No rest for Carver’s pillow czar My Pillow is growing fast

BY NICK MASON nicholascmason@comcast.net

Mike Lindell is not resting on his laurels.

The founder and president of a pillow manufacturing company in the city of Carver is moving forward with aggressive expansion plans.

And the pace of growth by My Pillow, Inc. (doing business as MyPillow) is speeding into overdrive.

“We’re growing 10 percent a week,” Lindell said during a Nov. 23 inter-

view after touring his company’s offices, customer call center and manufacturing plant. “This year we’ll expect to do $10 million of sales.

I want to be at $30 million by next April.”

That type of dramatic gain still would pale compared to his longerterm vision.

“Within three years, one-fi fth of the world’s population will be sleeping on MyPillow. That is my goal,” he said. “What Amway did in 30 years, I’m going to do in three.”

Lindell, 50, of Victoria, invented his open-cell, poly-foam pillow and started the business in 2004. His unique pillow was issued a United States patent in 2008. My Pillow, Inc. now has about 30 pillow products and

For the second year in a row, Christopher Hall of Maple Plain has won a “Best of Show” at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum’s fi fth annual juried photography show. His entry, “Crabapples in the Snow,” (featured on page 1) is a simple stark composition, shot in winter.

Other “Best in Show” winners are Michael Borg, Eden Prairie for “Bright Beams,” and Patricia Malcolm, Brooklyn Park for “Roses.”

This year’s theme was “Explore, Experience, Remember,” and the entries will be displayed in the Oswald Visitor Center’s Restaurant Gallery Jan. 6-May 27. Visitors may also purchase work by the Arboretum Photographers Society.

The show features 32 nature images taken at the Arboretum and selected from 100-plus photos submitted by society members. “We (the society) are here to serve the Arboretum” Hall said. “They used our images for promotional materials for the Arboretum like the calendar, the newsletter ‘Arboretum News,’ and the cookbook.”

His image “Geese, Bridge and Willow” won Best of Show last December and that image has been reproduced on the Arboretum’s seasonal signage both at the Arboretum and alongside local highways.

Hall, 59, is semi-retired and visits the Arboretum nearly every week with his camera in hand.

“I’m drawn to the Arbo retum,” Hall said. “About 90 percent of my photography is nature. I just wander around and I’ll see what’s flowering or what things look like. I’ll walk the whole Arboretum, investigating what looks good. I love to walk, and in the spring and summer probably walk over 5 miles at the Arboretum exploring for photo chances.

‘Some people travel the world,” Hall said, about subject matter. “I like to go to one place and get to know it and follow the seasons and time of day.

And I’m fortunate that I have

www.chaskaherald.com A: It was last February. It was a foggy day so I saw an opportunity. I knew the conditions would be interesting so I purposely walked the 3-mile drive. What I like about it is that it is very simple compared to another entry of mine which was tulips with very strong purple and pink. For me, this photo elicits feelings of strength and simplicity with the trees surrounded by white.

Q: Do you have any favorite photographers?

A: I don’t. But I am an outdoors person. I like art and I enjoy being outside. Photography appeals to me because it’s a combination of creativity and science. I’m originally from Rochester, N.Y., and got my undergraduate degree in zoology at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I moved here to attend grad school. I didn’t fi nish my grad degree, but instead got a job as a technician with the veterinary school.

Q : A ny p h o t o t ip s t o share?

A: Get out there and just do it. Change positions. Don’t just stand. Get down on your stomach and knees. Don’t worry if people look at you funny. You’ll get a better picture. Watch where the sun is. Don’t shoot into the sun. And an overcast day is not so bad.

Jonathan asks city to take Eitel House Fischer leaving for Falcon Heights

Suggests ownership transfer to arts group

Assistant city administrator moves on

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

The Jonathan Association is hoping to cook up a win-win situation for the long-vacant Eitel House.

At its December meeting, the board of the large Chaska homeowner group voted unanimously to ask the city of Chaska to take ownership of the property through eminent domain.

The board also proposes that the city then work to transfer permanent ownership over to the fledgling Arts Consortium of Carver County (ACCC).

“We really feel this is something old [Jonathan founder] Henry McKnight would have loved,” said Nate Bostrom, Jonathan Association board president.

Bostrom said the vacant Chaska brick farmhouse has long been a challenge for Jonathan Association decision makers.

The Eitel House – located on Eitel Circle in Neighborhood Eight – has been empty since 2004 when the association opted not to renew a daycare/preschool lease due to radon levels.

