Chaska city councilor and local business owner Rick Ford recently donated his late wife Margaret Healey’s vast collection of cookbooks to the Carver County Library system. Library staff has been busy readying the books for the shelves ever since. “We’ve never had a donation like this,” said Melissa Brechon, library director. “It’s a wonderful gift.” “Margaret is our cookbook angel here,” she added. Ford esti mated t he Hea ley collection at upward of 500 cookbooks. Not all of them are destined for the library – some went to family members after Healey passed, and others will make their way to library book sales – but the vast majority will be made available to anyone with a Carver County Library card. The books should make their way to the shelves by early next year.

Department 50-Fritz Couple makes their own town BY MARK W. OLSON editor@chaskaherald.com
Revelers are pulling out carefully packaged tiny porcelain homes and assembling miniature Christmas villages throughout the United States. There’s the Ye Olde villages, and the East Coast villages, and “The Christmas Story” villages and, of course, the ever-popular Department 56 villages. But Kathy and Urban Fritz, of Chaska, take it one step further. Kathy, a certified ceramics teacher, doesn’t purchase buildings. Instead she paints, and then fi res, buildings in one of her kilns. Urban, a retired Chaska barber, lovingly lays out his ceramicist wife’s buildings in a classic grid-pattern – the ultimate in Urban planning. “I just adore the work she does,” Urban said. In the center is the Fritz family’s rotating Christmas tree, packed with ornaments. Kathy works on about one miniature building a year. They’re now up to 29 buildings, including houses, outhouses, a movie theater, and churches – both Protestant and Catholic. There’s even a tiny gazebo – a nod to Chaska’s City Square Park. Urban’s prompting resulted in a brewery and saloon (“but he doesn’t drink beer,” noted Kathy). Throughout the miniatures, meant to reflect an 1880s vil-

The growing collection recently required annexing another foot of living room floor, so Urban could add a subdivision to the 10-foot by 10-foot display. The village is a continuation of a family tradition – Urban’s mother assembled a papiermâché Christmas village every year. And the elaborate display is a long way from the Fritz’s first Christmas tree. Sixty years and eight children ago,

CARVER COUNTY
Officials say levy decrease may be one of largest in state Carver County’s 2012 levy represents one of the largest levy decreases in the state, according to county officials. The County Board Dec. 13 unanimously approved a 2012 levy of $44,779,720 — a 3.1 percent decrease compared to 2011. County officials have been paring back the budget to account for a state legislative change that cost the county $1.4 million in state aid. The end result for most resi-
dential taxpayers is that the county portion of property taxes will be flat. A key factor determining whether homeowners will pay slightly more or slightly less is how their estimated market values held up compared to other homeowners in the county, Frischmon said. Anoka County is the only other county in the metro area with a larger decrease in the annual levy, Frischmon said. Many counties, he said, are passing the impact of a legislative shift on to taxpayers. To fi ll the gap created by the

during his senior year of high school and spent the previous three years restoring, would spend the year in storage waiting for him. He couldn’t have been more wrong. “We did a little white lie on him,” said Tony, smiling sheepishly. Luke arrived back in Carver the day before Thanksgiving. When the 27-year-old shipped out last December, his truck was more of a concept than a reality, with a stark metal frame and a project list a mile long. “It was in very poor condition when he left,” said Tony. But last Saturday, with 50 to 60 friends and family members gathered at the Theis home to welcome Luke back, reality came rolling right into the garage party. “I didn’t recognize it at first,” said Luke, of the big surprise. As his eyes pored over the vehicle, everyone else’s eyes were on Luke, waiting for him to realize that the truck invading his party was his own. When he fi nally did, Luke’s jaw dropped. “That’s my truck!” he thought, though the words that came out of his mouth were not exactly fit for print. “It went per fect ly,” said Tony, of the big reveal. “I was completely surprised,” said Luke who, two days later,
While Luke was off in Iraq, enduring 100-degree temperatures and working 12-hour days as an aircraft electrician, three dozen friends, family members and business acquaintances were putting in hundreds of work hours to bring “Darth Vader” (as the truck would later be dubbed) to life. “Anybody I’ve asked to help or give us a deal has jumped on it,” said a touched Tony, who owns and operates Theis Repair, a garage specializing in restoration projects. Why? “‘Cause [Luke’s] cool. He serves our country and he’s a good boy,” answered Tony, before pausing briefly to reconsider his answer. “I can’t say ‘Because he’s cool.’ How about, ‘Because we can.’” “We’re a close knit family,” Tony went on to say. “These are just the things you do for family.” But Luke’s family and friends also wanted to show their appreciation for the likeable guy. “We’re really proud of him,” said mom Candy. “We’re so proud of him,” agreed Tony. “He’s grown up immensely.” Luke said he joined the National Guard to take advantage of government programs that would pay for his schooling and
loss in the homestead market value prog ram, the county is redirecting other state aid and delaying some capital projects.
ZEBRA MUSSELS A discussion on whether Carver County should devote tax dol lars to fighting the spread of zebra mussels has been continued to January. At Tuesday’s meeting, Bill Olson, who is the county’s representative on the Minnehaha Watershed District, said the district was prepared to pay a minimum of $15,000 to help
to “do more with my life.” Before signing up for the National Guard, the 2003 Chaska High School g raduate was working at a soundproofing business and going to school to get a second degree in electronics (he already had a degree in business) from Dunwoody College of Technology. Joining the National Guard gave him an opportunity to get his schooling paid for, but it also gave him an opportunity to expand his expertise from car mechanics to electronics. “It was a no-brainer,” said Luke. “This is a springboard for my life.” Luke went to Iraq knowing that his father’s car restoration business was his to join should he ever want to. Talking with his fellow Guardsmen convinced him that it was a great opportunity he shouldn’t pass on. With his mind made up, Luke ordered a box of business cards with “Theis and Dad” jokingly printed on them and had them sent to his dad. But the joke may have been on Luke, as Tony is all too proud to show off the cards which he declared “pretty cool.”
RESTORATION With less than a month before Luke was due home from Iraq, Tony began the fi nal push to get Darth Vader ready for his son’s arrival. “It was a complete frame-off restoration,” said Tony. “We

The county has been considering whether to financially back inspection ef for ts on Lake Minnewashta because the public access is located in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park. Details, however, still remain to be worked out on what the program would be. Legislative changes may be considered next year that would help local units of government oversee inspection efforts.
literally took the last belt out of the car.” Piece by piece, the truck came together, evolving from stark metal frame to a spotless classic truck, complete with skull-tipped door locks. “It was a single axel,” said Tony. “We made it a dually rear wheel.” Tony and team also replaced the gas motor with a 5.9 liter Cummins diesel engine. They took a floor board from another vehicle and fashioned a roof for the extra long cab (Darth Vader measures in at a whopping 23-feet in length). And subcontractors Tony regularly works with volunteered their time to do everything from putting in the carpet to installing a custom-made head liner. “We’re about getting it done,” said Tony. “Paying it back and paying it forward.” The finished product gets the thumbs up from Luke, though he admits that the truck and its project list often kept his mind busy while he was in Iraq. “I’m torn – it would have been nice to be a part of everything, but it’s nice that it’s done,” he said. Darth Vader still has a few projects left for Luke to tackle. Tony smartly left some of the interior work, including the sound system, for his son to do. “I’m glad he didn’t mess with that,” said Luke. “I’m going to put in a big sound system.” Now Luke must only endure
Commissioner Tom Workman, of Chanhassen, spoke in favor of working with the watershed district. Joe Shnieder, of the Christmas Lake Association, encouraged the County Board to take action now so that plans could be completed prior to next boating season. He said the state’s Department of Natural Resources doesn’t have adequate funding to address the problem on its own. Currently zebra musssels, an invasive species that can take over a lake, have been identified in Prior Lake and
Lake Minnetonka. County commissioners, however, were reluctant to sign off on a program without more specifics and some, including Jim Ische and Tim Lynch, who represent the western part of the county, wondered whether the county should be taking the lead on a program that should be under the jurisdiction of the state. Ische said Carver County may be the only county in the state putting dollars in to the effort if it ultimately approves a program for next year.

He insists he won’t drive the truck until there’s no salt left on the roads. “This is a summer ride,” he said with a smile as big as his truck is long. “It’s perfect.”

