticeably sluggish in their thought, speech or movements. Tears and long bouts of anguished brooding are typical.” Since it is undeviating that depression/sadness is for real, each of us are called to do something.

To help those who suffer from depression — recalling the words of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, “Thoughtfulness is the beginning of great sanctity.”

Experts often associate depression to a chemical imbalance in one’s biological system.

It might be legitimate, as science backs up their claim, but hopefully there are many helping hands reaching out to those with depression (family, friends, medical professionals, Church communities, etc.)

It is also true that all of us, without exception, suffer from some sort of depression, on a regular basis. In my limited vocabulary I would describe it as “minor depression.” This could be caused by many factors: Unwilling or unable to connect with one’s origin who is God, choosing to be hurt, inability to minimize other’s weakness and maximize other’s goodness, or whatever.

The accentuating point is that all of us, without exception, undergo minor depression whether we admit it or not. We can fight it by making room for God, saints, and spirituality in our daily lives. Like Jesus we should be able to say, “Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit,” (Luke 23:46) remembering that constant surrendering of ourselves to God will help us to fight depression in our daily lives.

The late Pope John Paul II in the year 2003 invited us to cultivate a solid spiritual life in dealing with depression: “The spread of depressive states has become disturbing. They reveal human, psychological and spiritual frailties which, at least in part, are induced by society... It is necessary to propose new ways so that each person may build his or her own personality by cultivating spiritual life, the foundation of a mature existence.”

Almost eight years ago, when

It started with an ice dam, and water leaking into Shepherd of the Hill Presbyterian Church.

But what started as a mission to keep the church dry, evolved into a mission espousing the church’s “green” responsibility.

About a mont h ago, t he church removed existing shingles and insulation and added “structural insulated panels” to its roof.

The skintight foam plastic panels are about 7-1/2 inches wide, sandwiched between boards. The panels are energy efficient, and touted as saving up to 50 percent of the energy to heat and cool a building.

Tim Morris of Progressive Panel Builders, LLC, in New Richmond, Wis., installed the panels, which were supplied by Extreme Panel Systems, Inc., in Cottonwood, Minn.

The price tag wasn’t cheap – coming in at about $79,000, said the Rev. Gordon Stewart, pastor or Shepherd of the Hill Presbyterian Church. But the church’s 80 members stepped up to the plate, “and we raised that amount of money on the barrelhead,” Stewart said.

The previous sanctuary roof had minimal insulation. Once the church began considering insulating its sanctuary roof, it soon decided to reinsulated the rest of the church – which had become a patchwork of insulation jobs over the years.

“It’s like opening a big can of worms,” said Will Niskanen, with the church’s Buildings and Grounds Committee.

The new roof fell in line with the church’s commitment to sustainable practices, Stewart said, “which means practices that are energy efficient, that don’t waste energy that recycle – all of the things that we can do, that are within our reach to do, to be responsible stewards of the earth itself,” Stewart said.

“What we’ve come to realize is that we’ve got to live collaboratively and in friendship with the earth itself, and not treat the earth as a garbage dump,” Stewart said. “It really is a matter of … searching for and fi nding ways we exercise

JOSEPH GUEST COMMENTARY

I was still a student preparing for my priesthood, I interacted closely with the students from Bethlehem Academy in Faribault, Minn., who pointed out to me how winter could be a time of depression for many people.

It was a not serious scientific research, rather, those young minds told me as it is, as they felt, without polishing it. As we approach the cold winter, as much as the snow might be a blessing, it could also be a moment of depression in our lives.

One of the ways to approximate this is “being aggressive.” It does not mean, being mean or hard on ourselves, rather, making a conscious decision, “I will not let depression ruin my day.”

Remembering, misery loves company, we have to be wise to seek the right company — company of good human beings who love life, who want to celebrate it vs. the company of the couch and the remote control — the choice is in our hands.

Mother Teresa often used to say, “A smiling person is the sunshine in the eyes of God.” If we choose to be aggressive in fighting depression/sadness we will be able to contaminate ourselves and others with our healthy smile; if we choose to maximize or concentrate on our sadness, we are capable also of harming ourselves and others. As the saying goes “God cannot help, those who cannot help themselves.” God will sit by our side, will lift our spirits, if we aggressively look for him in our times of depression.

Joseph is a pastor at St. Nicholas Catholic Church in Carver.

The Shepherd of the Hill Presbyterian Church started as an offshoot of the Carver Presbyterian Church in Carver.

According to “The Carver Story” by Lucie Hartley, average attendance at the Carver church had fallen to about 24. It was decided to close the Carver church and relocate in Chaska. The final service at the Carver church was held on Sept. 24, 1967.

WHAT CAN BE DONE Groundbreaking began for Shepherd of the Hill Presbyterian Church just over 40 years ago – on Sept. 26, 1971. Since then, the town has grown up around Shepherd of the Hill.

Its prominent location, at the southeast corner Highway 41 and Engler Boulevard offers a “great chance to show what can be done” when it comes to green initiatives said Niskanen.

The Buildings and Grounds Comittee also includes Florence Cohen, Clyde Hazelton and Bill Tisel. Niskanen’s parents, Ted and Dana, were founding members of the Chaska church, and Ted also helped with the roof panel project.

Niskanen, a product designer who lives in Eden Prairie with his wife Theresa, recently became actively involved in the church again. “Here it is, 40 years later, and I’m getting back involved as sort of a grown-up,” Niskanen said. He has lent his expertise toward the roof project, as well as envisioning other future envi-

Presbyterian Church services began in Chaska on Oct. 1, 1967 at Chaska High School. Conrad “Bud” Goodwin, who moved to Chaska from Pennsylvania in August 1967, was the new church’s first pastor. “The United Presbyterian Church of Chaska,” later renamed “Shepherd of the Hill Presbyterian Church,” held its charter membership service on Palm Sunday 1968.

The church held a groundbreaking for a new Chaska church on Sept. 26, 1971 on 7 acres of land that had been purchased for a $21,000 in 1966.

According to the Sun newspaper, the estimated cost for the block and stone building ranged between $80,000 and $90,000, with a seating capacity of 180.

The church began holding services in the new church in April 1972 and the building was officially dedicated in fall 1972.

ronmentally sensitive projects for the church.

“I’m helping it resemble the church I’d like to be part of,” Niskanen said.

GREEN INITIATIVES There are other Shepherd of the Hill green initiatives on the horizon. Next, the church is installing two new furnaces – “the highest energy efficiency rated,” Stewart noted. And the church has already installed

some LED lighting.

There are other, larger, environmentally sensitive projects the church is considering, when funding is available.

Niskanen has made a model of the church and grounds showing some of the proposed improvements, which include solar panels on the roof, a rain garden and permeable pavement. “The ability to do these other projects will take time and it will take growth,” Stewart said.

TIGHT FUNDING

ATTRACTIVE

With the economic downturn, new housing developments have become few and far between. So the land trust has switched its current focus from new construction to take advantage of picking up bank-owned properties and short sales. They’ve targeted areas where the specific properties were “driving down prices by sitting there.”

“We’ve been successful in adding six properties,” said Lano.

A mong t hose a re tow nhomes, single family homes and a twinhome.

Lano said they’ve acquired two Chaska properties, three Waconia ones and a new construction townhouse in Victoria.

