Fighting the good fight Chaska fire marshal honored for safety education

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

Kevin Gravalin knows being a fi refighter is about a lot more than sliding down fi rehouse poles and riding in fi re engines.

“Our ‘fun’ is someone’s tragedy,” he said. It’s a notion he’s tried to impart on new fi refighters throughout his 24 years with the Chaska Fire Department.

As fi re marshal – a role he’s had since 2000 – Gravalin has worked to educate fi refighters, as well as the general public. And for that,

Church to honor Civil War soldiers 150 years later, East Union troops receive memorial

BY MARK W. OLSON editor@chaskaherald.com

One hundred and fi fty years ago, Carver County men answered the call to serve in the Civil War. In East Union, a small farm com-

munity just west of Carver, 78 men signed up. According to a 1908 East Union Lutheran Church history, 10 didn’t return from action, dying in battles and prison camps.

Now the East Union congregation is planning to install a plaque on their church listing all 78 East Union area men who fought in the Civil War. There will be a ceremony following the 9 a.m., Sunday, Nov. 6 service (being held on All Saints

Barn-burner of an idea The faces behind county’s outdoor quilt gallery

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

The Barn Quilts of Carver County project has sparked interest across the county and beyond.

Since August, more than a dozen barn quilt “squares” have been on display on barns throughout the

county. The squares are based on traditional quilt patterns, recreated on 8-foot-by-8-foot wood panels. Last summer, volunteers painted the quilt squares, and later the Minnesota Valley Electrical Cooperative loaned its boom truck and provided workers to install the panels on barns whose owners signed up for a square.

Since then, individuals and tour groups have taken self-guided tours through the countryside for an opportunity to enjoy local folk art and explore rural Carver County.

Carver County officials have taken steps to put a lid on the county portion of property taxes for next year. Salaries have been frozen; county divisions have made trims; vacant positions have been left open; and some capital projects have been put on hold as a result in a shift in state aid that left a $1.4 million hole. But how that will translate into property taxes for homeowners varies.

On Tuesday, as County Administrator David Hemze presented his final budget and levy recommendation for 2012, a new chart projected how homeowners across the county will be af fected. (Property taxes support the county, city and school district, as well as smaller taxing jurisdictions.)

For the most part, county taxes for the average valued home in each city will remain relatively f lat. However, in some cities, taxes will tick up.

The barn quilt project got its start last year when Naomi Russell, a quilter from Waconia, returned from vacation inspired by the painted barn quilt panels she saw while driving along highways in Wisconsin and Iowa. When she came home, she did some research and learned that barn quilts have been sprouting up throughout the Midwest as part of The American Barn Quilt Movement, an outdoor art form.

The original barn quilt project was started in Ohio by Donna Sue Groves of Adams County, Ohio. She painted a barn quilt square on her family’s tobacco barn as a way to honor her mother, a master quilter. It’s estimated that since 2001, there have been 1,500 painted quilt squares displayed on barns throughout the United States in Iowa, Illinois, Tennessee and Wisconsin.

“Why doesn’t somebody do this in Carver County?” Russell wondered.

“Maybe you’re that somebody,” her husband said.

ARTS CONSORTIUM Russell, a member of the

Arts Consortium of Carver County, brought the idea to the group. It seemed to be a perfect project with which to launch the ACCC and its mission, to support, and to advocate for the arts in Carver County. The ACC applied for a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, along with the support of the Chaska Area Quilt Club, The Arts Consortium of Carver County and the Clean Water Land and Legacy Amendment.

Carver artist Suzanne Thiesfeld, Russell and Barb Hone of the Arts Consortium of Carver County teamed up, fi rst sending out a call to county farms interested in having a barn quilt. They selected quilt block patterns and then organized teams of volunteers to paint.

“As artistic director, Suzanne created a design book of a wide variety of quilting styles and designs,” Hone said. “Barn owners were initially asked if they had a favorite block or cherished family quilt they would like to recreate a block from or given the option of choosing one of the many quilt blocks available.”

“Suzanne designed a work schedule and barn owners, family members and community volunteers signed up for shifts at her studio in the morning

market value year over year.

Frischmon said the degree in which the value of commercial property has fallen will play a large role in whether taxes are going up or down in 2012.

Hemze stressed that Carver County is one of the few counties in the area that is attempting to fill a gap caused by a state legislative change in the Market Value Homestead Credit program. Others, according to Hemze, are passing the loss in aid along to taxpayers.

Hemze also said that property taxes for the owner of an average-valued home in the county have declined since 2005.

Another chart presented showed the amount the average homeowner pays in county taxes on a monthly basis for county services.

According to the chart, the cost for county libraries is $6 per month. “For less than the cost of a new best seller in paperback, all residents have easy access to everything the county libraries have to offer,”

Hemze said. Other monthly costs include: $6 per month for maintaining roads and bridges; $1 per month for parks and trails; $23 per month to support the Sheriff’s Office.

CDA TO BUY CHASKA APARTMENTS The Carver County Community Development Agency received support to purchase Waybury Apartments, a complex for low-income senior residents, off of Village Road in Chaska.

The Carver County-backed housing development bonds will be issued to allow the CDA to acquire the apartments. The bonds will be repaid through rental fees paid by Waybury residents, according to CCDA representatives, and shouldn’t have any affect on county taxpayers.

The county bonding authority allows the CCDA to make the $2.3 million purchase with the lowest interest rates available.

Fellow barn owners also worked on one another’s quilts creating a sense of community and partnership in the work. Volunteers were readily available and happy to fi ll in the gaps when necessary.”

The painting took place several weeks through the summer.

By August, the first barn quilt was installed on the barn of Marilyn and Leon “Butch” Kelzer of Waconia; they chose the traditional Double Wedding Ring quilt block in honor of their 50th wedding anniversary this year.

Other installations quickly followed, and since then, the feedback has been positive and encouraging, Hone said.

The ACCC plans to add 15 more quilt blocks next spring and is seeking more barn owners to participate.

Legislation addresses levee issue Recently introduced legislation addresses FEMA regulations requiring cities to completely remove emergency levees.

U.S. Rep. John Kline, a Republican, and U.S. Rep. Collin Peterson, a Democrat introduced H.R. 3251 on Oct. 28.

As repor ted earlier this year, the cities of Carver and Watertown both built up levees, preparing for what was predicted to be record flooding along the Minnesota and Crow rivers.

However, when the cities expressed interest in keeping the heightened levees after the floods had passed, they were informed that if they did, they would not be reimbursed by FEMA. Officials argued about the futility of taking down the levees, only to put them up again at a later date – once again at FEMA expense. But facing well over $100,000 in Carver ultimately took down its levee – to avoid a bill that would be over $150,000.

“FEMA’s inf lexible guidelines create bureaucratic boondoggles for communities in Minnesota and nationwide that face repeated flooding,” stated Kline, in a press release.

Kline visited a levee site and met with local officials last week in Carver County. “My

GUEST COMMENTARY

Editor needs to do homework

BY JIM BAUCK

All of us in the Eastern Carver County Schools were disappointed to read last week’s editorial in which the editor of the Herald proclaimed we had not made a case for the technology levy scheduled for Nov. 8. While feedback from hundreds of citizens over the last six weeks says quite the opposite … that the need is clear and our approach respectful … it is important that we address the points the editor makes.

The editor questions the timing of the referendum, noting that the economy is still rocky. We have acknowledged the tight economy in our publications and in every presentation we’ve made.

We brought the question to our citizens because we are compelled to try to keep our instructional program up-to-date. We don’t serve our students well if we see a compelling need and ignore it because times are tough. State economist Tom Stinson describes the current economic situation as “the new normal.” In that context, we wonder when the editors would believe asking for additional support for the community’s children is warranted.

The children are here, in our classrooms now. They don’t get a doover in school when the technology finally catches up to instruction.

They need access to technology now while they can benefit.

The editor finds our plan unclear.

Our plan has been on our website for four weeks. You can see the 10 year spending plan with areas of spending clearly defined. You can see exactly what each school will receive in the first two years following the vote. We are committed to putting general fund money into training for teachers to ensure technology is well-used in the classroom.

If the editor has some insight as to what technology will be most important in the classroom five years from now, we’d be delighted to listen and include those specifics in our plan. Our own experience tells us that the ability to be nimble in evaluating and adopting new technology as it becomes available is key to keeping our instruction relevant.

The editor doesn’t think we’ve educated the taxpayers well enough. I have made more than 40 presentations across our four communities. We have laid out the plans for the technology expenditures on our website and in a newsletter mailed to every residence. We answer every e-mail question we get. We offered an information night in which school board members, our technology staff, our curriculum staff and our finance director were available to answer questions on a one-to-one

basis with anyone who attended.

Any taxpayer who wanted more information about this referendum could engage us in multiple ways.

Finally, the editor attacks our integrity by using the emotionally charged term ‘money grab’ to describe our referendum. As in every referendum in the last two decades, we have gone to our community for feedback before shaping a ballot question for their consideration. We do this to determine if our residents have information needs about the issues, and if they generally support or oppose our approach to addressing these concerns.

Technology was just one of the issues we explored in the May/June telephone survey. We asked about support for technology because the last budget process made it clear that our ability to keep up with the technology needs in our schools was unsustainable.

Our instructional technology needs were being funded through the capital budget. This put technology in competition with needs like roof repair and sidewalk maintenance.

Last spring, board members wrestled with $2.4 million in budget cuts. During that process, they were forced to reduce the amount of capital spending on technology in order to address important building repairs long ignored due to the demands of technology needs. We wondered how the community saw the issue of technology funding.

Would the community help us continue important technology expenditures? The survey told us, yes, but not at the full amount necessary to completely cover all classroom needs.

In respect for the community’s feedback, the board crafted a levy request that allows us to move forward by sustaining current technology and making modest improvements over the next 10 years. A money grab? Hardly.

Let me be clear. Without additional support for technology, we will be forced to let go of many of our best curriculum improvements over the last five years. Our teachers will have fewer tools to personalize learning … to inspire and engage students with the tools of their generation. Our curriculum will not be able to take advantage of the increasing move away from books to online resources.

This is a modest proposal based on three things: community feedback; our understanding of the current economy; and real instructional needs. Our plan is clear and available to all. Now it is up to the community. We will as always, continue to do our very best for our students.

Jim Bauck is the superintendent of District 112.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR TECH LEVY

Paying more than other districts In last week’s letter to the editor (“Per pupil funding less than average”), DeeDee Kahring notes the data I used in my letter to the editor was inaccurate. My data did come from the website, HomeSurfer.com, which is used to by potential home buyers to find information about school districts in a given area.

While the data may have been old, I’m assuming they gather the data in a consistent manner across districts in the state and use this to provide a ranking of school spending. I’m not writing to defend the data, but rather the premise that I posed in my previous letter.

DeeDee was kind enough to share the latest budget numbers that the district uses for their comparisons to other districts. While these recent figures are different, the premise remains the same, as DeeDee herself asserts in her letter. She states that “it appears that we are spending more because we are spending more.” This was the point of my letter.

While DeeDee makes the argument that we shouldn’t count all areas of the budget in our comparisons, we seem to be expected to do so in regard to special segments of the budget. In the end, our residents are paying more per pupil than neighboring districts, whether the spending is for roofs, chairs, computers, books, sports fields, salaries, etc.

Finally, I would also like to challenge DeeDee’s assumption that I claimed there is no technology funding in our district. That’s not what was stated at all. I have children in the district, and I know full well that they have excellent technology available to them.

As DeeDee states, we’ve spent nearly a million dollars on technology this year, despite the lack of a special budget or levy to do so. I chal-

lenge anyone on the fence to look at the data and see how we compare on all aspects of the budget.

John Brunette Chaska

Couldn’t come at worse time We agree with the main Oct. 27 editorial (“District hasn’t made its case”) in the Herald about the lack of detailed information concerning the technology referendum by the District 112 School Board.

This highlights the fact that the school board members haven’t done their homework in presenting the real details to taxpayers concerning this referendum. They choose to ignore the hard fact that we are currently in a major economic recession that shows no sign of ending.

This referendum couldn’t come at a worse time for Carver County residents; look around at all of the empty store fronts, the empty commercial buildings, houses for sale that remain unsold, and the lack of good jobs. The District 112 School Board needs to be held accountable for budgeting and allocating our tax dollars, and not continue to demand more money.

A letter to the editor (“Better schools mean higher home values,” Oct. 27) stating that our houses are worth more because of the school referendums doesn’t ring true. While there are countless houses currently for sale in this school district, there is little or no buyer interest in purchasing them. Perhaps any prospective buyers are turned off by the high school taxes they fi nd here?

We will vote “no” on this extremely well-padded technology referendum for the above reasons.