GUEST COMMENTARY
Why we all need public defenders BY TERRENCE E. CONKEL
I recall a particular day many years ago, probably back in the late 1950s, when I was visiting my grandmother. She asked me a question which Terrence is often posed to Conkel young children. “What do you want to be when you grow up?” If you are old enough to remember that time period, you will surely recall the arrival of television and how it had a huge influence on us. In most American homes, TV had replaced radio as the main source of nightly news and entertainment. At the time “Perry Mason” was a popular TV show and I often watched it. The show was named after a fictional attorney who represented persons charged with serious crimes, usually murder. The idea that the hero of the TV show was an attorney helping alleged criminals who were charged with terrible crimes was unusual for those times. The premise of the show ran counter to popular thinking that people charged with crimes were likely guilty and that the sordid role of the defense attorney was to use a sneaky trick to get the case thrown out over a “technicality” or a “loophole.” Nevertheless, I enjoyed “Perry Mason.” Mr. Mason was a good deed doer. He took on difficult, sometimes hopeless looking cases. He charged his clients little to nothing. And invariably, he would prove his client’s innocence. Like many TV shows then and now, it was high on entertainment, but low on realism. Probably because of my regular viewing of “Perry Mason,” I told my grandmother that “I am going to be a lawyer.” I recall her disapproving look. After a hesitation she asked me, “Terry, why would you want to help crooks?” At the time I didn’t really have a good reply to her question. However, in my ensuing school years I learned about the Bill of Rights and things such as presumption of innocence, the right to a trial and the right to be represented by an attorney. And I learned that all of us have these rights, whether we are actually innocent or guilty, rich or poor, crook or saint. As I now look back I remember my grandmother was smart and well read. I believe she also knew about these things, but perhaps she was just hoping I would become a doctor or a minister. If so, I should have pointed out to her that doctors and ministers also help “crooks.” However, the law became my career and now more than ever I appreciate that our own individual rights are not safe unless we as a society protect such rights for each and every person. This brings me to the topic at hand, public defenders and why it is so important for all of us to support and maintain a strong public defender system. The 6th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall have the assistance of counsel for his defense. By 1972 the U.S. Supreme Court had extended this right to any person accused of a crime who could be sentenced to jail or prison. Consequently, the right to counsel applies to all criminal prosecutions, except the most minor traffic and nuisance type charges. Consequently, Minnesota established a statewide public defender system. Today in Minnesota, public defender work is done through the Minnesota Board of Public
Defense. Public defenders are fulland part-time state employees who are administered through the state office and through districts which geographically coincide with the state’s 10 judicial districts. Public defenders are mandated to provide legal services for indigent persons in felony, gross misdemeanor, misdemeanor, juvenile delinquency and child protection cases. In addition, the State Public Defenders Office represents some indigent defendants in handling their cases on appeal to the higher courts. A person is eligible for a public defender if they are receiving low income government benefits or, considering their liquid assets and income, they are unable to pay the reasonable fees charged by a private attorney. A person requesting a public defender is required to provide information to a judge or court screener who establishes whether they are financially eligible for a public defender. Persons receiving a public defender are often court ordered to pay back part of the public cost for providing legal representation. Public defenders are required to accept all court appointments. They cannot decline to take a case. It has been estimated that 85 percent to 90 percent of all persons accused of serious criminal offenses in Minnesota are represented by public defenders. Juveniles who are the subject of juvenile delinquency petitions are represented by public defenders about 95 percent of the time. As a result, public defenders are extremely busy. It is estimated that the public defenders in Minnesota handle nearly double the case loads recommended by national standards. Public defense in Minnesota is funded by our taxpayers and through a temporary dedicated registration fee imposed on all attorneys. The Minnesota Board of Public Defense and all the employees it administers, including attorneys, investigators and staff members are dependent on the funding allocated to it by the State Legislature. Inadequate funding of public defenders would create inequalities that should not be permitted in our system of justice. Consistent with adequate funding, the judicial system has a duty to effectively screen applications and appoint public defenders only for those clients who are eligible. Likewise, the Board of Public Defense has an obligation to insure the services of our public defenders are delivered in an efficient and cost effective manner. From a personal standpoint as a trial court judge, the public defenders I see in my court are experienced, dedicated and professional in all respects. Many are attorneys who could likely have a more lucrative and less stressful career in private practice, yet they have a passion for their work. This is not to take away anything from the fine prosecutors and private counsel who also work with me. However, the public defenders have a particularly difficult task. Their clients are not only poor, but many lack education and skills, have physical or mental disabilities and are addicted to alcohol or drugs. Public defenders regularly deal with difficult clients who often times are under considerable family, economic and personal stress even before they were charged with a crime. Fortunately, most of us will never be charged with a serious crime and be in need of a public defender. Nevertheless, each of us should recognize and support the vital role our public defenders serve in a system designed to provide justice for all. Judge Terrence E. Conkel is an assistant chief judge with the First Judicial District.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LOCAL AID
Why should field be level? I had to write to respond to Jim Weygand’s Dec. 8 guest commentary regarding Local Government Aid, and how it levels the field. Where is written that the field should be level? We are created equal, but after that, we’re all required to generate our own outcomes. Our equal creation is that we are all born with equal rights, not equal outcomes. Sen. Ortman is right about our current situation. The state is basically broke. Expecting the state to provide LGA, when it can barely balance its own budget, is absurd. Now when it looks like the state may actually be black in the black, we’ve got an accounting shift to schools to pay for, and I’d say that should come before LGA. From what I understand, locally we use LGA mainly for extras – parks, and other projects that aren’t essential. I’d say the shortfalls to the schools are essential, because if our schools don’t get paid, it’s only a matter of time before they ask for another levy. It’s high time for government all across the board to start living within its means. Jim Weygand wants us to go back to pre -Ventu ra level ta x rates? Why? Why does every liberal believe a shortfall in revenue means we have to increase taxes? And Jim also teeters on the edge of saying the rich aren’t paying their fair share, a tired mantra we hear from our governor and other Democrats. When I hear “fair share,” I think they must mean a “flat tax” right? Would that be fair? What is the defi nition of fair tax? Is it a percentage, or is it a dollar amount? Because either way, those of us in the higher brackets are paying higher income taxes and higher property taxes, both on percentage and amounts. If there’s a tax that Jim finds too regressive, perhaps he’d work with leaders to get rid of those. Maybe he should be against cigarette taxes, or sales, or gasoline taxes. Whatever the solution, he better hope for something other than tax increases, because we’ve seen where that gets us. He wants more government, which in turn requires more and more revenue, despite what Bill Clinton assured us years ago, “the era of big government is over.” Oh, if only that were true.

Great response for ‘Holiday Mail’ Thank you so much to all of the residents of Carver County who participated in the Holiday Mail for Heroes campaign organized by American Red Cross nationally.

Federation of State, County Municipal Employees (AFSCME) as their representative A petition was fi led with the Bureau of Mediation Services on Nov. 2 by the Employee Association of Carver County that raises the question whether the 178 employees in the General Courthouse Unit should be represented by the AFSCME Council 65. This unit is made up of employees from departments such as Library, Public Health, Assessors, Taxpayer Services, Sheriff and Finance. The Bureau of Mediation Services sent out a Maintenance of Status Quo Order on Nov. 3, after over 30 percent of the employees signed authorization cards showing interest in being represented by the Employees Association of Carver County rather than AFSCME Council 65. The order is issued to promote a free and fair environment for the resolution of this question of representation. The order also puts a freeze on wages and existing conditions of employment until the matter is resolved. The next step will be for the bureau to initiate a mail-ballot election within the next few weeks to all employees in the General Courthouse unit. The mail-ballot will ensure the
one more request of the residents of Carver County during this holiday season. There are many openings for the blood drives scheduled at the Chanhassen city offices on Tuesday, Dec. 20 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Carver Village Hall, from noon to 6 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 27; and then at St. John’s Lutheran Church on Wednesday, Jan. 4.

process remains confidential and free of intimidation. Employees initiated this process for the following reasons: First, to save money. By switching to the Employee Association of Carver County employees will see drastic reductions in union dues. AFSCME dues for higher paid full-time employees will be raised to $55 per month in 2012, while the proposed dues for the same employee with the Employees Association of Carver County will be $25. That is annual savings of $360. Employees across the spectrum, whether part time or fulltime, full-share or fair-share members, will all see significant savings. Second, discontent with current representation. Many employees are interested in securing better representation during labor negotiation and grievances. Many employees have felt AFSCME business agents have been unprepared to properly represent Carver County employee’s interests. Also a recent decision by AFSCME to stop focusing on public service employees and begin organizing lower wage jobs, such as store clerks, puts into question their commitment to county employees.

Looking for the big picture in news Football is a lot like the news – there are always many angles to the game. Each player has their own perspective on the field. And when there’s a penalty or questionable call, there are a LOT of angles to it. And the modern-day slow-motion instant replay camera can allow us as spectators to see a complete different perspective than what coaches see from the sidelines. That’s sports – but when was the last time you listened to or watched the BBC news? Honestly, I probably don’t pay attention to global news as much as I do football, or compared to the major network coverage either. But it is important. Why? Because what impacts me, my family, my friends, neighbors, and community isn’t just what is here in my home town, my metro area, or even my state or country. It is all around us. The smallest microcosm of activity half a world away can have dramatic implications on our own day-to-day activities. And these impacts can be both profound, and impactful. Working in the news media industry, I quickly learned that the trend in television for the past decade has been to focus on hyper-local news. So, the news we get is focused on as local a geography as one can make it. For example, take the weather. Let’s say that there’s a typhoon off of the coast of Hong Kong. So what that it may be bigger than Katrina or impact more people than Irene. Most people don’t have a personal connection to it – friend, family, acquaintance – that would allow them to humanly identify with the plight there, diminishing its value as a human impact. If

