HERALD Discovering winter refuge Rapids Lake Unit shines in all seasons, even the cold one

The prairie is frosted over, the leaves have fallen to the ground. The grasshoppers are long gone and the chickadees are huddling around the birdfeeder. Overhead, the tundra swans are moving south. All those things together can mean only one thing.

“That’s a sure sign of winter,” said Leanne Langeberg, park ranger at the Rapids Lake Unit of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Well, that and the hint of snow on the ground.

There is perhaps no better place to witness the changing of the seasons than at the refuge’s 1,500 acres along the Minnesota River, just south of Carver. But not only does the refuge provide a place to watch the seasons.

Leanne Langeberg, park ranger at the Rapids Lake Unit of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge, loves the view from the hill overlooking the refuge and the Minnesota River.

Leaving, after many historical feats Museum curator begins new venture

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

Mother Nature dumped a heavy, wet foot of snow on Chaska.

“It was very pretty,” offered Lund.

But digging out from it wasn’t as pretty. So this year, Lund will take the look of winter, with less of the work, for the Hometown Holiday.

Larry Hutchings completed his fi rst history project while in grade school. He reconstructed the skeleton of a dried-up mouse.

“I found it and cleaned it up, and then I put it together with Elmer’s Glue,” Hutchings recalled. “At the time, I planned to be a paleontogist.

I was really proud of it, but my mom took it away from me. She was afraid I’d crush it so she put it on top of the TV. But I got hold of it, and she was right. I did break it.”

Thankfully, Hutchings, 52, learned how to take better care of his things since then. In fact, he’s an expert in the field. For the past 10 years, he’s been curating, and exhibiting the vast collections at the Carver County Historical Society and Museum in Waconia. Before that he spent 14 years at the Stevens County Historical Society and Museum in Morris, Minn.

Friday, Dec. 2, is his last day at the Carver County Historical Society.

After 10 years as curator of collections and exhibits, he will head his own company – Museology – where he’ll consult with museums on their collections and exhibits.

“I’ve been making exhibits and things since I was a kid,” Hutchings said. “Table top exhibits, dinosaurs. I was always off on my own tangent.”

He was always interested in the

“The big focus is on birds out here,” said Langeberg. Chickadees, nuthatches, pileated woodpeckers and even the occasional bard owl grace the landscape with their presence.

The refuge will host a bird watching for beginners class on Jan. 7 from 9-10:30 a.m. The class, led by refuge naturalist Craig Mandel, is one of many that refuge volunteers offer throughout the year.

On the other hand, self-led walks allow visitors to explore the refuge at their own pace.

In winter, even a short walk t h rough t he refuge lands can result in plenty of wildlife signs, said Langeberg.

And many of them make sure to bring their parents back and introduce them to the refuge. Seeing families enjoy the refuge together is a great sight for rangers like Langeberg.

“This is yours,” she said, of the refuge. “Come use it.”

For those who do, Langeberg has one word of advice.

“Bring your cameras,” she said. “There’s always something new and exciting.”

It also offers an escape from the hustle bustle of everyday life – especially in winter.

“It’s a great place to get out, get some great winter exercise, get revived,” said Langeberg.

While winter may not be the refuge’s most popular season for visitors, Langeberg said that shouldn’t keep people from making the drive to their offthe-beaten-track locale.

“There are some amazing things you can do here,” she said.

The refuge is open daily from sunrise to sunset and entry is free. The Rapids Lake Education and Visitor Center is staffed during the winter, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. When the building is open, visitors are welcome to come in and check out a pair of snowshoes for free (provided no school classes are using them).

Snowshoes provide a great way to explore the refuge’s acreage. The refuge offers the occasional organized snowshoe event for those who aren’t ready to brave the landscape on their own. The next winter wildlife snowshoe and explore event will take place on Thursday, Dec. 29 from 10:30 a.m.-noon.

Another one will follow on Jan. 23 from 1:30-3 p.m.

Langeberg said that crosscountry skiing and hiking are also popular winter activities at the refuge, although she notes that they do not groom any trails.

“The trail is wide open to explore,” she said.

A half-mile loop trail takes visitors through the forest understory while a three-quarter mile walk will lead to the Carver Rapids the refuge unit is named for. The rapids are particularly visible now that the river is so low.

“The flooding (followed by a large drop in river levels) has created a landscape that is just amazing,” said Langeberg.

Counties eye 911 dispatch merger

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

Emergency dispatchers in Scott County could be taking 911 calls from residents in Carver County – or vice versa – several years from now under a merger being considered by the neighboring counties.

Supervisors from the two sheriff’s offices met with commissioners from each county Tuesday to share steps they are taking to learn what it would take – and how much they could save – by melding the two counties’ 911 dispatch services.

It’s too early for defi nitive cost saving figures, but Carver County Commissioner Randy Maluchnik said following the meeting that he’s hopeful the counties could save up to a halfmillion dollars per year if they consolidate.

“Three to six people on duty, 24/7, that could be a lot of potential savings,” said Scott County Chairman Tom Wolf.

Last year, the counties of Scott, Sibley, McLeod and Carver completed a $125,000 statefunded consolidation study of their dispatching services.

Sibley and McLeod were content with their current situation, Scott County Sheriff Studnicka said, but Carver and Scott thought consolidation was worth a closer look.

“We’re only three to four miles – as the crow flies – away from each other,” Studnicka said.

The counties must determine which dispatch center would be best to close and how technology would be merged.

Two architectural firms are developing schematic designs to determine the costs of expansion at either site. Each center is less than 10 years old and has at least some room for expansion.

There are many models for consolidation, said Carver County Chief Deputy Blair Anderson, who explained that the state study opened a lot of unanswered questions. He said the counties must be very methodological as they analyze how to consolidate the systems.

“We want to make sure we do this right so we don’t leave a mess for those behind us,” he said.

The biggest cost savings will be in the technology, said Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson.

Both agencies will soon need phone system upgrades, which could cost $ 300,000. Between the two agencies, they are also facing the replacement of 15 radio consoles – which cost more than $100,000 a piece. Fewer consoles would be required with just one dispatch center, the sheriffs said.

The Scott County Sheriff’s Office has an antiquated records management system, which would cost $5 to $8 million to replace, Studnicka said.

It is used across the Sheriff’s Office operation. Carver County’s system is more modern and possibly could be shared by Scott County.

Wolf said he called up the Carver County board chairman and other Carver County commissioners a few months ago to gau ge i f t here’d b e

“I kept hearing that some [people] were against it, that it wasn’t going to happen because of political lines and red tape,” Wolf said. “I called up Randy [Maluchnik] and said, ‘Can we take a look at this again.’ He said, ‘In the face of where we’re at, absolutely we should.’”

Anderson, who experienced a dispatch consolidation within Dakota County, warned that the counties will have to be mindful of the psychological impact of a merger on employees.

“Wherever it lands, one group will feel like an outcast,” he said. “We don’t want to underestimate those things.”

Scott County Commissioner Dave Menden said he’s heard both positive and negative opinions on the Dakota County consolidation.

There will always be malcontent, Anderson said, but he found that the overwhelming majority in Dakota County were happy with the move.

Studnicka said the negative comments may concern one city that pays more for emergency response now due to additional vehicles being dispatched.

A nder s on e st i m at e d it would “several years” before a merger could occur between Carver and Scott.

Commissioners gave their tacit support for the concept on Tuesday. Maluchnik said he’s heard of dispatch consolidation efforts failing in other parts of the state.

“If there’s not the political will to do this, we should think about that and let folks know before (time and effort are expended),” Maluchnik said.

There are 31 dispatchers employed between the two counties.

However, officials expect no layoff due to natural attrition, retirement and employees who would not want to be part of the merged system.

Board continues zebra mussels discussion

BY RICHARD CRAWFORD editor@chanvillager.com

The Carver County Board is expected to resume discussions Dec. 13 regarding possible inspections at Lake Minnewashta to prevent the spread of zebra mussels.

Last week the board tabled a

proposal to earmark $30,000 for inspections at the park’s public access next year.

In the meantime, the county is planning to contact the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District to determine interest in supporting an inspection program, County Board Chairman Randy Maluchnik said.

Maluchnik said he supported fi nding a way to help with inspections at the county park on Lake Minnewashta next year. But, he said, he viewed that as a “stop-gap measure” and hoped the state comes up with a more comprehensive plan for dealing with invasive species.

Commissioner Tom Workman, of Chanhassen, said he supports area lake associations that are attempting to keep zebra mussels out of area lakes. Zebra mussels have been identified in Lake Mi n neton ka but have yet to be confirmed in Carver County lakes.

An Eden Prairie man who was allegedly assaulted and involved in an altercation with potential gang ties has been charged with 2nd degree assault, according to an official Carver County complaint.

At about 1:30 a.m., Nov. 22, Chhun Pheakday, 32, of Eden Prairie, was finishing his work shift at the Emerson Company, located at 8200 Market Boulevard, Chanhassen, when he went outside to smoke a cigarette.

At that time, according to the complaint, he was jumped by about eight Asian males who were wearing black and gray clothing that is consistent with the “Tiny Rascals Gang.”

The assailants were wearing bandannas over their faces.

According to the complaint, Pheakday “has some affiliation” with the “Asian Boys Gang.” Apparently, there has been some friction between the two gangs due to an incident that happened at an Eden Prairie bowling alley about one month ago.

Upon being attacked, Pheakday tried to make it back into the building, but only made it into the entryway vestibule, the complaint said. The Emerson surveillance camera captured some of the assault. During the assault, Pheakday received cuts, scrapes and bruises to his face and body. He also had a necklace stolen.

Pheakday was very upset with his necklace being stolen and decided to chase the alleged assailants. Pheakday ran to the parking lot and drove after one of the cars containing the assailants, the complaint said.

As it turns out, the complaint said, the defendant was chasing an innocent man, identified as RBK, who also is an employee at

During the 911 call, RBK said while he was leaving work t her e wa s a white GMC Yukon following him, honking Chhun its horn and Pheakday f l a s h i n g it s brights. RBK said he was scared so he pulled into the Lutheran church at 820 Lake Drive East. At that point, the complaint said, RBK was confronted behind the church by the defendant, who pointed a gun at him.

R BK told Pheakday that he “had the wrong guy,” the complaint said, and RBK reminded Pheakday that they work together. Pheakday then left and drove to the end of the driveway where he blocked in the cars of the people who allegedly assaulted him.

The other people f led on foot.

Other witnesses describe hearing gunshots. Although no gun was located even after an exhaustive search, handgun shell cases were recovered at the scene, the complaint said.

Furthermore, a close friend of the defendant indicated that Pheakday kept a handgun in his sock drawer and had been carrying the fi rearm as of late, the complaint said.

According to the complaint, the investigation is continuing.

Pheakday, who was being held in Carver County Jail, faces a felony level assault charge.