With those, the land trust has helped a variety of new residents settle in Carver County. Lano said they’ve found homes for a family of six with a stay-athome mom and working dad; a young couple, including a school teacher; a single mom with three pre-teens; and a single man in his 50s who had spent the last several years caring for his elderly mother. “It’s very diverse,” said Lano.

Federal grants have fueled most of the land trust acquisitions, but those too, are few and far between. “Funding is very tight at the moment,” said Lano. “Everybody’s hurting.”

“We’re currently not looking at any new properties,” she added, explaining that they had used up their exist-

Lano said that despite some rock bottom home prices, the land trust continues to draw interest from those looking to buy their fi rst home.

“With the difficulty in acquiring a mortgage and not having the money to put down, the land trust is still attractive,” she said.

Lano also said that the partnership between the homeowner and the land trust provides an extra layer of security. “You’ve got someone to fall back on,” she said.

Partnerships haven’t been able to keep all of their land trust homeowners in their homes, however.

“We’ve had to do a few short sales,” said Lano. “Most have been due to job loss.”

But for the most part, the land trust has been successful in getting residents to stick around. “The land trust has had some turnover,” said Lano. “But we haven’t seen significant numbers.”

Interest remains high in the land trust, with more applicants than grant dollars available. And although they’re not able to add oodles of homes to the trust, staff continues to work to stabilize and expand the program.

Chaska has been temporarily taken off the list of possible home cities for applicants, in order to encourage potential land trust homeowners to consider other Carver County cities.

NEWS BRIEFS

Prescribed burns this fall along 101 A prescribed burn crew from the Minnesota Department of Transportation Metro District will conduct a burn along Highway 101 at the Riley Creek Wetland between Lake Susan and Rice Marsh Lake near Chanhassen, Chaska and Eden Prairie when conditions are favorable this fall.

Prescribed burns are scheduled from mid-October to mid-December during optimal weather conditions to ensure effectiveness and safety.

Members of the crew are trained to monitor the burns that are carried out to improve the health and promote growth of native prairie vegetation and control weeds and brush.

Traffic should not be affected and Highway 101 will remain open during the burns. If smoke drifts near the highway, motorists are urged to slow down and drive with caution.

Inconsistency plagues Hawks on playoff eve

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Hawks’ season comes to a close

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

South St. Paul returned almost every starter from a year ago, in which the Packers reached the Section 3AAAA fi nals with a 54-6 victory over Chaska.

This time around, the score was just as lopsided.

All-state running back Sam Sura rushed for four touchdowns in the fi rst quarter as No. 9-ranked South St. Paul rolled to a 62-6 victory over the Hawks Tuesday in the playoff opener.

Sura scored from six yards out three times and added a 14-yard rush to give the Packers a 28-0 lead.

A 21-yard pass from Harrison Rund to Sam Doody made it 35-0 after one stanza.

Rushing touchdowns from Rund (25 yards), Jake Hill (two) and Kevin Ward (11) as well as one-yard fumble recovery from Eric Hagert put the Packers up 62- 0 at halftime.

Carter Severinson scored the lone touchdown for Chaska (1-8) for the second straight game. The senior tailback hit paydirt from five yards out in

the third quarter.

South St. Paul faces No. 2 seed Holy Angels, while St. Thomas Academy takes on Simley in the section semifinals on Saturday.

TOO MUCH STARS Qu a r terback S a m Kei s scored three first-quarter rushing touchdowns as Holy Angels secured second place in the Missota Conference and the No. 2 seed in Section 3AAAA with a 41-7 win over Chaska Oct. 19 in Richfield.

The Hawks finished tied for last in the Missota Conference at 1-6 along with Northfield.

Keis rushed for scores of 54, 53 and six yards for the 20-0 lead in the fi rst quarter.

Chaska got its lone touchdown of the game on a oneyard run by Severinson, but Holy Angels put away the game with a pair of secondquarter scores.

Wi l l Pagel scored from five yards out, while Keis hit Jordan Dembley from 18 yards out for the 34-7 halftime lead.

The Stars also got a sevenyard run from Mikias Alipate in the third quarter for the fi nal difference.

ue Mu r phy s a id at times Saturday the Chaska defense was “the best we’ve played all season.”

T he Hawks head volleyball coach also said the team in general “fell apart” at other times.

“We’re continuing to improve as the season progresses, but we’re still not consistent enough and that really hurts us at times,” Murphy said.

Chaska went 2-2 at the home invitational Oct. 22 to finish 10th out of 12 teams.

“W e p l a y e d a w e s o m e against Cretin and Mayer, but we fell apart in the rest.

It’s a bit frustrating, but at times we had four freshmen, an eighth-grader and a junior or senior on the court. What can you expect,” the Hawks coach said.

Youth hasn’t been the only reason for inconsistency – the team has been without sophomore Allie Duenow and recently senior captain Aimee Junget has been limited due to tendinitis, while freshman Sarah Kelly missed the end-ofthe-season tournament.

The Hawks started the day with a 2-1 win over CretinDerham Hall, who received votes in the latest Class AAA poll. The scores were 21-25, 25-21 and 16-14.

“I loved the way we ended t he C r et i n m at ch . We le d 14 -13 and we were ser vi ng and we were called for a rotation error. I didn’t agree with the call, but I told the girls, ‘Now is the time to put the pedal down.’ The next point, Erin Schindler put the ball down in a girl’s chest and it knocked her on her butt. We end up winning the fi nal two points and the match,” Murphy said.

With a chance to win Pool C, the Hawks fell to Class A No. 2-ranked Wabasha-Kellogg in straight sets.

The loss moved Chaska into the bronze bracket where they defeated Class A No. 6 Mayer Lutheran before fa l ling to Stillwater in two games to place 10th. The scores with the Crusaders were 25-16 and 25-21.

Also pictured is Lauren Aase (14) and Erin Schindler (5). emy topping Wabasha-Kellogg for third. Winning the silver bracket was Belle Plaine over section and conference rival Le Sueur-Henderson.

Makayla Wen zel led t he Hawks with 90 set assists on the day, while Schindler topped the team with 32 kills. Senior Kelly Riesgraf added 26 kills and nine block assists with Lauren Nordvold chipping in 25 kills.

Defensively, Keena Seiffert had a team-high 54 digs with Schindler adding 43. Junget had 25 digs and seven service aces.

Earlier in the week, Chaska fell to Eastview by the scores of 25-22, 25-19 and 28-26.

Riesgraf led the way with 12 kills, while Schindler had eight kills and 22 digs.

Chaska, the No. 8 seed in Section 2AAA, hosted No. 9 Willmar on Wednesday. Results are available on Scoreboard.MN. If the Hawks won, a quarterfi nal match with No. 1 seed Shakopee would be played at 7 p.m. Friday.

“I look at the bracket and I think the top six can beat anyone else. It comes down to who wants to keep playing more,” Murphy said. “Hopefully we’ll be there on Friday and put up a good fight.”

Shakopee beat the Hawks 27-27, 25-19 and 25-20 Sept. 15.

CROSS COUNTRY

Hawks hope for repeat performance

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

On paper, it looked as if Buffalo and Wright County Conference champion MoundWestonka were the favorites to nab the two spots to the Class AA State Cross Country Meet out of Section 2AA a year ago.

Races aren’t run on paper, though.

The Chaska boys surprised the field with a second-place fi nish – three points ahead of Mound-Westonka – to gain a spot in state.

This year, the Hawks return three of the runners that helped get the team to state.