there was another hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico or the East Coast, it would garner more attention because more of us are far more likely to have closer ties to those geographies than we are likely to in Hong Kong or the Philippines. Likewise, a tornado touchdown in Wisconsin, Iowa, or here in the Twin Cities would be huge news in our market. Even national news stories are closely engineered to tell the compelling story as it would impact everyday Americans from coast-to-coast – to personalize the news, to make it relevant to each of us and our families. But most of world news focuses on what the news media believes to be what will be of interest to us. If Kim Kardashian is what we want to hear about – or what the media believes we want to hear about – that’s what we get. If ratings spike on stories of Somali refugees, tomorrow’s news will focus on similar stories. Ratings allow us a collective to drive the news stories a little bit like Amazon tailors our suggested products list.
HEADLINES Looking at BBC World News headlines, some top
news includes “Bulldozers raze Gadaffi Compound,” “Kenya Hunts Kidnappers in Somalia,” and “Air India Passengers Stranded on Plane.” Oddly enough, one of the top news stories comes from our shores: “U.S. Woman Cuts off Husband’s Penis” – quite a dubious distinction if that’s what we’re known for as Americans. Here’s my own personal criteria for what I would consider world news: items that have a significant impact to relations between two countries, whether political, economic, or political, or those which have far-reaching implications due to the human impact in lives affected directly by the event, such as an earthquack. Looking at the top headlines, there’s one local news item (Air India flight strands passengers), because the topic only impacts those passengers. News? Yes. World headline – not any more so than a similar incident stateside. Likewise, the news of the bizarre/sensational came from the U.S. – “Woman Cuts off Husband’s Penis.” Does this impact the global economy or foreign relations with other countries? Not at all. But it is enough to raise some eyebrows. Any legitimate excuse to get the ‘P’ word on the cover of a publication will usually get some eyeballs – and a few more sales! (I’m sure the Herald would never stoop to such gamesmanship!) The other headlines are definitely more relevant. Kenya hunting kidnappers in Somalia is significant because of issues with militants kidnapping Spanish aid workers (and others). The
news is relevant to a broader audience, because of the economic impact and threat to Kenya’s tourism industry. The bulldozers in the Gadaffi compound story is significant not just because of the politics. It is a symbol of the economic implications. Experts generally agree that Libya has the largest known, underutilized reserves of crude in Africa – meaning that whoever leads Libya will have a significant economic and thereby political leverage in the world stage. So what’s my point? We make the choice of what news outlet to get our information from – whether a particular network, radio station, Internet, or some other place. Within that outlet, the specific news stories are chosen for us. But in that same context, that outlet has a significant ability and responsibility to help formulate our opinions by educating us. By choosing to read publications that may focus on a particular geography, political view, or perspective, we isolate ourselves from important information that may impact us. Understanding news from multiple angles helps paint a clearer picture of what is happening. And having accurate facts, with information from as many perspectives as possible will always help us to make the best informed decisions we can make. After all, watching a football game from one seat can be great, but there’s a whole another dynamic when you have multiple angles and instant replay. Mike Huang is a Chaska resident.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Giving without expectation BY AMY LYON
When I arrived at the shelter Tuesday evening, several other volunteers were already scurrying around placing sleeping mats on the floor, cooking dinner and folding blankets for the people who would arrive in less than an hour. For the second season, the lower level of a Minneapolis church is offering shelter to 50 homeless men and women – the “guests” – throughout the winter and into the spring. Groups volunteer each night to prepare meals for the guests and a homeless advocate is on staff to oversee the overnight operation. Last year when the shelter first opened, my best friend and I wound up coordinating all of the volunteers and meal groups – lack of funding didn’t allow for a paid volunteer coordinator. We thoroughly exhausted ourselves as we juggled full-time jobs, night
classes and family. This year, a full-time coordinator was hired and we’ve shifted our focus to a more intentional approach of spending time with the guests to help them find resources. My personal focus is on listening to the guests rather than trying to fix them. Too quickly the wheels churn in my head and I imagine a list of tasks that could be completed to help each guest expeditiously overcome homelessness. But it’s more complicated than that. Some of the guests suffer from severe mental illness and don’t have access to the care and medications they need. Some guests have alcohol and substance abuse addictions and life on the streets has only exacerbated their problems. Many of the guests have jobs and some work full time, but their wages aren’t enough to afford permanent housing. And increasingly,
many guests are homeless for the first time after losing a job and subsequently losing their home. They struggle to find work in an economy where hundreds of people apply for each job and the competition is fierce. Out of exhaustion and frustration, and without the resources many of us have to fall back on, some give up all together. I had been away from volunteering for most of the summer while I worked on a writing project, and being back in the presence of so much need and so much help was both devastating and exhilarating. I make the decision to drive from Savage to downtown Minneapolis several times each month not because there aren’t opportunities closer to home, but because the shelter presented itself to my best friend and me somewhat serendipitously and we’ve committed to making a difference there together.
I thought about the journey of how the shelter came to be on my drive home Tuesday night, and when I picked up my son from his aunt’s house, he ran into my arms and excitedly asked, “Mommy! Did you help the people who don’t have houses?” My heart nearly leaped from my chest. I recognize that the gift of time I give is valuable to the shelter coordinators and, I hope, is of some benefit to the guests. And the personal reward of heightened awareness is immeasurable for me. But more important than any of those things, I’m serving as a role model for my son who, at the age of 3, is already glimpsing what it means to give without the expectation of getting anything in return.

off limits to smoking. Even hospitals allowed it. Imagine babies taking their first breaths, only to consume their inaugural dose of secondhand smoke. Imagine getting on an airplane and having smokers light up shortly after take-off. Unthinkable! An estimated 42 percent of Americans were regular smokers in the 1960s, and not many of them were trying to quit. Today roughly 20 percent of American adults smoke, and nearly 40 percent of them try to quit every year. Four years ago, the state of Minnesota passed the Freedom to Breathe Act, which restricts smoking in nearly all enclosed public places.

Americans love to revisit history, whether it is inside the doors of a museum, on the pages of a history book, or on television. This includes the millions of us who love watching Enoch “Nucky” Thompson on “Boardwalk Empire,” which is set during Prohibition, as well as Don Draper of “Mad Men,” and his coworkers at Sterling Cooper Advertising in the 1960s. Comparing their lifestyles to today’s norms is just as interesting as analyzing the characters themselves. For instance, the United States has spent decades trying to get people to stop smoking and, more recently, protecting people from secondhand smoke exposure. Slowly but surely, smoking has
become less acceptable, and today’s norm is that smoking is not allowed in public places such as workplaces, restaurants, bars, and Pat many outdoor McKone spaces. It’s hard for most of us to imagine working in an office while someone next to us chainsmokes like Mad Men’s Don Draper. As much as I dislike seeing people smoke on TV, these period shows remind us how far we’ve come.

Three schools closed to open enrollment BY CHUCK FRIEDBAUER friedchu@yahoo.com
District 112 will close three schools to open enrollment for the 2012-13 school year. The District 112 school board u na ni mously approved a n administration recommendation to close Clover Ridge, East Union and Victoria Elementary schools to open enrollment (as well as intra-district transferring) because all three schools are over their building capacity. School districts are allowed to close a school to open enrollment due to exceeding building capacity as a guideline set by the Minnesota Department of Education. Clover Ridge’s enrollment exceeds capacity by approximately 100 students, East Union’s by 31 and Victoria’s by 81. The 2012-13 school year will be the third year in a row open enrollment will be closed to those three schools.
District officials are waiting to see the January results of a Hazel Reinhardt Consulting Services demographic study before considering decisions on addressing the over-capacity conditions. “The study will drill down to enrollment projections over the next five years by elementary, middle and high school attendance area,” said Superintendent Jim Bauck. “Right now, enrollment at schools on the west side of the district looks tight, but we want to see if predictions indicate that will continue before discussing how to address it.” Pioneer Ridge Middle School is essentially right at capacity, but district administration recom mended keepi ng t he open enrollment option available for it. “Typically, the three middle schools work together through requests for transfers,” said Diane Kaiser, District 112 director of information technologies.
The district will continue to accept open enrollment applications to all other district schools. The deadline for submitting an open enrollment application is Jan. 15. While families can request open enrollment to specific schools, the district retains the right to assign a student to a different school to best maintain enrollment balance.
HIGH SCHOOL TRANSFERS “Open enrollment remains an option at the high school level, but the district retains the right to place the student in either high school. This is actually the same for elementary and middle school as well,” explained Bauck, in an e-mail. “In an attempt to manage enrollment to the point possible (it will never be perfect), the district will place high school students in the building with the smaller enrollment in order to decrease the enrollment difference. Families then make
the decision if they wish to enroll even if the building available is not their fi rst choice,” Bauck stated. “Open enrollment decisions at the high school level do not impact or limit intra-district transfers,” Bauck stated. At the high school level, whichever number of transfer requests between Chanhassen and Chaska High School is lower becomes the total number of transfers allowed from each school for that particular school year. So, if four students wish to transfer from Chaska to Chanhassen, and two want to transfer from Chanhassen to Chaska, only two transfers between both schools will be allowed. The superintendent reviews all requests and will give priority to those involving a younger sibling of a student currently attending the requested school. This school year, 234 students have open-enrolled into District 112, and 740 have openenrolled out.

2012 school levy to increase 1.96% BY CHUCK FRIEDBAUER friedchu@yahoo.com
The District 112 School Board has approved a 2012 levy that includes a 1.96 percent increase over the last levy. The 2 012 levy totals $38,131,676.89, compared to the 2011 levy of $37,397,875.30 – an increase of $733,801.59. The most sig ni ficant increase was $312,048 – due to a change in the district’s facility maintenance plans. The district switched from a practice of paying for alternative facilities projects on a year-by-year basis to the issuance of bonds to pay for the projects.
BONDS The board also approved the sale of bonds to refund the 2002A GO School Building Bonds. Springsted, the district’s financial advisor, accepted the low bid at an interest rate of 0.6538 percent from Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. for a projected savings of approximately $196,191. Over the past 10 years, the district has refunded several bonds
six times with a combined savings for taxpayers of $6,794,140. At the same time, Moody’s Investors Services confirmed the district’s Aa2 credit rating.
AUDIT The board approved the 2011 fiscal year audit performed by Larson Allen LLP this summer. “We have issued a “clean” audit report, which is the best opinion we are able to give,” said Brady Hoffman, a CPA with Larson Allen LLP. No compliance issues were noted in the review of District 112 in regards to laws, regulations, contracts, grants or Minnesota statutes, according to the audit. In addition, the report stated that the district has continued to do a commendable job of fi nancial planning and reacting to enrollment changes and limited new state funding.

Pledging against cyberbullying Chaska High School students Daelin Daubenberger, Jackie Schneider and Casey Stone are fighting against cyberbullying. The trio tackled the anticyberbulling project as part of a DECA project. (DECA is a club that prepares youth in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management careers.) The students hosted an event at Chaska High School where students and staff could pledge
to not cyberbully. The students signed up about 115 people who pledged. Students would write their Twitter account names or actual names on a small white board with their pledge, and have a photo taken, Daubenberger repor ted “Pledgers could either get their picture taken individually or with friends. It was a voluntary event, and the people chose to pledge on their own will.”

He taught and coached in the Detroit Area Catholic Schools for over 40 years until retiring in 2005. While in Detroit, he met Cathy McIvor. They were married Oct. 27, 1973. He was intensely proud of Cathy and their four children and two grandsons. Frank was an incredibly talented, humble, funny man, who loved his family, friends and God passionately, as well as teaching and coaching, as attested to in the many tributes to him posted on the website of the A.H. Peters Funeral Home, Grosse Pte, MI: http://obit.ahpeters.com/ Phone, 313-884-5500. Throughtout his illness, Frank remained “upbeat”, staying in contact with family and friends by phone and always praying for a “miracle”. His courage, and that of his family, was inspirational, and he was a “miracle” to all of us. I don’t think he ever quite believed how much we all loved him and how deeply he will be missed by us (his family) and all who knew him. A Memorial Mass will be celebrated in Detroit in February.

No one appreciates these colorful displays more than us, after failing to unwind that giant, impossibly tangled ball of holiday lights that’s been collecting dust in the basement for most of this year. Anyone that can do what these homeowners have done deserves not just oohs and aahs, but whatever is at the top of their Christmas wish list. (That much-coveted four-pack of 3-amp light fuses, perhaps.) So, a tip of the hat to these intrepid decorators, especially from those of us who are electrically challenged.