Psycho-sexual evaluation for former GOP Party chair The former chairman of the Carver County Republican Party will have a psycho-sexual evaluation prior to a scheduled February plea hearing on criminal sexual conduct charges.

person under age 16.

He appea red i n cou r t Wednesday and his attorney requested the evaluation prior to entering a plea.

According to a criminal complaint, Zunker is accused of sexually touching the alleged female victim on several occasions between August 2010 and August 2011.

EDITORIAL

Shop smart in town Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday are all behind us. Everyone has finished buying gifts. The calendar is free until Christmas.

No? Still some shopping left?

Well, try shopping Chaska.

Before continuing, let it be known we’re not big fans of campaigns telling shoppers to “Shop Local” just for the sake of supporting local businesses. Not because that isn’t a good mission, but because it doesn’t work.

Unfortunately, hometown patronage isn’t at the forefront of a shopper’s mind.

As we’ve opined before, instead of merely echoing the “Shop Local” mantra, we believe in stressing the “Shop Smart” philosophy.

Hate elbowing through the big crowds? Try a Chaska shop.

Seeking a unique item to send to an out-of-state relative? Buy a gift

found only in Chaska.

Hate the traffic to mallville? Downtown and Uptown Chaska are only a few minutes away.

Besides finding deals locally, shoppers will save gas money and their time – one of the most valuable things this time of year.

This Saturday is the annual Hometown Holiday, when most downtown merchants are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (See related story on page 1.) It’s a good opportunity to check out what downtown shops have to offer.

Enjoy downtown horse-drawn wagon rides, historic Christmas displays at the Chaska History Center; an indoor farmer’s market at the Grand Palms Event Center from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; a visit from Santa Claus; and a 4 p.m. tree lighting ceremony in City Square Park.

Shop Chaska, shop smart, shop fun.

GUEST COMMENTARY

‘Voir dire’ and jury duty

BY MICHAEL BAXTER

Much of the work done in Minnesota district courts involves criminal complaints. The most important decisions in many criminal matters are made by juries, not judges.

Article VI of both the United States and Minnesota Constitutions gives people the right to a jury trial in most criminal and civil matters.

Fortunately, the jury system is a real strength in the court’s goal of achieving justice. In 2010 in Minnesota, over 94,000 people were summoned for jury duty. In excess of 58,000 people ended up sitting as jurors.

As a judge, I give jurors the opportunity to meet with me after a trial is complete. Juries almost always want to meet with the judge.

The jurors, first of all, want to know if I believe they “got it right.”

The decisions of juries are right if they followed the rules and the law given to them by the judge, which is almost always the case.

My experience is that juries do usually “get it right,” and are generally attentive and perceptive.

One question jurors often have concerns the questioning prospective jurors go through, which is called “voir dire.”

Voir dire means “to speak the truth” in French. It is, more importantly, the process used by lawyers and judges to obtain information about prospective jurors.

Judges are most interested in confirming that there is no reason a juror cannot fairly serve on the case.

Since this questioning is often a concern of jurors, it may be helpful to learn about it in advance of being summoned for jury duty. We will look at the purpose for voir dire, the role of jurors, the process of selection, and the role of the judge and attorneys.

PURPOSE The purpose is, first and foremost, to discover any bias or prejudice that would prevent a person from serving as a juror.

Jurors need not be free of opinions or ignorant of facts, but they must be able to set aside those opinions and render a verdict based solely upon the evidence presented at the trial. If a person cannot do that, they must be excused from serving as a juror.

Another purpose is to give attorneys information in order to exercise their preemptory challenges. All parties in a case are allowed to excuse a limited number of prospective jurors without cause.

This is known as a preemptory challenge and typically involves prospective jurors the attorneys or parties believe will not be favorable to their case.

Depending on the type of case

or local practice, prospective jurors may be questioned in a group or individually. Generally, the judge asks questions at the beginning.

Then each attorney (in Minnesota, beginning with the defense) may ask questions. After the questioning is complete and the judge has ruled on any challenges for cause, the peremptory challenges are exercised by the attorneys and the jury is “empaneled.”

The role of attorneys in voir dire is to obtain information from the prospective jurors, not give information about their client’s case. The judge’s role is to assure the fairness of the process, to enforce the rules, and to decide any challenges for cause.

JUROR’S ROLE During the voir dire process, jurors must give answers that are honest and complete. They are required to answer questions that may be personal, private and even embarrassing to some. The type of case will often determine the nature of the questions. For example, in a case of criminal sexual misconduct, questions about sexual abuse suffered by a juror could be asked.

If a prospective juror is uncomfortable answering a question in open court, there is a safeguard in place. Prospective jurors may request to answer questions in private, meaning that only the judge, attorneys, parties and court reporter would be present.

It is the judge’s role to make sure that attorneys are not asking questions other than those meant to obtain meaningful information, and that prospective jurors are not required to answer unrelated questions. For example, it would likely be inappropriate for an attorney to ask a prospective juror about their personal marriage relationship in a trial case about a burglary.

Finally, jurors are best served by asking for clarification for any vague or confusing questions.

Attorneys (and judges) often slip into “legalese,” making questions hard to understand or answer honestly.

HEART OF SYSTEM Jury service is at the heart of an effective justice system. While voir dire can sometimes be boring and repetitious, jurors can help by being honest and open in their answers, and by paying attention to the instructions given.

Voir dire is the first critical stage of a trial, and an important stage for all involved. We thank you for your service as jurors, past or future.

Judges and court personnel strive to make jury service a rewarding experience.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR HOLIDAY SHOPPING

Visit a small local business I would like to invite you to support small businesses in our community this holiday season.

My reasons are many – selfi sh, practical and emotional.

Each time I walk into a Big Box store to make a purchase I am disappointed by the impersonal and indifferent atmosphere. In one such store, the most attention I get is from the self-checkout machine which actually ‘Thanks’ me for shopping there.

Apparently there is no longer a need to greet customers, look them in the eye and thank them for shopping!

There is another way … visit our local small business owners and see what I mean.

Start at Dunn Bros for a hot cup of coffee, and perhaps run into a favorite neighbor who makes this his office. When you walk up to the deli at Coopers you may see Sandy who always offers a smile and a “How are you today?” As you stop at Dolce Vita Wine Shop, you are greeted by name with a smile and “Can I help you fi nd just the right thing?”

While visiting Ace Hardware

you’ll see that it is the perfect place to fi nd your fi x-it items and the employees have knowledge of the products sold there and can give advice on repairs!

Next stop over at Wally’s and chat with Les about the Chaska Cubs and your family while checking out the new stuff, then run over to Mixed Company and catch up on the latest news while enjoying the fun gift items.

Be sure to visit Chaser’s for a smile and chat with Charlie while choosing your beverages – I don’t think that man ever forgets a face!

Need a tan or video help? U-CanTan is easy to get to and Terry makes you feel at home as you walk in the door. Be sure to stop for a bite at one of the great places to eat in the Chaska Commons Center.

If you happen to be in Victoria, start your day at Fresh Seasons and you will be greeted by every employee you run into. (Bonus: They actually know where everything is in the store.) And Dale may even bag your groceries.

Run into Crossroads Liquor and visit with the owners, who are Chaska alumni and always have a smile and a story to share. If you are having any health issues you will be welcomed with a smile at Power of

Life chiropractic and feel assured they do care about you.

When you are ready for a break, head over to Heartbreakers, where you can relax and enjoy yourself amongst your neighbors and see how Krista makes that place rock.

I have only named a few places I frequent and I hope you will consider making your day brighter and more personal while running your errands or are out shopping for special gifts.

You will enjoy the perks of personal service, a friendly greeting and help support the same businesses that support so many causes in our community.

TECH LEVY

Segmented budget is not the answer There continue to be a lot of handwringing regarding the failed tax levy from those who wanted this measure to pass.

Letters to page 5 ®

Create grateful kids through example We talk to many parents who tell us their kids are not grateful, that the kids just expect to be fed, clothed, taken places, cared for, given computers and cell phones, and so on, with no sense of thankfulness. Parents feel taken for granted.

“How do we get them to be more thankful?” is a common question we hear at our workshops.

We give a threefold answer.

First, maybe parents should quit giving their kids so much, and help the kids learn that life is not handed to them on a silver platter. For example, a child who has been given the responsibility for preparing and cleaning up a meal, who understands how much work and planning is involved, and who knows how much time and effort are needed, is much more inclined to be grateful when a meal is served to him or her.

Or a child who instead of getting all the toys she wants, is required to use her own hard-earned allowance to get them, or to buy gifts for her friends, is more likely to feel grateful when she is given gifts.

When you own the responsibility for your own life, you tend to appreciate the gifts and blessings that come your way unearned, or undeserved.

Jim and Lynne

JACKSON REAL LIFE PARENTING

Second, kids don’t develop grateful hearts when they don’t feel appreciated themselves. They don’t learn to thank others because they rarely or never get thanked.

So finding ways for growing kids to truly be responsible for important aspects of family life will help them be positioned to be the recipients of gratitude. When people do important or necessary things, and are then recipients of gratitude, they learn to be grateful when others do important or necessary things.

Finally, we see that kids aren’t grateful because parents have done little to nothing to foster

environments of gratitude in their own lives. Instead of showing gratitude for jobs, parents often complain. Instead of thanking the server at the restaurant or the customer service representative on the phone, parents often remark about the stuff those people do poorly.

Instead of expressing thankfulness for the blessing of family and safety, we tend to take these things for granted. Ask yourself this question: “When was the last time my child saw and heard my exuberant expression of gratitude.” If kids don’t see authentic gratitude in action, they won’t learn to be authentically grateful.

So, be grateful so your kids see it.

Give them responsibility for their lives, and opportunities to serve the needs of others. And express your appreciation when they serve.

Habitually do these things, and you’ll develop grateful kids.

Happy Holidays!

Beyond the platitudes that divide us This Tuesday, Dec. 6, First Tuesday Dialogues will focus on “The Responsible Citizen and the Informed Electorate,” with Minnesota Supreme Court Associate Justice Paul Anderson speaking on “Late Night Television and the Funny Man” as sources of information.

Like all Dialogues programs, this one is sponsored by Shepherd of the Hill Presbyterian Church in Chaska. St. Francis Regional Medical Center is corporate co-sponsor.

People sometimes ask me why a church would host community-wide discussions of divisive public issues.

Some ask because they expect a church to steer clear of “worldly” issues. They expect it to stick to spiritual matters: worship and faith. They view the separation of church and state as dropping an iron curtain between religion and public affairs. Others ask because they are pleasantly surprised; they want to know more about why a church would engage “secular” issues.

My answer is always the same. Shepherd of the Hill is a Presbyterian church, steeped in a rich theologicalethical tradition know as “The Reformed Tradition.”