We urge everyone to consider the real facts about this referendum, and vote “No” on Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Technology is the key I was disappointed to read your editorial urging a “no” vote on the Eastern Carver County technology levy referendum.

As a former Carver County school board chair, I strongly believe that to better serve today’s student, education must be personalized to best meet individual student’s needs in both learning style and content.

Technology is the key to doing so.

By incorporating world-wide resources and expanding the classroom beyond its walls, curriculum programs can be tailored to most effectively address students as individual learners.

Without up-to-date technology and its classroom possibilities, we are shortchanging our students as they enter college or the world of work. I certainly hope your readers vote “yes” on Nov. 8 to help our students compete in the fast changing world they are living in.

Michele Helgen Minneapolis

Need to prepare our children In response to Mr. Darin Anderson’s letter last week entitled “Technology over teachers,” I take issue with his broad statements. I have worked in the tech industry for 20 years, currently at Microsoft.

My kids proudly attend the District 112 schools and I do think that technology in education is critically important.

Instead of throwing barbs and projecting hypothetical futures, I prefer to be part of the present solution. I volunteer as a cyber-safety educator and with the PTO. I have seen firsthand the constraints in

For the seller it is a catch 22.

Banks have trained card holders to use them relentlessly. Rewards are given to the card holder ranging from air miles, gifts, cash back, zero interest and more.

If a seller does not accept credit cards, sales can be lost. It has become risky to accept checks due to the increase of bad check passing in recent years. Bad checks mean the seller not only loses the income but is also hit with a bad check return fee. This may result with loss greater than cost of the item(s).

There are several different types of plastic: rewards cards, corporate

cards, regular credit cards and debit/check cards. Each of the different types of cards carries with them sliding scale processing fees to the seller. The reason fees climb with the variety of cards? The seller is actually paying, at least in part, for all those perks on top of ever increasing processing fees.

The larger the business, the greater volume of sales, results in lowered rates they have for processing fees. Box store mega corporations have bargaining chips to obtain low card processing rates through negotiations and competitive shopping among the variety of processors out there.

However, the small independent merchant has no such bargaining chip and has always paid higher rates to accept plastic. Worse,

there are times when the small independent merchant can go “in the hole” when a customer pays with a credit card, especially a rewards card. For example; an item is put on sale, at cost or just a bit over cost. The customer pays with a rewards card and the seller loses money because processing fees and the seller’s part of the tab for the perk, dips the income below the seller’s cost.

Banks are presently increasing and adding new fees to everyone in general. This applies to card processing. Banks change rates twice a year. Now add in new mandates by the government regarding card processing that enact yet more fees and time consuming hoops to jump through to the seller and the result has to be increased

prices or go into debt and out of business.

To ease this a bit for the seller, new federal mandates allow the seller to control which form of plastic customers can use in their place of business. Prior to this change, sellers were required by contractual law to accept all types of cards regardless of how much they might loose on the transaction.

Customers should be aware of this so when they use their credit cards, especially at a small independent shop, they understand the ramifications to that merchant.

We are steadily loosing small quaint shops all across this country because of the rising costs just to be in business. Even so small shops are happy to accept credit cards of all types, when purchases are large

the middle school caused by unreliable technology and the disjointed testing process due to too few workstations. I recently learned of a tech equipment grant a teacher received but the district infrastructure cannot support it. I challenge Mr. Anderson to join me by sharing his expertise to make our schools better, and to reconsider his position on the upcoming technology referendum. I know I will be voting ‘yes’ on Nov. 8.

Why? First, the proposed school technology referendum is not as an ‘either/or’ but rather a combined solution. I wonder if Mr. Anderson has read the 10-year plan or has attended one of the presentations

by Superintendent Bauck? I did and. Bauck stated that the technology needs are in support of the curriculum, not a replacement for teachers.

Second, I shared one of Mr. Anderson’s concerns, technology training for the teachers. I challenged the superintendent on this topic and he explained that the law requires the referendum funds be spent only on capital expenditures and that the training is an expense included in the existing district budget plan. I was impressed by the fact that each school has designated teachers who act as a technology ‘super users’ in each school. This is a sound approach, one that mirrors the successful technology projects I see daily at work.

Lastly, Mr. Anderson claims that there is no data to support Bauck’s proposal. After a bit of online research (akin to what our kids need to do for school) I found that as far back as 2007, The Economist reported that Robert Kozma, emeritus director and principal scientist at SRI International, stated “technology can make a particularly significant contribution when coordinated with the training of teachers to integrate technology into their teaching … and with supportive curricular, assessment, and school contexts that advance complex problem solving, creative thinking, and life-long learning--skills that are needed to support an information society and knowledge economy.”

We need to prepare our children for their futures, in the information age.

Straight to a computer M a ny p a r e n t s a t t e m p t to minimize the time their students spend in front of a TV with a controller in their hands. Then when they send them to school, the teachers give the students a responder or controller.

I saw the pictures in the Herald (“Technology upgrade comes at a price,” Oct. 20), with the students holding the responders/controllers. It looks and sounds to me like this “technology,” or in my opinion this “boondoggle,” has but one purpose. That purpose is to see to it that the teachers do not have papers to correct because the answers go straight to a computer.

A computer does not teach, a teacher does, so there goes

Taxpayer will benefit Editor’s note: Tom Stauber is president/CEO of Edwards Sales Corp.

Your editorial recommending a negative vote on the Eastern Carver County technology levy referendum is ill-advised.

You mention that a “yes” vote requires “a greater leap of faith from the taxpayer” and look askance at the district’s desire to stay nimble in the fastchanging world of technology.

You would, in effect, require the school district to accurately forecast the future of technology during the next 10 years.

Superintendent Jim Bauck is not Steve Jobs, nor has he ever claimed to be. But, the position you advocate would force the district to postpone a major technology initiative and allow our students to lose years in working with the latest breakthroughs.

Our students deserve better than being held behind in using technology opportunities while other districts’ students lead the way.

We can only hope readers are more responsive to the very real needs of our students and our community. You see, it is ultimately we the taxpayer that will benefit from the education and abilities of our students.

Tom Stauber Chaska

Technology is essential The recent editorial position regarding the upcoming technology referendum states, “… it’s unclear what is essential.” es•sen•tial adjective: absolutely necessary; extremely important What is more essential than well-prepared learners?

The current technology referendum is designed to ensure that kids in our district are wellprepared students able to compete and be successful in the classroom, in future education and careers, and in the global economy that they will contribute to in the near future.

Our community is dedicated to a tradition of quality education. A key goal of our public schools is to give kids the critical thinking skills that they can apply to whatever educational and career path they choose to follow.

Being able to use technology is not optional. It is essential.

The passage of the technology referendum is essential to ensuring that all students have access to the tools they need and a learning environment that allows connection to current materials and ideas, the ability to receive instant feedback, and the means to connect beyond the classroom.

It is essential that voters recognize that all students and schools will benefit from the passage of this referendum and their ‘yes’ vote will allow this district to continue to build on its strong tradition of excellence in education.

W hi le the editors might be busy asking the district to “sharpen their pencils,” the kids of the district have moved beyond pencils and are busy submitting papers via Moodle accounts, using Facetime to practice speaking Spanish with

their classmates, and accessing electronic textbooks to study for exams.

Natalie Larson and Jill Anderson Citizens’ Committee for Technology Referendum co-chairs

Questionable positions The editor of the Chaska Herald has expressed a number of questionable positions in opposition to the proposed technology levy for District 112. Despite acknowledging that technology is “integral to teaching,” the editor chose to hide behind the timeless strategy of asking for more data. As a parent of four children in the district, I believe that the information available is more than sufficient to support this referendum and the cost of following the editor’s direction is too great.

I have no idea what research the editors conducted. However, you need only visit the District 112 website to hear from teachers and students as to how technology positively affects student performance. You can also learn specifically what types of technology is planned (much more than hardware and software), where it will be implemented and see specific projections. You will also learn how woefully behind District 112 is to its neighboring and peer school districts in technology investment.

Most importantly, I implore you to open your minds to the data that surrounds us all. Talk to your children, teachers, and parents in other schools that have more or less technology (even across District 112). From these discussions you’ll fully appreciate that the beneficial impact technology is having on learning is far from fuzzy.

Please consider the technology investments at reputable peer school districts like Wayzata, Edina, Minnetonka, and Eden Prairie. The editor would apparently prefer we wait for clearer data to avoid following these districts down some path of educational folly.

While it would be fantastic to wait for comprehensive plans and studies as the editors suggests, this is a luxury of time and money we simply don’t have. The district is already recovering from $2.4 million in budget reductions from which administration was hardest hit. How would the editor suggest these efforts be funded?

Lastly, because of the economy and the burdens of a growing district, the levy proposes funding levels at a fraction of our peers but necessary to remain competitive. Yes, these are difficult times, and as we strive to provide our children the best education possible, we are forced to consider “Can we afford to?”

However, when surrounded by evidence of technology’s importance and while competing with districts for homebuyers and students, “Can we afford not to?”

Tim Klein Chanhassen District 112 School Board member

Well-intended, but misdirected The local newspapers allowed a g uest commentary a few weeks ago by a well-in-

tended resident, Kristi Jackson (“Voting ‘no’ to enact change,” Oct. 2 0). I write the words “well-intended” purposefully because Jackson feels that a ‘no’ vote for the technology levy is needed to bring about change in the district regarding perceived or real inequities between the two high schools.

Voting ‘no’ for her stated reasons is often referred to as a symbolic vote. Symbolic votes are well-intended, but misdirected in my opinion. Jackson cites a number of concerns all of which I cannot address due to space limitations.

Chanhassen High School has newer facilities and more advanced technology. If one looks at the technology plan Chaska High School will benefit more than Chanhassen in the first two years, rightfully so. In speaking with district officials items such as the tennis courts, track, hall lockers, etc. at Chaska are on the capital improvement list for either this year or next and a 10-year facilities plan is in the works to further ensure equity.

Test sc ores – Yes t he state math test discrepancy between the two high schools is 17 points. Next year will be the initial year all students are required to take a math course beyond Algebra II. Let’s look at the math scores as this requirement takes place. It is important to note that Chaska and Chanhassen are even on the state reading test scores.

The enrollment discrepancy is noticeable, yet part of the discrepancy is due to the Alternative Learning Program being housed at Chanhassen High School. Also the boundaries were drawn before the collapse of the housing market.

Hindsight is 20-20. Because enrollment impacts program and services, this certainly needs to be monitored.

Jackson advocates for an immediate change in the high school attendance boundaries and that the way to secure that is to vote ‘No” on Nov. 8. Constant transition of boundaries isn’t good for students and there needs to be very solid rationale for doing so before undertaking such changes. Let the district tackle this issue with appropriate facts, figures, and strategies.

In the meantime residents must vote ‘yes’ for technology that is much needed throughout the district and for a referendum that will balance technology opportunities between the two high schools. I certainly haven’t agreed with every decision made over the years, but voting ‘no’ to send a symbolic message isn’t going to help students in whatever school they attend.

Tracy Leggett Chaska

In support of technology Regarding your editorial in last week’s paper, I was initially skeptical of the tech referendum and initiated a meeting with our Superintendent Jim Bauck to discover the vision.

After meeting with him and his team, I am convinced of their passion and the direction they are likely to head with the technology. They have my vote!

I am very biased in favor of technology in education for many reasons but am guarded with the expense if not associated with a vision for its use.

These are incredible times for technology and there are opportunities to reinvent the delivery

‘Tis the season of the mysterious cracked tooth. For those of us immersed in the dental world, the season between Halloween and Valentine’s Day is considered “Cracked Tooth Season.” It never fails, nearly on a daily basis, we receive urgent phone calls from patients who bit into a beloved piece of peanut brittle or caramel candy and low and behold, there went the corner of a molar tooth.

The reason behind this phenomenon is that especially in molar teeth with large “silver” or amalgam fillings, the teeth eventually become brittle after years of wear and tear on all those delicious, sugary and hard sweets. Sometimes ironically, I hear from patients that “believe it or not, I bit into a soft piece of bread and there went a chunk of my tooth.” The reason for this is that piece of bread was the final straw for the tooth to break. This phenomenon of the cracked tooth can be very frustrating for the dental patient. It may start out as a “touchy” or “sensitive” tooth that when a patient bites a certain way, they feel a “zing” or “twinge” that goes straight to the nerve of the tooth, sometimes enough to cause a person to jump from their seat. It may not be all the time and thus can be perplexing. For the dentist, however, we can diagnose this condition quite quickly based on a patient’s description of symptoms. My best advice for someone suffering from a cracked tooth is to keep track of their symptoms by writing them down as far as frequency (how often), intensity (between 0-10 on a 10 point scale), and duration (does it go away quickly or linger and throb?). These are all important diagnostic tools for your dentist to determine the best remedy, usually being a crown or “cap” in order to protect the tooth from breaking down completely, and to protect the nerve inside the tooth from chronic irritation.