Soprano in the big city Local student selected to sing in Carnegie Hall BY CHUCK FRIEDBAUER friedchu@yahoo.com
Caitlin Davis knew she wanted to sing world-renowned composer and conductor Eric Whitacre’s music the moment she fi rst heard it. “I thought it was the bees knees,” the Chaska High School junior said. “But I never imagined I’d get to sing it in Carnegie Hall.” Davis will do just that, as she auditioned and was selected to perform with an International All-Ages Choir in The Choral Music of Eric Whitacre in Carnegie Hall this April. Her audition was not provided via a school class or teacher. Davis learned of the opportunity herself, in which Whitacre asked for auditions for the choir by submitting a singing video via YouTube. Whitacre periodically provides projects like his Virtual Choir, in which he requests submissions from individuals worldwide. Davis said she tracks Whitacre’s career and when this opportunity came along, she had to take a chance at it. “Singing is my world and I love Eric Whitacre’s music,” she said. “To be selected for this as a high

Children greeted Santa Claus, who arrived by fire truck, then held court in School of the Wise. Decorations were made at several establishments including Sir Knight Cleaners. Adults sampled local Parley Lake Wines at Crossroads Liquors, shopped for gifts at The Parlour and Salon Spatoria, and everyone gathered to see the tree lighting ceremony led by Santa Claus, Mayor Mary Hershberger Thun and her young helper Cassandra Wood.

Not only that, but among those who work hardest to keep this small town viable are its keepers of
the business. How can you not like a city like this? When I moved to Victoria almost seven years ago, it didn’t look the same. Seven years isn’t a long time in a city with a 150-plus-year history, and plenty has changed over the years as older residents and historians can tell you. However, my immediate thoughts went to downtown Victoria. When I came to Victoria, C.H. Carpenter Lumber was

MCNULTY closed and shuttered in what is now the Fresh Seasons parking lot. Where Fresh Seasons Market stands today, there were four empty, shuttered houses that once held growing Victoria families. The old cafe, where the empty lot sits next to the post office, was a relic from the past century and boarded up. The Notermann Building, once a thriving business earlier in the fi rst half of the 1900s, was an antique store in a brokendown 100-year-old building.
Renovation had begun. The Clock Tower Building was a new addition to the old downtown, looking fresh with its new awnings and clean good looks. The Creamery property was ready to be changed forever with new uses proposed for that lakeside property. The KidTalk Building was a new a new face on the corner, near the recently built condominiums on Stieger Lake. Salon Spatoria was a new business in town, as was the School of the Wise and Edward Jones. But there was a lot that needed to be done to bring it all forward. The Notermann Building was completely restored to its former glory in 20 06. It now houses Alphabet Junction Child Care, the Parlour Salon and Spa, Power of Life Chiropractic and The Hanger -- all new businesses in town. In 2007 I met an experienced busi nessman who ca me to Victoria to build something we hadn’t seen here in 50 years—
a grocery store. Not only did he build his beautiful store, but he became the Pied Piper of business in Victoria. Dale Riley was a mentor to other business men and women and he forged new friendships in a town that was ready for a leader of his kind. In conjunction with other business people, including James Crowley who has since been elected a city councilor, a new organization was formed. Currently, under the direction of Randy Miller, the Victoria Business Owners Association (VBOA) is coming into its own as an entity committed to a thriving business community in downtown Victoria and outside the central business district. The VBOA hosted “Christmas in Victoria” on Dec. 3. It was a magical winter afternoon and evening and it remi nded me, once agai n, how much I truly enjoy living in Victoria. My grandson and I had a delightful time par-
ticipating in the festivities, enjoying the fi res that kept us warm while we watched the snow come down around us. Carolers were there from Holy Family High School and Chanhassen High School singing our favorite Christmas songs, and Santa Claus came to town riding in the big Victoria fi re engine. He graciously sat for photos with at least 150 Victoria children at the School of the Wise. The mayor and her young friend, Cassandra lit the big Christmas tree where the old cafe used to sit next to the post office. Thank you to the business people who made it all happen.

Tax levy maintains city services, looks to future BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com
The Victoria City Council passed the 2012 city budget on Monday night, in which the city’s tax rate increased slightly to 39.2 percent, from 37.4 percent in 2011. The city’s total property tax levy is $4,050,492, which is an approximate $50,000 decrease from the preliminary levy set earlier this year. And it is a $56,000 decrease from last year’s levy. This is the fourth year that the city has reduced its levy, Finance Director Jylan Johnson said. Despite that $56,000 decrease from last year’s levy , City Administrator Don Uram pointed out that the city’s “overriding goal is to minimize city tax impact to tax payers. “So we took a careful look at fi nances to maintain existing services by doing things a little differently, using seasonal workers for such areas as parks and recreation and public works, and job sharing a building permit employee with the city of Minnetrista. “The preliminary levy proposed earlier this year has been reduced,” Uram said, “yet it still includes $150,000 for street maintenance.” This year the state Legislature changed how property
taxes are calculated. The legislation saved the state about $ 260 million by eliminating the homestead market value credit and introduced a homestead market value exclusion instead. The city ran the numbers to see what impact the legislation would have on the city’s fi nances, Johnson said. “The median assessed taxable home value for 2012 went down from $341,800 in 2011 to $317,900 for 2012, reflecting a 7 percent or $ 24,000 decrease in market value. “In order to compare apples to apples,” Johnson said, we took what property owners had gotten as a tax credit in 2011 (based on 2011’s $341,800 median home value) and converted that number to the new homestead market value exclusion, and used that for our calculatons.” The difference for median valued home will be a decrease of $42 for 2012.
OPTIMISTIC “I want to be optimistic about the future,” Uram told the council. “Year to date we have 67 housing starts, which have added $18 million in permit values. We have limited vacancy downtown, and we have developer interest in Victoria. It appears that things are picking up.”
PERMIT DEFERRAL Recent interest by a local builder prompted Uram to ask the council later in Monday’s meeting to consider developer fee deferment in sewer and water access charges (approximately $12,000) for a period of time. “Staff continues to look for ways to be helpful to businesses and residents,” Uram said. “A local builder would like a deferrment to build more houses. “Cash f low is important and typically they don’t have much,” Uram said. “We’d be looking at a deferral of some level of sewer and water access charges (approximately $3,900), for a time period of — either time of closing or six months which ever comes fi rst.” Councilor Jim Crowley was in favor of such an action, “to spur development,” Crowley said. “A lso it sends a message that we embrace development.” “And that we want to work with people,” Councilor Tom O’Connor said. Councilor Tom Strigel agreed. “It conveys the image we want to project of encouraging development,” Strigel said. The council voted unanimously to authorize a building permit deferral program to be reviewed on an annual basis.

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.” If you are interested in learning more about Dementia Resources or Augustana Emerald Crest call Christine at 952-9082215.

Wide open skating Local ice arenas offer ice time for skating enthusiasts of all ages BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com
W
ith the recent snowfall and turn in the weather you may be ready to bust out those ice skates for winter. One problem, most area cities have not flooded their outdoor rinks, meaning there’s nowhere to use those skates. That’s not true. Visit your local ice arena and participate in open skating. That’s what Julie Maines did with her 4-year-old son, John, at a recent open skating time at Shakopee Ice Arena. John, who is just learning to skate, was scooting around the ice enjoying his time while trying to put as many pucks in the net as he could. “Every time there is open skating, he wants to come,” Julie said. “He really loves it.” The indoor ice gives skaters like John Maines a chance to skate year round and, at this time of year, not worry whether it’s too cold out. It also gives them a chance to skate without much traffic. “We get anywhere from five to 15 people on a regular basis,” Shakopee Ice Arena Manager Josh Barrick said. “But it picks up this time of year because people are thinking winter and skating and sometimes it just gets too cold outside.” With 15 people on the ice that’s a lot of ice to skate around on whether you’re new to skating or have been skating for years. If you are a new skater or haven’t been on ice in years, the local arena is there to help you out. Most of the local arenas offer skate rental and even skate aids if needed. Skate rentals range from $2 to $5 depending what rink you attend. But if you prefer the cold air, outdoor skating will be available very soon. Most cities’ rinks should be flooded

More than 200 men have portrayed Sherlock Holmes in print, on stage, in film and on television the past 120 years.
IN PRINT The public’s first image of Sherlock, outside their own imaginations, came as illustrations accompanying Holmes’ creator Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories in London’s Strand magazine. These drawings were made by Sidney Paget. Between his first rendering in 1891 and his death in 1916, Paget published 540 drawings of Holmes. Paget was the first to depict Holmes in a deerstalker hat and Inverness cape. Nearly every artist since has followed his lead.
ON STAGE Among the many famous actors to portray Holmes are: Leonard Nimoy, known as Spock in television’s Star Trek series; Frank Langella, known for portraying movie villains, such as Count Dracula and Richard M. Nixon; and Charlton Heston, best remembered as Moses in the film “The Ten Commandments.” But first and foremost is William Gillette, who played Holmes more than 1,300 times between 1899 and 1930. Gillette introduced the familiar briar-stem pipe and, as a playwright, director and actor, is often credited with writing the famous “Elementary, My Dear Watson” line – which does not appear in any of Doyle’s stories.
IN FILM The first to portray Holmes on film, in a 1914 production of “A Study in Scarlet,” was James Bragington, chosen because he resembled the Holmes in Paget’s drawings. A bookkeeper by trade, it was his only film. The most prolific early Sherlockian film actor was Eille Norwood, who played the great detective in 47 films in the early 1920s. The black-and-white, silent films were less than 20 minutes long. The first Sherlockian actor whose voice was heard

on screen was Clive Brook, who appeared in three Holmes “talkies” between 1929 and 1932. The first actor to play Holmes in color, in a 1959 remake of “Hound of the Baskervilles,” was Peter Cushing. The most famous (and perhaps the most beloved) movie Sherlock of all time was Basil Rathbone. He became world famous by playing Holmes in 14 feature-length movies between 1939 and 1946. Since then, the list of noted actors playing Holmes includes George C. Scott, Michael Caine, Christopher Plummer, John Cleese, Nicol Williamson and now Robert Downey Jr.
ON TELEVISION Ronald Howard played Holmes in 39 episodes of a weekly TV series seen in America in the 1950s. Douglas Wilmer played Holmes on British television in the 1960s, as did Peter Cushing. Benedict Cumberbatch plays a 21stcentury Holmes in a new British TV series that you might be able to catch on PBS or DVD. Last but certainly not least, Jeremy Brett played a uniquely eccentric (and immensely popular) Holmes on Britain’s Granada Television network from 1984 through 1994. Eden Prairie resident Jeff Falkingham, whose two books have brought Sherlock Holmes to Minnesota, shares more interesting Sherlockian tidbits in his “Elementary, My Dear Watson: Investigating Sherlock Holmes” presentation at schools, libraries and historical societies across Minnesota and its neighboring states.