“Ugh! Tradition? I hate tradition. Tradition is stuffy, hidebound, restrictive, deadly, the opposite of free thought!”

Or not! Try this on for size: “God alone is Lord of the conscience….” Sound like a Quaker? It isn’t. Does it sound like someone who has had enough of a religious strait-jacket? It’s not. It’s a quote from the very first official document of the Presbyterian Church in America. The Principles of Church Order (1786) go on to say “We also believe that there are truths and forms with respect to which people of good character and principles may differ. And in all these we think it the duty both of private Christians and of societies to exercise mutual forbearance toward each other.”

Stuffy words, maybe. But not stuffy content! What is needed more in our time than respect for individual conscience – the call to live by critical self-examination rather than by social or partisan pressure – coupled with good will and patience toward those with whom we disagree (i.e. mutual forbearance).

If we could, we would flood

and local bloggers are still convinced we are cheating our children’s future because we do not have a dedicated technology budget.

A seg mented budget ap proach is not the answer to any technology shortfalls we may or may not have at our schools.

When I lived in Eagan, the district had surplus funds in from a dedicated technology levy, but was short for general operating funds. Naturally, their answer was to pass another operating levy, under the threat that busing would be cut, along with key educational programs to make up the shortfall.

I believe it’s time to stop

STEWART GUEST COMMENTARY

the Internet and roadside billboards calling us all – voters and those we have elected to represent us in the halls of representative democracy – to take the partisan labels to the landfill as no longer of use; to move beyond the pandering whose only purpose is election or reelection; to seek real solutions beyond the ideological assumptions and platitudes that divide us and hold real solutions captive; to forbear with one another on the way to the creation of a more just, more responsible, peaceable, and sustainable society for all God’s children.

Those who forget their history are doomed to repeat it. Those who remember their histories are freed to create something better. Tradition is both our best friend and our worst enemy. A tradition is a friend when it opens the heart and mind for the refreshing breezes of the Divine Spirit.

Traditions that close in upon themselves – whether articulated and conscious or unconscious and therefore unexamined – hold us captive until, in the engagement of conscience and forbearance, we find or create the common ground of a shared future.

Shepherd of the Hill offers First Tuesday Dialogues, “examining critical public issues,” because we believe that the good news (the Gospel) is the reconciling love of God for the world. “God’s reconciling work in Jesus Christ and the mission of reconciliation to which God has called the church are the heart of the Gospel in any age” (Confession of 1967).

As Presbyterians, we take public life seriously in light of this Gospel of reconciliation.

Our tradition invites to see the world both as the theater of God’s glory and the ongoing drama in which the pattern of Christ’s life repeats itself daily: birth, life, death/ crucifixion, resurrection (new life). We believe that the church exists for the world,

passing levies for portions of the budget. As we saw in Eagan, this is not an effective way to fund the entire school system.

District 112 leaders have got to come to the realization that the community has already leveraged its taxpayers heavier than other local districts. In the past, this district has been frivolous with taxpayer revenue. We are now paying the price for that frivolity.

The point I’m making is that by divvying up portions of the tax revenue for specific pieces of the spending pie, you isolate where funds can be used. Some may say that’s a good thing. To have a technology levy, means the money only goes to technology. But any remaining funds are untouchable for something else.

not the world for the church.

The words of the prophet Micah direct us in the attempt to practice conscience and forbearance: “What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God” (Micah 6:8).

But Dialogues is NOT a Presbyterian thing! Those who attend First Tuesday Dialogues come in all stripes and colors. If you’ve not attended because in the past you’ve been stung or assaulted by religion, or if you’ve seen the First Tuesday Dialogues as just another church affair limited to people of a specific faith, the planning committee and I invite you to mark your calendar for next Tuesday at 7 p.m. for a stimulating discussion with Justice Paul Anderson and others in the examination of responsible citizenship.

What those who attend the Dialogues share is not is not a common faith, but rather the unspoken belief in conscience and mutual forbearance in pursuit of “the examined life” that Socrates commended as the only life worth living.

The Rev. Gordon Stewart is Pastor of the Shepherd of the Hill Presbyterian Church in Chaska, moderator of First Tuesday Dialogues, and host of Java and Wisdom.

His commentaries appear frequently on the radio and in writing on Minnesota Public Radio’s “All Things Considered,” MinnPost. com, Star Tribune, The Presbyterian Outlook, and the Chaska Herald.

First Tuesday Dialogue What: Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Paul Anderson returns to lead the First Tuesday Dialogue on civics: “The Role of Late Night Television and the Funny Man in Teaching Civics in a Civil Society.” Jim Bauck, District 112 superintendent, joins Anderson in looking at how we prepare future generations for participation in representative democracy.

Time: 7-8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6 Cost: Free Location: Shepherd of the Hill Presbyterian Church, 145 Engler Boulevard, Chaska Info: www.shepherdofthe hillchurch.com

We’re better served to have generic levies, and allow district leaders to make the choices as to what is necessary. It’s what we’ve hired them to do.

And when they fail, we have to hold them accountable.

I think this is the fundamental problem we see in our higher levels of government today. We budget for specific programs, and then funds are locked into areas that do not make sense during lean times. We’ve seen where this leads us.

Massive debt and ever increasi ng spendi ng a re not goals we want to achieve locally, whether intentional, or accidental. This is our educational system. We expect it to be smarter than that.

StarKids take stage at dinner theater Program places high school actors in ‘Hairspray’ roles

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

StarKids recognizes and celebrates Twin Cities youth who love musical theater and participate in their high school’s music and theater programs.

For Lindsey Turner, 18, of Victoria, the chance to stand on the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres Main Stage in a show was unforgettable. Lindsey and Alex Wahl of Chanhassen are seniors at Chanhassen High School who took part.

“It was so cool!” Turner said.

“I loved the opportunity from Michael Brindisi. I go to see a lot of the shows there, so to be on stage, to have a line, and spend time with the actors was amazing. And I had a huge group of people in the audience.”

T his is t he second yea r that the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres has sponsored the StarKids event in which 100 high school students from the Twin Cities’ area and beyond are selected to appear on stage during a CDT show.

Chanhassen Dinner Theatres’ President and Artistic Director Michael Brindisi said he was happy to repeat the StarKids event for the second year.

“When we did this for ‘Footloose,’ it was an incredible event,” Brindisi said. “Not just for the students, but also for all of us on staff and for our audiences. After our fi rst go at this, we learned what was most important to the students and have made it into an event that will be both energizing and a valuable learning tool without making it too stressful.

“Our intention was to make this an annual event and so we’re thrilled to do this again,” Brindisi said. “There are so many worthy musical theater students in our communities.”

Chanhassen Dinner Theatres contacted more than 100 high school music-theater teachers in the Twin Cities and outstate Minnesota from Albert Lea to St. Cloud to recruit StarKids. Teachers recommended two students from their schools, representing the best talents. In all, 50 schools are participating.

Turner and Wahl received t hei r i nst r uctions severa l weeks ago. They could select their own costumes and were provided guidelines as well as

Alex Wahl and Lindsey Turner of Chanhassen High School made their Chanhassen Dinner Theatres debut on Nov. 15 when they appeared onstage in “Hairspray.” The two teens are among the 100 high school students who were selected for CDT’s second annual StarKids event. Katie Henning and Kathleen Corpron of Chaska High School appeared in “Hairspray” on Wednesday night. the lines they would speak.

At 7:45 p.m., backstage, Lindsey, Alex and two high school girls from Mound Westonka gathered in a small room below the stage to run their lines with Jennifer Jeramiasen, a member of the CDT staff, as Kris Howland, CDT director of public relations, snapped

photos of the students for their school and community papers.

Shortly after the show began, Mark King, “Hairspray” dance captain, came downstairs to the rehearsal room to go over their dance steps. A quick lesson and then it was up the stairs and onto the stage for their cameos, as teens appear-

ing on the “Corny Collins” TV show.

“I wasn’t nervous,” Lindsey said. “Not really. All of the cast made us feel pretty comfortable. I was surprised to see that they have three beds down in the green room so actors can take naps on the days they have matinees.”

Jennifer Jeramiasen runs lines with Alex Wahl, Allie Gruman, Ashley Kershaw, and Lindsey Turner before the show.

StarKids What: Music theater teens take turns on the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres stage in “Hairspray” in cameo roles.

Who: Teens from high schools across the Twin Cities metro including Chanhassen and Chaska high schools When: Tuesday through Thursday nights, November and January 2012.

Cold air balloon

Balloon Ascensions 80: Feet high for Balloon Ascensions Unlimited’s largest balloon. It also has a diameter of 63 feet and holds 120,000 cubic feet of air when inflated.

750: Pounds of balloon and basket can carry five passengers plus the pilot.

6 to 10: Miles is a typical distance for a one-hour flight, but it all depends on the wind conditions.

19: Hours without refueling was one world record set by Balloon Ascensions.

Aeronaut hits sky, even during winter

20 to 2,000: Feet above ground level is normally where the balloons fly, but another world record of 38,900 feet has been set by Balloon Ascensions.

BY DAVID SCHUELLER dschueller@swpub.com

Those out and about in the Minnesota River Valley during recent early mornings might have looked up to see the majestic sight of a hot air balloon.

Chances are the balloon was piloted by Ed Chapman, chief aeronaut and operator of Balloon Ascensions Unlimited.

The business is based out of St. Lawrence Township, near Jordan, and gives people the chance to see the area from the sky.

Chapman responded to questions about ballooning posed by the newspaper, including about his return to the skies after a freak accident early this summer, ballooning in winter, and whether he can spot you from the sky if you wave at the balloon.

Q. For those who haven’t heard of your business, how long have you been operating near Jordan?

A. Thirty-four years. We lived 6 miles south of Prior Lake and moved to Jordan 10 years ago.

Q. You have a new balloon? When did you get it, and how does it compare to others you’ve used?

SUBMITTED PHOTO

This flight was pictured on Nov. 3. Chief Aeronaut Ed Chapman has 20 world records and more than 2,500 balloon flights logged.

A. The newest balloon is only 4 months old. It’s slightly larger than my previous balloons but has a lot more performance in terms of increased lifting capability and lower fuel consumption.

Q. Hot air rises, thus makes a balloon float. But are there any little-known factors in how well a balloon does what you want it to do?

A. The very slight variations in wind direction at different altitudes gives us a lot more control over our flight path than most folks would think possible. Think of the air above the surface as being multiple rivers of airflow moving in different

If you wave at the balloon, chances are the passengers can see you, if they’re looking. Ed Chapman, chief aeronaut and operator of Balloon Ascensions Unlimited, flies in the winter, but generally stays grounded during the turbulent spring. His balloon was seen here flying on Oct. 27, with St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Jordan pictured in the foreground. directions. The challenge is to find the ones that are most useful and maneuver accordingly.