And again, Chaska isn’t among the two favorites – will history repeat itself today near Hutchinson?

“We’re probably a little more of an underdog this year. Chan is pretty tough and there are some other really good teams,” Chaska boys coach Jesse Longley said. “We’re not afraid.

We’re going to give it a shot and give everything we have. I know the kids are excited and if we can stay confident we’ll stay close.”

The biggest question mark heading into the Missota Con-

ference Meet was the health of the state’s No. 4-ranked runner freshman Joey Duerr. Despite practicing only twice in the week leading up to conference, the Hawks’ top runner gutted it out and won the meet over Chanhassen’s Alec Olson and Kieran Kelly.

“We’ll keep him off his feet a bit, but hopefully he’s feeling a little better and we can get a few longer runs in,” said Longley after the Missota Meet. “He’ll keep hitting the pool and getting the foot to where it needs to be. Everyone else will go back to more of a routine. We’ll do some fast stuff and then let it rip for sections.”

For Chaska to have a chance at a top-two spot, Spencer Urick and Gavin Bjorklund need to have the races they had last week. The Hawks will also need two others – possibly senior captain Jake Connealy and Nathan Hewitt – to move up in the field and close the gap.

CHASING THE LEADERS While the field is quite open in the boys section race, the clear favorites in the girls race are last year’s 2AA state representatives Shakopee and Chanhassen.

The Sabers beat the Storm by 18 points last week at the Missota Meet.

Chaska, though, cut the gap by more than 70 points between them and Chanhassen at conference. It will still take a season-best performance to sneak into the top-two.

But that doesn’t discourage the girls or Chaska girls coach Scott Stallman.

“We’re seeing our competition and we’re learning how to break them up. And I think we saw that (at the conference meet). And it paid off,” Stallman said.

Four members from last year’s section returns led by Jenna Urick, who placed 15th a year ago. Also back are Madison Miler, Claire Bulat and Katherine Lowrey.

With the addition of frontrunner Anna Perrill, Niina Stensrud and Casey Miler, the Hawks are picking up confidence heading into today’s meet.

“Our workouts have focused on pacing from mile repeats to one thousand-meter repeats to 600-meter repeats. We have been increasing the tempo and it shows with our foot speed.

We’ve also learned how to race

differently with a bit more strategy. We can’t go out. Our team is just not structured in such a way where we can go out over the fi rst mile in 5:50 or 5:55 and see the success at the end,” Stallman said. “We have to build our way through the race.”

Meet time is 3 p.m. today at Lake Marion Park six miles south of Hutchinson on State Highway 15. The venue switched from the past two years when it was run in Willmar. The new course is flat with a section in the woods and times should be quick.

FIRE JOIN 2AA One school that can’t be overlooked at today’s meet will be Holy Family Catholic, which found tremendous success in Class A, but was moved into Section 2AA this fall.

Senior Jensen Orlow figures to be in the lead pack in the boys race. Orlow was seventh in Class A a year ago, helping the Fire to a seventh-place team fi nish. The Fire will need its second through fi fth runners to close the gap to contend and they may as all ran at state in 2010.

FIRE FOOTBALL

A second meeting with Waseca

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Outside of a blowout loss to St. Thomas Academy, the toughest game on Holy Family Catholic’s schedule this season was a 21-20 overtime win over Waseca in week seven.

The Bluejays, a 49-7 winner over St. Paul Highland Park Tuesday, will return to Victoria at 2 p.m. Saturday to face the Fire for a second time this season.

Top-seeded Holy Family beat No. 8 Jordan 42-0 on Tuesday to reach the semifi nals.

“We shut each other out in the first half, so we showed that we each can play some defense.

We each scored 14 points in the second half, so we showed that we each can play some offense. It was a little bit of everything,” Holy Family coach Dave Hopkins said. “I thought we were lucky to even be in it.

We blocked four punts in one game. We have to execute better on offense. Defense wins championships, but you have to put some points on the board.”

Offense wasn’t an issue Tues-

day against winless Jordan as the Fire outgained the Hubmen 436 to 87 for the game.

Michael Roane was a dual threat with 175 rushing yards on 12 carries, while also completing seven passes for 100 yards with three total touchdowns.

Ta n ner Steen gai ned 51 rushing yards and also hauled in three catches for 37 yards with two touchdowns.

“I’ve been telling Tanner since last March that he’d be a halfback and he was there for the fi rst time against Duluth (Denfeld). He’s done a nice job, but so has our other back Isaac Savaryn – he’s a nice compliment to Tanner,” Hopkins said.

Steen gave the Fire its fi rst lead on a 14-yard run before Roane bolted for 77 yards on the ground and then 10 yards through the air to Steen for the 22-0 lead after one quarter.

Roane and senior Cody Kern scored in the second quarter for the 35-0 advantage.

“We did exactly what we needed to do. We executed some plays we needed to work

on and most importantly we stayed healthy,” said Hopkins, who said almost every football player in ninth through 12th grade played in the contest.

Marcus Skonieczny rushed in the final score from two yards for the fi nal margin.

The Fire take a 26 -game home winning streak into Saturday’s contest with No. 4 seed Waseca (5-4).

“We’re happy about having home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. We haven’t lost on our field since September 2008 and we work very hard to maintain that,” the Fire coach said.

A WEEK EIGHT ROUT After playing in a pair of nail-biters in two of the past t h ree weeks, Holy Fa mi ly Catholic needed a game to get healthy on both sides of the ball.

The Fire scored five first-half touchdowns – Duluth Denfeld had five fi rst downs during the first 24 minutes in a 41-14 win in the regular-season fi nale.

Steen had a hat trick of scores, while Roane added

three touchdowns himself – two through the air and one on the ground for Holy Family.

Holy Family scored early and often against the Class 4A Hunters, jumping out to a 27-0 lead in the second quarter.

Roane got the Fire on the board on just the third offensive play of the series on a 15-yard run up the gut. Another senior, Steen, made it 20-0 on 32- and 12-yard rushing touchdowns.

Sam Burrows’ interception set up a 31-yard pass from Roane to Ryan Sheehan, while Roane hit Savaryn from 11 yards out late in the fi rst half for the 34-0 advantage.

Steen scored from one yard out in the third quarter to round out the scoring for Class 3A No. 6 Holy Family.

Two-point conversion fails as Storm moves on

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Play for the win in regulation or play for the tie and an overtime.

That was the decision Shakopee Head Coach Jody Stone was left with as the clock sat at 17.6 seconds in the fourth quarter down a point to Chanhassen.

The Sabers coach elected to go for it and after a timeout by the Storm, senior captain Nathan Holasek made the biggest play of his three-year career.

“We were in the huddle and our coach came out and told us we had to get it done,” Holasek said. “On a boot play, it’s the outside linebacker’s responsibility. Coach has taught me how to read the boot and that’s all I can say. It’s something we practice every day.”

“I’ll take the shoe-strong tackle any day. Whatever it takes,” he added.

Holasek’s sack coupled with a kick out of bounds on an onsides attempt sent the Storm into the second round of the playoffs for the first time in school history 27-26 Tuesday. It was also the fi fth straight win for Chanhassen.

“We started practicing on Chaska’s field. That was rough.

Going through the Lake Conference and everybody, this means a lot to us. Everyone has worked so hard for this. I can’t give enough credit to our team. We have such great chemistry – we all hang out after school and every practice,” said Holasek about winning a playoff game for the first time in three tries.