When you come home Maggie will be at the door and usually will talk to you with her cute trill. Pet her and she’ll loudly purr her gratitude. Maggie likes to be combed, picked up, and to play with interactive toys. When you sit she jumps into your lap and stays for a while if you pet her. Maggie is a smart, friendly, black/white 7-year-old who’d like to be the only cat. This foreclosure victim doesn’t understand why she needs a forever home. This abandoned pet is being housed by the Carver-Scott Humane Society and is available for adoption. All pets have been vet checked, wormed, had shots updated, have a micro ID implanted, checked for friendly dispositions and neutered/ spayed, if possible. The donation starts at $165 for cats and $195 for dogs. If you can give it a home, call the Humane Society at (952) 368-3553.

When it comes to Ugly Christmas Sweaters, there’s no limit to the tacky designs that are possible. Guests at Linda Schutz’s Ugly Christmas Sweater party were more than happy to model theirs. Schutz is at the far right. 219602
Say ‘Cheese’
Ugly sweaters Where to find an ugly Christmas sweater? Visit your local Goodwill store or resale shop. Already thinking about next year? Remind yourself to check out next summer’s garage sales. Or, go online and order one. Here are some Web sites to check.
Loud and proud Christmas sweaters become tradition Just when you think there can’t be any new ideas of celebrating Christmas, a long comes an idea like the Ugly Christmas Sweater party. Here’s what you do: Invite your friends to come to the party wearing the tackiest, gaudiest Christmas sweater they can find and promise a prize for the Ugliest One of All. If they don’t already own one, recommend they scour local Goodwill stores, thrift shops or raid a neighbor’s closet. Or direct them to websites like myuglychristmassweater.com, tipsyelves.com or uglychristmassweaterparty. com — and that’s just a short list — to buy one of kind eyesores. There’s a whole cottage industry out there catering to the Ugly Christmas Sweater movement. Last week Linda Schutz of Carver hosted her first Ugly Christmas Sweater party and the guests did not disappoint. They came wearing sweaters with peng uins, Christmas trees, Santa Claus and reindeer, snowf lakes, elves, poinsettias. One guest wore two battery packs to power the miniature LED lights blinking on her sweater. It was a stunning display. But her sweater didn’t take top prize. The winner was Suzanne Thiesfeld who had taken a glue gun and a box of Christmas odds and ends to a plain Jane red sweater and created a mélange of Christmas kitsch. The coup de grace was similarly decorated hat. Take note. In serious Ugly Christmas Sweater contests, details matter. Schutz of Carver doesn’t take credit for the idea of an Ugly Christmas Sweater Christmas party although she should, at least take credit for a variation on the theme. “Oh no!” Schutz is quick to clarify. “I didn’t invent it. It’s been going around for years.” But her family seems to be the first, as far as anyone knows to initiate and embrace the Ugly Christmas Sweater gift. “Growing up, no one in my family even owned an ugly Christmas sweater,” Schutz said. “My mother never was one to wear those cutesy Christmassy sweaters. “But it started with my own family, with my former husband and our kids,” Schutz said. “My former husband was one of those people who would wait until Dec. 24 to go Christmas shopping. And every year
I would say, ‘Really? I’m so special you wait until the last minute?’ He’d always end up getting me some ugly sweater, which I’d return. “Finally I said ‘If you’re going to buy me something ugly, make sure you shop at Von Maur (my favorite store), or Nordstroms. That way when I return it, it’s like having a gift certificate.’” From that point on, her family’s mission was to find the ugliest sweater they could fi nd, Christmas-themed or not. “We would open our presents, and it was the high point when I opened my gift,” Schutz said. “In fact, no one in my family ever gives gift certificates anymore,” Schutz said. “We buy really ugly sweaters or ugly clothes for each other. It’s more fun. We’re all laughing, and then you get to return it for something else. “W hen my daughter got mar ried, I bought my new son-in-law an awful arg yle sweater and plaid pants for his first Christmas with us. He’s opening up his gifts and he’s looking around like ‘Really? Seriously? You got these for me?’ And the rest of us are

laughing our heads off. “There have been a couple of years when I have actually liked the sweater and chose to keep it,” Schutz said. “All the while my family would sit there dumbfounded and flabbergasted, feeling a level of defeat so deep it would ruin their shining moment. They had worked so hard fi nding the ugliest thing they could and I ruined it by liking it.”

death and she knew they would be donated to the library. “I know it’s her memory,” said Ford, of the cookbooks. “This is what she loved.” Healey discovered her love for cooking while in graduate school. Ford said she started with the Silver Palate Cookbook – a book that remained a favorite of hers through the years. She regularly combed through her collection, sticking in whatever she could fi nd – pay stubs, greeting cards, even other recipes – to mark dishes to try. T h o s e wh o w e r e lu c k y enough to be invited to their Autumn Woods home knew they were in for a treat when Hea ley was cooki ng. “She raised the bar,” said Ford. He still remembers the fi rst meal she made for him when they were dating. “It was a Cornish hen with orange slices inside,” he recalled. “It was very succulent.” Ford noted that the saying about the way to a man’s heart being through the stomach was certainly true in his case. “She

ECLECTIC Healey’s collection runs the gamut, covering a variety of cuisines, techniques and notable chefs – everything from Susanna Foo’s “Chinese Cuisine” to Julia Child’s “In Julia’s Kitchen with Master Chefs.” “What I love about it is that it’s so varied,” said Brechon. “She was very eclectic.” The donation couldn’t come at a better time as a number of television shows and channels devoted to food continue to drive widespread interest in home cooking. “W hen we sta r ted there weren’t a lot of foodies,” said Ford. “Now people are so fascinated with cooking.” “This is fabulous and it’s going to be available to all Carver County people,” said Brechon, of the collection.

E
than Loosbrock has one main goal this season – wrestle in downtown St. Paul in March. The Chaska junior is off to a great start toward his goal, having won the 152-pound weight bracket in the Chaska/Chanhassen Holiday Wrestling Classic Saturday. Loosbrock, who entered the weekend with three wins in four matches, went 3-0 Saturday, which included a pin over Corey Berry of Champlin Park with 34 seconds remaining in the title match. Berry, a 2011 state qualifier is ranked No. 9 in state. “It definitely capped off a good day. Anytime you can keep up the intensity through the third period when you’re leading, sometimes your opponent can’t match the intensity and it breaks his will and it ends up in a pin or a greater margin,” said Loosbrock, who was leading in the decision range when the fall occurred. Loosbrock reached the fi nal with a 20-10 win over Reese Kling of Minnetonka. The Chaska wrestler was seeded No. 2 in Section 2AAA at 135 pounds last season, but fell in the semifi nals 12-1 to Mark Mustradi of Shakopee 12-1 in the semifi nal round. He ended up one spot out of state placing in third. “Being one match away, you realize how close you were, but you know you’re not in that top group yet. I’m pushing to make sure I’m in that top group this year. I’m shooting for fi rst place (at sections), and if that isn’t possible, for sure second,” Loosbrock said. This season already, he went 2-1 and placed third overall at the Lakeville North Invitational and defeated No. 9-ranked Chase Monger of Eden Prairie 10-3 in a dual victory over the Eagles Dec. 9. On Saturday, though, Loosbrock was at his best. He had a pin in round one and a major