Q. So you fly in the winter – that just seems cold. How do your customers handle it?

A. They’re pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it actually is! Here’s why: Since you’re drifting with the wind, you don’t feel any wind, so there’s no wind chill.

Additionally, you do get some

amount of warmth from the burners. I’ve had flights in January and February where I could fly with just a sweater or sweatshirt, then put my jacket back on when it’s time to land.

Q. You had kind of a freak accident in June, which resulted in you having a hairline fracture to a vertebra. When did you first get back into the sky after the accident?

A. Early August. It was the longest I’d gone without flying

an airplane or balloon in over 40 years.

Q. Refresh our memory, what happened in that accident?

A. The surface wind increased considerably during the course of the flight – not forecast – and during the landing process a passenger stood up instead of staying lower in the basket. She was nearly ejected when we touched down, but I was able to pull her back in. I

discovered the hard way that Newton was absolutely right: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, and in this case I traded places with her. Less than 1 second later, I was out of the basket following a secondary touchdown.

Q. How has business been since then?

A. Excellent! There were a few flights that were rescheduled with other pilots flying my balloon, more that were rescheduled because of windy conditions or those days that were warmer – upper 80s – than what we fly in. By September, the weather had settled down and we were flying as much as any other fall season, if not more.

Q. What kinds of conditions do you wait for before flying?

A. We’d like to see surface wind no greater than 8 to 9 mph and winds above the surface no more than 12 to 15 mph. Naturally, there should be no active or closeby precipitation – rain, snow – with none moving in our direction. These conditions are most likely to occur in the morning after sunrise or in the early evening before sunset, so that’s why you see us in the air during those times of the day.

Q. Since you fly in the winter, do you ever have an offseason when it comes to ballooning?

A. There’s not much activity in April, where you’ll have melting snow, slush, mud, rapidly changing weather conditions, breeziness – that sort of thing.

I have over 2,500 balloon flights, but only about 10 have taken place in the month of April.

Q. If somebody waves at your balloon from the ground while you’re flying above Jordan, can you see them waving?

A. Yes, and we can hear them when they call out to us to “Land here!”

Q. What else should people know about your business that they might not?

A. Twenty world records set and five flights made above 30,000 feet. Two were world records. The highest was 38,900 feet. As far as I know, that’s more than any other balloon pilot in the world. Two years ago, I got dragged, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century and put up a website at balloonridesminnesota. com. Check it out and call us if you have additional questions or want to get a gift certificate for the ride of a lifetime.

Southwest Metro Animal Rescue Poppy (black short hair) and Garrison (gray and white shorthair) are both young male cats looking for a forever home together. Poppy was rescued as a 6-month-old kitten from a hoarder situation. Luckily for Poppy, Garrison came into our rescue and quickly decided to teach Poppy the “kitten” ropes and they soon became fast friends and best buddies, so we’d like to see both boys adopted together. Poppy and Garrison have each had a complete wellness exam, been neutered, microchipped, tested negative for Feline Leukemia/FIV, and are updated on vaccinations.

Adoption fee is $150 per cat.

County barns on display in December The Chanhassen Art Exhibit for December is Ruth Tremblay’s magnificent photo essay of the Barns of Carver County. Ruth will be speaking and selling her 2012 calendar, “Barns of Carver County,” at 1 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 10. Sponsored by the Friends of the Chanhassen Library.

Ruth will share a short fi lm about her work, and the calendars will sell for $15; $5 of the sale price will go to local Carver County food shelves and Mary’s Wish.

They are also for sale at Carver County KleinBanks, Mackenthun’s, Watertown Pharmacy, Carver County Historical Society, Frost & Steam and Who’s on First? in Waconia. Ruth is trying to sell 850 calendars this year, which will raise $4,250 for the food shelves!

Ruth says of her work, “The photographs that will be on exhibit are highlights from past calendars. I began taking photographs when I was 16 years old when I purchased my fi rst 35mm fi lm camera. Photography was a natural extension of my art and painting. I majored in photography and graphic design in college and worked in the field for over 25 years.

“I began using digital equipment exclusively about five years ago. I liked the clarity and detail I could achieve with fi lm and large format cameras, but I couldn’t resist the versatility of digital media.

“When I began photographing the barns in 2006 it was all about getting a great picture.

About a year into the project it became more about fi nding the history behind the historic buildings. I began talking to the farm families and researching the past owners through old newspaper articles, plat maps and obituaries that are available on microfi lm at the Carver County Historical Society’s library.”

HOLIDAY DECORATING Carver Scott Master Gardeners Barbarajo Kuzelka and John Trog recently presented an entertaining couple of hours of very creative ideas for holiday decorating using natural materials at the Chanhassen Library. Barbarajo even used buckthorn leaves, dried purple

ing, and some of the loose materials were shared with the audience, thanks to the Friends of the Chanhassen Library.

Barbarajo presented some fascinating ideas to decorate a wreath – using some mittens and tiny children’s skates for winter, or some orange Chinese lanterns, pheasant feathers, and wheat sprays for a fall effect.

They also used a small birds nest on a branch (remember to put the birds nest in the freezer to kill off any mites that might still be living in it if you plan to use it indoors.) Epsom salts make a great “fake snow” and if you dip the edges of pine cones in watered down white glue, then in the Epsom salts, you can add some sparkle to the edges of the cones. She also used Epsom salts to fill canning jars or small old sherbet glasses half full, then placed tea light candles in them.

Kuzelka showed us how to use a hollowed out green pumpkin as a base for a f loral arrangement. Inside was a small plastic container filled with wet florist’s oasis or foam, then the lower branches were added first, some small pine branches, then the flowers and leaves.

Babarajo has a small artificial Christmas tree which she decorates using some of her mother’s old costume jewelry clip-on earrings, and brooches, with some of the bracelets and necklaces for garlands. It is by far her family’s favorite.

Home for the Holidays is often an eye opener for adult children As the holidays approach many of us are making plans to celebrate with those we love. For many, the holidays are a time to visit and reconnect with family we may not see throughout the year. For many, going “home for the holidays” is an event that is anticipated all year long.

Adult children return home expecting to taste Grandma’s homemade cookies or to experience Mom and Dad’s beautifully decorated home.

For some adult children their visit home may yield some surprises. They discover Grandma’s refrigerator is empty, except for a few items that expired a month ago, and she has not made her homemade cookies. She has also lost a great deal of weight. You ¿nd Mom and Dad’s home ¿lled with clutter, piles of old newspapers and a month’s worth of unopened mail. Suddenly your holiday season takes on a whole new meaning and brings with it questions and concerns. How did this happen? Are they safe living on their own? Should they continue to drive? Is she safe using the stove? Will he remember to bathe? Can they maintain their house? Will they remember to take their medications?

As Americans age, some will face problems with their cognition or thinking. Cognition involves a number of skills, including memory, orientation, judgment, problem recognition/solving, decision-making, attention, sequencing, and frustration tolerance. “Often problems in these areas are not noticed by family until a crisis arises such as a fall or a hospitalization” states Theresa Klein, Occupational Therapist and Dementia Consultant for Augustana Emerald Crest Assisted Living. Often an aging relative may notice problems or changes in themselves but do not want their family members to know. Suddenly adult children are forced to make decisions about their loved one’s ¿nances, health, safety, and appropriateness of the current living

environment.

When a family is faced with these questions they often feel overwhelmed, alone, and unsure of available resources.

Families are often reluctant to “pry”.

They do not want to “offend” their loved one by suggesting they need assistance.

So, they take notice of the situation and continue to check-in and evaluate. “I see families that leave it to fate. Mother or father are left at home until something drastic happens which forces an immediate decision”, states Christine Drasher, Director of Admissions Augustana Emerald Crest. Other families will make their best guess and hope the level of assistance put in place is adequate.

“It does not have to be a guessing game. Families don’t have to wait for a crisis to make a decision. There are signs and “red Àags” that can be recognized

to be able to make the right choice,” states Theresa Klein. One resource that can be assist families in identifying “red Àags” is an Occupational Therapist. By engaging individuals in several predetermined activities the therapist is able to make an assessment of the individual’s cognition, identifying the individual’s current abilities as well as existing de¿cits. Once determined, the therapist can interpret the meaning of the results to the family and caregivers providing them with strategies for care, ideas how they can intervene, i.e. how to compensate for the skills their loved one no longer has, and offers recommendations for appropriate level of supervision to assure safety” states Klein. Klein observes that with information provided by the Occupational Therapists, “families often report an

increased sense of con¿dence and feel more equipped to Home for the Holidays is often an eye opener for adult children make informed decisions regarding the health and safety of their loved ones.”

“The holidays are a huge eye opener for many adult children,” comments Drasher.

“Our phone is the busiest in January after adult children recognize from their visit that their loved one is declining. If families knew there was a way to predict and get accurate strategies to meet their frail loved one’s needs I believe they would feel more con¿dent in their decisions and avoid crisis.”

SCHOOL BRIEFS

WOODEN SPOONS

Students donate fleece blankets Lindsay Broz’s sixth-grade language arts class tied fleece blankets to donate to a children’s hospital. The class curriculum is designed around the concept of change.

During the students’ first unit of study they learned about setting goals, multiple intelligences, learning styles, writing business letters requesting change and worked together to create this project where they could make a difference, according to a press release.

The class also completed a keyboarding course and other programs within technology to add to their toolbox as they learn and grow throughout sixth grade.

“This project was neat because we were all working together to make a difference and we want to make kids comfortable while they are in the hospital,” stated Rowan Hodgins, of Chanhassen.

Students and their families donated 215 pounds of food and $244 to The Bountiful Basket Food Shelf as a result of the project. Students read the book, “Stone Soup” and learned about hunger in their community, as well as helping others through sharing and working together.

St. John’s School honors veterans St. John’s Lutheran School held its second annual Veterans’ Breakfast and Chapel on Nov. 10. Eighth-grade students and their parents served breakfast to about 25 veterans and their spouses, according to a press release from Debi Ylitalo, with St. John’s.

T he veter a n s ser ve d i n World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam War. Pictures from the eighthgraders recent trip to Washington, D.C. were shown. As the pictures of the memorials they visited f were shown, eighth-graders stated their significance.

The veterans also shared some stories. World War II veteran Don Hart talked about how students, some just 17 or 18 years old, were pulled out of high school and drafted them into the Armed Services.

Within six weeks they were in Europe.

“We know from history the basics and how those wars turned out. We listen and learn from those who were there, what it actually felt like to be there. A perspective not always achieved through a history book,” Ylitalo stated.

Baring her soul Carver mom publishes fourth Chicken Soup for the Soul story

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

The old adage “Write what you know” has worked wonders for Carver mom Sara Matson. She recently celebrated the publishing of her fourth piece in the feel-good behemoth Chicken Soup for the Sou l series.

“It’s always exciting to see something in print,” she said.