A professional assessment done in 2009 by Reserve Advisors out of Milwaukee estimated that the building would need more than $135,000 in repairs and replacements over the next 15 years. In addition to high levels of radon, Bostrom said the property also has mold issues.

As of 2011, the property was valued at $166,000 ($68,400 for the land and $ 97,600 for the building).

Chaska’s assistant city administrator is moving on and up – both fig uratively and literally. Bart Fischer, who has served as assistant city administrator since early 2009, has been hired as city administrator for the city of Falcon Heights. His last day in Chaska will be Jan. 9.

“It was too good of an opportunity to pass up,” said Fischer in a phone interview. “Falcon Heights is a well-respected, stable community. It’s going to be a great place to kick off my career.”

Fischer was hired in Chaska after Matt Podhradsky moved into the city administrator’s position. Fischer had previously served as the assistant city administrator for five years in Newport on the east side of the metro.

Fischer lives with his wife Tammy and three children in Cottage Grove. The commute to Falcon Heights will be about half the distance it was to Chaska.

“The hardest part is leaving the people,” said Fischer.

“I love working here,” he added. Chaska’s been great to me.”

Podhradsky said city staff will be sad to see the personable Fischer go. “Bart’s been a great addition to the team over here,” said Podhradsky. “He’s added a lot. And he’s grown a lot.”

Still, Podhradsky isn’t surprised to see him go. He said he hired Fischer for the job expecting him to move on in three to four years time.

“My philosophy with the assistant city administrator position is to try and get the best and brightest of up and

CHALLENGES In late 2005, the association planned to tear down the Eitel House, finding it cheaper to destroy than restore. The association’s plans were staved

ARTS CONSORTIUM

off when city put a moratorium on the destruction of Chaska brick buildings.

In early 2006, Chaska proposed that the Jonathan Association donate the property to the city for inclusion in the land trust, but the association’s legal counsel determined that the bylaws would require that 60 percent of the association’s members vote with two-thirds agreeing to the property transfer. And so the building has sat vacant for the last seven years.

While no longer in favor of tearing down the building, the Eitel House remains a problem for the homeowner association.

“We’re not bulldozing it, but we don’t have the fi nancial resources to take care of it,” said Bostrom.

The association is proposi ng t hat t he cit y t a ke t he Eitel House through eminent domain to avoid having to bring the issue to the membership for a vote. In a press release, the board indicated that they believed it would be difficult to attain the voter turnout levels necessary to transfer, sell or convey such a property.

Bostrom said the board decided to approach the city after receiving a letter from the ACCC, where the group formally expressed its interest in acquiring the Eitel House.

Bostrom said the ACCC is trying to build a presence in each community in Carver County and believes the Eitel House “would be ideal” for their fi rst site (the group previously had its eye on the C.P. Klein mansion in downtown Chaska).

“Jonathan and its founder Henry McKnight, have always recognized that arts in the community are important to achieving ‘livability’ and improving quality of life,” said Mary Erickson, ACCC board member, in a press release.

“The Eitel House would be an ACCC ‘gathering space,’ and among other things, it could be utilized for art classes, studio and gallery space.”

The Jonathan board believes that a partnership between the city, the association and the ACCC is the best bet to find a future for the historic building. Should it be able to acquire the property, the ACCC would seek grants

Council approves budget, levy

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

The Chaska City Council voted 4-0 (with Councilor Scott Millard absent) to approve the 2012 budget and tax levy Monday night in addition to setting rates for its various utility and enterprise funds.

Chaska’s general operating fund budget for 2012 will be just under $10 million, a 4.55 percent increase over 2011. However, the tax levy will remain stable at $4.88 million. Chaska has levied the same amount in city taxes for the previous two years.

“We’ve been working on this for months and months at study sessions,” noted Mayor Mark Windschitl at the council meeting. “I think we all feel comfort-

able about zero percent and keeping everything going.”

The city’s tax rate will increase from 23.35 percent in 2011 to 25.45 percent in 2012, due in part to keeping a stable levy with decreasing property values, as well as the state of Minnesota dropping the Market Value Homestead Credit Program that subsidized a portion of homeowner’s property tax bills.

That program has been replaced with the Market Value Exclusion Program which uses a specific formula to reduce a home’s taxable value – although homes valued above $414,000 will see little, if any, reduction.

For the average homeowner whose $200,000 home generated a city tax bill of $432 in 2011, that bill won’t change much

for 2 012. Though the home has likely dropped in value to $188,400, the city taxes owed will be around $428.

“I think we’re doing what the people elected us to do – to have a well run city government,” said Windschitl. “I think we’re doing a good job with that.”

UTILITIES Most of the city’s utility rates are set to rise slightly in 2012.