His second pin on the day earned him co-MVP of the tournament along with New Prague’s Griffi n Parriot. “I think I’m off to a good start, but I think I still have room for improvement. When you have a loss on your record, there’s always something you can improve on,” Loosbrock said. Ranked No. 8 in Class AAA, Loosbrock only loss came against 2011 Class AA state champion Gabe Fogarty of Scott West Ethan’s younger brother, Isaac, also won a title at 106 pounds with a 2-0 record. He took down Noah Sattler of Hopkins 7-2 in the championship match. Loosbrock is 5-1 on the season. “It’s good to see. Obviously I’ve watched him his whole life and I know how hard he’s worked. He’s put in the hours and it’s good to see the work
ethic pay off for him,” Ethan said. A third Chaska/Chanhassen wrestler to win an individual championship Saturday was Brenden Olevson, who went 3-0 to win the title at 138 pounds. The Storm Hawk wrestler won by technical fall, 17-1, over Nathaniel Haecherl of Hopkins, in the fi nals. C/C placed second overall in the eight-team field with 197.5 points. New Prague won the invite with 207.5 points with Hopkins rounding out the top three with 185. The Storm Hawks had three wrestlers reach the fi nals, but fi nish on the losing end. Luke Finkel was defeated 3-2 in the 113-pound title match to Cedric Jimenez of Buffalo. Heavyweight Reid Johnson had a big third-period pin in the semifi nals, but lost to state-ranked Oscar Arteaga of Minnetonka by fall at 3:41 of the second stanza.
State-ranked Trent Butcher also was beat in the fi nals by James Berg of New Prague 6-4 at 126 pounds. Rounding out the C/C field were Joel Larson (fourth), Sam Christianson (fi fth), Zach Boyum (fi fth), Josh Blackowiak (third), Zach Bell (fourth) and Justin Goeman (fourth). The day before, C/C topped section foe Eden Prairie 42-26. The Storm Hawks led 24-3 after six weight classes. Finkel, Larson and Christianson all won by fall, while Isaac Loosbrock and Olevson scored decision victories. Eden Prairie cut the deficit to 27-14, but back-to-back pins from Blackowiak and Goeman sealed the win. Johnson also had a 3-2 win at heavyweight. The Storm Hawks travel to Victoria to face MoundWestonka/Holy Family Catholic and Montgomery-Lonsdale/ LeCenter in a triangular at 5 p.m. Friday.
Chaska fans may have needed a program during the home opener Dec. 9 against Orono. And, for good reason. Almost the entire team is new to the varsity program this year. “It’s a pretty big jump. It’s a lot more physical and aggressive. It’s a lot quicker and you really have to get used to it fast,” said Chaska’s Eric West, who split time between junior varsity and B-squad last year.. Inexperience, though, didn’t get in the way of big-time plays late in a 65-64 win over the Spartans. Orono used an 18-0 run in the first half to take a 23-7 lead at Chaska, but the young Hawks battled back, putting the fi rst half behind them. “We just kind of fell apart. We came into the locker room and regrouped. We talked that we needed to D-up and be strong with the ball. It all just came together in the second half and we played as a team,” West said. “We talked about two things. The first was we struggled with their half-court trap. So we talked about the adjustments we were going to make to attack that. We had talked about their full-court press and we had no idea they were going to use a scramble and our guys have never seen anything like that at St. Louis Park (in the opener),” Chaska coach Dana Kallman said. “But the biggest thing we talked about was just putting that first half behind us and it was over and done. I told these guys if we made some layups – because we missed a couple early in the first five minutes – and if we got a couple run-out buckets, the crowd would get into it and we’ll be right there.” Orono, the defending Class 3A champions, led 34 -23 at halftime and by as many as 15 points in the second half. Chaska rallied behind the play of West, a sophomore, who scored 22 points – 15 in the second half. West’s free throws with 1:54 remaining gave the Hawks its fi rst lead since 7-5. “I just started driving more and stopped relying on the three,” West said. “My confidence was down in the first half, but once I made that first shot after half I kind of caught on,” the sophomore forward said. Orono tied the game, but a free throw from Luke Stone with 10.6 seconds remaining gave Chaska the lead for good. Anthonie Tholey passed up a three-point shot in the fi nal seconds and the Spartans never got a fi nal shot off. “It’s huge for the confidence piece. Most for the young kids, but even some of the seniors that played behind a strong class last year. Like Eric said, I think some of them are shocked at how much faster the game is and how much more physical it is,” Kallman said. Besides West, Stone was in double figures with 11 points – all in the second half. Isaac Tewes also had nine, while Kolby Seiffert had seven for Chaska. Brady Wohler led all scorers with 24 points for Orono. Wohler, who converted only 9-of-19 free throws (3-for-12 in the second half ), is the lone starter back from last year’s state champion squad. “I think we played 11. We had a bunch of guys step up and that adds a lot to the team chemistry. I just got done telling them it’s probably going to be a different guy every night that leads us,” Kallman said.

Chaska didn’t look like newcomers in the season opener Dec. 6, overcoming a four-point halftime deficit in a 60-59 win at St. Louis Park. Trailing by a point in the final minute, Ryan Spencer hit a floater with 30 seconds remaining for the winning points. St. Louis Park had two chances to win, but West blocked the fi rst attempt, while the second shot hit the front iron. West netted a career-high 25 points, while Tewes and Seiffert were also in double figures with 13 and 10, respectively, for the Hawks. Chaska trailed 33-29 at halftime. A slow start didn’t do in Chaska against Orono, but it did less than 24 hours later in a home game against Bloomington Jefferson. Trailing 28-18 at halftime, the Hawks weren’t able to get much closer, falling 63-50 to the Jaguars, which were playing its fi rst game of the season. Jackson Mi l ler scored a game-high 29 points – the only player in the game in double figures – for Jefferson. Seiffert had a team-high nine points for Chaska (2-1), while West, Stone and Nick Valentini each had seven points. In total, 10 Hawks scored in the contest.

BOYS HOCKEY
Chaska comes up just short in latest loss to Tech BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com
Chaska and St. Cloud Tech went back and forth with goals in the second period, but it was the Tigers who got the only goal in the third period for a 3-2 win
at Chaska Community Center Saturday. Mike Eagle netted the gamewinner with 3:52 remaining in the fi nal stanza to sink Chaska to 0-5 on the season. The Hawks twice rallied from a goal down in the second
period to send the game into the third period knotted at two. Cade Gersich netted his fi rst goal of the season from Dan Esping 27 seconds after Tech got the opening goal from Isaac Hiltner. Again, 18 seconds after Tech
scored for the 2-1 lead, Josh Winslow tied the game at two with a power-play goal from David Childers with three seconds remaining in the period. Blake Jackson made 35 saves for the Hawks, who were outshot 37-28. Chaska continues
its streak of five games on home ice with a 7:15 p.m. contest tonight against New Prague. Earlier in the week, Tyler Brodersen netted a hat trick to lead St. Louis Park to an 8-0 victory over Chaska Dec. 8. The Orioles broke a scoreless
tie with a goal with 6:21 remaining in the first period on Alec Baer’s unassisted goal. St. Louis Park added two more goals in the stanza followed by five goals in the second period. Marshall Tema also had a goal and three assists for SLP.

Snowy owls irrupting in Upper Midwest It is looking like this winter is shaping up to be the winter of the “snowies,” and I don’t mean the frozen white stuff that falls from the sky. Nope, I am referring to snowy owls (Nyctea scandiaca). Snowy owls are an amazing species of owl that normally live in the arctic regions of Canada and Alaska. Every now and then — let’s say every three to five years — some of these owls show up in the upper Midwest, Pacific Northwest and along the Eastern seaboard. This is one of those years. You see, this is not owl migration. No, this is owl irruption. There is a big difference between migration and irruption. Migration is a predictable or annual event in which the birds leave their home ranges at a predictable time, such as the end of summer, and move to warmer places, or at least less extreme climates. In spring they return. This is all very predictable. Every single year, right on cue, the migration happens. Irruption is not regular or annual. It occurs in irregular intervals. It is difficult to predict an irruption year, although many try to predict with varying amounts of accuracy. A good example of migration can be seen in the warblers. These tiny songbirds leave

their home ranges at the end of summer and migrate down to central and south America. In spring they return. Just like clockwork. Birds such as the snowy owl, great gray owl and northern hawk owl are irruptive. Normally they don’t go anywhere. They stay in their home range. However, every so often they pick up and head out on a long-distance journey. So at this point you might be asking yourself a couple questions. First of all, how do you know if this is an irruptive year and what makes the birds do this behavior? First, it would be normal to have a few, and I mean just a few, snowy owls being reported across any given region in a given winter. This year, hundreds are being reported in the Upper Midwest
alone. Other areas are also reporting large numbers of these large white birds. So, armed with this information, I would say it’s safe to say we are having an irruptive winter with snowy owls. So why does this happen. Traditionally it has always been thought that an acute food shortage causes these movements. So in other words the normal food supply for the owl would be running low, crashed, and the owls would be starving and would leave their traditional areas in search of another food source. I remember back in the ’60s and ’70s the common belief is that lemmings, a small arctic rodent, would commit mass suicide by all jumping off a cliff. This turned out to not be true on so many levels, starting with the fact there are very few cliffs of sufficient height in the arctic in which to jump. And besides, no wild animals have ever been documented to commit suicide. The drive to survive is way too strong. During the past few years, studies have shown that the lemming populations in the arctic are at an all-time high, so this wouldn’t support conventional thinking, would it? So what the current thinking is, due to the abundance of food supplies, the owls have been

A snowy owl perches on a fence post. able to reproduce at record numbers. High population of owls has lead to a natural dispersal of birds out of their home range. This is a fairly common behavior for many of mother natures critters. Exploring new opportunities is how some animals are so successful. Irruption is just one more way to fi ll a niche. W hen these owls irrupt from their natural home range they don’t just go south. They also go east and west. We often think that the birds make a beeline due south. Obviously not true. Many owls will end up along the West Coast. I just was looking at some information regarding 10 snowy owls together along the coast of
Washington state. Many of these owls will end up along the East Coast, in places including New York. Once established in a spot, the owls often stay put for several months or at least to the end of winter when they will return back to their home range. Let’s hope the snowies survive winter and return safely home in spring thus completing the cycle. Until next time...

FIRE ROUNDUP
Mound hands Holy Family its first defeat After scoring 31 goals in their first four games, Holy Family Catholic got a taste of their own medicine Saturday in a 6-2 loss to Mound-Westonka in the Wright Count Conference opener. Trailing 2-1 heading into the third period, the White Hawks scored five times on 11 shots in the final stanza. MoundWestonka netted a pair of goals in the opening 125 seconds to take the lead for good. Riley Williams scored twice, while Jeremy Schultz, David Bingham and Alex Bakke each had a goal in the period. Holy Family (4-1) twice had leads in the opening two periods.

The senior forward scored three goals, including the game winner with 3:05 to play to lead the Fire to a 6-4 road win over the Minneapolis Novas. The Novas is a co-op of all seven public schools in Minneapolis. Trailing 4-3 in the third period, Peterson netted his second goal of the game on the power play to knot the score at four with 8:35 to play. After the Novas went a man short on an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, Riebling capitalized exactly one minute into the power play for the gamewinner.