“It’s a little like winning a treasure hunt.”

M a t s o n’s n e w e s t s t o r y chronicles how she coped with the loss of her fi rst pregnancy by creating bed rest bags for expectant mothers stuck in the hospital. It is one of the 101 inspirational stories featured in “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Find Your Happiness” released in October.

Sharing her story has been part of the healing process for Matson. Her son Luke was born just 20 weeks into her pregnancy after she spent 18 days in the hospital on bed rest. He lived only an hour.

“It was so scary,” recalled M a t s o n . “A n d t h e m e m o ries of that time are still so vivid.”

A year later, Matson was pregnant again – this time with twins. But the emotional pain of her original loss and the fear of a repeat loss were a strong presence in everyday life. And she couldn’t shake the horrible memories of that long hospital stay.

“It was a very dark time,” she said. “Very depressing.”

Matson fought back against her fear and depression by springing into action. She remembered a care package she had received from a friend while she was in the hospital and decided to do something similar for other moms-to-be.

She fi lled it with things to combat “everything that I hated while I was there” including

Sara Matson recently had her fourth story published in the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series. She is pictured here with her 11-year-old twins Leah (at left) and Chloe.

Leah and Chloe pack and deliver six bags each year.

“Chicken Soup for the Soul: Find Your Happiness”

REKINDLED LOVE

colorful napkins, soft toilet paper, fragrant hand soap and jelly beans.

The fi rst year she brought

one bag to North Memorial in Robbinsdale. Twelve years later, Matson together with her 11-year-old twin daughters

The story about the bed rest bags is just one of four stories Matson has had published in Chicken Soup for the Soul books. She’s also had personal essays published in “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Teacher Tales,” “Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Gift of Christmas” and “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Twins and More.” Today, the Chicken Soup for the Soul series boasts almost 200 titles in print and 112 million books sold.

Matson receives $200 and 10 copies for each story she has accepted into a book.

“I write a lot about things that went on in my life,” said Matson.

“I write a lot about my son.”

Matson rekindled her love for writing after her twins were born.

“I always liked to write,” she said. “I wanted to be a writer when I was little.”

Matson went on to become a teacher instead, but when her girls were 6 months old, she carved out some time for herself by signing up for a writing class.

“My excitement [about writing] came back,” she said.

M at s on st a r t e d w r it i n g every day. Later she joined a critique group and eventually, she began sharing her stories, submitting them to various magazines and book publishers. She wrote about pa renti ng a nd loss a mong other things.

Matson’s son Luke comes up

a lot in her writing. For her, writing about him is a form of therapy. “I think it must be,” she said.

“I’m more of a writer than a talker,” she added. “I like to share that way than verbally.

Maybe it helps to put it down in black and white.”

With her latest story, she hopes to offer hope for others that find themselves in the same situation, to “help somebody through the pain of my loss,” she said.

It’s not all serious topics for Matson, however. She also sells stories to Highlights Magazine and plans to continue sending in submissions to “Chicken Soup for the Soul.”

Now that Matson has rekindled her love for writing, there’s not much that will stop her.

It’s a dirty job, but somebody has to do it Keeping the roads clear for drivers

BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com

John Hokkanen doesn’t have the world’s most glamorous job.

He hasn’t been home for Christmas in five years. He occasionally has to stand eight hours on 100-degree pavement.

A nd hi s Mond ay mor ni ng might start by scraping a dead raccoon off the road.

But Hokkanen, of Cologne, knows this drudgery has a purpose, and that’s to keep the roads safe for commuters.

“That is the No. 1 priority: having a smooth road and a clear road so our customers can get to work without any delays,” the 56-year-old said.

This December, Hokkanen will mark his 30th year as transportation generalist with the Minnesota Department of Transportation — most of them working out of the Shakopee truck station, just south of Chaska near Highway 41. He’s plowed snow over pitch-black roadways, mowed mi les of median and fi lled crater-sized potholes.

“They do such a good job, no one always notices what they do,” said MnDOT spokesman J.P. Gillach.

Of all Hokkanen’s duties and responsibilities, perhaps the least glamorous is removing dead animal carcasses.

Deer, raccoons, sku nks, squirrels, birds — Hokkanen has seen it all splattered across the roadway.

Road kill poses a risk for drivers who often swerve to avoid hitting the carcasses, and it’s MnDOT’s job to get the obstacles off state highways as quickly as possible, Hokkanen said.

MnDOT crew members use pitchforks, shovels and a longarmed mechanism that slips around a deer’s feet to hoist the carcass onto a truck bed.

In highly populated areas, Hok ka nen a nd co -workers haul the carcasses back to the MnDOT station’s compost

It’s stinky job sometimes.

Hokkanen removes a dead skunk from Highway 41 recently.

Minnesota Department of Transportation employee John Hokkanen of Cologne has been guardian of the road for nearly 30 years, picking up road kill and plowing roads in the middle of the night. Hokkanen works out of the Shakopee truck station near Highway 41. pile, where they are covered in woodchips to decompose. For smaller animals, crews dig a hole in the right-of-way ditch and bury the animal.

MnDOT doesn’t keep official records of carcasses, only deer that are reported to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. However, raccoons are definitely the most common fi nd, said Rob Hendel, a transportation operations supervisor at the Shakopee station.

The Shakopee station’s territory stretches from Norwood Young America in the west to the Interstate Highway 35W/ Highway 13 intersection in the east. It heads as far north as Highway 5 and covers Highway 169 in the south. It’s the third largest sub-area in the metro with 380 lane miles, according to Hendel.

In addition to animal carcasses, Hokkanen and co-workers fi nd a lot of other debris on roadways and ditches: mattresses, blown tires, couches, “trucker bombs” (bottles of urine), branches, spilled gravel and rocks. All has to be re-

moved and discarded.

“They never seem to come back either,” Hokkanen said.

“Even if the drawer is full of clothes.”

OTHER DUTIES Hokkanen joined MnDOT in 1981 after eight years in the Army. He found the organization to be similar with regulations and a get-it-done attitude. After two years in the Eden Prairie station he bought a home in Cologne and transferred to Chaska.

When the Shakopee station was built in 1984, he came over the river.

Of all his tasks, Hokkanen’s favorite is snowplowing. While the 12-hour shift can get long, he enjoys plowing and maintaining his own truck. Last winter was a tough one for the MnDOT crew, which at one point of the season worked 44 days without a day off.

“You miss a lot of family stuff,” said Hendel, who lives in Rosemount. “But everyone comes here because they know it’s their job.”

Even more impressive was t he double dut y t he crew pu l led du ri ng t he spri ng 2011 flood.

MnDOT closed the Highway 41 and County Road 101 river crossings in the midst of a snowstorm last spring, forcing Hendel to split his trucks across the river for the remainder of the winter season.

The station crew stood in as 24-hour barricade guards, ensuring no one attempted to cross the f looded highway.

Maintenance is a never-ending job on Minnesota roads. In the winter, crews are removing snow from shoulders and keeping bridges free from ice. In summer, crews rebuild shoulders, inspect culverts, collect Adopt-a-Highway trash bags, mow medians and ditches and clean up spills.

Hokkanen recalled a potato spill on Highway 41 last year.

The slippery potatoes were a pain to pick up, he recalled.

One of the toughest jobs in

the department is guardrail repair, Hendel said. “Nothing works very well when it’s 30 below,” he explained.

Despite the weather and dirty work, Hokkanen enjoys the variety of his job. Hendel rotates his transportation generalists between duties so

everyone has basic knowledge of all the tasks.

That’s not only great on-thejob training, Hokkanen said, but it ensures that no one gets bored — even after 30 years.

“Every day is a new day,” he said. “You never know what you’re going to do.”

Så mörk är natten i midvintertid. Men se, då nalkas Lucia...

So dark is the night in the midwinter time. But see, Lucia draws near…

For my household, this season has crept fast upon us. Perhaps, it was the wedding of our oldest son, Antonio to his beautiful bride, Dana, and two weeks with a houseful of Swedish relatives added to the other regular fall events. Now, Christmas is on our doorstep, starting with Advent and then, Lucia.

There are many legends of Saint Lucia. She was born around 310 AD in Sicily. She was born to a Roman father and Greek mother who were wealthy. Lucia’s father died when she was young. She gave her life to serving the poor. Lucia would buy food for the poor and bring it to underground tunnels where the Christians were hiding from persecution.

She wore a wreath of candles to light her way.

Another legend says that Lucia’s mother, Eutychia suffered a severe sickness and was healed while praying with her daughter beside the grave of St. Agatha who had been killed 52 years before. Lucia was allowed to break her engagement and give her dowry to the poor. Her pagan fi ancée reported Lucia to the authorities and she was tortured and killed. A great famine hit Syracuse and the people prayed to St. Lucia for help. Two ships arrived carrying wheat with Lucia standing at the helm dressed in white

BLACK FRIDAY ALL WEEK LONG

continued from page 1

Chaska’s second annua l Hometown Holiday event will take place Saturday, Dec. 3. The day-long celebration includes sales at participating downtown merchants, an indoor farmers market, history center exhibit, benefit dinner, wagon rides and a tree lighting ceremony.

The event is a mesh of two formerly separate events – downtown sales and the city’s multicultural holiday celebration – that would take place in downtown during the holidays.

Last year was the fi rst year the events were combined to take place on the same day.

“It was a diluted effort for both of us,” said Lund, who owns Mixed Company. “But we put our heads together and made each event more special, more interesting.

“We want to showcase the downtown and showcase our businesses,” she added.

Libby Fairchild, chair of Chaska’s Human Rights Commission and one of the event’s organizers, thinks the combined celebration is a winner for the city.

“It’s such a nice combination of volunteers and business owners,” she said. “It’s nice that everybody supports each other.”

That includes residents that come out to partake in the day.

“I hope they come downtown and have a good time,” said Fairchild. “I hope they get a sense of the community and feel comfortable, included, in their community.”

New to this year’s event is an indoor farmers market at the Grand Palms Event Center at the northwest corner of Chestnut and Second streets. Lund said that eight to 10 vendors are expected to have booths inside, offering everything from preserves to fresh evergreens.

Hometown Holiday will also feature a spaghetti dinner at the American Legion (kittycorner from City Square Park) following the tree -lighting ceremony at 4 p.m. The dinner will benefit Chaska’s Beyond the Yellow Ribbon program supporting families of deployed service members.

The tree-lighting ceremony will include many of the mainstays of the last seven years like visits with Santa and a chance to crack open a piñata. Fairchild said three speakers are scheduled to talk about their holiday traditions in the Hmong, Columbian and Syrian cultures respectively. Choirs from Chaska High School and Guardian Angels Catholic Church are also expected to perform, and the city will give its first Chaska

And back by popular demand, horse drawn wagon rides will be offered. For three hours, 2:30 to 5:30 p.m., free rides will be given every 15 minutes. The rides are first-come, first-served, so those hoping to hop on should expect a bit of a wait.