A special thank you to my patients who have commented on seeing this column and for providing such positive feedback on the topics. If you have a topic you’d like me to discuss, email me at: doctor@ jordandentalcare.com May you all have a blessed and joyous start to the holiday season.

‘Unity in diversity’ has Christian roots ‘Either/or’ or ‘both/and’ – what is a better estimation when we live side by side with a culture other than the one we are familiar with?

Let us say ‘both/and’ – both American and Latino cultures, instead of saying, ‘There is only one way.’

I have learned from my personal experience, living in the American continent for the past 14-plus years, that in order to belong in the United States, one does not have to pretend that he or she has no culture of his/her own. It is ‘both/and’ – falling in love with the American culture, as well as holding onto the origin of one’s native culture.

Mixing of cultures has always existed. We learn from the Book of Genesis, God said to Abraham, “Go forth from the land of your kinsfolk and from your father’s house to a land that I will show you.” While living in a foreign land, Abraham did not give up his heritage, his origin, his God. We should be proud to call ourselves German, Irish, Norwegian, Chinese or Hispanic. Just as the Irish love Guinness beer, Latinos might prefer Tecate or Corona. It is

Thomas

JOSEPH GUEST COMMENTARY

OK. The ‘melting pot’ does not suggest that the Irish have to pretend ‘I like sauerkraut,’ or a German has to pretend ‘I like Guinness.’

If it is true where a man and woman, become one body and flesh through marriage, yet continue to remain two different people for rest of their lives, then it is logical that two or more cultures are proud of each other and able to work together, yet live in harmony, with one’s own identity.

A healthy approach might be ‘Unity in diversity,’ versus ‘Get used to it,’ if you want to live in the USA. The globe is big enough to be multicultural, and we do not

have to force monoculture.

Marry the American culture and simultaneously have the culture of origin as ‘relatives to visit,’ to rejuvenate one’s life on one’s day off.

In the Book of the Acts of the Apostles 2 we learn about the Pentecost, where people from many nations gathered. Filled with the Holy Spirit, each one began to speak in their language, yet each one was able to understand each other. It is evident, even if we do not speak or understand the language of others, we can express our goodwill, we can communicate. For Pentecostal people, many languages are not a distraction, rather edification.

Jesus Christ chose to be born in a particular culture, space and time. In his humanity, Jesus will always be of Jewish blood and nobody can change that. If Jesus, who is God, will always be of Jewish origin, there is no reason that anyone should let one’s culture and tradition be evaporated in the air.

It breaks my heart that some children of Hispanic origin, unable to communicate

Vatican II document Church in the Modern World No. 58 states,”…the Church has been sent to all ages and nations and, therefore, is not tied exclusively and indissolubly to any race or nation, to any one particular way of life, or to any customary practices, ancient or modern.” The worshipping community at Guardian Angels, Chaska is a testament to it.

States is challenged to serve the Latino population. The answer is not ‘either/or,’ rather ‘both/and,’ welcoming to them to the American way of worship, while simultaneously providing room to worship in a language that is dear to them, just as Jesus probably prayed mostly in Hebrew and Aramaic.

Let us help people to become better, first in their own heritage, and then certainly an American way of life, since Christianity is big

enough to do it.

Former governor at home in Chanhassen

BY RICHARD CRAWFORD editor@chanvillager.com

Whether walking through his Lotus Lake neighborhood or having brunch at a Chanhassen restaurant, Allen Olson may not strike the casual observer as a political heavyweight.

But Olson, who has enjoyed his relative “anonymity” in recent years, has held office at the highest levels of state government and has received a presidential appointment to help oversee international water issues.

Olson, 72, who has lived in Chanhassen with his family since 2006, was on the same ballot as Ronald Reagan and was elected governor of North Dakota in 1980. He served one term, from 1981 to 1984, and then left his political career aside.

N.D. ROOTS Reminiscing on his former political exploits during a recent coffee break at Byerly’s, Olson said the seeds of a politics were planted early by his father growing up on a wheat and barley farm in the town of Sarles, located near the Canadian border in northeast North Dakota. His father was a township board and school board member and would frequently point out the local school house where all the “really important” decisions were being made.

Although he described his father as a conservative Democrat, Olson wou ld later be elected under the Republican banner.

“During the long North Dakota winters we used to argue politics,” Olson recalled. “In order to argue you needed to have two sides. I’ve always been convinced we needed smaller government, necessary but limited taxation and we need to encourage individual initiative.”

His father, a “flying farmer,” also gave his son an early education in water issues. “I flew all over with dad,” he said.

Back in the 1940s, Olson said he was able to get his fi rst look at Devils Lake while flying. At the time, he said, the lake was no more than a “slough.” Today, the lake is several times the size of Lake Minnetonka.

“It’s part of the natural weather cycle,” Olson said about the lake, which now influences water issues throughout the northeast section of the state. “It has overflowed three or four times in the last several thousand years. We’re in a wet cycle.”

A graduate of the University of North Dakota and University of North Dakota Law School, Olson served in the United States Army as a judge advocate general’s corps lawyer. In

1967 he served as chief of military justice in Munich, West Germany.

From 1967 to 1969 he was assistant director of the Legislative Research Committee (now called the Legislative Council), which directed North Dakota’s fi rst study of strip mining, soil banks, and land reclamation.

In 1969, Olson entered private practice in a Bismarck law fi rm.

His legal skills and interest in politics were perfect resume builders for the highest legal post in the land.

In 1972 he won his first of two terms for attorney general of North Dakota. In his first primary, he prevailed by 168 votes over the son of the retiring attorney general.

TWO TERMS ENOUGH “I still feel term limits are important,” Olson said.

After two terms as attorney general, Olson said he decided to throw his hat in the governor’s race when the conservative Democratic governor “he got along with well” decided to go for a third term.

In November 1980, he defeated incumbent Gov. Arthur A. Link. Olson ran for re-election in 1984, but was defeated by George A. Sinner.

He said the experience more than scratched his political itch and he left office without any bitterness and with good relationships with both Link and Sinner.

“When I lost, I never planned a career in politics,” he said. “I had an ego bruise that lasted no longer than 48 hours.”

For Olson, it was a time to make a clean break from politics, and that’s one of the reasons he joined the law fi rm of Fredrikson and Byron in Minneapolis.

If he would have continued his career in North Dakota, “I always would have been former Gov. Olson and would have been riding in parades for the rest of my life.”

In 1987, he left the fi rm to become co-owner of a die-casting company based in New Hope.

He also ran a community bank association for many years.

A lthough he hasn’t held elected office since the 1980s, he still has been active in the political arena.

He served as a commissioner of the International Joint Commission of Canada and the United States, having been appointed to the position by President George W. Bush in 2002.

Last year, Olson backed Independence Party candidate Tom Horner in the Minnesota gubernatorial election.

POLITICAL CONCERNS Olson looks back fondly at the friends he made in political circles who come from both sides of the aisle. He said he developed

friendships with former governors Al Quie and Rudy Perpich of Minnesota and also was friends with DFL leader Roger Moe even though their political philosophies were divergent.

And he was a supporter of U.S. Rep. Jim Ramstad, a native of North Dakota.

Olson, however, shakes his head when considering the current state of politics.

“People have to appeal to the base to get elected, then run to the middle,” he said. “I think Washington has become too distant and money is way too influential.”

After living in Eden Prairie for 20 years, he said he’s happy to call Chanhassen home along with wife, children and grandchildren.

He still is active at his alma mater where he returned last month to participate in a conference regarding water issues titled “History of water in North Dakota: Too little or too much.”

But as far as being on the ballot again?

“I follow local politics and I know a lot of people,” he said.

“But I don’t participate anymore. I’m ‘emeritus.’”

‘Hairspray’ actress grew up with music

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

Therese Walth remembers she and her sister spent four hours in line for tickets to see the Broadway musical “Hairspray” with its original cast in 2003, shortly after it won the Tony for Best Musical. So it was a dream-come-true when Walth, 28, was cast as Tracy Turnblad in the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres current production of “Hairspray.” This not her first major role in a musical performance, but it is her fi rst at Chanhassen Dinner Theatres.

Walth can’t help but be an entertainer.

“With my dad involved in music [he’s the choral director at the University of WisconsinLa Crosse], and my mom being a huge theater buff, I was sort of born into dancing and singing,” Walth e-mailed. “But my parents claim that I was also very dramatic as a child. I remember dancing and singing to my mom’s record of ‘Annie.’

I started taking dance classes around the age of 5, and truly loved it.

“My family lived in Minot, N.D., when I was 3 to 9 years old. While there, I started acting classes at the Mouse River Players Theatre, so the first official play was ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ I was the March Hare, and for some reason decided to add a British accent on opening night. I think we only did three shows. But it was awesome.”

She did more chi ld ren’s shows and sang in a children’s

choir and in church. When her fami ly moved to Onalaska, Wis., she joined Showchoir.

“I spent the next eight years singTherese ing, dancing, Walth traveling and competing with Showchoir,” Walth wrote.

“For those who don’t know what Showchoir is, it’s very similar to the performances on ‘Glee.’

“My middle school instructor and my high school director were huge inf luences on me and my choice to become an educator and actor. But my dad [Gary Walth] and my theater mentor Mary Leonard were the real inspirations. They taught me how working hard pays off and to keep studying and to be patient!

“In college I was very fortunate that the musical theater prog ram was just star ting so I got lots of opportunity to work on my craft. Some of my favorite shows and roles were Magenta in ‘Rocky Horror’; Martha in ‘Secret Garden’; Vicki in ‘Full Monty’; and Eva Peron in ‘Evita.’

“Here in the Twin Cities, I was in the Guthrie’s ‘Two Gentlemen of Verona,’ with the Gilbert and Sullivan Very Light Opera Company. I was Constance in the ‘Sorcerer’ and Ruth in ‘Pirates of Penzance.’ I also spent a semester as an actor/singer/ educator at Climb Theatre where

we toured in Oregon.

“This show ‘Hairspray’ has to be one of my most favorites, because I get to dance and sing my heart out every night! It’s fun to be around such a fabulous group of majorly talented people. Their talent pushes me to be better every night!

“I came to Chanhassen when I was in college and after seeing the incredible quality of the performances, I wanted so badly to be in a show here.”

Q: What’s your favorite musical of all time?

A: “Jesus Christ Superstar.”

Hands down! I love the combination of the musical style and lyrics. There is so much passion in everything in that show! I love it!

Q: What’s your favorite part of the show to do?

A: I love the ‘dodgeball’ scene! I love playing opposite Nicole Chapman (Amber). She is a joy in real life, so that’s truly one of my favorite parts.

We only had about two and a half weeks to prepare for the show before we had an audience, so I would wake up in the middle of the night practicing choreography. Choreographer Tamara Kangas was amazing to work with. And the cast is so hard working that we practiced every time we got a chance.

Q: What would be your dream role on the stage, musical or nonmusical?

A: This was honestly one of my dream roles! Although I would love to play the Chaperone in the “Drowsy Chaperone” or Eulalie Mackechnie Shinn in “Music Man.”

Children’s book gets a boost Website helps creative projects find funding

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

Fed up with the state of children’s literature, Chaska resident and teacher David Harrell decided to publish his own book entitled “Nothing Special.”

Lacking the funds to hire an illustrator, he turned to the Internet and Kickstarter. Kickstarter is a website that brings together creative ideas with people eager to fund them.

Harrell asked for $1,600 for his project and found 23 backers (pledging anywhere from $15 to $500) in a month’s time to turn his dream into a reality.

Less than six months later, his book has hit the market and is available on CreateSpace and Amazon. The Herald asked Harrell a few questions about his experience on the road to getting his book published.

Q : W hat is “Nothing Special” about?

A : “ Not hing Specia l” utilizes shapes instead of people, a nd involves experiences comDavid mon to everyHarrell one, including making new friends, self-doubt, envy and fi nally acceptance of who we are and what we are good at. It is good for young children learning shapes, colors, objects, etc., but also for older children dealing with peer relationships, or for anyone who likes to find hidden items in illustrations. It also makes a good bedtime story.

Q: Where did you get the idea for the story?

A: This story actually began as part of an assignment for a children’s literature class I was taking about 10 years ago.

Writer’s block had me staring at a blank screen, so I outlined some shapes to serve as char-

acters until an idea hit me. I asked myself, “What would these shapes do?” and the idea of shapes “doing” something became the storyline. As ideas began to flow, the ending practically wrote itself, and I was pleased with how it all came together.

Q: Why did you want to publish it?

A: There are a few reasons actually. One night I was reading a bedtime story to my daughter and was shocked at how poorly it was written. I thought, “Even I can do better than this.” So I read my book to her and she liked it. That planted the seed.

But I have always loved books.