HAWKS ROUNDUP
Chaska dance team continues to rack up titles Chaska dance did something it never had done before in an invitational at Eastview High School Saturday. All four teams – high kick and jazz/funk varsity and junior varsity – won fi rst-place trophies. “We had a really fun weekend,” Chaska Head Coach Kris Ryland said. “It has never happened in Chaska history where we have won all four categories we competed in. It was very exciting.” In jazz, Chaska topped section rival Benilde-St. Margaret and Byron, while in high kick Faribault and Pequot Lakes were the next competitors. In both dances, Chaska had perfect ranking scores of three. “We were thrilled to beat Faribault – another team that dropped down a class like us.
I think it’s the fi rst time we’ve beat them in kick since 1999 when we won the state high kick title,” Ryland said. The margin in average score between Chaska and Faribault was 84.6 and 81.2. Nine days after winning the fi rst high kick competition in the five-event Missota Conference season, Chaska took fi rst place in the first jazz/funk competition Dec. 8 at Northfield. Chanhassen was runner-up for the second straight meet, while Holy Angels was third overall. Chaska leads the standings with 12 points fol lowed by Chanhassen with 10 and Holy Angels with eight. “We had a nine-point advantage in scores over Chanhassen, so that was good,” said
Ryland. The average scores saw Chaska with 84, Chanhassen at 75 and Holy Angels with 69. The second round of dances starts tonight at Chaska High School with a competition Monday at Chanhassen High School. Both meets begin at 7 p.m.
BIG WIN FOR FIRE Hannah Schonhardt was waiting for that big game. The Holy Family Catholic senior had that game Dec. 9 against rival Chaska. Schonhardt, a Division I recruit, scored a game-high 16 points in a 46-40 win over the Hawks. Holy Family led 24 -21 at halftime. Chaska’s leading scorer, Ellie Thompson, was held to seven points in the loss. Sierra
Leggett netted 10 points, while Kendal l Baab and Hannah Rohe had eight. Michaela Rasmussen also was in double figures with 10 points for the Fire, which evened its record at 2-2 with the win. After being taken to overtime on Dec. 9 in a five-point win over Lakeville North, topranked and defending Class 4A champion Hopkins was out to show everyone it was only a hiccup. The Royals, which Chaska Head Coach Tara Seifert said had a rotation of 12 players that would play on any other team in the state, jumped out to a 50-19 halftime lead en route to an 82-43 home win Saturday. Hopkins converted on eight three-pointers and was 16-for-20
from the free-throw line. Nia Cof fey and Mikaa la Shackleford each had 19 points for Hopkins, which is 8-0 on the season. Baab had a season-high 13 points to lead Chaska (1-3). Leggett added eight points, while Page Stanberry and Nicole Parsons each had five.
GREAT START FOR GYMNASTS Chaska/Chanhassen gymnastics defeated a strong Lakeville North squad Dec. 8 and then followed it up with a fi rst-place showing at the Northfield Invitational two days later to get the season off a good foot. Rachel Nornes was the team’s top competitor, scoring a 34.8 in all-around at the invitational in Northfield. She also had a 33.1
against the Panthers. T he S t or m H awk s b e at Lakevi l le Nor th by a slim margin of 133.625 to 133.3. At the Northfield Invite, varsity won the meet with a score of 132.850. “Sophomore Leah Kutsch is looking to be a very strong addition to the team this year. She is one of our top vault competitors,” said Head Coach Jamie Tsurusaki. “The team is doing really well so far and we are excited to see the improvements over the season.” C/C begins its home schedule at 6:30 p.m. Friday against Northfield at Chanhassen High School. The Raiders were without two of its top gymnasts Saturday. Northfield scored a 141.25 Dec. 8 against Owatonna.

Blueline sparks C/C to league victory BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com
A good power play begins with the play on the blueline and freshman Megan Hinze played the role of the quarterback Saturday in Chaska/ Chanhassen’s 5 -1 win over Northfield. With the score 1-0 in favor of the Storm Hawks, Hinze’s blast from the point at 8:40 of the second period proved to be the game-winner. The freshman’s slapshot whizzed past Northfield goaltender Lizzy Shellum over the right shoulder. Hinze added a second goal in the fi nal stanza for her fi rst career two-goal game.
C/C is now 3-0-1 in the Missota Conference. New Prague and Red Wing are also 3-0 in league play. The Storm Hawks face New Prague Saturday on the road. Casey Lindquist got C/C on the board fi rst with a powerplay goal with 3:46 remaining in the opening period. Assists went to Anna Lano and Emma Silkey. Silkey was rewarded from a hustle play in the second period during a 4-on-4 situation. After chasing down a puck in the corner, the Chaska junior managed to get in front of the net and score her 12th goal of the season for the 3-0 lead. Nor th field netted a goal

Down 15 points with seven minutes to play, the Stars got within two points in the fi nal seconds before running out of time. Rebecca Gasper and Katie Meinke each had career-highs with points with 17 and 16 points, respectively. Gasper also led the team defensively with numerous def lections and steals, according to Coach Butch Sprenger. SWC fell 49-38 to Arizona Lutheran Academy the night before despite leading 29-27 at halftime. Foul trouble hindered the Stars much of the second half and allowed ALA, a private school from Phoenix, to control the fi nal 18 minutes. Lauren Robertson led the way in scoring with 12 points, while Meinke had a team-high seven rebounds. “Amy Reimer and Madison Dudick were able to get some extended playing time off of the bench and did a great job,” said Sprenger. Earlier in the week, Southwest Christian reversed the roles from its second game loss to Zimmerman, rallying from a halftime deficit to win 42-40 over CHOF at Trinity Lutheran School Dec. 6.

PILLARS OF THE ARTS
Artistic vision transcends disability Despite a vision disability Jim Hansel of Chaska has made a career in the visual arts. By the age of 4, Jim was wearing glasses, and by the fifth grade, due to a degenerative eye condition, called Stargardt’s disease, he was legally blind. But he always painted pictures. Hansel graduated from Chaska High School, and then attended the University of Minnesota for two years and graduated from the University of Minnesota-Duluth with a degree in art. While he took painting classes at CHS, he never signed up for one in college. Instead, he studied commercial art and design. But throughout, he was painting. During Jim’s senior year of college, he interned at a Duluth ad agency. After graduation his first job was assisting the great relief sculptor, Bill Mack. Being part of the manufacturing team, Jim worked in downtown Chaska. But, Jim was painter. As many artists begin, Jim attended shows: Uptown, the Edina Art Fair, the Wildlife Heritage show held at the downtown Minneapolis Dayton’s auditorium. He recently showed his art at the

Minnesota State Fair in the Grandstand. Over the years, Jim has become one of the United States’ most collected and premier wildlife, nature and landscape artists, with images based on Americana themes; he paints nature. His artistic style is distinctive. His canvases are large and his images are studies in contrast. Light shines. Three-dimensionally, the observer is invited into his settings. Jim says the size, contrast and light are all elements resulting from his very limited eyesight. Regardless of the reason the effect is both stunning and comforting. Jim works very close to his subject; he’s been caught with paint on his nose. Typically

White is out in southwestern Minnesota when he gets a call from his sister. She is with her new husband Alan at a conference in Arizona, when he goes missing. She begs her brother to fly out and help her. Bob and his fiancé Luce, both go out to Flagstaff, only to find that Alan has been injured in a fall. He was hiking in a canyon with a woman he had known years ago, and she has a 13-yearold son who claims that Alan is his father. What a mess! Alan and Julie were looking to solve the mysterious disappearance of Ron Walking Eagle years earlier. Julie had seen him go into the canyon, but he never came out. Was it the local property developer who was in a dispute with Ron about the canyon, or his son? Or did Ron just disappear on his own?

“MI 5,” Volumes 1-9 I am in the middle of volume 6 right now. I fi rst saw this interesting series on BBC America; it is great that we can get them from the library now. There are some wonderful British actors in this series: Hermione Norris, Miranda Raison, Rupert Penry-Jones, and Peter Firth in volume 6. Britain is on the verge of a historic peace accord, when MI 5 is manipulated by false intel to blow up a train in Tehran, unleashing a deadly virus. The man on the train carrying the suitcase with the canister survives, but is taken to England, exposing thousands to a variation of the plague. The team has less than 24 hours to fi nd a vaccine.

Victoria Express receives award Five outstanding programs from counties across Minnesota were recognized with Association of Minnesota Counties’ (AMC) 2011 ‘Outstanding Service Awards’ for exhibiting excellence and innovation in their counties. AMC President Duane Bakke, a Fillmore County Commissioner, presented the awards at the association’s annual conference Dec. 5 in Minneapolis. The recipients were nominated by their counties and selected by a committee of county officials. Carver County received a “Libraries Express Service” award for its “Victoria Express Library,” where library users
request, pick up and return library materials using selfservice computer kiosks, automated secured locker systems and book returns. Washington County also received the library award for a partnership with the city of Hugo. Carver County partnered with the city of Victoria to place the Express Library in the city’s recreation center, open 110 hours, seven days per week. “These projects, the first in the state, demonstrate a creative solution to the growing demand for public library service in a time of reduced funding. They allow the counties to provide library access where demand is insufficient to support a traditional library operation. Their success demonstrates that there is interest
in replicating these projects throughout Minnesota, especially in out-state Minnesota,” stated an AMC press release. “The express library solution is an innovative and affordable stepping stone between no physical library in a community and building a traditional ‘bricks and mortar’ library branch.”
Circulation hits 1 million For the third year in a row, the Carver County Libraries have reached a circulation of over one million items – books, magazines, books on CD, and DVDs. As of Nov. 17, circulation reached over 1 million. “I would like to thank the community for suppor ting
their local libraries and I would like to congratulate the library staff for reaching this milestone,” said Carver County Commissioner and Library Board Member Gayle Degler. “In these difficult financi a l t i me s , l ibr a r y u s a g e tends to increase,” said Melissa Brechon, di rector of the Carver County Library. “The library offers many free ser vices and prog rams for children, teens and adults. We are helping our customers fi nd jobs, research companies, fi le electronic job applications. We help children with homework, and help people of all ages fi nd recreational reading, research health issues, and fi nd unusual ways to save money. We partner with other organizations whenever possible, to
provide better services.” For more information on ser vices a nd prog ra ms offered at your local library visit www.carverlib.org or call the Chanhassen Library at (952) 227-1500.
24/7 service at Ask MN W h at m a ke s volc a n o e s erupt? Who wrote “The Catcher in the Rye?” Where can I fi nd the materials that I need for my research project at three o’clock in the morning? The Carver County Library can now assist the public in answering these questions and more through its participation in a service called Ask MN, a reference cooperative which
provides 24/7 chat reference to residents of Carver County. Carver County joins other Minnesota public libraries including Hennepin, Dakota, and Washington counties, as well as academic libraries such as Hamline University, Augsburg College, and the University of Minnesota, in Ask MN. Librarians from across the United States and around the world take turns staffi ng the reference cooperative 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For more info, visit www. carverlib.org and click on the “Live Online Reference” link on the library’s home page.