“We’re excited,” said Lund.

GIRLS HOCKEY

BOYS HOCKEY

Offense on fire to start season

Hawks grasp expectations for season

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

The Missota Conference better take notice – the Chaska/ Chanhassen girls hockey team is for real.

The Storm Hawks improved to 3-0 overall with a 10-0 win over Holy Angels in the championship game of the Prior Lake Invitational Saturday at Dacotah Arena.

Through three games, C/C has outscored opponents 25-3.

The Storm Hawks got a big game from Kaitlin Storo, who fi nished with five goals in the victory. The junior forward opened the title game scoring with a goal at 3:18 of the fi rst period.

Storo added a second goal in the stanza and three more in the second period.

Emma Silkey had two goals, while Casey Lindquist, Jenna Wormuth and Megan Hinze also had netters for C/C. C/C outshot Holy Angels 29-5 for the game. Sophomore goaltender Laura Chalupsky pitched the shutout for her second consecutive win.

In the semifi nal round, the Storm Hawks and Chalupsky routed Holy Family Catholic/ Waconia 7-2 Friday.

Storo and Megan O’Brian each had two goals for C/C, which trailed 1-0 in the first period on a JC Reinke goal for the Wildfi re.

Wormuth, Megan Williams and Sheridan Bargo also had goals for the Storm Hawks.

Williams and Storo had threepoint nights for C/C. Also scoring for HFC/Waconia, which dropped the thirdplace game to host Prior Lake 4-0, was Megan Menzuber.

Chalupsky made three saves for her first career victory.

Carly Bergstrom had 24 saves in the losing ef fort for the Wildfi re.

Against Prior Lake, Amber Galles scored a pair of goals for the Lakers in the shutout. Also scoring were Bailey Halstrom and Michelle Jeurissen.

Lexi Hartman, making her second start this season for HFC/Waconia, took the loss, making 13 saves.

last season, which included 6-3 and 4-3 wins over runner-up Chaska/Chanhassen.

The Storm Hawks, though, acted a little revenge Nov. 22, beating the host Tigers 8-1 at Schmitz-Maki Arena. It was the first game under new coach Tracy Cassano, who moved over from Rosemount this offseason.

C/C jumped out to a 4-0 lead through one period as Brenna Lervick, O’Brian and Morgan Morse scored less than three minutes apart midway through

the stanza to extend the lead to four goals.

The Storm Hawks got on the board just 31 seconds into the season opener on an unassisted goal from Silkey.

Farming ton cut the lead to 4-1 at the 5:17 mark of the second period with a powerplay goal, but C/C responded 63 seconds later on a Morse rebound goal. It was the fi rst career varsity game for the eighth-grader.

The advantage went to 6-1 on

an O’Brian power-play goal at the 9:32 mark of the second period. O’Brian led the Storm Hawks with a three-point evening.

C/C added two more goals for the fi nal score of 8-1 with Storo and Wormuth scoring for the Storm Hawks.

Carly Van Orden earned the win for C/C in the nets with 20 saves.

DANCE TEAM

Hawks eager for new challenge

BY KARA NOTVEDT

The Chaska dance team is one to defy the odds, whether it is through their innovative choreog raphy and musical selections, determined work ethic, or highly competitive tournament schedule.

Each year presents a new opportunity for the team to express their individuality. Music is a key component to the team’s outcomes, as it must be backed with movements and sequences of steps that can be syncopated with a large number of girls. In addition, the use of the gym floor for formational purposes sets Chaska apart, as each person has a designated spot during each split second of the dance.

Looking back at last year, the varsity kick team took second place at the Section 2AAA tournament, arguably the toughest section in the state. They beat out major schools such as Maple Grove, Hopkins, Minnetonka, and respected rival Chanhassen. Varsity jazz took on similar accolades, placing third among 13 teams to advance to the state tournament at the Target Center.

At State, both squads competed in prelims and finals.

Jazz ended up fourth behind Maple Grove, Wayzata, and Eastview, while kick took fi fth place. The team also took the title of champions of the Missota Conference – their first year after switching from the Lake Conference.

Who to watch Twenty-five teams will be in attendance this Saturday for the first-ever Chaska Dance Team Invitational at 10 a.m. Saturday at the high school. Some of the top Class AA teams to watch beside Chaska are 2011 state finalists Benilde-St. Margaret, TotinoGrace, St. Cloud Cathedral, Holy Family Catholic, SartellSt. Stephen, Faribault as well as Simley and Marshall.

This year brings forth a new adventure as the team was moved to Class AA due to school enrollment. However, the competition is just as fierce, if not more difficult. AA schools show precision and unity as a whole, aspects the Hawks look to perfect over the course of the season. In addition to incorporating a passion for dance with fun on a regular basis, their goals highlight being successful in their new classification, making a mark and impact on AA territory, and dancing at state finals in both kick and jazz.

One goal has already almost been completed with the addition of dance studio space into the Cardio Room and Auxiliary Gym at Chaska High School, which includes mirrors, ballet bars, and proper flooring.

Head Coach of the team is Kris Rydland with varsity as-

Chaska has six seniors on its dance roster this season. They are from left, Kara Notvedt, Jackie Schneider, Kaitlyn Givens, Alyson Pulvermacher, Maddy Carriveau and Casey Stone. sistant coaches including Jill Kleeve and Tara Lindemeier.

It is through their combination of dedication, hard work, and commitment that the team has been as successful as ever and grown beyond bounds over the past few years. Each one brings a unique aspect to the team, making it a fun atmosphere and learning environment.

Captains of the team include seniors Jackie Schneider and Kara Notvedt, both fiveyear team members. They have been a major component to preparing the team for the fast-paced competition season. Not only do they demonstrate leadership in dance settings, but also serve as role models outside of the sport in school, clubs, and other activities. Both are members of the National Honor Society and

DECA business organization.

Other seniors on the team include five-year member Alyson Pulvermacher; four-year members Casey Stone and Maddy Cariveau; and three-year veteran Kaitlyn Givens.

Schneider and Stone were selected to the all-conference team and Class AAA all-tournament teams a year ago.

The Chaska dance team competitive schedule is full of many conference meets and invitationals. As a member of the Missota Conference, six teams duel every week (in either kick or jazz) and have a fi nal championship in the middle of January. Conference competitive rivals include Academy of Holy Angels, Farmington, and Chanhassen high schools.

The fi rst conference match was Nov. 29 with the second meet at Northfield Dec. 8.

Chaska is also hosting its fi rst Chaska Invitational this Saturday with a variety of A, AA, and AAA teams. The dance team will also host a conference event Dec. 15 at 7 p.m. All home tournaments take place in the Chaska High School main gym.

The team is looking forward to a season full of excitement, energy, and competition. Each day they count down the moments until they get to showcase their extraordinary routines to the state of Minnesota and the rest of the dance community.

Although the success of years past lurks in the memories of the returning varsity members, the Hawks have no doubt they can surpass any obstacles and make the 2011-2012 season truly unforgettable.

Kara Notvedt is a Chaska dance captain.

Chaska boys hockey had 12 seniors in the program a season ago, but only three had varsity experience. This year’s roster has six seniors, but a number of players have at least one year of experience under their belt.

Couple that fact with a ton of team speed and Hawks Head Boys Hockey Coach Mike Johnson is excited about the 2011-12 season.

“We have a really good group coming back. The experience they got, especially this year’s juniors, played a big role for our varsity team last year. They were on our special teams and they played on our top lines.

Our asset we have is speed.

We’re not terribly big. The thing I’ve been most impressed with is how there is a different atmosphere with what they expect from themselves and each other.

The senior leadership has been awesome,” Johnson said.

“We still have a few areas we have to figure out, but these young guys are pretty talented and we’re excited,” the coach added.

With leading scorer Jack Storo having graduated along with all-conference players in Cory Drees, Seth Thomes and Joe Chu now departed; new players will have to step into those top roles.

Sophomore Cade Gersich played on the first line last season and will be expected to put the puck in the net. Seniors Brady Rohrs, Sean Brewers and Dan Esping all played significant roles last season on offense.

“We just have about everybody back from our top two lines. The guys filling in for those graduated players mostly played on the third line last year,” Johnson said.

On the blueline, senior Brendan Jackson, junior Jacob Halsne and junior captain Mitchell Kirchoff return from last year’s top five defensemen.

Another player that will have to step into a larger role this season is sophomore Blake Jackson, who competed as the team’s junior varsity goaltender last season. With Danny Kreuser and Kyle Helgestad both graduated, the sophomore will get most of the minutes this season with a freshman and eighth-grader battling for the No. 2 spot.

Jack son i s t he you n ger brother of Brendan, a senior defenseman.

Chaska is coming off a 7-18-2 season, which included a lastplace finish in the Missota Conference at 4-10. The Hawks did stop a long post-season losing streak with a win in Section 2A, but fell in the quarterfi nals 5-4 to top-seeded Blake School.

Johnson isn’t throwing out conference title expectations, but he would like improvement this season.

“Realistically, looking at the fi rst half of the year with all of the young guys we’re sending out there, I don’t think we’re saying the conference title is ours for the taking. We’re instead trying to instill what the work ethic and what we’re going to expect from each other.

Last year we didn’t get our fi rst win until after Christmas. It took that much time to get the skills where we wanted them and to show them what we expected as a coaching staff and as a program,” he said.

“This year we don’t have as much to get through – a lot of these kids know what to expect.

Our goal with the conference isn’t to fi nish fi rst or second or third, it necessarily isn’t a place. We’re evaluating the season in chunks and really the fi rst four games is establishing who we are. When we get into conference play we’ll see what we can do,” Johnson added.

The Chaska Hockey Booster Club will be active this season in promoting attendance for the Hawks with each home night being a designated sponsor game.

The home opener next Tuesday against Rosemount at 7:15 p.m. is “City of Chaska Night.” The mayor, city council members and key community employees have been invited to attend.

WINTER PREVIEWS

Basketball roster still youthful for Stars Southwest Christian had a roster full of freshman last season. In fact, 11 of the 15 players to suit up were in ninth grade.

Stars Head Girls Basketball Coach Butch Sprenger hoped to see many of them back this year, but only five sophomores are out for the team.

With the graduation of three seniors and the departure of six others, Southwest Christian is again young with only four players in the two oldest classes of the 14 players on the roster.

“We’re still young this year.

I’m hoping once we get the new school it will help our program,” said Sprenger. “We’ve t ried to schedu le more 1A teams this year because we’re 1A. I think they’ll allow us to be more competitive.”

Southwest Christian has had a record of 11-41 the past two seasons after finishing with a 23-7 mark in 2008-09.

Of the returning players, junior Katie Meinke and sophomores Lauren Robertson and Christine Piwnica provide the most offensive threats.