Some of my co-workers and friends have published books, and I always wanted to be one of them. Now, I am.

Q: Why use Kickstarter?

A: I wanted to self-publish, but didn’t have the money I would need to pay an illustrator.

I saw a post on a writer’s blog I follow, telling of his success with Kickstarter.com and I was curious. I decided if I can raise enough money, there would be

no reason to put off my dream any longer. And I did it!

Q: How was your experience with Kickstarter? How long did it take for you to have the money raised to publish your book?

A: I loved working with Kickstarter. There are so many creative people out there! It’s fun to see what other people are working on and lend a hand when you can. For me, it took 30 days to raise the funding I needed to publish “Nothing Special.”

Q: What was the process/ timeline after you were fully funded?

A: Amazon Payments handles the processing of pledges, and it took less than two weeks for me to receive the funds to work with after I had successfully reached my goal.

Q: What was it like to see the fi nished product?

A: When I saw the box on my step, I literally ran to get it and tore it open. It was an amazing feeling to see something I started 10 years ago fi nally come to life.

Q: What does your daugh-

ter think about sharing her special story with the world?

A: She doesn’t remember the night I read it to her the first time because she was so little. But she was the first person to see the rough drafts on this current project and gave me some good suggestions that helped with the finished product. It was nice having her involved and, even though it is not a story about her, she is a major reason it exists.

Q: Do you have any more books/projects on the horizon?

A: Yes, I am writing a novel called “Flawless Inc.” which I started a couple years ago but shelved until I could get “Nothing Special” done. It’s a young adult novel about two boys who invent something that really doesn’t exist and create quite a corporate stir.

Q: What do you do when you’re not writing children’s books?

A: I am a teacher of deaf/ hard of hearing students and I also do in-home tutoring and work another part-time job as well on nights and weekends.

Nostalgia sits up front (without a seatbelt)

BY LORI CARLSON editor@plamerican.com

Vanished are the days of bouncing around, unbuckled, in the “way back” of Grandpa’s station wagon with a mouthful of Pop Rocks.

G one, but not forgotten.

Prior Lake resident Brian Bellmont brings back all the best of the 1970s and 1980s in the book, “Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops?”

Bellmont and co-author Gael Fashingbauer Cooper became good friends in the late 1980s while studying at the University of St. Thomas, instantly bonding over their shared fascination with pop culture.

The college buddies excitedly chatted about the minutiae of “Brady Bunch” episodes, sugary cereals from their childhood and cherished toys that surely now would be deemed highly hazardous (think Lawn Darts and Easy-Bake Ovens).

Staying in touch as they graduated from college and moved

sports medicine

into their respective journalism careers, the friends eventually had a Lite-Brite moment: Why not write a book about the toys, tastes and trends they discussed daily?

“We wanted to not only put those conversations on paper, but to fi nd out what happened to all of those things we loved,” says Bellmont from his office in the Rock Creek building in downtown Prior Lake.

Bellmont set out to research the book with Cooper, who now lives in Seattle and works as MSNBC.com’s movies editor and maintains the nationally known pop-culture blog popculturejunkmail.com.

Released in June this year, the book contains 200 memories of the food products, toys, movies, TV shows and carefree experiences of Generation X. Among Bellmont’s favorites are Weebles, the little roly-poly toys with painted images of clowns, animals and pirates.

Though Playskool continues to manufacture them, Bellmont

explains that for awhile, the company – perhaps out of concern that kids would swallow the tiny toys – put out “ostrichegg-sized” versions.

“Those of us from that generation tend to roll our eyes at all of the changes these days,” he says, joking that many of Gen X’s toys were created “before safety was invented.”

The happy-go-lucky attitude of the ‘70s and ‘80s is a common theme throughout the book, with Bel lmont and Cooper pointing out the various shenanigans that would never fly with today’s parents – from the pointy, pre-Consumer Product Safety Commission Lawn Darts to disappearing for eight hours at a time (sans cell phones) to play with friends.

“The best childhood toys are the ones with a little element of danger, but this was ridiculous,” the authors write about Lawn Darts. “Why didn’t our parents just let us juggle chainsaws or tease rabid wolverines?”

All joking aside, Bellmont says the book reminds Gen Xers of a time when there was “a more common existence” – when everyone watched the same four TV channels, coveted the same toys and got subjected to the same commercials.

“Today’s kids have 1,0 0 0 channels to watch. You could have a favorite TV show that your friend has never heard of,” he says.

“Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? ” also touches on how much the toys and games of the past relied on children to be creative.

“Imagination has gone by the wayside with today’s toys,” he says.

From their space in downtown Prior Lake, Bellmont and his wife, Jen, run Bellmont Partners, a public relations fi rm that started in their home in 1996. They have two daughters – Rory, 5, and Maddy, 1-1/2. Already, Rory has been exposed to some of the trends of her father’s generation – many

of which have made a comeback today – such as her “Star Wars”themed metal lunchbox.

Bellmont says he’s continually fascinated by the recycled fads of his youth.

“Many of the people making the marketing decisions today grew up in the ’70s and ’80s,” he says. “Look at all of the things coming back – “Charlie’s Angels,” “Dallas,” “Footloose.”

Though Gen Xers tend to roll their eyes at attempts to recreate their favorite movies, TV shows and trends, Bellmont says he’s happy with anything that helps younger generations to understand the things he holds dear from his childhood.

Bellmont and Cooper – back from a summertime whirlwind press tour, including a spot on NBC’s “The Today Show” – are considering a second book, this time devoted to the 1990s. They also run a blog, www.genxtinct. com.

“This stuff is intertwined into my DNA,” he says. “I get such a kick out of it.”

Q&A WITH BRIAN BELLMONT Q: What are some of your favorite nostalgic toys?

A: I really love Weebles. And the “Six Million Dollar Man” figures were great. They even did spin-offs – they made an Oscar Goldman doll – a man in a suit with an exploding briefcase.

Q: Name some of your favorite ‘70s and ‘80s TV shows.

A: “Silver Spoons” is one, and of course “The Dukes of Hazzard” and “CHiPs.” My wife and I were in Vegas once when Erik Estrada walked into our hotel, and I had to run up and introduce myself and get my picture taken with him. I was giddy.

Q : W h at t h r e e wor d s would people use to describe you?

A: Creative, enthusiastic and funny.

Q: What’s a memorable experience you’ve had since the book came out?

A: I met Kathie Lee Gifford on “The Today Show” right after she pet a lemur.

CHASKA HIGH SCHOOL

Joey Duerr

Sara Wagman

October students of the month

BY CHUCK FRIEDBAUER friedchu@yahoo.com

In cooperation with Chaska High School, the Chaska High School Booster Club recognizes Joey Duerr and Sara Wagman as its Activities/Athlete student for the month of October. This recognition is presented to a female and a male student who are members of a Chaska High School activity or a team.

The acknowledgement is presented to a student who mai nt ai ns a mi ni mu m 3. 2 grade point average and excels in a leadership role in the sport or activity they participate in, while representing the school.

Name: Joey Duer Grade: Freshman Parents: Sallie and Michael Activity/Athletics: Freshman runner Joey Duerr has to date taken first in three invitational meets and during the month of October held the No. 2 ranking by the State High School Coaches poll, unprecedented in Chaska Cross Country history.

Q: What is your earliest memory of participating in running?

A: I played basketball from fourth grade to seventh grade and I would run a little with my

mom. Then in seventh grade, some of my friends were doing cross country and my dad said I should do it, so I gave it a shot.

Q: How do you manage your running with school, homework, family and social time?

A: I run right after school and start homework as soon as I get home. Then whatever time I have left is free time.

Q: What are you listening to on our iPod right now?

A: Anything that’s good really. I’ve been listening to a lot of Kid Cudi lately.

Name: Sara Wagman Grade: Senior Parents: Marilyn and Greg Wagman Activity/Athletics: Senior captain Sa ra Wag man has helped lead the Chaska girl’s soccer team to their highest sectional ranking in recent history. Soccer is a team sport and her tenacious leadership on the field and constant energy has the girl’s team posting one of their highest winning percentages in recent years.

Q: What is your earliest memory of participating in a school activity?

A: The earliest memory was probably starting soccer and basketball. I love playing both

and they’re a great way to meet friends and get to know people.

For soccer, the earliest memory was being the top of our rec league when I was in secondgrade. For basketball, it would be skills night at the freshmen center when I was in third-grade.

Q: How do you manage you r (act iv ity/at h let ics) w it h scho ol , homework , family and social time?

A: It is a tricky balance with a very structured schedule.

The biggest thing is to be organized and stick to that schedule as much as possible.

As a student-athlete, school comes fi rst, so I make sure to write everything down in my planner to not forget it. I write my athletics and activities schedule in the planner too.

After all that, I might have some free time to hang out with my friends, boyfriend and family. Most importantly, I have a great support system.

My parents are a huge part of my success because they are always there for me no matter what I need.

Q: What are you listening to on our iPod right now?

A: “What It Means To Be Loved,” by Mark Schultz; “Stereo Hearts,” by Gym Class heroes; “Take Me There,” by Rascal Flatts.

victoria TOWN SQUARE Watching change and going with the flow

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

What will the Victoria Recreation Center be without Doc Schmieg greeting you with a big smile and a cheery hello?

You’ll soon fi nd out.

After 11 years, Schmieg, 63, is retiring from her job with the city. Her last day will be Tuesday, Nov. 15.

She began her stint with the city of Victoria in 2000 downtown in City Hall, as an administrative assistant, greeting visitors at the front desk, working on water bills, providing customer service and working with building permits.

For the past seven years, she’s been at the customer service desk at the Recreation Center, where she is the fi rst person most people see when they walk through the door.

“She knows everybody,” Ann Mahnke, her boss said. Mahnke is director of public works, and has been parks and recreation director for the past four years.

“Doc’s been here a long time and people feel comfortable talking to her,” Mahnke said.

“Not just our customers, but our staff, too. She’s trained a lot of our employees here. She’s been the go-between for staff here. She sees folks from the morning shift and the evening shift. If we need to get information out to everyone she sees them on a daily basis. She’s our go to person for staff.”

While Mahnke is happy that Schmieg is looking forward to retirement, she can’t help but feel a little regret.

“I knew the day was coming,” Mahnke said, “but the time here has gone fast. At least she gave us notice far enough in advance so we could evaluate the position, see if we wanted to do some things differently.

We’ve been able to time everything right, and replace her with someone as good as Doc. “Hopefully we’re a happy place to be for the community,” Mahnke said. “Doc knows how to deal with people and make it positive. She’s been a great help.”

Doc Schmieg Age: 63 Hometown: Buffalo, Minn.

Family: Husband Jerome “Chubb” Schmieg; daughters Shelley and Tara, six grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

WHAT’S UP DOC? Doris Docherty Schmieg has been called “Doc” for as long as anyone can remember.

It’s kind of a family thing but that happens when your family’s last name is Docherty.

Few kids in the family escaped it.

Although the two youngest girls in the family stuck to their guns and refused to have anything to do with the nickname, her older sister and older brother were both known by their friends as “Doc,” as was her younger brother.

When Doc graduated from Buffalo High School in 1966, she went to the Minnesota School of Business, then took a job with Northwestern National Bank in Minneapolis, and later Northrup King. And she and four friends kept down their living expenses by sharing a house in North East Minneapolis.

“There were only two bedrooms,” Doc said, “so we’d take turns sleeping in the bedrooms, in the living room. It was fun.

We had a lot of parties.”

Eventually, she met Jerome “Chubb” Schmieg who was born and raised in Victoria.

They met in a Victoria bar after her team fi nished its softball game. He was interested. Doc, not so much.

“He was six years older than me!” she said.

He finally wore her down, and proposed to her on Valentine’s Day. Because she hadn’t met much of his family before they

She’s the engine that makes the Victoria Field House go. At least that’s how Ann Mahnke describes Doc Schmieg who is retiring on Nov. 15 after 11 years with the city.

Seated at the desk is Jennifer Christ of Chaska, who Doc is training to take her place. married, she didn’t realize that he was related to most of the people in town.

That’s when she learned there was another Doris Schmieg in the family so everyone star ted cal ling her “Doris Doc” which eventually morphed into “Doc.” That was fine because it goes so well with “Chubb.”

WITNESSING CHANGE After 40 years of marriage and living in Victoria, Doc has seen the small city of 650 grow to 7,600, get city-wide sewer and water, seen the downtown undergo change from a shrinking business district to a renewed and thriving one. The city has added a high school, an elementary school, and recreation center with one, then two sheets of ice, and residential developments spring up where there used to

be farm fields.

“The city’s grown immensely,” Doc said.

Growth can be contentious and from her front desk at the recreation center Doc has heard an earful. During her 11 years with the city, she’s had five bosses, three mayors, and been privy to all the opinions of the community, pro and con.