Degler moved, Ische seconded, to open the public hearing on the Community Development Agency’s request for the County to provide its general obligation pledge to CDA bonds. Motion carried unanimously. Julie Frick, CDA, explained they were asking the County to pledge their general obligation to complete the acquisition of 114 units of subsidized housing in Chaska Kathy Aho, CDA attorney, reviewed the background of the request. She pointed out the proposed financing for three projects that included the issuance of 2.2 million of County backed general obligation bonds for the purchase of Waybury Apartments and the two refinancing projects. She stated the benefits of the County backing would reduce interest rate, help to reduce the amount that needs to be borrowed and reduce debt service. She highlighted the statutory requirements and indicated the CDA held their public hearing on October 20th. She stated any bond secured by the general obligation pledge counts against the overall debt service limits for this type of housing. Aho indicated Waybury Apartments were constructed in 1979 and the purchase would be accomplished by assuming the debt obligations and additional proceeds of 2.2 million. She stated the property had been appraised and supports the purchase price. Aho indicated the project has 114 rental units and will preserve affordable housing in the County. She identified the sources and uses of funds for the acquisition. She highlighted the estimated net revenues available for debt service coverage, pointing out the debt coverage was above the minimum Statutory requirement. Aho also pointed out the building has been well occupied in the recent past. She indicated if the request is granted bonds would be sold in November and the closing held in December. She clarified the second two refinancing proposals do not require a public hearing as they are refunding existing bond issues for the Town Center and Bluff Creek projects. She reviewed the estimated refunding savings. Aho highlighted the maximum amount of general obligation bonds that may be issued under Statutes and the County’s remaining bonding capacity. Frick clarified MHF has to approve any potential buyer and, at this point, would require a nonprofit or public entity to assume the debt. David Hemze, County Administrator, recommended the Board should have a broader policy discussion on the County’s remaining bonding capacity for this type of housing. No public testimony was received. Ische moved, Degler seconded, to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. Ische offered the following Resolution, seconded by Degler: Resolution #57-11 Approving the Pledge by the Carver County Community Development Agency of the Full Faith and Credit of Carver County to Housing Development Bonds to be Issued by the CDA

continued from previous page On vote taken, all voted aye. Lynch moved, Degler seconded, to open the public hearing on creating the Engler Boulevard tax abatement district. Motion carried unanimously David Frischmon, Finance, explained back in August the Board approved a joint powers agreement with the City of Chaska and included in that agreement was the County’s contribution of 1.4 million for the Engler Boulevard improvements. He noted the recommended financing for the project was to create a tax abatement district. He pointed out the County Board’s tax abatement policy for development driven projects. He indicated the County’s portion of the new tax revenues would be diverted from the new tax base and would be used to pay debt service with no impact to the rest of the County’s tax base. He stated, following the public hearing, he would be asking the Board to call for the bond sale. No public testimony was received. Lynch moved, Degler seconded, to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. Ische offered the following Resolution, seconded by Degler: Resolution #58-11 Approving Property Tax Abatements for Public Improvement Projects On vote taken, all voted aye. Lynch offered the following Resolution, seconded by Ische: Resolution #59-11 Providing for the Sale of $1,485,000 G.O Tax Abatements Bonds, Series 2012A On vote taken, all voted aye. David Hemze, County Administrator, appeared before the Board to review his recommended 2012 budget and levy. He thanked the Board for the direction they provided. He explained the County was a service provider and highlighted the services provided to taxpayers. Hemze pointed out the continued pattern of mitigating property taxes on an average value home and stated taxes have been decreasing since 2005. David Frischmon, Finance, reviewed the 2012 overall budget strategy and 2.9% across the board cut resulting in 1.3 million in levy savings. He explained the impact of the elimination of the market value homestead credit and the plan to shift 1.4 million from county program aid to the operating budget. He reviewed the proposed 2012 revenue and expenditure categories and clarified the increase in capital outlay was primarily for Road and Bridge projects paid for by grants or money set aside from bond sales. Frischmon pointed out the levy savings by division. He stated the largest savings came from staffing with the voluntarily early retirement program creating opportunities to not fill vacancies and avoid layoffs. He identified capital projects and funding sources and pointed out the 1.4 million county program aid shift may impact pay as you go projects. Frischmon highlighted the tax impact to residential and commercial properties. He noted the public hearing on December 1st and plan to adopt the budget December 13th. The Board thanked Hemze and Frischmon for the update. Chair Maluchnik explained he needed to leave the Board meeting at this time to attend a meeting of State business leaders and turned the gavel over to Vice Chair Lynch. Martin Walsh, Parks, requested the Board approve agreements for the Lake Minnewashta Regional Park and TH 41 trail and underpass. He explained a trail underpass was part of the Parks Master Plan and 41 was recognized as a barrier to getting in the Park. He indicated they did apply for transportation enhancement funds and were successful in receiving one million. He reviewed the scope of the project that included 1.6 miles of trail construction inside the Park, one mile along TH 41 and the construction of a TH 41 underpass. He stated trees would need to be removed in certain areas due to the steep slopes. Walsh explained the funding breakdown and project timeframe. Ische moved, Degler seconded, to approve the joint powers agreement with the City of Chanhassen and authorized the County Administrator to sign; to adopt Resolution #60-11, Approval of Limited Use permit within State Highway Right of Way, Approval of Permanent Easement in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park and Authorization of Right of Way Certificate #1 for Lake Minnewashta Regional Park, TH 41 Trail and Underpass Project SP 010-090-003 and authorized the County Engineer to sign plans and specification for the project and authorized the project to be advertised for bid. Motion carried. Ische moved, Degler seconded, to adjourn the Regular Session at 10:40 a.m. Motion carried. David Hemze County Administrator (These proceedings contain summaries of resolutions. The full text of the resolutions are available
for public inspection in the office of the county administrator.) (Published in the Chaska Herald on Thursday, December 15, 2011; No. 6766) REGULAR SESSION November 15, 2011 A Regular Session of the Carver County Board of Commissioners was held in the County Government Center, Chaska, on November 15, 2011. Chair Randy Maluchnik convened the session at 4:03 p.m. Members present: Randy Maluchnik, Chair, Gayle Degler, James Ische and Tom Workman. Members absent: Tim Lynch. Under public comments, Todd Pufhal, Legislative Director for the Labors District Council of MN and ND, explained he was speaking on behalf of trade union members and representing 1,000 fellow craftsmen who live in Carver County. He stated when they first learned of the Fleet Farm project, their hopes were raised that this would mean jobs and referenced the tax subsidies that went into the project to make it a reality. Pufhal indicated the jobs did not go to the people that needed the work the most. He stated Fleet Farm’s contractor has relied on the uncertain abilities of out of town workers at the cheapest wages available. He believed Fleet Farm should reconsider their hiring practices. He asked that the County make good on what Carver County’s taxes have paid for and hold Fleet Farm accountable and ensure they are using tax dollars to retain high quality local jobs and create high quality job growth as is required under the Business Subsidy Policy. Todd Mackey, business manager for Local 563, stated he represented nearly 5,000 members and he was present to raise concerns with Fleet Farm. He suggested the contractor hired by Fleet Farm was exploiting workers, paying them $7.25 an hour. He stated they have reached out to Fleet Farm to give them a list of contractors that have a long history of doing this work. MacKey indicated when this issue got started, they attempted to contact Fleet Farm but they did not return their calls. Mackey stated they have a lot of out of work members and were planning for this work. He stated Fleet Farm has barred them access from the job. MacKey asked the Board to hold Fleet Farm accountable and find out what is going on with their hiring practices. He believed this is not what the taxpayers thought would happen with the project considering the subsidies that would be going into the project. Pete Parris, 8350 Airport Road, stated as much as he looked forward to Fleet Farm to coming to the County, he was disappointed to see they were paying $7.25 an hour. He thought they could do better out here and suggested this puts a black mark on the County. He hoped future problems could be addressed ahead of time. Degler moved, Ische seconded, to approve the agenda. Motion carried unanimously. Ische moved, Workman seconded, to approve the minutes of the November 1, 2011, Regular Session. Motion carried unanimously. Community announcements were made by the Board.

Distinctive Destinations
Five hot tipss for cool tripss Story and photos by Stacey Wittig
Tanzania: Safari; Zanzibar: Beach Holiday Experience the wonders of Africa’s wildlife by hot-air balloon. Get an up-close view of wildebeest herds pushing across the Serengeti, zebras zigzagging through endless grasses and elephants bathing in wadis. Go wild on a walking or vehicle safari and then sleep tight in your deluxe safari tent. After witnessing the largest mass movement of mammals on the planet (say that five times), fly to Zanzibar, Tanzania’s “Spice Island” (see photo, page 10). Here on the Indian Ocean’s white sands, cultures have collided for centuries. Stay in exotic Stone Town where Arab harems danced for sultans, Indian spice merchants left splendid architecture and Dr. Livingstone (I presume) began his last journey into the Swahili mainland. Or stay at a beach resort for some of the world’s best scuba diving. www.adventuresinafrica.com.
Hike Peru’s Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
Nitaya Panemalaythong was skeptical when a friend suggested she look into the Miss Minnesota USA competition last year. She’d done some modeling before, but thought, “No, that’s not my thing. I’m not a pageant person.” But then she did more research and read about the scholarships that are available to winners. “I was going back to school and that prompted me because education is really important to me,” she said. Less than a year later she was crowned Miss Minnesota USA 2012 during the pageant finals Nov. 27 at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center. At 26, Panemalaythong was the oldest contestant in the competition, which is open to unmarried women ages 18 to 26. “This was my only chance,” she said. There were 22 other contestants from around the state who competed in a private interview process with judges, then moved on stage for the evening gown and swimwear competitions. Panemalaythong has now changed her tune about pageants. “I liked getting ready back stage, dressing up and getting to know the girls,” she said. “A lot of people get a misconception about pageants.” Several of the other contestants were “firsttimers,” Panemalaythong said, and there were some who have competed for many years. “This is my first pageant ever. Some girls do it because they want to earn the title and others just want to have fun,” she said. According to the state pageant offices at Future Productions, Panemalaythong will receive “thousands of dollars in prizes and awards.”
High Living Li Along Peru’s Ancient Pathways Adventure travelers love the trek to Machu Picchu, the “Lost City of the Incas,” for its blend of l action, rugged beauty and lavish pampering.

In the meantime, Panemalaythong will continue to work full time at her corporate job and attend classes at Normandale Community College where she is studying business, marketing and management.

She will also encourage young women to try out for the pageant – specifically women from the Asian culture who are typically more shy and reserved. “It’s a great experience and you can make lifetime friends out of this,” she said. “I think it definitely shows dedication,