Water rates will see a 1 percent increase with the average homeowner paying $0.16 more per month per 7,000 gallons.

Sewer rates will remain steady while the electric rate will increase by 2 percent.

The city is instituting a $1.50 increase to the base rate for storm sewer utility bringing

through the Metropolitan Regional Art Council, the National Education Association and the State of Minnesota to “make the Eitel House their home and an arts destination for artists and arts enthusiasts in Jonathan and throughout Chaska.”

PRESERVATION City staff has yet to meet with the Jonathan board or ACCC members, but City Administrator Matt Podhradsky said they are open to discussions on how to preserve the Eitel House. A meeting is scheduled for Thursday morning.

“There’s no question from a historic perspective, the Eitel House is on the list,” said Podhradsky. “This is one we would like to see preserved.

“It’s a question of exactly how we get to that point,” he added.

The Jonathan board remains optimistic that this is the plan to restore the Eitel House to its former glory and provide a unique gathering place.

“Our community cannot afford to miss out on a creative opportunity such as this,” the board wrote in a press release.

coming people in the profession, knowing that they will likely be moving on to the nex t step i n their career in a short time,” he w r ot e i n Bart his biweekly Fischer report.

Members of the Chaska City Council shared their congratulations with Fischer at Monday night’s meeting.

“I know you’ve been real asset here,” said Mayor Mark Windschitl. “I know Falcon Heights is gonna be the real winner in this deal.”

Podhradsky had some words of advice for Fischer as he steps into his new role in Falcon Heights.

“The most important thing is building relationships,” he said. “Listen to what they’d like to be and help them.”

Fischer said he will take with him the value of relationships and building trust.

“You have to show people you care,” he said. “I learned to be out there in the community.”

“I learned a lot from Matt,” he added. “I hope he learned from me, too.”

Fischer will be in familiar territory in Falcon Heights. He attended Northwestern University just north of the city. “We used to go to the Falcon Bowl,” he recalled.

While Podhradsky won’t be calling in on Fischer to hit up the now defunct bowling alley, he isn’t ruling out a visit come time for the Minnesota State Fair.

“Their city hall parking lot is right across the street from the state fair campgrounds,” he said.

Chaska won’t likely begin an active search for Fischer’s replacement until after the New Year.

City crews remove trees along south side of river levee

Sale prices good 12-22 thru 12-28

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

Trees are falling in Chaska near the Minnesota River, but this time, beavers aren’t to blame. Public Works crews have been taking advantage of the unseasonably war m and dry weather to remove

scrub trees on the south side of Chaska’s levee.

Chaska City Administrator Matt Podhradsky said that the work is being done as part of the levee recertification the city went through last year. In its report, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recommended the city remove all trees within 15

feet of the toe of the levee.

“The roots could damage the structure of the levee,” said Podhradsky in a phone interview, noting that the recommendations were born from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, where a failed levee resulted in devastating flood waters besieging the city of

New Orleans. The Army Corps of Engineers has been much more diligent about levee maintenance since that tragedy, he wrote in a city newsletter.

In Chaska, the tree removal has resulted in a sizeable pile of timber in a clearing just to the east of Athletic Park. Podhradsky said that the trees are small

EDITORIAL

Peace and goodwill The best Christmas-themed stories begin with someone not exactly in the Christmas spirit. For example: A not-so-subtle description of The Grinch in “How The Grinch Stole Christmas”: “Your soul is an appalling dump-heap, overf lowing with the most disgraceful assortment of rubbish imaginable, mangled up in tangled up knots!”

Charlie Brown, “A Charlie Brown Christmas”: “I think there must be something wrong with me, Linus.

Christmas is coming, but I’m not happy. I don’t feel the way I’m supposed to feel.”

Ebenezer Scrooge, “A Christmas Carol”: “Every idiot who goes about with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.”

Rudolph, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”: “Why am I such a misfit?”

Even George Bailey, in “It’s a Wonderful Life” considers suicide after being told “You’re worth more dead than alive.”

Perhaps these tales are popular because we see a bit of ourselves in these down-and-out characters. They all face some sort of trial-by-fire and claw their way back, just in time to open presents or sing “Old Lang Syne.”

Of course, the first Christmas story is the most harrowing.

Joseph and his very pregnant wife Mary travel across the country because they are required to pay a tax. Mary gives birth in a barn. Then Mary and Joseph, with their baby Jesus, escape a king-ordered infant massacre.

That’s not exactly picking out clothes at Baby Gap. It’s easy to imagine that the new parents were a bit stressed.