“But you still need customer service,” Doc said. “I like to ask ‘How’s your day?’ and talk to people. Maybe I talk too much, but you have to respect people and it shows in how you deal with everyone.

“There’s been a lot of changes and not everything for the better but still, you’ve got to remember where you came from. It’s just common sense and courtesy.

“I guess I go with the flow,” Doc said, and laughed. “Even if I want to scream at some

VBOA and SWMetro Chamber call special meeting The Victoria Business Owners Association will meet at 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 7 to discuss a proposal from the SouthWest Metro Chamber of Commerce to manage Volksfest & Art Fair 2012.

The meeting will take place at the Victoria Water Treatment Plant, adjacent to the Victoria Fire Station.

In its current format in the last six years, Volksfest has been alternately and/or jointly hosted by the SouthWest Metro Chamber of Commerce and the VBOA. At the request of the VBOA’s executive committee, the SouthWest Metro Chamber of Commerce is presenting a proposal to resume management of the event for the VBOA to consider.

T he S out hWe st Met ro Chamber of Commerce proposal includes a management fee of $6,700 and 50 percent of net profits. VBOA members will also review and discuss other components of the proposal that include developing an event budget and plan, meetings, and organizing the business expo, art fair, food booths, and a sponsorship program.

In 2010 and 2011, the VBOA had hired an event director to manage the bulk of Volksfest and Art Fair planning and organization. That person has not been rehired.

In addition, the Art Fair had

She remembers that not everyone was onboard when the Recreation Center was built eight years ago.

“It was frustrating at fi rst,” Doc said, “but once we got it going, I think a lot of people just forgot that they didn’t want the Rec Center. There was a lot of baggage, but enough time has passed.”

WHAT’S NEXT? What’s the first thing Doc plans to do with all her free time?

A church service fit for a king and queen On October 16, my husband and I were invited to attend a church service at Augsburg College in Minneapolis with King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway. We had to be seated 30 minutes before the royal entourage arrived for security reasons. Three hundred students from Norway were invited to the service presided by the Reverend Anne Loyning from the Norwegian Seamen’s Church. The king of Norway is the constitutional head of the Lutheran Church of Norway. It was an honor and privilege to sit in the Augsburg College Chapel with royalty and participate in a Norwegian/ English service. We had a wonderful reception afterward with, of course, lefse, Kransekake-an almond ring cake, and other sweets with coffee.

King Harald was born in Skaugum, Norway in 1937. In 1940, the entire royal family had to flee their homes because of the German invasion. Swedish born Crown Princess Märtha fled with her three children, including Prince Harald, to Sweden and spent the following days in Sälen (where my own father was from and where the Vasaloppet originated) at the Högfjällshotellet until they moved on to Stockholm.

From Stockholm, the Crown Princess and her children moved to the U.S. until the war finished.

Stories are still being told today in Sälen of that time in history.

King Harald became the official King of Norway in 1991.

The Weisman’s many facets – inside and out Eclectic art museum more than just architectural gem

BY MARK W. OLSON editor@chaskaherald.com

T

he Weisman Art Museum, on the University of Minnesota campus, recently underwent a major expansion.

For those wondering what the Weisman is, it’s the irregular silver-sided building designed by Frank Gehry which frequently prompts heated debates over, well, how un-Minnesotan it is.

I’m a big fan of architecture that creates a ruckus and gets me thinking.

The crazy shapes and angles of the Weisman make me want to find my childhood building blocks, wrap them in tinfoil, and create my own museum on the living room floor. It’s impossible to take a bad picture of the building.

Move the lens a bit left, right, up or down, and you create a totally different abstract image.

However, the Weisman’s art collection has always been a bit scattered. It’s sort of like the youngest sibling in the Twin Cities museum family that can’t get its act together – the one everyone compares to its more successful, older brothers.

While many of the Weisman’s temporary exhibits have been knockouts, the permanent collection has always left me wanting more.

MUSEUM EXPANSIONS In early October, the Weisman reopened following an 8,100-foot expansion that took a year.

Recent major expansions at the Walker Art Center and Minneapolis Institute of Arts (MIA) have been big hits. The new Walker is like walking into “2001: Space Odyssey.”

All it’s missing is a giant gold fetus, designed by Jeff Koons, floating in an atrium.

Added space for local artists, American Indian exhibits and modern art have made the MIA a well-rounded museum.

So I ventured from the ’burbs to the U of M campus to take a look at the new Weisman. (Hint: Avoid the museum when 20,000 Cornhusker fans are in town.)

Gehry also designed

the museum expansion, improving on his original which opened in 1993. The irregular spaces continue through the museum’s interior, with sunshine bouncing down asymmetrical walls.

ECLECTIC In the past, viewing the eclectic exhibit was akin to rummaging through a purse, trying to find a final quarter for the meter. There’s still a bit of that feeling – hard to avoid with small permanent collections that skip from 20th-century American art to Korean furniture to ceramics.

However, the additional gallery space does a better job of showcasing the museum’s gems.

For instance, Pedicord Apts., restored to its original dilapidated condition, holds a prominent location in the museum. The interactive art recreates an apartment hallway, where one snoops on the neighbors the old fashioned way – by listening through the door instead of Googling them. Outside

out of the corner of my eye as I walked through the gallery.

Other galleries showcase the museum’s paintings by

early 20th-century artists, notably Marsden Hartley and Georgia O’Keeffe. O’Keeffe’s “Oak Leaves, Pink and Gray”

painting remains one of my favorites at the museum.

You’ll also find everything from the world’s smallest Albert Bierstadt painting (or so it seems) to the world’s largest painting of a chicken coop.

There are as many facets to the museum collection as the museum building, and both are worth a look.

Conversations about Ceramics: Curated by Warren MacKenzie in Conversation with Lyndel King

Who’s Afraid of Edith Carlson?: Edith Carlson Works on Paper

Through March 24, 2013

Edith Carlson, a self-described “little farm girl from Minnesota,” went on to become an accomplished artist. Her estate endows the Edith Carlson Gallery. Carlson chose the Weisman for the bequest because she admired the museum’s collection of art by women.

University of Minnesota art professor emeritus and master potter Warren MacKenzie cocurated “Conversations about Ceramics with director Lyndel King.” MacKenzie had an important role in the development of the museum’s collection of ceramics. Selections illuminate his personal thoughts on the entire and diverse collection.

Thanks to a grant from the Korea Foundation, the museum will have a three-year installation of works from its collection of Korean furniture and cultural artifacts given by Dr. Edward Reynolds Wright Jr., who bequeathed it to the museum in 1988.

Charles Wallace and Meg Murry’s (center and right, played by Helena Scholz-Carlson and Brandon Brooks) travel across space and time with their friend Calvin O’Keefe (Noah Crandell) to rescue their father in Children Theatre Company’s “A Wrinkle in Time.” The show is performed through Dec. 4.

‘A WRINKLE IN TIME’ In the tradition of Narnia and Harry Potter, this new adaptation sweeps the audience into Meg and Charles Wallace Murry’s quest to rescue their father across space and time. Filled with strange worlds, stranger creatures and startling revelations, the spellbinding fantasy is faithful to the Newbery Medalwinning mystery, showcasing how a hero’s humanity can be his or her greatest power.

‘ONCE UPON A MATTRESS’ Due to an unhappy curse, King Sextimus is unable to speak.

Meanwhile, his terror of a wife, Queen Aggravian, has taken over control of the kingdom. In an attempt to keep Prince Dauntless single, she has decreed that only the princess that can pass her test may marry her son and no one else in the kingdom may marry until Prince Dauntless does. Enter Princess Winnifred the Woebegone and the Princess and the Pea-based tale unfolds.

Veterans Day: a time to thank the patriots among us F

the Minnesota National Guard in 2002. Since then, he has been on two deployments to combat zones with the 34th Red Bull Infantry Division, totaling 40 months away.

He fought for us – you and me. Brian had to leave behind his family, his friends and everyday comforts for our safety, our freedom and our happiness, never asking for anything in return. He, military personnel and veterans make the joyful memories we are able to make, the securities we enjoy and the reassurance of our safety all possible.

I often think, “What would our country be like if people like Brian weren’t so generous and selfless?” I wouldn’t want to know the answer to that ... So, thank you to all veterans and active military out there.

ar too often we admire a uniformed soldier from afar, put a magnetic decal on our car to show troop support, and fly the flag on appropriate holidays – without giving much thought to the sacrifices that soldiers, past and present, have made.

Veterans Day is a chance to correct that, a chance to think of and thank all men and women who have served honorably in times of war and peace.

Perhaps the thoughts and essays on this page, submitted by area readers, will help get you started … help you think about how the sacrifices of military veterans have protected our freedoms and made America a safer place.

Our thanks once again to all the readers who shared their thoughtful words on this topic.

Enthusiastic but reluctant soldier

and returned to Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo., for training for the new war, Vietnam.

Carl was a World War II veteran, a married student with a child and another on the way when he received papers to report to Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo., to train troops for Korea.

While training troops, son John was born in an Army tent hospital and was delivered to Mom in rustling paper diapers (Dec. 1950).

Carl had graduated from pharmacy school and was now an ROTC commissioned lieutenant. All attempts to transfer to the medical corps were denied. He was sent to Korea as an infantry officer. Once in the country, he arrived at the front a reluctant warrior, thinking of his family. Within a week, there were only seven survivors of his unit. He recalls the mortar hitting too close and the impact. He recalls bodies tossed on top. He was in the dead pile.

Not able to talk, he moved his foot until someone yelled. “This one’s alive.”

He was placed on a stretcher face down, to haul back to the field hospital. The hospital was some distance away. Every time a mortar hit, the stretcher bearers dropped him. Carl thought the grenades on his chest would go off. They arrived safe, he recovered after a year, and for 30 years my dad at times would cough and lead dislodged from his wounds clinked to the dinner table next to the mashed potatoes.

In 1972, son John was drafted

Troop 174 Boy Scouts receive Eagle award Two members of Troop 174, Nick Etzel and Sam Kertzman, recently received the Eagle Scout Award. The achievement is the highest advancement award the Boy Scouts of America offers to scouts.

Each candidate must earn 21 merit badges and successfully complete a community service project to earn his Eagle. Only 4 percent of all Boy Scouts attain the Eagle Rank, according to Scoutmaster Ron Larson.

ETZEL Etzel was recog nized on Sept. 24 at Crown of Glory Church in Chaska. Etzel’s Eagle Scout project involved the redesign and installation of an extensive landscaping project in the cemetery at St. Nicholas Church in Carver.

He has served as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Junior Assistant Scoutmaster, Assistant Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader and Scribe while in Troop 174.

Proud of a local soldier We would like to thank our son, Lt. Anthony Larson, USN, for his continued service to our country.

His Navy career started his senior year of college at the University of Minnesota School of Engineering in 2002. He was commissioned an officer the following summer in Newport, R.I. Anthony was assigned to the Nuclear Reactor Office in Washington, D.C. for the next five years, during that time receiving his master’s degree in engineering. He left Washington for the next 2½ years to train for his present duty assignment, where he earned his dolphin pin and Engineering Duty Officer status.

Anthony is currently stationed at Portsmouth, N.H. Naval Base, where he is the dry docking officer for the Virginia Class Submarines. Anthony was part of the crew of the USS Wyoming during its historic 1,000th Trident ballistic missile patrol. Anthony is a 1999 graduate of Prior Lake High School.

We are very proud of our son and all the men and women who serve this country.

Harley was drafted in 1942 and served in Europe with the Third Armored Division as a tank driver.

He landed on Omaha Beach and fought through Europe until the war ended, returning home in 1945.

Harley lives in Prior Lake with his wife Gloria. Three of his children reside in Minnesota, as well as one in Arkansas and one in Louisiana.

Some girls marry doctors, some lawyers. Then, there are a select few who get to marry soldiers. I am one of those lucky women.

I met my now husband, Colin, shortly after his fi rst deployment.

I knew right then and there he was the man for me. He didn’t talk much about his tour, but we knew, sooner or later he would have to go again.

After nine months of dating, he got the call. His unit was deploying.

Now I understood what families go through. Lonely nights, Christmas, birthdays, weddings, all of it solo. He was in the desert doing the same. Celebrating these while being shot at.

Finally married, we went through deployment number three, and are now preparing for the fourth. Words can’t describe the feeling of seeing those combat boots by the door, knowing soon they’ll be gone.

I get to sleep in our bed, talk with our friends and family every day.

Each day, my husband is out there, risking his life for our family and friends, fighting to come home safe to us. I am lucky enough to not only call Sgt. Rainey my husband, but he’s my best friend, my hero and my soldier.

he was recently recognized by the Minnesota State Fire Chiefs Association with its 2011 Public Fire Safety Education Award.