Shakopee, the two-time defending Missota Conference champions, was ranked No. 5 in state and was unbeaten at 8-0.

“This is it. That’s a great (Shakopee) team. This means so much to the seniors. To come back from the beginning of the season and fight and win five games in a row. It’s everything,” Edmunds said. “From the start when I was running the ball in the beginning, I thought they’re looking at me

It was Edmunds who did everything in his power to put Chanhassen in a position to win. He scored on fourth down from inside the one-yard line on the opening drive. He also recovered an onside kick on the ensuing possession, knocking the ball forward 10 yards from the tee and falling on it.

Coach Bill Rosburg’s call?

Nope.

“It’s something we work on every week. It’s typically on an onside situation, but he made the play and it’s not a surprise,” the coach said.

“Coach said to squib it in the open gap and I just saw them backing up so I did my little (kick). I just told the kickoff team it was going up the middle, but I didn’t say how far,” Edmunds said.

It was just one of those games where the senior fought off nicks and bruises and picked up big yardage in big times.

For the game, Edmunds rushed for a career-high 37 times for 228 yards.

“He’s a game-changer and a playmaker. You can’t coach half of the things he does,” Rosburg said.

“My coach said we need some guys to step up and I guess I chose to take on that responsibility,” Edmunds said.

Leading 27-13 with 6:06 to play, a missed field goal from 37 yards out gave Shakopee the ball. The Sabers first converted a fourth-and-25 on a pass from Nick Larson to Taylor Johnson. After a holding penalty moved the ball back 10 yards, it was again Johnson getting behind the Storm defense for a 37-yard catch-and-run from Larson to pull Shakopee within seven at 27-20.

Chanhassen had a chance to put the game away, but on

SPORTS BRIEFS

Storm seeking first section title

Julianne Blomberg leads the Chanhassen volleyball team with more than 300 kills this season. The Storm senior verbally committed to the University of Iowa late last week.

third down near midfield, Larson intercepted a Ryan McGuire pass, giving the Sabers one last chance with 2:19 to play.

Shakopee used a mix of runs and passes to get inside the one-yard line with Conrad scoring with 17.6 seconds remaining to cut the deficit to 27-26.

Chanhassen could have led 18-0 in the first quarter if not for an interception inside the five-yard line by Larson, who rushed for 47 yards and threw for 144 on six-for-18 passing.

Larson handled quarterback duties with senior Zak Hoffman not able to play.

The Storm did eventually get a second score as McGuire plowed his way in from 10 yards out for the 12-0 advantage.

Larson scored from five yards out to make it 12-6 in the second quarter, but it took Chanhassen just 90 seconds to get the points back as Edmunds hit paydirt from 10 yards for the 18-6 lead.

A two-point conversion pass from McGuire to sophomore tight end Jake Olmscheid made it 20-6 at halftime.

Shakopee got a 13-yard touchdown from Larson on the opening drive, but the Storm had an answer for every Sabers’ score.

A 65-yard drive was capped off by Holasek on a third-down run from six yards out.

Jake Guy added 38 yards on seven carries for Chanhassen (5-4), while Mike Cerjance rushed nine times for 42 yards. The Storm had 315 rushing yards in the game.

Jordan Gunhus led the way with 134 rushing yards for Shakopee on 22 carries, while Johnson had 79.

Chanhassen, which was ousted by Shakopee 40-8 in the fi rst round in 2010, plays at No. 2 seed Minnetonka at 7 p.m. Saturday. Eden Prairie and Edina meet in the other Section 6AAAA semifinal on Saturday.

for 123 yards and two touchdowns.

Defensively, Steen had 15 total tackles for Holy Family, which outgained the Hunters 423 to 249.

Chanhassen (20-4) is the third seed in Section 2AAA and will host the winner of Prior Lake and Mankato West at 7 p.m. Friday. A semifi nal match would likely be played in Hutchinson on Tuesday with a victory.

Shakopee and Hutchinson were given the top two seeds in the section.

S t o r m s e n io r Ju l i a n n e Blomberg doesn’t want a repeat of last year, in which the Storm dropped a 3-2 decision to rival Chaska in the playoff opener after beating the Hawks 3-0 in the regular season.

“We’re a really competitive bunch. All of our team goals are set on making it to state,” the senior said. “It was disappointing ending the season like that – knowing the six seniors had played their final match. I don’t want that to happen again.”

Chanhassen coach Kelli Katherman said the 10-day break between matches was good for the team to get healthy and refocus for the playoffs. She said

the feeling is “all or nothing – the time is now.”

“A team changes so much over a season. We’re not going to take (Prior Lake) lightly,” said Katherman about the Lakers – a team the Storm beat 3-1 in the season opener. “Every match in the playoffs, there’s no easy win. We prepare for every opponent the same way.

We talk about everything we need to bring to win.”

“It should be a pretty good match,” added Katherman on the potential match with Prior Lake.

The semifi nal round of Section 2AAA is on Tuesday at the high seed with the championship at a neutral high school site at 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5.

FIRE HOST IN 2AA Holy Family Catholic will host a quarterfi nal volleyball match as Watertown-Mayer comes to Victoria at 6 p.m. tonight for the start of the Section 2AA North playoffs.

The Fire, seeded No. 4 in the sub-section with a record of 15-12, beat the fi fth-seeded Royals 3-2 Sept. 13. WatertownMayer, which joined the Minnesota River this fall, has a record of 13-12 this season.

T he sem i f i n a l rou nd i s scheduled for Tuesday at the high seed with the sub-section finals at Gustavus Adolphus College Nov. 3.

Holy Family Catholic rallied from a 2-0 deficit to force a fi fth game Oct. 18 in the regularseason finale, but a strong Central Minnesota Christian School squad won in overtime for the 3-2 nonconference victory in Victoria.

Three games went the distance with the scores were 25-11, 27-25, 19-25, 24-26 and 16-14.

Ha n na h Schon ha rdt led the Fire with 20 kills, two solo blocks and two aces. Emma Fering added 10 kills and two blocks, while Shaye Sutherlund had six kills and two blocks.

Chaska Club Volleyball tryouts begin Tryouts for the 2011-12 Chaska Juniors Volleyball club program begins this weekend. The 11s-14s will try out from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday at Chaska High School.

Fire soccer coaches receive honors Holy Family Catholic varsity soccer coaches John Tudor and Jorge Oconitrillo were honored as Section 6A girls and boys coaches of the year. Both coaches led the Holy Family soccer teams to tremendous years.

Tudor, Director of Senior Player Development with CC United Soccer Association, coached the Fire girls’ team to an 11-7-2 record and a runner-up fi nish in Section 6A. He has been the head coach of the Holy Family girls team the past three years and the program has improved each year. This season, the Fire had Division I recruit Maggie Renfro and Alexis Gannon in the top-ten in the state in scoring.

Oconitrillo led Holy Family to its best season in school history. The team had a 12-5-2 record and was ranked No. 7 in the fi nal state Class A polls. At one point this season, the Fire were ranked No. 6 – the school’s highest ranking achieved.

Holy Family snapped Apple Valley’s 48-game unbeaten streak in a 2-1 win. Oconitrillo is in his third year of coaching the Fire boys soccer team after spending five seasons as the girls coach.

Following in her sister’s steps Emily Palkert is one of the most decorated players to ever have stepped on the court for the Southwest Christian High School volleyball team. The 2007 graduate is one of three Stars to have been selected to the Class A All-State Team.