When it comes to the Christmas story, it’s easiest to identify with the shepherds – pulling a night shift, only to be scared witless by an angel, who tells them a Savior is born. The shepherds are left with the message “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”

With all the anger and wars and uncertainty in the world, it’s a message that needs repeating throughout the year.

Who needs the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come; or an $8,000 Building and Loan payment; or Misfit Toys; or Cindy Lou Who? Peace on earth and goodwill to all.

That’s a Christmas message guaranteed to make a Grinch’s heart grow three sizes.

County deserves credit for ‘sunshine’ A few months ago, Carver County received a black eye from a non-profit organization for lack of information provided on its website — www. co.carver.mn.us. Recent updates, however, have resulted in a dramatic turn-around.

Earlier this year, Sunshine Review gave Carver County a grade of “D” for online transparency.

County officials responded. Today, Carver County is the only county in the state to be graded A+ for transparency from the same organization.

The average score for the rest of the counties in the state is a “D.” Sunshine Review listed the following positive aspects of Carver County’s website: Cou nt y com missioners a re posted with contact and term information.

Meeting agendas and minutes are posted.

Bid opportunities are posted.

Properties are searchable and taxes are payable online.

Interactive GIS maps are available.

Building permit information is posted.

Zoning information is posted.

Contact information for administrative officials is provided within each department page.

Budgets are posted.

Audits are posted.

Information is posted on local

tax rates, and property tax rates are posted in the budget.

Information is posted on Taxpayer-funded lobbying.

Contracts are posted.

There is information and contacts for making public records requests. However, because the page does not use the term “public records,” it may be difficult for some users to fi nd, the report noted.

The county also has done a good job of posting board meetings online for review in the past year.

Ac c or d i n g t o C ou nt y B o a r d Chairman Randy Maluchnik, the low grade earlier this year prompted the county to take a deeper look at its website.

“As a result, we made a number of additions to become an even more transparent county,” he said.

The county deserves credit for recent efforts to be more accessible to residents. In addition to website improvements, the county also began videotaping the public comment portion of board meetings in the past year.

Being open, accessible and customer-friendly simply makes sense for local governments. Nothing raises suspicion more than a government that appears to have something to hide.

This Sunshine Review is worth celebrating. More info at http://sunshinereview.org.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CHRISTMAS

Proud and blessed to call Chaska home I want to express my gratitude to the people who decide how to decorate for the Christmas holiday season.

I fi nd your ability to blend ALL concepts of Christmas to be admirable.

You have the cache (nativity) – for those of us who believe that. You have Santa – for those who believe in that. You have the menorah – for those who celebrate in that manner. And a lot of other types of decorations.

Chaska does an excellent job of showing what this holiday season is all about – not just one aspect of it.

For this I proud and blessed to live in this city.

For this I’m proud and blessed to call Chaska my home.

The period between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day is typically the most fi re-deadly week of the year in Minnesota. Cooking, candles, decorations and fireplaces are the main culprits, but in every case, lack of caution plays a role.

When holiday traditions add fi re threats and we fail to take additional precautions, the outcome can quickly turn a holiday into a disaster.

As your State Fire Marshal, I ask you to read the information below, clip it out and review it with your family.

Cooking: The No. 12 cause of residential fires because distracted cooks forget to watch the stovetop.

Never leave a hot burner unattended; grease fi res start in seconds.

Keep clothing, clutter and children away from the stove, and your kitchen will be more fi re-safe.

Candles: Candles belong in sturdy containers or holders, far from curtains, greenery, paper, gifts, and children’s reach. Never leave them burning unattended.

Decorations: Water your natural tree every day. A fresh, green tree will hardly burn; a dry one can ignite an entire room in seconds. Be sure light cords are in good condition and don’t overload electrical sockets. Finally, keep greenery and heat sources three feet apart — and no fresh greens on the fi replace mantel!

Fireplaces: Never burn wrapping paper in the fi replace; it’s a frequent cause of chimney fi res.

If you haven’t had your chimney inspected for a year or more, do it before you light that crackling holiday fi re and the creosote buildup turns it into something very unpleasant.

Please share these tips with the people you love. Your Minnesota Department of Public Safety State

Celebrating Christ in true fashion Thank you to St. John’s Lutheran Church in Chaska for celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ in true fashion last Sunday with the “Live Nativity” at the Chaska Community Center Theater and Lodge and outside their church.

JONATHAN

Eitel House proposal will enrich community Editor’s note: The author is the newly appointed visual arts liaison to the Arts Consortium of Carver County (ACCC).