Gravalin is humbled by the award, which he received a recent Fire Chiefs convention, especially because the recognition came from his peers. “I have the best job in the world,” he said.

Not every day with the fi re department has been the stuff of dreams, however. In his fi rst three years with Chaska, Gravalin experienced three fatal fi res. Those losses burned in his memory and fueled his desire to protect Chaska’s residents.

“Kevin has been a bulldog in the fi re prevention department since long before he got the job [as fi re marshal],” said Mayor Mark Windschitl, who also formerly served with the Chaska Fire Department. “That’s how he earned the name ‘fi re cop.’”

“I deeply believe we have to save people before the fi re,” said Gravalin. “It’s about being proactive, not reactive.”

As fire marshal, Gravalin is the department’s leader in fire prevention carrying out plan reviews and fi re inspections in addition to providing education.

“It’s all-encompassing,” he

said of his job. “I switch hats throughout the day.

“In a typical day I have a schedule and then we get an emergency.”

Gravalin has worked to expand Chaska’s “already strong” fire prevention program, focusing on those most susceptible to fi re deaths.

“The young and the old are the ones that perish in fi res,” he said.

Under Gravalin, the fire depar tment has worked to build relationships with those groups to provide education.

Each year, third-graders take part in a safety program that teaches them what to do to prevent fi res and what to do in the event of a fi re.

The department also partnered with the Chaska Police Department to promote the importance of smoke detectors for Project Stay Alive. They targeted the city’s mobile home parks, starting with Riverview Terrace and moving on to Brandondale.

“We tried to educate folks,” said Gravalin. “And when we left, we knew they had working smoke detectors.”

Now, the department has expanded its efforts and is working their way through the whole of Chaska. Each Christmas in May, members of the fi re department work their way through, street by street, to offer free smoke detectors and installation.

Coworkers encouraged him to apply to join and eventually he did.

“It was two years before they called me up,” he offered.

After going through firefi ghter and medical training, he spent a year with the department and then was brought before the group for a vote. [He notes that they don’t vote on members anymore.]

“It’s a brotherhood, yes,” he said.

“You learn that the most important person in a fi re is the person that’s going to pull you out.”

Gravalin credits his fellow firefighters, family members and even the department’s explorer group all with contributing to his success.

“We can’t do this ourselves,” he said.

But at least Windschitl is ready to give some of the credit back to Gravalin.

“Personally, I think Kevin’s done a great job,” he said.

“This is a pretty big honor,” he continued, referring to the fire educator award. “You’re nominated by your peers and your peers determine who wins the award.”

Gravalin reiterates that he’s just trying to promote fi re prevention as best he can.

“I really hope I never have to go through what I did those fi rst three years,” he said. “I hope none of these guys do.”

“Whatever it takes to make sure everyone has working smoke detectors in the house.”

But Gravalin won’t be satisfied with just smoke detectors.

“Sprinklers are his new niche now,” said Windschitl.

Gravalin is working to push sprinklers in not only commercial and industrial, but also private residences.

“I’ve been a big proponent of the sprinkler initiative,” said Gravalin. “I look at it this way – 3,000 people die each year from fi res. If a drug manufacturer had a drug that could save 3,000 people a year, I guarantee it would be out there.”

And Gravalin practices what he preaches when it comes to sprinklers. “I have them in my own home,” he said.

TEAM EFFORT Gravalin is resistant to being portrayed as any sort of hero, though. He insists he’s just doing his job – a job he couldn’t do without a lot of help and support.

“Without these guys…” he said, shaking his head and looking around the fire station.

“We’re a team. It runs deep here.”

Gravalin’s come a long way since he applied to be on the department more than 25 years ago.

“I knew nobody,” he recalled.

“Some g uys in the Civi l War had barely got of f the boat from Europe and were fi ghting for the Union Army.

It was kind of remarkable,” said fellow parishioner Kent Hasse, who origi nated t he plaque idea.

Some of the men who enlisted were in their 40s and 50s, Hasse said. “It’s more of an economic necessity that they signed on,” he said. A 2 0 0 8 chu rch histor y noted that soldiers were paid $ 250 for enlisting and $16 a month for their service.

He reads the familiar names on the headstones, as he walks between the church and the sanctuary. “These are my people,” he said.

Coleman is researching the 29 Civil War soldiers buried in East Union’s cemetery. He has discovered the challenges the soldiers faced, the families they left behind, and the battles they fought. “To me, they’re really people. They’re not just a stone in the cemetery,” he said.

“Many of our current members can point to a name on that plaque and say ‘That’s our great, great grandfather,’” said Hasse, whose own great-great grandfather, John Adamson of East Union, enlisted twice.

Adamson fought in Vicksburg and on Sherman’s March to the Sea. “Honoring these Civil War veterans connects us with our history, our heritage,” Hasse said.

CROSS COUNTRY

Orlow, Duerr track down front-runner and going for a state title. He had that chance against some of the state’s best at the Victoria Lions Invitational in early October, fi nishing fourth.

“I’d like to hang on. At Par 30, I hung on with the leaders for about a mile-and-a-half. I’m used to them slowing it down at about that point but they sped up instead. I lost contact I guess,” he said. “I’d like to stay with the front pack. I’m just going to run my own race and see what happens.”

The Class AA Boys State Meet begins at 11 a.m. Saturday.

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Jensen Orlow came around a huddle of fans and in sight of the fi nish line. A collective “what” could be heard from the crowd gathered for the completion of the Section 2AA Boys Cross Country Meet Oct. 27 at Lake Marion near Hutchinson.

The Holy Family Catholic senior, who entered the second lap in a pack well behind leader Mubarik Musa of Worthington, tracked down the leader to win the event in a time of 15:51.

Orlow, a native of Jordan, said it came down to running his race and not allowing Musa’s large lead to deviate him from his plan. “(Musa) always goes out like that. That’s how he runs. I knew he was going to come back. I just really didn’t care and I sat back relaxed with the pack. I knew (Chaska’s Joey Duerr) would pull him back in. I just waited for him,” Orlow said.

Orlow and Musa met in the state meet a year ago, but this time in the Class A field. The Worthington runner led that race after one mile, only to fi nish third. The Fire senior placed seventh, trailing Musa by 13 seconds.

This time around, it was Orlow who had more juice down the stretch. He made his move in the hilly woods section of the course during lap two and never looked back.

“About the two-mile mark, a Chan kid and Duerr started to pick it up. We got to a tree around a corner and Duerr and I just went and caught Musa with about 800 meters to go,” Orlow said. “Experience helps in these bigger races. I remember my fi rst state meet my sophomore year I was way overwhelmed. With the bigger races, experience really helps

Duerr, ranked No. 4 in Class AA, outkicked Musa during the final 100 meters to place second in a time of 15:55.4.

For Duerr, it was again about racing smart and sticking to a game plan. Like much of the season, the Chaska freshman has turned on the jets in the second half of the race and the section meet was no different.

“I was more nervous about (sections) than any other race this year. If you don’t make it to state, a whole summer of training is gone,” Duerr said. “It was

a good race. I kind of played it smart. We were all together and there was some pushing and shoving in the corners. Going up the hill in the woods, Jensen surged past and I just couldn’t hang on with him.”

Having been bothered by a foot injury the past month, which forced him to miss a race in Alexandria last month, Duerr said the injury didn’t alter his race at all.

“I don’t really feel it when I’m running. It does feel better today than it did at conference.

Hopefully we’re on the right

track with that,” Duerr said.

Both Orlow and Duerr have competed at the state meet, but never an individual, rather as a part of a team.

Orlow ran the past two years with the Fire in the Class A Meet, while Duerr was on the Chaska state-qualifying team last fall in Class AA. For Orlow, the only change is the competitors and the time of day. Class AA is in the morning with Class A in the afternoon.

“The competition will be a lot harder. It defi nitely will come down to being confident

that you can run well,” he said. “You want to stay relaxed through the fi rst half and then kick it at the end. But you got to make sure you don’t get out too slow or too fast.”

“I think state will be nice.

Usually with state, there’s a pack for the fi rst two miles and then somebody makes a move back in the woods area. It’s just staying relaxed and then knowing you can kick in the end,” Orlow added.

Duerr, like his Holy Family counterpart, has a goal of running upfront with the leaders

While it was Orlow beating Duerr to the fi nish line, it was Chaska who nipped Holy Family Catholic in the boys team race by a single point.

Led by Duerr, eighth-grader Spencer Urick and junior Gavin Bjorklund, the Hawks placed sixth with 168 points.

Urick ran his fastest time of the season at 16:57.7 to fi nish 15th overall. The top 10 runners qualified for the state meet.

Bjorklund, who ran a solid race at the Missota Conference just nine days prior, was even better at sections, placing 22nd in a fast time of 17:05.

Nathan Hewitt (18:08), Connor Hasting (18: 08) and the lone senior Jake Connealy (18:11) crossed the line in pack finishing between 64th and 66th places.

Holy Family Catholic was just one point back in seventh with 169 points.

Senior Joe Salz was 23rd overall in a time of 17:05, while Tony Williams (17:35), Zack Ring (18:00) and Bo Cherry (18:04) were in the top-five for the Fire.

Orlow, Salz, Williams, Johnny King (18 :12) and Weston Holasek (18:31) all competed in the Class A State Meet a year ago.

Holy Family sends a pair of sisters to state

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Maria Eastman wouldn’t have missed watching her older sister, Molly, at the 2010 Class A State Cross Country Meet, for nothing.

This year, though, the Holy Family Catholic eighth-grader won’t be watching, she’ll be competing alongside her sister.

Molly and Maria Eastman each qualified for the Class A A State Meet with top -10 fi nishes Oct. 27 in the Section 2AA Meet at Lake Marion near Hutchinson.

Molly, who placed 12th in Class A last fall, fi nished fi fth at sections in a time of 14:52.

Maria snuck into state in the fi nal qualifying spot out of the section in 10th place at 14:56.

“This was a fast course, so it was nice to be able to see everyone and know where you are in the position of the race.

Michaela (Rasmussen) was out in front of me, so I just kept her in my sight and worked ahead – going a little faster at times and keeping my pace,” Molly said.

“I think our team handled it really well this season. Our team had targets and we had a strategy mapped out. I actually loved this course. I thought it was a really

flat course and it was a beautiful day. I’m just really proud of our team,” Maria said.

Molly, only a sophomore, has quickly established herself in the Holy Family cross country program in just her second year. She has been pulling the pack all season and the section meet was no different.

After two miles, Molly, Maria and Rasmussen all were running together in the top 10.

Combined with excellent runs from Ellie Stepaniak and Aly Anton, the Fire were pushing Chanhassen for the second team spot to state.

The Storm, though, had runners move up, while Holy Family fell back a bit. Rasmussen had severe cramping and did everything in her power just to fi nish. The Fire were third in the team race in their fi rst year in Class AA with 91 points.

It is that pack running upfront that has allowed Holy Family to be able to compete with the bigger competition.

“I can always see Molly, or I can always see Michaela because she’s so tall. I just know in my heart that I can go with them. They push me race after race. I’ve had my good and bad races, but all together I think we work well as a unit,” Maria said.

Shakopee and Chanhassen, which fi nished with 49 and 70 points, respectively, qualified for state.

While Holy Family Catholic won’t send a cross country team to state for the fi rst time since 2006, both Eastman sisters will compete Saturday at St. Olaf College in Northfield.

For Maria, it’s a new experience that she’s excited about.

“It’s going to be wonderful. I couldn’t ask for a better sister or a better teammate to look up to. Sure, we get into our fights like all good sisters do, but she’s my best friend and it will be great to run with her at state,” said Maria.

For Molly, it’s also a new experience – she has a new running partner for the state meet. And it’s pretty easy to tell their sisters.

“It’s been interesting having her. She likes to talk a lot, so she can get annoying sometimes.

But it’s nice to have her on the team because we have a different bond than the rest of the

We’re so close in age and we have an opportunity to do something that very few siblings get to do,” Molly said.

“Last year I had my whole team there and this year it’s just my sister and me, so it’s defi nitely going to be different.

But I think it’ll be a pretty fun time,” Molly added.

The Class AA Girls State Meet begins at 10 a.m. Saturday.

FOURTH FOR HAWKS Chaska had one of its best races of the season, with the top-five runners finishing in the top-33 of 103 total runners as t he Lady Hawks placed fourth in the Section 2AA team race.

Chaska had a team score of 116.

Anna Perrill and Niina Stensrud just missed the top-10

state cut in 15th and 16th, respectively. Perrill ran a time of 15:16.4, while Stensrud had a career-best effort of 15:17 on the new section course.

Juniors Jenna Urick and Claire Bulat weren’t far behind at 15:30 and 15:39, while the team’s lone competing senior, Madison Miler, rounded out the team score with a 33rd-place run of 15:57.