She left her mark in the record books, setting a singleseason record with 384 kills, while also notching 962 kills, 344 blocks, 284 digs and 120 aces in her career.

Five years removed from her playing days at Southwest Christian, Pa lker t is back with the Stars – this time as a coach.

After spending four years at Concordia-St. Paul – winning four straight Division II volleyball titles – her passion for the sport continues to grow as an assistant coach. An added bonus is being able to watch and coach her sisters, Lydia and Abby, in the program she still calls home.

“It’s a little bit weird coaching at my high school, because I was in their situation once before. So, hopefully I can give them some input. It is fun being around my sisters and being able to work with them,” she said.

Palkert was a three-time All American with the Golden Bears and was the National Freshman of the Year in 2007.

Along the way, she set records in kills and points and won an unprecedented four national titles. During her four years in St. Paul, her teams lost only nine matches.

But after graduating last spring, Palkert wanted to stay i nvolved i n t he game. She played overseas for a while, but when it came to the fall, she wanted to do more than be a gym rat at Concordia. One day, her former coach Greg Sayuk, invited her onto the staff at Southwest Christian.

“I’ve coached camps in the past and JO teams, but never high school. (Greg) asked if I’d come help out and see if I’d

like it and I ended up staying on. It’s worked out really well,” said Palkert, who coached the junior varsity team this fall.

“Coaching is definitely a huge change. I’m so used to being out there competitive on the court, and now I’m on the bench. It’s been a big transition. Hopefully my playing days aren’t over though,” she added.

HER TIME NOW Entering the playoffs, No. 4-ranked Southwest Christian posted a 22-7 mark, which included a 3-1 record last week at the Sartell-St. Stephen Invitational.

The 22 victories is thirdmost in school history, trailing only the teams from 2005 (25) and 2008 (28). The Stars have a good chance to reach at least 25 wins as the No. 1 seed in Section 4A. “I just think the work ethic has been so different. Last year it started about halfway through the year where we started to work our butts off.

We started putting in the work and the results have shown,” Lydia said.

Lydia, a senior, is one of the three hitters the Stars look to for big points in big spots.

Sophomore Mackenzie Horkey and senior middle hitter Faith Vandergalien are the others.

Palkert was in middle school when her sister, Emily, was racking up kills for Southwest Christian. Watching her older sibling achieve greatness not only in high school, but at college, helped push her to where she is now.

“W hen she was i n high school, I liked volleyball but I really wasn’t into it as much yet.

When she got to college it was really inspiring to watch her.

We work well together. We’re not afraid to accept constructive criticism from each other. We just get along so well, so it’s good to have her around every day at practice,” Lydia said.

Emily said her sister has blossomed into a great leader and hopes she gets to accomplish something she never did.

“I haven’t had as much of a chance to see her play because I’m with my team, but I know she’s having a great season.

It’s been fun watching her grow and she’s a huge leader on the team. I don’t think she needs any advice in that aspect,” Emily said. “Her fi rst year she was on the team they made state and I never got to do that, so she knows what she’s doing. Hopefully she can make it again.”

Southwest Christian has only reached the state tournament one time in the program’s 14 years – that coming in 2008.

The Stars placed fi fth, winning the Class A Consolation Championship.

Lydia, who was a freshman reserve, hopes to make it two state appearances for the small private school in Chaska.

“Pretty much everyone in my class has been on the same team since freshman year, so we’ve been growing together as a team for this season. Our slogan this year is ‘One team, one journey.’ We’ve put in all of the work and now we’re ready to put it together,” Lydia said.

The road to state likely will go through No. 5-ranked Mayer Lutheran – the two-time defending section champions. Southwest Christian was ousted 3-1 in last year’s finals with the Crusaders.

“Mayer has been on the back of our minds for a long time. I know a lot of the players have gone to watch them countless times. If we’ve been at a tournament together with them, we always get to their games.

It’s a team we want to beat defi nitely,” Lydia said.

B efore a remat ch t a ke s place, both teams must take care of business. The Stars will play the winner of St. Agnes and Legacy Christian at 7 p.m.

Friday at Crown College in St. Bonifacius.

A semifinal match, likely against New Life Academy or Lester Prairie/Holy Trinity, would take place at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Legacy Christian.

The finals are at 5 p.m. Nov. 3 at Bloomington Kennedy High School.

carvernews Full steam ahead at Fleet Farm site CONTACT FOR STORY IDEAS Nick Mason: (952) 479-7384 or nicholascmason@comcast.net

The Carver section runs in the Chaska Herald the fourth Thursday of each month.

Goal is to open by August 2012 Construction of the Mills Fleet Farm complex and the city of Carver’s companion public improvements project are on schedule.

Mi l ls P roper ties I nc. of Brainerd is building a Mills Fleet Farm store, Mills Gas Mart convenience store and Mills Car Wash on nearly 39 acres northwest of Highway 212 and Jonathan Carver Parkway.

“With the overall site, we’re probably 25 to 30 percent [completed],” Mills Properties representative Bruce Buxton said in early October, while giving a Chaska Herald reporter a guided tour of the construction progress.

“We moved a lot of dirt and have a lot of underg round utilities in place,” Buxton said.

“We’ve got 65 percent of the walls up and, as of today, 50 percent of the steel structure and roof deck are in place. But there is a long way to go.”

Buxton estimated the project would be about 40 percent done when this story is published (Oct. 27). “By then all the walls will be done, all the steel will be up,” he said. “The roof, at least hopefully, will be covered.

We’re hoping the roof will be at least half on and hopefully we’ll be putting in curb and gutter by then.”

Buxton, principal and chairman of the board of Widseth Smith Nolting, an engineering, architecture, land surveying and environmental services company in Baxter, serves as project manager for Mills Properties at the Carver construction site.

Mills Properties also has a construction inspector examining all work to make sure materials are high quality and construction is done properly, Buxton explained.

“All the footings, all the steel, all the foundations. It’s all under the Mills umbrella,” Buxton said. “It’s part of our job to make sure this gets done right and on time.”

City inspectors also examine the construction to confi rm it complies with building safety codes and with construction plans submitted previously by Mills Properties and approved by the city.

“We’re out there one or two times per day,” Carver Building Official Mark Pistulka said of himself and Building Inspector Ron Ericson. “They have been great to work with, so everything has been going smoothly for us. I can’t think of anything that didn’t pass inspection.”

The goal remains to open the Fleet Farm and other stores to shoppers by August 2012, company officials said.

Similar progress is shown by the city’s hired contractor, Ryan Contracting Co. of Elko, in building a four-lane, divided entrance road; extending water and sewer pipes; and installing drainage systems, lighting and landscaping to serve the Mills Properties site and neighbors in Carver’s new freeway commercial district.

“The utility work I’d say is more than 70 to 75 percent complete. The street work is maybe 25 to 30 percent complete,” City Engineer Dan Boyum of Stantec Inc., formerly Bonestroo Inc., said during an Oct. 12 interview.

“They got started a little bit later than we expected,” Boyum said of Ryan Contracting. “But

they’ve had such good weather this fall that they are very close to where they anticipated being at this time.”

Boyum later stated in an email that the utility work should be completed except for minor “punch-list” items when this story is published today. The entrance road, named Levi Griffin Road, should be about 60 percent done by today, he wrote.