“The three or four returning players all averaged around four points a game last year, but they can all average eight points or more. That’s one of

The lone seniors are Sarah Swanson and Allison Reimer, while Meinke and Katie Wisely are the two rostered juniors.

Six freshmen are all listed on the varsity squad.

The Stars’ season opened on Tuesday with a home game against Calvin Christian. Home

contests this season are played at Trinity Lutheran School in Waconia.

Next up is a road contest at Zimmerman – the lone 3A school on the schedule – on Friday. The two teams met at the Simley Tournament last season with the Thunder coming out on top 41-40.

Southwest Christian got its fi rst victory of the season Tuesday, defeating Calvin Christian in the girls basketball opener at Trinity Lutheran School 45-23.

Sophomore guard Christine Piwnica scored a game-high 15 points with six steals to lead the Stars, who fi nished with a 6-20 campaign last season.

The team graduated three seniors, but returned a nucleus that should help Southwest Christian eclipse last season’s win total.

Junior Katie Wisely added eight points, while Lauren Robertson was the defensive star with six steals and seven def lected passes. The Stars capitalized on Calvin Christian’s inability to move the ball in pressure defense.

Senior Sa ra h Swa n son chipped in four rebounds, while junior Katie Meinke led the team with four assists and five rebounds.

THREE STARTERS BACK With three starters returning for the Southwest Christian boys basketball team, the Stars hope to be over .500 this season after finishing 10-18 last year.

Austin Dyck, in his fifth season at Southwest Christian along with three-year assistant coach Kip Avery, look for the defense to be the team’s strength this season.

“We will have to win on the defensive end with a lot of hustle,” he said. “We hope to fi nish with a .500 record and be in the middle to upper half of the MCAA Conference.”

Returning from last season’s squad are seniors Ian Engstrom, Brian Horner and Sam Berthold. Horner, a goaltender for the Stars soccer team, scored 10.7 points per game as a junior.

Berthold and Engstrom added nearly seven points apiece last season as well.

Last year’s 10 -18 record snapped a streak of at least six winning seasons for Southwest Christian. The Stars compi led 19 wins in both 2006-07 and 2008-09.

Home games will be played at Guardian Angels in downtown Chaska.

WRESTLING

Chaska/Chanhassen lost by criteria in a 34-33 match to Lakeville North in the Section 2AAA wrestling quarterfinals a season ago. With a roster stacked with talent returning, the Storm Hawks hoped to contend with Prior Lake and Eden Prairie for the section title this season.

That won’t be allowed to happen. The two schools are being forced to split for team sections with both competing in Section 2AAA. In other sports, splitting the two schools, such as in swimming and diving, allows Chaska to drop a class, but in wrestling, both programs are in the highest class.

“We’re doing the right things we believe and no one wants us to win. That’s the way it’s going to be. We’re just going to go out and compete as a team. The real reason we’re keeping them together as a team and splitting them at sections is because we wanted the kids to have practice partners. They need workout partners and it wouldn’t have been fair to either school to split. I’ve talked to a number of people and they think it’s a bad idea what they’re making us do, but it is what it is,” Chanhassen Head Wrestling Coach Mike Schultz said.

It’s the same case in the Missota Conference as the league won’t allow the co-op squad to win a conference title, although according to Schultz individuals will still be able to win year-end awards. The matches will still

go on, but the Storm Hawks will have to forfeit the team result.

The C/C wrestling program isn’t letting the situation ruin what potentially could be a great season for the local mat squad. One positive out of the mess is that the program could have 28 section participants with 14 wrestlers competing from each school.

“We’ll be wrestling as a team and unless it’s a conference match team scores will count,” Schultz said.

Three wrestlers start the season ranked on the wrestling website www.theguillotine.com. They are Chaska junior Trent Butcher (No. 6 at 126 pounds – 34-8 in 2010-11), Chaska eighth-grader Isaac Loosbruck (No. 8 at 112 pounds) and Chaska’s Ethan Loosbruck (No. 9 at 160 pounds – 31-10).

Other key returners include 2011 state qualifier sophomore Luke Finkel of Chanhassen (29 -10 record), Chanhassen eighth-grader Brandon Olevson (32-7) and Chaska senior Josh Blackowiak (25-14). Isaac Boy um (8 -13), Brett Fahey (9-10), Zach Boyum (9-11), Sam Grausam (12-16), Justin Goeman (16-20) and Reid Johnson (14-20) also are back from last year’s section team.

“We’ll be super solid. I was talking with a former wrestler and I was showing him our lineup and he was just like, ‘wow!’ Brandon is a top contender. He’ll be in the mix when it comes to state tournament time. Sam is one of our captains and he’s just a solid

HOLY FAMILY PREVIEWS

Van Sant leads upper-weights for MW/HFC The Mound Westonka/Holy Fami ly Catholic wrestling squad will be building on previous years’ successes, and hope to take it to the next level this year.

“We’ve been inexperienced and in rebuilding mode for several years now, and it’s time to see what we can accomplish.

Although we are still relatively young with only one returning senior, we have several talented wrestlers with a lot of varsity experience. The kids worked hard in the offseason, and I am very excited to how we will stack up against the top teams,” said White Hawks Head Coach Todd Munsterteiger.

Leading the way will be a veteran group of juniors, including two-time state entrant Tyler Hebig, and section place-winners Ben Rogers and Will Van Sant. Lone returning senior Tyler Ihli also secured a medal at sections last year.

Sophomores Ryder Schmidt, Bryan Tierney and John Byers all had successful years at the ninth grade and varsity level, and will solidify the starting lineup this year. Freshman Sam Bennyhoff also made a trip to the state tournament last year, and eighth graders Drake Heath and Ryan Reid

contributed at the varsity level.

Heath and Bennyhof f both earned runner-up honors at the Ninth Grade State League Tournament.

“We hope to compete in both the conference and section, and only time will how far we go.

The sky’s the limit with this group of kids. I am really proud of how hard they work and their willingness to improve,” added assistant coach Eric Rodelius.

NEW FIRE COACH Led by Division I recruit Hannah Schonhardt, new Holy Family Catholic Girls Head Basketball Coach Jenny Swartout has eight players that saw significant time on the court last season.

Swartout was an assistant coach at St. Olaf College in Northfield.

“I spent time at St. Olaf as an assistant absorbing from a great coach Dave Stromme. I am looking forward to a great season. The girls are buying into the new style of play and attitude,” the first-year head coach said.

Becca Neuger, a graduate of St. Olaf and former basketball, soccer, and track and field athlete, will coach C-squad, while

Chris White returns to the JV team. “(Chris) has spent the summer working feverishly with the girls. The coaches and the players are working hard to prepare us for what we hope is a dominate season. I couldn’t ask for a better group of coaches or players. They bring a work ethic and mentality of that of a college team; working hard daily,” Swartout said.

Schonhardt, who recently signed with Northern Iowa, was the team’s leading scorer (14 points) and top rebounder (nine a game) a year ago. Joining her in the paint will be seniors Erin Ryan-Mosley, Taylor Conroy and Katharine Leary.

Senior Ashley Hanson returns at point guard, while s ophomor e M ich ael a R a s mussen is a dominate player inside and out at the wing position. Juniors Emily Bauer and Aly Anton are two other players that will contribute at guard.

The team has a number of other options including Megan McCabe, a transfer from Ohio, as well as the team’s top defender in Haley Thompson.

New this year for the Fire is a move up in class from 2A

to 3A with the likes of Chaska, Benilde-St. Margaret and Waconia.

“The girls have been working hard learning a new aggressive style of basketball. The main focus of the season is play together and playing tough. We have provided the girls with a challenging schedule with a mix of 2A to 4A schools. The fi rst week of practice the girls and the coaching staff have been working to push ourselves outside their comfort zone. We look to have a tough, new attitude to the game,” Swartout said.

BACK FOR MORE Holy Family Catholic had its top fi nish at the state tournament since joining Class AA two seasons ago with a fourthplace mark in the 2011 Jazz/ Funk State Meet. The Fire, champions of Class A jazz/funk in 2004 and 2006, return three members from last year.

Senior capt ai n K rist a Stanoch was an all-state tournament selection in 2011. She is joined on the varsity team by senior captains Lexie Curtis and Caroline Morgan; juniors K ai ley McCoy and Maddie Prosser; sophomores Savannah Kiffmeyer, Laura Kubisiak

The Fire jazz/funk team still should be strong with many members of last year’s junior varsity squad moving up. Holy Family placed second at the 2011 Class AA JV Championships at the end of January.

The high kick team, which missed the state meet by one placing at the Section 3A A Meet, has 10 returning members.

“We are hoping to improve upon that and make it to the state tournament with both our jazz and high kick routines this season,” said Fire Dance Coach

Deanna Tetner, who is in her eighth year. Erin Raser, a former Fire dance team member, joins Tetner on the coaching staff for a second year.

Varsity high kick dancers are Curtis, Morgan, Stanoch, McCoy, Prosser, Kiffmeyer, Kubisiak, Plante, Taunton, Rielle Perttu, Maddie Balm, Elise Brausen, Annie Richelsen, Sammi Schierman, Emi ly Va k u l sk a s a nd E m m a Puklich.

GIRLS BASKETBALL

Hawks still youthful on the court

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

With only two seniors on the roster last season, the Chaska girls basketball team was among the youngest in the Missota Conference. The Hawks still could make that case with no seniors and just three juniors on this year’s roster.

“We are in a rebuilding stage with our program, but we have a lot of young talent, so I am really optimistic about this season and seeing strong progress throughout the year,” Chaska Girls Head Coach Tara Seifert said.

Of the 12 rostered players, seven are sophomores led by firstteam all-conference selection Ellie Thompson, who averaged

MISSOTA ALL-CONFERENCE SELECTIONS

10.5 points and 8.5 rebounds per game in the paint last season. Junior Sierra Leggett also returns after putting up 5.5 points and 3.5 rebounds last year.

Other retur ning varsity players that will have a big impact this season are sophomores Kenda l l Baab, Page Stanberry, Hannah Rohe and junior Lauren Sundby. Fresh-

men Erin Schindler will compete in her second varsity sport this season.

“One huge blow to our team was losing sophomore point guard MaKena Panning for the season due to an ACL injury this summer,” Seifert said.

Chaska was 11-16 in 2010-11 with a 5-9 record in the Missota for sixth place. Of the five con-

ference wins, four came against Holy Angels and Northfield, which each had one league victory.

The Hawks were ousted in the opening round of the Section 6AAA playoffs last season, 54-44, to Holy Family Catholic.

“So many of our junior varsity/varsity kids from last season have put a lot of work in

this summer and we had 10-12 kids play AAU basketball all summer. I hope to see us be a high contender in the Missota Conference and be a competitive team in our section come March,” Seifert said.