SWIMMING AND DIVING

Storm place second, Hawks fourth at Missota Conference Meet After completing the Missota Conference dual season with a perfect 6-0 record, Chanhassen couldn’t make it a complete sweep, taking second at the conference meet in Farmington Saturday.

Northfield won the team title for the second straight season with 433 1/2 points – the Storm were runner-up with 406. Despite only 14 competitors in

the meet, Chaska was fourth with 291.

Cha n hassen won f ive of eight individual swimming events, but the Gators scored valuable points by winning t w o o f t h r e e r e l ay s p lu s had more swimmers in the top-16.

Kaia Grobe swept the sprint freestyle events in times of 23.80 in the 50 and 52.06 in the

Abby Grover came in at a time of 1:46.70.

Other top-eight individual finishes for the Hawks were Augdahl in the 200 freestyle (sixth, 2:04.79) and 100 butterf ly (1:04.93), Gilliland in the 200 freestyle (seventh, 2:06.18), Dehnke in the 100 breaststroke (eighth, 1:14.85), Grover in the 50 freestyle (sixth, 26.55) and 100 freestyle (eighth, 58.47),

2AAA FOOTBALL

2AA VOLLEYBALL

Two down, one to go

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Cody Kern and his parents had a decision to make – have surgery to repair a torn ligament on the eve of the Section 2AAA playoffs or wait a week, allowing the Holy Family Catholic senior a chance to play two fi nal games.

Following the Fire’s 22-13 victory Saturday over Waseca in the section semifinals, Head Coach Dave Hopkins didn’t say too many words; he called for a ball and handed it to Kern, who made a key fumble recovery late in the fourth quarter. Hopkins thanked Kern for his passion and for helping the Fire move on to the Section 2AAA finals.

Kern’s fumble recovery with less than three minutes to play set up a 28-yard field goal from Michael Roane to secure a ninepoint lead with 1:51 to play.

A Derek Ogren interception off a tip from Roane sent the Fire into victory formation.

“There were no surprises.

They were a g reat football team. We studied a lot on them.

Our coaches did a great job preparing us for them,” Fire senior Tanner Steen said. “They put us in a position to win. They had some great players. We just came out on top.”

“That play means the world to him,” added Steen on Kern.

“He’s got to go have surgery now and we’re going to miss him. He gets that fumble and the team is pumped for him.”

Playing Waseca for the second time in 15 days, Holy Family ran into the same tough effort from the Bluejays that forced overtime in week seven.

T he game was scoreless through one quarter, but the Fire got onto the board on a 35-yard run from Roane off a quarterback option. The senior faked a handoff to fullback Connor Byrnes, sprinting down the left sideline for the 6-0 lead.

Holy Family senior linebacker Tanner Steen (23) tackles Leo Hoehn for a loss on the first play from scrimmage during a 22-13 win over Waseca Saturday.

Byrnes, the starting fullback on the 2010 state runnerup squad, had a season-high 19 carries for 81 yards. He was pressed into a bigger role carrying the ball with Steen playing only defense with a leg injury, while Isaac Savaryn was also banged up in the game.

“I knew coach wanted to run the option a bit. His big thing is numbers. We knew threes would work well, so I knew I would get the ball some. Maybe not that much,” said Byrnes. “They’d rather

me run than Michael. But it seemed like every time he ran he scored.”

After holding Waseca to a three-and-out, the Fire went to the air as Roane hit Tommy Hanson for 20 yards. Three plays later, Roane found Savaryn up the middle for 45 yards. Hanson had a key block on the score, while Savaryn broke a tackle at fi rst contact for the 13-0 lead.

Roane completed five-ofeight passes for 123 yards in the game.

Holy Family had chances to have a larger lead, but two first-half fumbles killed drives at midfield. Waseca cut the deficit to 13-6 on a one-yard run from Zach Gehloff.

Roane got the Fire going on just the second play of the third quarter, rushing down the right sideline 80 yards, stiff-arming Gehloff to complete the score. The extra point was wide left to make the score 19-6.

Holy Family (9-1) appeared to take a 25-6 lead on a fake

field goal, in which Hanson hit Steen for the score. The touchdown was called back, though, due to a holding penalty.

Waseca took the ball over on downs and marched down the field as quarterback Zach Hiller hit Wolfgang Dvorak from four yards out on fourth down to cut the lead to 19-13.

Roa ne missed a 3 0 -ya rd field goal with 3:33 to play, but Kern’s fumble recovery at the nine-yard line set up a second try for Roane. “(Michael) comes through when he needs, too. He’s a really clutch player,” Byrnes said.

Roane had a big day, rushing for 209 yards on 21 carries. Holy Family outgained the Bluejays 469 to 240 for the game.

“It was tough. But every yard was needed. We got a couple of big plays that we needed,” Byrnes said.

One game after rushing for more than 100 yards, Steen said he wasn’t disappointed that an injury sustained in practice didn’t allow him to carry the ball on offense.

“Our offense played great.

We played even better than we did last week (against Jordan) I think,” Steen said. “We won and that’s all that matters.”

Now the focus shifts to Friday’s fi nals against No. 2 seed Minneapolis Washburn (7-2), which beat Belle Plaine 50-33 in the other semifinal. The game will be played at 7 p.m. in Victoria.

“It’s awesome feeling right now,” said Steen.

“It’s really exciting to be still playing. I just like this team a lot right now,” Byrnes said.

2AAA VOLLEYBALL

Hawks win one in playoffs, fall to Shako

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Lauren Nordvold slammed a shot down to the floor early in game three. The Chaska freshman pumped both fists and celebrated with her teammates.

Nordvold was the catalyst for the Hawks in a 3-0 win over Willmar in the Section 2AAA playoff opener Oct. 26. The outside hitter had a match-high 14 kills.

The game scores were 26-24, 25-22 and 25-13.

Her confidence at the net spread like a wildfi re among her teammates. It seemed for every kill Nordvold recorded, the next point would always go to the Hawks.

Leading 17-13 in game three, Nordvold had three kills in a four-point stretch with fellow freshman Sarah Kelly also adding a kill. Erin Schindler served the fi nal eight points to close out the match.

Chaska was balanced at the net with five players recording at least four kills. Kelly Riesgraf and Schindler had nine, while Kelly put down seven and Sydney Franz chipped in four kills off the bench.

A fter winning game one 26-24, the Hawks quickly asserted themselves in game two.

Trailing 7-5, a 6-0 run capped by a Schindler ace gave Chaska the lead at 11-7.

Willmar rallied to take a onepoint lead, but a kill from Schindler, ace from Lauren Aase and a Riesgraf kill gave Chaska the lead for good at 19-16.

Senior Aimee Junget, playing on a bad foot, made a great dig that lead to a point at 21-18 with Nordvold putting down the final two points for the 25-22 victory.

Junget also made a heads up play in the third set, pushing an attack into the back corner for a point at 14-9.

Makayla Wenzel had 41 set assists with Schindler and Junget leading the defense with 12 and 11 digs, respectively.

Chaska’s season did end, though, against top-seeded Shakopee last Friday, in a 3-1 match.

The scores were 18-25, 25-16, 25-22 and 25-20. Individual statistics were not available for the Hawks.

Four Shakopee hitters – Claire Sames (13), Carlee Hoppe (13), Kari Monnens (11) and Rachel Rhinesmith (10) – had double-digit efforts in kills.

Maggie Holcombe had 47 set assists, while Alexandra Berger had 20 digs.

Chaska fi nished the season with a record of 15-14.

Lauren Nordvold (6) had her biggest match of the season, pounding down 14 kills in a 3-0 win over Willmar Oct. 26. Chaska lost in the second round to Shakopee, 3-1.

REGION ROUNDUP

Seven compete at sections for Southwest Christian Brandon Clark, a Chanhassen native, won the Section 4A Boys Cross Country Meet Oct. 27, helping Blake School clinch the section title in a tie-breaker over Minnehaha Academy.

Clark, the No. 1 ranked runner in Class A, won the meet by more than 30 seconds in 15:48.

Southwest Christian had

five runners compete led by freshman Brandon Watchorn, who came across the line in 67th place in a time of 19:20.

The Stars placed 15th of 16 teams with 410 points.

Southwest Christian had two runners compete in Allison Reimer (17:23) and Britta Provart (18:21). Reimer, a senior, crossed the fi nish line in 55th place.

DIVING MEDALISTS Divers Kayla Lindeman and Zoe Johnson finished in the top-six as Holy Family Catholic was eighth with 64 points at

the Wright County Conference Meet at Jerry Carlson Pool in Hutchinson.

Lindeman was third with 282.15 points in the diving events, trailing only champion Jenna Nagy and runner-up Carrie Riss, both of Hutchinson. Johnson, a senior, was sixth with 261 points.

Royals reverse the fivegame decision

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

When Holy Family Catholic and Watertown-Mayer first met Sept. 13 in Victoria, five games was needed. The Fire won the decisive fi fth set by two points, 16-14.

It was only fitting that in the fi rst round of the Section 2AA playoffs Oct. 27, the two teams would again go five games and go to the wire. This time though, the Royals came out on top 3-2.

Maggie Perrel sent down the fi nal point at 15-13 to send fi fthseeded Watertown-Mayer into a frenzy and onto the second round.

It was Perrel, a transfer from Southwest Christian in Chaska, and Holy Family senior Hannah Schonhardt going kill-for-kill against each other all match.

Schonhardt had a matchhigh 23 kills (of the 41 total by the Fire) and two solo blocks, while Perrel had a team-high 16 kills.

Water tow n-M ayer dominated games one and three 25-19 and 25-12, but Holy Family came away victors in game two and four 25-21 and 25-15.

Schonhardt had large roles in each game, spiking down three kills with a solo block in the fi nal five points of the second game.

The senior middle hitter had three of the final points, including a big slam on an overpass, in game four.

Five straight points from Holy Family turned a threepoint deficit into a two-point advantage in game five. Abbie Clough had back-to-back aces, while Schonhardt added a pair of kills during the stretch.

The Fire maintained a lead until 12-11 when the Royals notched three straight points capped by a Katie Boll ace and receiving error.

Holy Family staved off elimination for one point with a Shaye Sutherlund kill, but Perrel got the game-winner to send Watertown-Mayer to Belle Plaine.

The Fire fi nished the season with a 15-13 record.

Emma Fering added eight kills in her final match for Holy Family, while Sutherlund had four.

Betty Sommerfeld had 14 kills for Water town-Mayer (14-13), while Marissa Janning chipped in nine kills.

Belle Plaine and Jordan will meet in the North sub-section fi nals at 6 p.m. tonight (Thursday) at Gustavus Adolphus College.

Big boys of the woods are getting in scrapes Fall is here and I have buck fever bad. The clouds are thick and heavy and the wind is cutting and cold. Ah yes, it must be autumn in the upper Midwest. For the past few weeks I have been out in search of white-tailed deer. Not just any old deer, no I am in search of the bucks. Yes, you know the big boys with huge antlers and swollen and puffy necks.

It has been very interesting spending so much time with the big boys of the woods. Each morning I head out before daybreak. Dressed in my camouflage, heavy boots, gloves, hat, oh and let’s not forget my camera gear. Sometimes I feel like I can’t go anywhere without a big lens and camera anymore.

T he weat her has been steadily changing from warm pleasant autumn mornings with bright fall colors to cold mornings with the landscape covered frost. At fi rst I couldn’t fi nd any buck scrapes. Scrapes are small patches of ground that the males scrape clean with their front feet then they leave a scent by urinating or defecating. They also place scent on the bare earth from their foot glands called the interdigital glands.

About 80 to 90 percent of these scrapes have an overhanging tree branch just above the height of the bucks head. The bucks hook and twist their antlers on the hanging branch with their antlers. They also sniff and lick the branch. Presumably this places a scent mark on the hanging branch. I have stopped and sniffed countless licking sticks, which they are often called, and I don’t smell anything. Obviously I am not equipped to detect the odor.

It is esti mated t hat one breeding buck will make 20 to 30 scrapes in any given area.

Some are small and not well maintained while others are meticulously kept free of any

fallen leaves and are visited about three to four times a day to freshen up the scent. The idea behind these scrapes is to attract females, called does, into the general area where the male can find them for breeding.

Larger more dominant bucks will often scrape across the top of smaller less dominate bucks scrapes, thus taking over the established scrape with their own scent. It is thought that some bucks will produce a string of scrapes across the landscape in which he visits each one as a trapper might do on a trapline.

M o s t wou l d a g r e e t h at scrapes are not related to a buck’s territory nor do they mark the limits of a territory.

However most would agree that a scrape serves two purposes at the same time. First they attract breeding females while at the same time intimidate rival males.

D u r i n g t he p a st c ouple weeks I have seen only a few scattered scrapes during my morning travels through the woods. Then all of a sudden, yesterday morning there were suddenly dozens of scrapes across the woodland landscape.