“The fi nal lift of bituminous [asphalt] will not go down until next spring on Levi Griffin Road, so even by the end of this season there still will be some road work to be done in 2012,” Boyum wrote. “We typically let the road that had the amount of utility work done on it to go through one freeze/thaw cycle before paving the fi nal lift of bituminous.”

Stantec inspectors examine Ryan Contracting’s work a l most dai ly, Boy u m said.

Some earth compaction work initially failed inspections, but corrections were made and then passed inspection in follow-up tests.

“They’ve passed or corrected anything that was needed,” Boyum said. “They’ve been working fi ne. We haven’t had any major issues.”

Thomas Ryan, president of Ryan Contracting, could not be reached for comment. He did not return two telephone calls.

Reports about Ryan Contracting’s progress can be found on the city’s website, www.cityofcarver.com, by clicking the homepage link titled “Carver Area Construction Updates” and then clicking the dated “Levi Griffi n Rd. Construction Update.”

“We want to make sure people know what is happening and get excited,” Carver City Administrator Brent Mareck said of the web site’s construction information. “We are trying to generate some momentum that Mills is bringing to the area.”

FROM PAPER TO REALITY Carver City Council members and their staff spent about a year negotiating a deal with Mills Properties to launch commercial development along the Highway 212 corridor.

Councilors agreed to pay Mills Properties a maximum public subsidy exceeding $1.48 million because they believe a high-profi le Fleet Farm store will spark several more commercial developments nearby.

The subsidy is structured as a partial rebate of annual property taxes the company will pay from 2013 until 2021.

The result were plans for a 255,509 square-foot (almost 6 acres) Fleet Farm, a 4,307 square-foot convenience store with gasoline, diesel and kerosene dispensers and a 5,080 square-foot car wash with four washing bays.

Construction began in late June. Mills Properties budgeted $10.4 million for building construction and site development, according to the company’s cost estimates submitted to the city.

“It ’s t ra nsfor mi ng from something on a piece of paper into reality,” Mareck said. “You drive down the road and see the main store going up and the car wash. It’s kind of neat when you have meetings over a year on every individual intricate detail to now see something rise out of the ground.

“I think, as a whole, the city council, the staff and the community are excited about this par tnership,” Mareck said. “From talking to plan-

ning to now construction and the next phase is actual use.

Once they get their store open, they will be a major part of the community. People in the city will enjoy that for many years to come.”

Fleet Farm stores sell clothing, furniture, housewares, electronics, vehicle parts and accessories, lawn and garden supplies, pet supplies, sporting goods, and farm and livestock supplies at 31 locations, mostly smal l cities in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and North Dakota.

The company’s 32nd store in Carver will fill a gap in the southwest T win Cities metro area. The closest Fleet Farm store now is in Lakeville, nearly 25 miles from downtown Carver.

So far, city officials are not aware of any neighbors owning land in the commercial district along Highway 212 currently negotiating with developers to bring more businesses there.

“I have not heard of any,” Mareck said.

The city government erected a sign at the southwest corner of Jonathan Carver Parkway and future Levi Griffi n Road welcoming the Fleet Farm store and stating other “privately ow ned develop m e nt p r o p e r t y guided for comm e r c i a l /r e t a i l use is available” in the Highway 212 commercial district.

Plans for a Mills Fleet Farm, near Highway 212/Jonathan Carver Parkway in Carver, include a 255,000-square-foot retail store, a fuel station/convenience store, and a car wash. Construction is expected to be completed by August 2012. neighbor Mark Lano, but Walmart pulled out of that purchase and recently submitted plans to open a store in Chanhassen.

Most of the estimated $5.15 million cost for building Levi Griffin Road and making the other public improvements are expected to be paid by four property owners benefitting directly from the project. The rest is slated to be paid by the city, Carver County and Minnesota Department of Transportation.

Mills Properties paid its $2,241,766 share of property assessment for the city project in June. Carver officials reached agreements this year with Lano and two other neighbors to pay maximum property assessments totaling $1.76 million only if and when those properties are annexed from Dahlgren Township into Carver city limits.

That means the city must pay for the public improvements now and be reimbursed later by Lano and the other two neighbors upon annexation.

The City Council has started the process to borrow $1.63 million this year by selling bonds to investors in order to

complete the project.

“In the event that none of the three properties are annexed or developed in the fi rst few years, the city will have to levy a property tax to pay the annual principal and interest payments beginning with taxes payable in 2014,” Ehlers Inc., the city’s fi nancial consultant, wrote in an Oct. 3 report submitted to the City Council.

The best-case scenario for the city government is all three properties being annexed into the city for commercial development within three years, Dave Callister, a fi nancial advisor at Ehlers, told the Chaska Herald.

If that happens, the property assessments would be collected and cover all costs of the $1.63 million loan, he said.

The worst- case scenario would be if none of the three properties are annexed into the city for commercial development before the year 2034 when the final loan payment will be due. In that case, Callister said, the city will have paid $2.58 million out of city coffers to repay the loan without being reimbursed by the three property owners.

UNION PROTESTS The Fleet Farm project attracted protests by organized labor because some contractors hired by Mills Properties employ non-union workers, but the company said construction never was halted or delayed.

“At this point, everything is right on schedu le,” Ron Obeidzinski, vice president and chief fi nancial officer of Mills Properties, said during an Oct. 18 interview. “Union and non-union employees and Mills have all worked together. The cooperation is great. … We’re very happy with the way things are moving forward.”

Union demonstrations included picketing and inflating a large balloon depicting a rat near the construction site and ha ndi ng out

critical leaflets at existing Fleet Farm stores in other communities, including Lakeville.

“The bottom line is Fleet Farm is exploiting workers,” said Tim Mackey, business agent for the Construction and General Laborers Union Local 563 of Minneapolis. “It’s greed. What is running this is greed.”

Buxton said Mills Properties hired 25 to 30 contractors to supply materials and workers based on pre-qualifying them for prior work performance and current financial capability and then based on competitive bidding.

“Mills is a very strong believer that everybody has the right to work,” Buxton said.

“There has been union activity down here, which is disruptive.

But Mills will not kowtow to [labor unions]. We’re not going to let them affect our job.”

One critical union leaf let singles out Breitbach Construction Co. of Elrosa, which is providing concrete to the Mills Properties project.

“Mills Fleet Farm has hired a contractor who exploits workers,” the leaflet states. “Breitbach Construction has hired construction laborers from a temporary agency. The workers have stated that they are being paid minimum wage. This is far below the area standard wages set by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry in Carver County.”

Ryan Breitbach, vice president of Breitbach Construction, said his company previously obtained some laborers from a temporary employment agency but now no longer needs them.

“We did have some when those [union] fliers were printed, but we simply don’t need their help anymore,” Breitbach said. “We paid the temp agency significantly more than minimum wage. What they pay their employees is not really our business. They are not our employees.”

Mills Properties responded by circulating its own leaflet accusing the union of “spreading false information.”

The company’s leaflet states that “the truth” is 90 percent of the contractors are union, that 75 percent of the money is union and that no contractors are paying minimum wage.

“Mills Properties, Inc. supports free enterprise and open shop. Mills allows ‘both’ union and non-union contractors to bid on all construction projects,” the company’s leaf let states. “We are proud Americans and take pride in creating construction jobs whether they are union or non-union.”

Buxton said about 100 construction workers were on site this month and the number will climb.