Chaska dropped its season opener at Jorda n T uesday 59-52. No other game information was available.

Storm-Hawks U14 off to a good start The Chaska/Chanhassen/Burnsville Storm-Hawks U14A girls hockey team is off to a tremendous start to the season. The girls, who had only been practicing together for a week, participated in their fi rst tournament of the season Nov. 19-20 and pulled out three decisive victories to win the U14A championship at the Hopkins Tournament.

In the fi rst game, the Storm-Hawks took on the girls from Orono. Although the CCB team dominated throughout the contest, the game was scoreless in the third period. Then, the barrage of goals commenced. The Chan/Chaska/Burnsville team poured on the shots, putting three in the net in less than a minute. Goals were scored by Sarah Goh, Miley Ernst and Sydney Kaye. Lida Ernst fi nished up with a goal in the fi nal minutes of the game to secure the win 4-0. Assists were credited to Mollie Wise, Jenna Worre, Lida Ernst and Kaye.

In the second game, the girls faced their rivals from neighboring Eden Prairie. The Chan/Chaska/Burnsville girls scored early and often, winning 5-0. Lida Ernst earned her second goal of the tournament, while Brooke Riddle and Wise added two goals apiece.

Assists went to Sofia Poinar, Kaye, Goh, Wise and Riddle.

The championship game was a match against always strong Osseo-Maple Grove. The CCB girls kept up their offensive attack and put in a goal in each of the three periods. Miley Ernst scored fi rst with an assist by Kaye. Mady Bodick scored in the second with the assist going to Poinar, while Wise put in the third goal of the game assisted by Poinar and Riddle.

Osseo-Maple Grove struck back by getting a power play goal in the third period, but a strong defensive effort by Claire Athmann and Olivia Swenson and the offensive pressure generated by wing Hannah Erickson kept the game at 3-1. Goalie Bailey Jackson was a “brick wall” between the pipes, only allowing one goal in the tournament.

The U14 program in Chaska/Chanhassen is in a co-op with the Burnsville U14 girls for the 2011-12 season. Members of the U14A team reside in Chaska, Chanhassen, Victoria and Burnsville. The team is coached by Pat Wise, Jonathan Worre and Jim Bodick.

Three members of West Express were among the big winners at the first-ever State IMX Championships in Hutchinson Nov. 21. They are Katie Ridler, Sean Donnelly and John Paul Currie.

Currie takes title in first-ever IMX State Meet The fi rst-ever State IMX Championships in Minnesota Swimming were held on Sunday, Nov. 21 in Hutchinson.

Sean Donnelly placed second in the 14-year-old age category, while siblings Katie (13) and Luke Ridler (10) each took home third place in their respective age categories. Other swimmers placing at the meet were Amy Taylor (third) and Maria Currie (10th) in the 12-year-old girl division; Bella Kudanovych and Emma Zeller were fi fth- and sixth-place, respectively, in the 11-year-old girls; and Josh Wuflestad, who took eighth for 12-year-old boys.

Family tales ‘A Silent Night for PEEF’ at Stages Theatre

BY KARLA WENNERSTROM editor@edenprairienews.com

I

n Eden Prairie author Tom Hegg’s second PEEF story, Santa comes back to visit PEEF, finding he’s a little bit worse for wear.

However, Santa finds there’s been a lot of life experience in the little bit of dirt on the bear – as well as the rip and the tear.

Hegg’s son Adam, director of theater programs for FAIR School, has adapted the story for the stage. The play, “A Silent Night for PEEF,” is running at the Stage Theatre Company in Hopkins through Dec. 26.

When asked if he consulted with his dad in writing the adaptation, Adam, who was an inspiration for PEEF, replied: “In all things.”

“He’s an actor and a teacher and a writer, and I am also an actor, a teacher and a writer,” the Minneapolis resident said.

“I am roundly in his shadow.”

Tom said he is delighted with Adam’s interpretation of his book.

“I am absolutely thrilled

New books by Hegg Tom Hegg, famous for writing “A Cup of Christmas Tea,” has some new books coming out this year, including “Little Dickens: A Droll and Most Extraordinary History,” he said.

The new story features characters from Hegg’s favorite Dickens books, “A Christmas Carol,” “Great Expectations,” “Oliver Twist,” and “A Tale of Two Cities.”

“It is my homage to Charles Dickens” in honor of Dickens’ 200th birthday, coming up on Feb. 10, 2012, Hegg said.

Hegg is set to sign copies of the book from noon to 1 p.m.

Thursday, Dec. 8.

In the spring, he will release “Bring It!” a book to be given to a high school graduate. In 2013, he plans to release “Baby Talk,” a gift for someone about to have a baby come into their life.

with what he’s able to do,” said Tom, a drama teacher at the Breck School in Minneapolis. “I’ve been in theater all my life, but I’ve never written for the theater.

He’s able to look into the story line and invent characters that do not exist in the book as it is written, but bring the book to life on stage in a way that nothing else could.”

While Tom’s book is told as a memory, starting with PEEF telling Santa about the year he has had, Adam said the play offers highlights from that year and ends with PEEF getting ready to tell Santa what happened.

Both praised the play’s

music by Michael Mahler.

“The songs knock me out,” Tom said. “When you can’t say anything powerful enough with words, it’s time to go into a song.

“That’s absolutely thrilling to see it come from two dimensions into three dimensions and add song and dance to it. I mean what more could you want?”

Adam, who was about to become a father himself while writing the script, said he gained new insight from the experience. When he submitted the script to his editor, he was holding his 30-hour-old daughter, Imogen Beatrice, in his lap.

Adam said he always knew intellectually that he was an inspiration for PEEF, but holding Imogen, it became real.

The entire family, Tom and wife Peggy, Adam and wife Breanne (Imogen will attend a matinee later), planned to attend Nov. 17 opening night.

“You bet we’re going to be there,” Tom said. “This will be the first time I have seen the show. I haven’t been to any rehearsals. It’s going to be a surprise for me.”

On the hunt for the perfect tree

BY KRISTIN HOLTZ kholtz@swpub.com

Nothing beats the crisp pine smell of a freshly cut Christmas tree.

Whether you’re cutting your own or buying one at the local tree lot, selecting the perfect tree is all about freshness.

Donna Revak, owner of Revak Nursery in Elko and Lakeville, says buying a tree from a reliable source is one of the best ways to ensure you’re getting the freshest fir or spruce possible. When choosing a tree, grab the branch and gently pull your hand toward you. If needles come off in your hand, choose a different tree, she said.

One word of warning: Choose a tree that’s not taller than the room in which you plan to place it.

“Amazingly that simple little rule is forgotten when families go out and pick up a tree,” said Revak, who’s heard numerous stories of families cutting a foot off the tree to get it in the house. “It never seems to look as big in the field or lot as it does in the house.”

Always make a fresh cut before putting the tree in the stand and be sure to keep the stand full of water, Revak said.

The Minnesota Christmas Tree Association breaks down the characteristics of the most commonly grown Minnesota trees to find the variety that’s best for you.

BALSAM FIR Has distinctive long, dark green needles, ½-to-1½-inch, that are soft to the touch. The aroma is uniquely fragrant.

Its branches are layered and can support a variety of ornaments and decorations.

CANAAN FIR Similar in appearance to the Balsam fir, its needles tend to be about 1-inch in length and vary in color. The foliage can be similar to the appearance of the Fraser fir.

Cutting your own Christmas tree is a tradition for many people. “It’s a family event, part of the holiday celebration,” said Donna Revak, owner of Revak Nursery in Elko and Lakeville.

Soft-to-the-touch needles that are flat and short, 3/8-to1¼-inch, with rounded tips and a silvery underside. The dark green color and pleasant fresh-cut aroma make this a frequently requested tree.

Where to find your Christmas tree?

Visit mncta.com for a listing of cut-your-own and wholesale tree farms. Many local Boy Scout troops also set up Christmas tree lots.

Minnesota’s state tree has dark green needles 3-to-5inches in length, creating a full and pleasing shape. Tree

How to care for your tree I Make a fresh cut. Before placing your tree in the stand, re-cut the trunk at least 1 inch from the bottom. This reopens the tree stem so it can drink water.

I Don’t place tree by heat.

Keep tree away from heat sources like heat registers, space heaters, fireplaces, stove and electronics because they will speed up the tree’s evaporation.

I Water immediately.

After making the fresh cut, place tree in stand with warm water. Stand should hold at least one gallon of fresh water.

I Don’t add anything to water. Plain tap water works best, since some commercial additives have been shown to decrease a tree’s moisture and increase needle loss.

I Check water level daily. Don’t allow water to drop below the fresh cut.

Christmas trees are very thirsty and may drink two gallons of water the first day.

has excellent needle retention.

SCOTCH PINE A bushy and full tree with 1-to-3-inch stiff needles in clusters that fill every branch with dense foliage. Colors on the conical shaped trees vary from green to blue-green.

WHITE PINE The lacy blue-green needles, 2- to-4-inch in length, are graceful to the eye and soft to the touch. It has a delightful pine fragrance and excellent needle retention.

COLORADO SPRUCE Foliage ranges from lovely powdery blue to a rich dark green color with long lasting, stiff and pointed needles. The layered branching pattern and its stout strong branches are ideal for hanging heavy ornaments.

WHITE SPRUCE Sometimes called the “old fashioned” Christmas tree because of its shape. The needles are ½-to-1-inch long and fill every branch with dense foliage. It makes an ideal table-top tree as well as a full-sized tree.

LET’sGO!CALENDAR ‘I WISH YOU LOVE’ In 1957 Americans were falling in love to the sweet sounds of Nat “King” Cole. His carefully manicured image distracted an entire generation of white viewers from the reality of racial violence raging in the streets. Still, Cole believed that, with enough talent and persistence, he would be judged on the content of his character as opposed to the color of his skin. This intimate portrait of one man, his music and the dreams of a nation is making a return engagement at the Penumbra Theatre by popular demand.

Bostrom, who authors most of the articles for each issue, also points out that Teske handles all of the publication’s advertising which he says includes “managing the existing accounts as well as adding new clients.” With advertising sales, the newsletter cost to each Jonathan household is less than a dollar per issue, the release stated.

There were over 6,000 entries across many different contest categories from throughout the USA and several foreign countries in the MarCom Awards 2011 competition, and only 18 percent of all entries qualify for “Gold” status awards. Included among the other award winners were: American Public Television (website), Fidelity Investments (direct mail postcard), Lockheed Martin (promotional branding campaign), MetLife (consumer brochure), and St. Jude Medical (television placement).

“It’s so exciting that our Jonathan Neighbors quarterly newsletter is among the winners in this prestigious international creative competition,”

said Bostrom. “I think this wonderful achievement is further proof that Jonathan in Chaska is a special part of the best small town in Minnesota!”