This marks a huge change in the bucks’ behavior. Up until now the bucks that I would run into would spend much of their time feeding and milling about.

A male white-tailed deer is on the move as the rutting season commences.

Suddenly, like someone flipped a switch, the bucks are not spending too much time eating but rather chasing about with their heads lowered looking for females and making scrapes.

So the abundance of scrapes is clear and obvious sign that the rut of 2011 is up and running. Each and every buck that I am fortunate enough to run into has changed behavior from casual feeding and passing interest in females to full on, forget the feeding and bring on the chicks! Of course this is the moment I am looking for. As a wildlife photographer, the time when the males are concentrating on females is the time that I can take advantage to get close

and produce some great images. Now the only challenge I have is keeping up with the rutting males. They often put on many miles trotting around the woods in search of females in estrus. My challenge is keeping up with them. Of course I am at a distinct disadvantage because they have four legs and they are not carrying 40 pounds of camera gear. Wish me luck.

Until next time...

Chaska Black wins Sixth Grade CCFA title Chaska Black Mavericks played Chanhassen Gold for the Sixth Grade CCFA Championship at Chanhassen Storm Stadium Saturday. It was a perfect fall day to hold the clash of the No. 1 seed Chan Gold and No. 2 seed Chaska Black for the title. Both teams had played earlier in the year with Chan Gold winning 14 -0. In the first half, touchdowns were traded with Chan Gold holding an 8-6 lead at halftime. In the third quarter, the game was played between the 20s, which would lead to a very exciting fourth quarter. Chan Gold scored with about eight minutes left in the contest with Chaska Black holding them on the extra point to still give them a chance. With the score at 14-6, Chaska Black put together a good drive to be stalled at the Chan Gold 18. With a little under two minutes left Chaska Black turned it over on downs. A timeout was called by Chan Gold with 50 seconds left – on the next snap a fumble was recovered by Chaska Black. Chaska Black scored a touchdown and converted the two-point play to tie the game with 30 seconds left to send the game into overtime. Chaska Black won three plays into overtime to win the game 20-14. Chaska Black Mavericks are Mason Kulics, Zachary Gasow, Chance Yard, Parker Woolf, Ian Monteith, Jacob Roth, Mackay Hardy, Clay Atkinson, Dawson Wills, Zion Richter, Joshua Kocher, Conner Clark, Jack Pouliot, Jonathon Sweetman, Andrew Stoffel, Sam Winfield, Andrew Fix, Sean Winter, Skyler Ottum, Connor Souba, Evan Oetter, Jack Wiese, Coach Scott Hardy, Coach Paul Fix, Coach Darryl Wills, and Coach Mark Souba.

Carver-Scott Humane Society I became homeless due to the bad economy. I’m a 1-year-old, calm, affectionate, female cat who is friendly to kind kids and some male cats. I have shiny black hair with a touch of white here and there. After a long day, you’ll find me waiting for you at the door, then I’ll rub against your legs and tag along to the next room. I’ll jump into your lap and stay as long as you sit.

I hope you have wand toys and enjoy brushing me.

This abandoned pet is being housed by the Carver-Scott Humane Society and is available for adoption.

Pipefitter donates skills Chaska resident Jerome Eh resma n of Mi n neapoli s Pipefitters Local 539 repaired furnaces for the needy as part of the 26th Annual HEAT’S ON Program.

The volunteer effort helps low-income, disabled, and elderly by cleaning and servicing their furnaces. HEAT’S ON also acts as a reminder to homeowners that annual furnace inspections should be done to avoid the risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning, according to a press release.

This year 196 volunteers statewide checked and serviced 203 furnaces to make sure they are operating efficiently and safely, and installed smoke detectors or replaced batteries in them. Area contractors Master Mechanical and McGuire Mechanical donated parts and trucks along with the Minnesota Mechanical Contractors Association, which organized the Sept. 24 event.

Shoppers enjoyed savings and treats during the fourhour event. Adults dressed in costume were eligible to enter twice in a drawing for a grand prize at each participating shop.

Spooky Night on the Town is one of four annual events sponsored by locally owned downtown Chaska businesses.

Jeni Schultz of Carver was the winner of the $200 shopping spree. Her name was entered at Linda’s Cellar during the event.

Eight participating merchants each contributed a $ 25 gift certificate from their establishment. Other participants this year were Body Expressions Consignment & Dance, Dolce Vit a Wi ne Shop, Fabu lous and Thrifty, La La Land, Lillians’, Linda’s Cellar, Mixed Company and Needful Things.

Additional sponsorship was provided by Wagner Press and Graphics.

T he l ast of fou r a n nua l events for the year sponsored by downtown merchants will be Hometown Holiday on Saturday, Dec. 3, from 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

This year’s event serviced homes in Minneapolis, St. Paul, St. Cloud, Mankato, and Rochester. It is a national program that was started in the Twin Cities in 1986. Since that time pipefitters in Minnesota alone have volunteered over 30,443 hours, helped 7,122 homeowners at an estimated value of $3,181,500.

The Minnesota Mechanical Contractors Association helps coordinate the program t h rough t he loc a l com munity action programs. In 2006 a HEAT’s ON Furnace Fund was started to help pay for furnaces that needed total replacement.

Homeowners were pre-qualified with the help of local community human service organizations.

‘Spirit of the Saints’ gala is Nov. 12 “Spirit of the Saints” Gala 2011 has been selected as the theme for the Saints Healthcare Foundation’s Gala to be held on Saturday, Nov. 12 at the new Clubhouse at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska.

All proceeds will benefit

the Foundation’s Cancer Care Fund to add biopsy technology and program support to expand cancer prevention education, early screening, and comprehensive patient support services to ease the burden of illness for the one in two people in our community who will get a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime.

Step out for an evening of dining, dancing and delight beginning at 5:30 pm with a reception of complimentary hors d’oeuvres, followed by an elegant dinner, live and silent auctions, dancing to the sounds of The Sevilles, and a special presentation of the Physician Touchstone Award. The gala will be emceed by Ken Barlow, Meteorologist 5 Eyewitness News.

Last year’s event was a huge success with more than 350 guests, including long-time volunteers and donors, members of the medical community and other community leaders who share a commitment to supporting St. Francis and St. Gertrude’s. Through gen-

erous guests, sponsors and donors, the sold-out gala raised more than $127,000 to support the Foundation’s Cancer Care Fund.

The Saints Healthcare Foundation serves the St. Francis Regional Medical Center and St. Gertrude’s Health and Rehabilitation Center in Shakopee.

The two facilities are currently joined by physical space and now have merged their foundations. The merger enables these two organizations to come together in innovative, efficient and meaningful ways to further advance the future of health care – from birth through end- of-li fe - -in our community.

Individual Gala Tickets are $150 per person with a reservation deadline of Nov. 4. Table and other sponsorships are available from $1,800 to $20,000.

According to a Westbrook press release, when told that she had won, Rolstad responded, “Wow – that is so exciting! My kids are just entering

school and what a blessing to let them learn about new technology this way.” Kevin Sharpe, pastor of Westbrook, recently awarded the iPad to Rolstad and her family. “Our experience at the Steamboat Days was outstanding and we are looking forward to investing in our community by serving the needs its people. The iPad drawing was a fun way to engage new people and introduce them to Westbrook.”

Spelling up a storm Paul DiFuccia, of Chaska, was one of 29 competitors in Macy’s national spelling bee in New York City on Sept. 24. DiFuccia, the home-schooled son of Jason and Molly DiFuccia, worked his way through in 10 rounds of competition, spelling difficult words such as “perseverance,” “insurmountable,” “discombobulate,” “rambunctious,” and “extraterrestrial.” With only seven spellers remaining, in the 11th round, he was stumped by the word “chicanery.”

Commissioner named transportation co-chair Carver County Board Chair Randy Maluchnik was recently named the co-chair of the Transportation Advisory Board’s (TAB) Policy Committee.

“Having Maluchnik co-chair the TAB’s Policy Committee is very important in ensuring that our County is well represented in regional transportation issues,” stated Carver County Commissioner James Ische, in a press release.

“We are also fortunate to have Chanhassen City Council member Bethany Tjornhom on TAB where she does an excellent job in representing cities on regional transportation issues.”

DOWNHOME CRAFTS BOUTIQUE Special, unique one of a kind gifts Diane Hentges 60+ Vendors Shakopee Feed Mill 126 Scott Street Oct. 27-30 Nov. 3-6, 10-13, 17-20 Store Hours: Thursday & Friday 9–6 Saturday 9–4, Sunday 10–4

The Policy Committee advises TAB on transportation planning and policy issues.

The committee reviews and comments on the Metropolitan Council’s Regional Development Framework, the Council’s Transportation Policy Plan and the Statewide Transportation Plan, and it serves as a forum for discussing transportation issues of regional concern.

“I look forward to working with local stakeholders and TAB in ensuring both local and regional transportation issues are addressed,” said Maluchnik, who has served on TAB since early in 2009.

TAB is instrumental in shaping regional and state transportation plans, and every three years it adopts the federally funded regional Transportation Improvement Program from projects it selects.

Pictured left to right are Marine Lance Corporal Bruce Miller; SSG Tim Nelson of Woodbury; SPC Bryan McDonough of Roseville; SSG John Kriesel of Cottage Grove; and SPC Corey Rystad of Red Lake Falls. Two hours after this photo was taken, a roadside bomb was detonated, destroying the Humvee the five soldiers were riding in, and killing McDonough and Rystad.

Injured vet honors his fallen friends At 1 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 19, SSG John Kriesel and Jim Kosmo, authors of “Still Standing: The story of SSG John Kriesel,” give a presentation at the Chanhassen Library.

“Still Standing,” reveals the inspirational story of the Minnesota National Guard soldier from Cottage Grove who lost both legs and suffered numerous other serious injuries when his military Humvee was shredded by a 200-pound roadside bomb near Fallujah, Iraq on Dec. 2, 2006.

Kriesel, who died three times on the operating table, wasn’t expected to survive. W hen he made it through hospitals in Iraq a nd G er m a ny to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. doctors patched his broken body together but feared that he would never walk.

Nine months and 35 surgeries later the determined soldier walked out of Walter Reed on two bionic legs.

Kriesel, who lost two close friends in the explosion, committed himself to honoring the memory of his fallen buddies by teaching people the lessons he learned on how to overcome adversity. He speaks frequently with special focus on young people. “You are not going to hit a roadside bomb on the way home,” he asserts, “but bad things happen to everyone, and you need to know that you can deal with it.”

REVIEWS “Northwest Angle,” by William Kent Krueger Cork O’Connor takes his family — his two daughters, Jenny and Anne, his son Stephen, and his sister-in-law Rose and her husband Mal – on a houseboat vacation in Lake of the Woods. He is hoping to have a chance to reconnect with his oldest daughter Jenny, and for the whole family to have time to heal from his wife’s death.

When he and Jenny go off in a tiny boat to a small tangled group of islands where Cork hopes to have a chance to talk to Jenny about her current boyfriend, Aaron, they are surprised by a huge storm with straight line winds in excess of 100 mph.

They are separated. Jenny fi nds herself alone on an island with most of its trees blown down by the wind. Upon exploring the island, she discovers a tiny cabin, partially destroyed, with cans of food, including baby formula. Then she fi nds the body of young girl, shot … and she hears the faint but unmistakable cries of an infant.

Will Jenny and Cork reconnect? How will the rest of their family fare on the houseboat during the storm? Will the men

who murdered the young girl return for the baby? Krueger is a master of character and setting, and the twisted plot will leave you reeling.

“Killing Kate,” by Julie Kramer This is the newest by the author of Stalking Susan, and Missing Mark. Kramer ran the I-Team for WCCO TV before becoming a freelance network news producer for NBC and CBS. Her mysteries are set in the world of Minnesota TV news reporting.

TV reporter Riley Spartz has been taken off the homicide “desk” and is only allowed to cover financial crimes. One day when she is out she discovers a dog locked in a pickup on a hot day, and a crowd forms trying to break into to the car to save the animal.

Eventua l ly a loca l store owner shoots out a side window and the animal is retrieved.

There are some great shots of Riley cradling the dying animal, and her station manager loves the human interest aspect of the story.

Later that day she does get to cover a murder because she and her cameraman are near the address, and it is a house she remembers. It is the house where her college roommate lived. It turns out the victim is Kate War ner, her roommate’s younger sister. She has been bludgeoned to death. One suspect is her boyfriend, who discovered the body.

Riley’s connection to the family helps her to investigate, and her access to the crime scene provides a crucial clue.

Her incredible news reports beat out the other stations, but they also bring her to the attention of the killer.

Kramer puts together a taut, chilling thriller, with twists and turns galore.