“Right now we probably have 100 jobs out here. That is generally where we start,” Buxton said. “At some point, we will have 200 out here.”

Obeidzinski said he is not disappointed by union protests.

“Not disappointed, no. This is America and they have the right to protest if they feel that is what they need to do,” Obeidzinski said.

There have been no union protests about Ryan Contracting building the entrance road, utilities, drainage systems, lighting and landscaping for the city, Boyum wrote in an e-mail.

“According to the city’s contractor, they have all union labor,” Boyum wrote.

Plans for new downtown business collapse City to review permit process

BY NICK MASON nicholascmason@comcast.net

Plans for a new business in downtown Carver collapsed last week and the owner intends to move instead to Minneapolis.

John Sheesley became frustrated with Carver’s permitting process, began looking elsewhere and eventually chose to relocate his Dacotah Furniture Co. Inc. craftsman shop from Faribault to downtown Minneapolis.

“When a business is looking to move into town, that is the time you would think local government would be the friendliest,” Sheesley said of Carver, during a series of interviews in mid-October. “They weren’t inviting, so then you wonder what happens down the road.”

The episode prompted Carver City Administrator Brent Mareck to take a fresh look at whether changes should be made about the types of businesses required to get a conditional use permit. He said he wants to discuss that with Carver City Council, local business organizations and interested citizens.

“Every time you go through a process where things didn’t work out the way you intended it to, you evaluate,” Mareck said. “We can evaluate what uses are required to get conditional use permits. That is what we will do.

“We don’t want to stay flatfooted. We want to constantly improve,” Mareck said. “The question is: How do we want the downtown to look and feel and operate?”

The outlook appeared bright Oct. 3 for Sheesley to relocate to the vacant building at 113 Third Street East when the City

Council voted unanimously to approve the permit with several conditions, primarily to limit noise impacts on nearby residents.

“I would be pleased to see a business in there,” Councilor Cindy Monroe said.

Sheesley and his prospective landlord, Peter Thiesfeld, attended the council meeting but did not speak.

Key conditions placed in the permit requires “doors and other openings” to be closed when “power-operated tools or other equipment” are used and not allowing power tools to be audible outside the building between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m.

“A typical manufacturing operation may not be suitable at this site, but the proposed use as a small wood craftsman shop may be complementary to the downtown and with the appropriate conditions may not be any more noticeable to the neighbors than a retail shop or office,” City Planner Cindy Nash wrote in a report to the City Council.

“Staff has reviewed the application and considered the potential for noise, and is of the opinion that the noise can be adequately managed with the recommended conditions,” Nash wrote.

But there were unresolved issues below the surface that night.

Sheesley, 39, of the Kelly section of southern Minneapolis, said he was bothered by the city’s permitting process, the city’s costs imposed on him as the permit applicant and the time involved in getting approval. He later estimated that he invested about $1,600 and 12 hours, which he considered excessive.

“The issue is the city government,” Sheesley said. “The process is setting the tone for me. I may take my business to another town, maybe a little more business-friendly.”

Sheesley initially criticized Nash in person and to others, but he later retracted those comments and said he apologized to her.

He was not alone expressing permitting concerns, according to city records.

Nash wrote to the City Council that Thiesfeld objected to a permit condition restricting noise during the Carver Planni ng Com mission meeti ng Sept. 27.

“Peter Thiesfeld was in disagreement with the condition relating to keeping the doors and windows closed while power operated tools are in use,” Nash wrote. “After discussion with the Planning Commission, Mr. Thiesfeld stated that he was willing to accept the condition.”

The permit is approved for the property, so another custom wood furniture craftsman shop could move there without having to get a new permit.

When contacted by the Chaska Herald, Thiesfeld objected to a story being written about Sheesley and his decision not to move to Carver. Thiesfeld later declined to be interviewed or to make any comment for publication.

Mareck said he found nothing wrong with the process of reviewing Sheesley’s permit application.

“I don’t think there is anything, in my opinion, that was wrong with the process,” Mareck said. “If someone hasn’t gone through the process before, it can be frustrating.

“Mr. Sheesley might have disagreed with some of the conditions the city planner put in there, but we have to look out for and get input from residents,” Mareck said. “Ultimately, the city wants to protect residential neighborhoods so doors are not open at 2 a.m. with someone banging away.”

He wanted to move from Faribault because his shop there only had a manufacturing area and to be closer to his Minneapolis home.

“I needed a bigger shop,” he said. “I wanted a storefront and retail.”

Sheesley said Oct. 17 that he began investigating locations in Montgomery and Minneapo-

lis once he became frustrated with Carver’s permitting process and formed reservations about moving to Carver.

“The drawn-out process [in Carver] made me look a little bit more,” he said.

“In Montgomery, no permit is required, no hassle. It was already a permitted retail use,” he said. “I’m also looking at property in Minneapolis. No conditional use permit is necessary there, as well. So why is it

going to be more complicated in Carver than it is in Minneapolis? It’s counter-intuitive to me.”

The following day, Sheesley said he chose Minneapolis.

“There I will have a lot more exposure, more foot traffic,” Sheesley said Oct. 18. “It’s slightly larger square footage and the same amount of dollars. My girlfriend and I can car pool. The perfect situation fell into my lap.”

The year that was 1968 History Center exhibit explores the history, culture of pivotal year

BY PAT MINELLI editor@shakopeenews.com

I

wasn’t in high school quite yet in 1968, but as a history buff, I knew that was a year of significant events in U.S. history.

What I didn’t realize was how many or how significant.

A trip to the new “1968 Exhibit” at the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul made me realize how pivotal that year was. In many ways Americans are affected still today by what occurred in 1968, which makes the exhibit appealing to more than those who were young folks back then.

It was a year when the Vietnam War was at its bloodiest and protesters at full force. Riots disrupted the Democratic National Convention. African Americans were demanding civil rights and women insisting on equality with men. It was a year when three American astronauts circled the moon for the first time, a prelude to 1969’s lunar landing. And it was a year when civil rights leader the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy were assassinated, shocking a reeling nation and dashing the hopes and dreams of millions.

1968 was a year so chock-full of news that the exhibit starts with a presentation of events by month.

Here are a few stations that stood out for me: January: The first stop, “The Living Room War,” signified a new phenomenon. For the first time, war — close-up, bloody and deadly fighting — was brought into American homes through television, and this stark view is credited with hastening opposition.

Visitors enter a living room with a reassembled Huey helicopter. A TV shows a newscast about the bloody Tet Offensive and newsman Walter Cronkite expressing doubts about the war effort.

February: Inside the helicopter bay are items from soldiers, including a letter, draft card and recorded memories of battles. Also, a flag-draped coffin. Feb. 11-18 was the deadliest week in the war with 543 American casualties; 2,200 died in the month.

April: The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and its impact is displayed in photos and media presentation, which includes King’s “Mountaintop” speech.

June: Robert F. Kennedy, who just won the Democratic

presidential primary in California, was assassinated at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. A blown-up photo of the mortally wounded Kennedy is on display, as well as the camera used to shoot the photo and items from the hotel. A trainwindow shaped video screen shows people honoring Kennedy as the rail car carried his body from New York to Washington, D.C. August: Riots outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, including protesters’ battles with police, are depicted along with recorded descriptions.

Minnesota Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey was nominated for president.

September: A re-created setting of protests by feminist activists against things like the Miss America Pageant, bras and high-heels. (Actual employment ads from the Minneapolis newspapers will astound viewers: Most were headlined, “Girl Wanted for ---”) November: The election of Republican Richard Nixon over Humphrey is considered one of the most significant in history because it realigned the political leanings of the South to the Republicans.

Democrats, riding the wave of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal liberal politics, had won seven of nine presidential elections since 1933. Between 1968 and 2008, only two Democrats were elected president — and both were southerners.

December: Visitors enter the same living room from January but instead find a full-size replica of the Apollo 8 command module used by astronauts, orbiting the moon for the first time. A TV broadcasts images beamed from the moon orbit, including an astronaut reading from the Book of Genesis.

Minnesota History Center ‘1968 Exhibit’ About: The state-of-the-art, multimedia traveling exhibit — brought here in partnership with the Atlanta History Center, Chicago History Museum and Oakland Museum of California — is open through Feb. 20.

Cost: $10 adults, $8 seniors (65+) and college students (valid ID), $5 children ages 6-17; free to the public Tuesdays from 5 to 8 p.m.

Hours: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Tuesday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday; Noon to 5 p.m.

Sunday; closed Monday (open Monday holidays).

At right – The “1968 Exhibit” includes music, television and movies from the year as well as fashion. A Minneapolis woman, a self-proclaimed “flower child,” made these pants and would add a new patch after attending a concert or event.

Far-out!

Location: Minnesota History Center, 345 Kellogg Blvd. W., St. Paul

I was too young in 1968 to understand that beyond my sunshine splashed Flower Power world, the culture was changing, not smoothly, but abruptly and violently, and it all seemed to come to a head in 1968.

Taking a magic carpet ride to 1968

In 1968, I was 9 years old. My world revolved around reading Trixie Belden mysteries, playing with Barbie dolls, watching TV shows like “Family Affair” and “That Girl” and bopping to the Cowsills’ anthem “Hair” and the Monkees’ “Daydream Believer.”

And yet, there was a dark undercurrent. I was too young in 1968 to understand that beyond my sunshine splashed Flower Power world, the culture was changing, not smoothly, but abruptly and violently, and it all seemed to come to a head in 1968.

The Vietnam War was always in the background, hosted on television

by Walter Cronkite. Daily casualty counts of the dead and the wounded were distant until a local boy was killed. His younger sister was a popular high school girl. Still, the war was mostly abstract.

I sensed it was a big deal when civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, though I really didn’t know who he was.

I just knew that assassination is never good. When President John F. Kennedy was killed in 1963, I was

4 and watched his televised funeral with my mom, who cried and blew her nose into tissues the whole time.

It seemed our Catholic neighbors went to Mass. A lot.

When kids were rioting and striking on campuses, our neighborhood was all abuzz because

our neighbors, the Jensens, had to drive to the University of WisconsinOshkosh in the middle of the night to rescue their daughter from her dorm.

At our house, our TV antenna only picked up two stations — CBS and NBC. We watched the coverage

of the Democratic Convention in Chicago simply because there was nothing else on. I think I remember images of placards, shouting and hitting.

Four friends joined me for the recent opening of the “1968” exhibit at the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul, our ages ranging from 65 to 53. As we wandered through the exhibit, it was interesting to see what resonated most for each of us, depending on our age in 1968.

Linda and Karen were in their early 20s, both married and about to join the front lines of the women’s movement. Mary graduated from high school and headed to college to forge a professional career other than teacher or nurse. And Sue was 14, attending a high school that did spot checks on the length of miniskirts.

Later, a group of people clustered around the vintage cabinet TV set that ran a loop of 1968 television shows.

“What were the kids’ names?” a man asked to no one in particular.

“Buffy and Jody and Cissy,” I said without thinking. “And, of course,

Uncle Bill and Mr. French.”

Some things you just never forget.

I plan to return. There was too much to absorb in one visit.

Halloween is fast approaching. I remember, as a child, going to my grandparents’ house and ringing the front door, then running to the back door to surprise them. The problem is that they met us at the backdoor. How do grandparents get so smart?

We played this trick every year. You would think at some point we could have caught them off guard.

Pumpkin carving and trick-or-treating are customs that have been around for centuries. The legend of Stingy Jack seems to be universally credited as the origin of the Jack-o’-lantern.

The legend originates in Ireland where turnips, potatoes and beets were used to carve into lanterns for practical use. The native pumpkin was and currently is used in the U.S. How these lanterns became part of Halloween is explained in the legend of Stingy Jack.

Stingy Jack was a cranky, dirty, miserly type fellow who liked to drink. If there was a way to get out of paying for something, he would find it.

One day he was in a bar when the Devil walked in.

Jack, as usual, thought hard about how to trick the Devil into buying him a drink. After much contemplation, Jack made a deal with the Devil.

If the Devil would buy him a drink, Jack would give the Devil his soul. To this, the Devil readily agreed.

Being the miserly soul

Wendy

PETERSON-BIORN MOMENT IN TIME

he was, Jack convinced the Devil to turn himself into a coin which Jack would use to pay for the drink. The Devil agreed and changed himself into a coin. Jack grabbed the coin and promptly put it in his pocket next to a silver cross.

This prevented the Devil from changing back into his original form. Eventually, Jack agreed to release the Devil if he would not claim his soul for 10 years.

Ten years passed and Jack met the Devil while walking down a dirt road. The Devil, recognizing Jack, attempted to collect the long promised soul.

Jack asked for one thing before he was taken away. He asked for an apple at the top of a tree.

The Devil not seeing any reason not to get the apple climbed the tree. Jack quickly took out a pocket knife and carved crosses into the tree, making it impossible for the Devil to get down. This time, Jack made the Devil agree to never take his soul before Jack would allow him out of the tree.

Several more years passed and Jack died. At Heaven’s pearly gates, God would not allow Jack to pass because of how Jack led his life on earth. Jack asked God where he should go and God said that maybe he might be better suited for the opposite direction.

Jack left Heaven feeling forlorn but having nowhere else to go, went to Hell to see if the Devil would let him in.

Keeping his previous promise, the Devil would not let Jack in Hell either.

Jack asked the Devil where he should go if neither Heaven nor Hell would take him. To this question the Devil replied, that Jack should go back to earth where he could roam the planet for eternity. The night was dark and Jack could not see. The Devil gave Jack a lump of coal to light the way.

Jack placed the coal into a carved turnip and used this as his lantern to light the way.

The United States is a mixture of people and customs. Halloween is no different. Stingy Jack explains the origin of the Jack-o’lantern, but Halloween, once called All Hallow’s Eve is also the day before All Saints Day. All Saints Day is cerebrated in many countries by paying respect to their dead, similar to our Memorial Day. The Day of the Dead is the designated day in Mexico on Nov. 1.

Did you know?

In 1584, after French explorer Jacques Cartier explored the St. Lawrence region of North America, he reported finding “gros melons.” The name was translated into English as “pompions,” which has since evolved into “pumpkin.”

These Halloween costumes are the winners of the 1956 Halloween costume contest at the “WH School auditorium.” It’s unknown whether the school was in Waconia or Watertown.

The world’s largest Jack O’ lantern was carved by Scott Cully from the then world’s largest pumpkin on Oct. 23, 2002, at the Topsfield Fair, Massachusetts. The pumpkin was grown by Charles Houghton and weighed 1,337 pounds, 9.5 ounces during the fair’s pumpkin weigh-off.