There is a plan in the works to give the people of Chaska a most wonderful gift virtually on a silver platter. I am talking about an important, unused and slowly deteriorating historic site located in Jonathan, known as the Eitel House. The plan is to shift this property into the hands of the ACCC to be used as their headquarters and studio for the arts. Then the Eitel House will fi nally realize the process of restoration as it is put into use that will only enrich our community.

Due to covenants that tie the Jonathan Association’s hands to do anything much with this property other than continue to allow it to

and it was wonderful to see families come together in the spirit of Christmas.

Thank you also to the Active Older Adults for Christ who volunteered to welcome guest in The Lodge and to help with serving cookies, apple cider, coffee and reading Christmas stories to the kids.

It was wonderful to hear and see what Christmas is really about!

Tom Redman Director Chaska Parks and Recreation

deteriorate, the creative option is to partner with city government and have the city take the property through eminent domain.

I am aware this term, eminent domain, has left a nasty taste with the public. This time it is not about government bullying. It is a cooperative effort between the Jonathan Association, the ACCC and the city. What works is the city’s action of eminent domain to achieve the desired end for the ACCC and Chaska.

Chaska’s master plan is all about community development, to truly make us the best small town to live, work and play. Support of the arts has not been all that visible to date.

We are on the threshold of a golden opportunity.

How could there possibly be any Bah-Humbugs ready to make an attempt to squelch this?

It is a complete win, win, win for everyone, not only for Chaska but every inch of Carver County. If there would be a Bah-Humbug or two, may the ghost of Christmas Future pay them a midnight visit!

Looking for exercise, but finding adventure

BY BYUNG HAK LEE

find cities in 50 states hosting races.

My goal was to finish a full marathon in each state by my 50th birthday. I trained and trained, Byung Hak but it never Lee happened. To be honest, I didn’t really like the sense of being so out-ofbreath and concluded it was not for me.

Then I lowered the bar, cutting it down to the half marathon. It seemed to be a perfect fit until a pain developed in one of my knees, without fail, after running about three miles.

It didn’t take long to throw in the towel, promulgating that I was retiring from the running business for good.

Then, what followed was a stint of biking for two summers. It was harder and less enjoyable than I thought.

Until last summer, I didn’t consider walking a legitimate exercise.

To me, walking was rather considered to be a lovely routine for golden-aged couples, an activity by two lovebirds dancing about one another, or perhaps a rigid march between two stonefaced strangers hustling down the New York City streets, shoulder to shoulder.

For much of my life, I put myself in a hurrying, efficient mode. Exercise, therefore, had to be intense, requiring panting or experiencing muscular stress.

Several years ago, I had entertained a grandiose plan of finishing a full 26.2 mile marathon. I daydreamed of stumbling toward the finishing line amongst the cheers of my girls and my version of Sinatra’s “My Way.” I bought a book on how to prepare for the task in three months. I surfed the Web to

It was then, while considering another excuse for not biking, that I happened to start walking the neighborhood with my wife. We would walk around our neighborhood pond, most of time my wife chirping at me while I enjoyed her presence. Not long after, my aspiration raised its head again, stretching the joy of casual walking into more of a sporting adventure.

The walk evolved from a onemile span to three miles, then to a 10-mile stint, eventually leaving my wife incapacitated, behind at home (she can’t walk that far due to an injury).

Ultimately, I planned on two very long walks – from Chaska to both Minneapolis and Mankato.

Prodding the area in search of penetrable routes, I came to know why Chaska was once chosen among the top 10 best livable small cities in the nation. It had inviting and accessible trails!

I was amazed to find how

well the pristine woods are preserved amid the explosive development of the city in recent years. I thought woods and meadows to be fragmental patches bordering our backyards that separate neighborhood blocks.

Our inhabitants, however, seemed to be simple enclaves in this motherland that deserves claim to Chaska. As I walk deep into the wooded areas, sometimes deliberately wandering off the trails, hundreds of years of wildness are found still preserved.

Grotesque trees with wickedly twisted limbs, as shown in the labyrinth; piles of dead trees as if wars broke out in the forest last night, all frozen by dawn as in “Night at the Museum.”

Often, as I strolled along the lakes, the landscapes were so picturesque and serene that I lamented my lack of literacy to describe them beyond exclamations. My 30 years of training and practice in engineering must have

Governor Pawlenty’s new legislation affects DWI offenders with certain aggravating factors. Currently Minnesota law states that a first time DWI offender with an alcohol-concentration of .20 or more is charged with a gross misdemeanor and loses their license for 180 days. The new legislation lowers the alcohol concentration to .16 or more which is twice the legal limit (.08). The license revocation period is extended to one year. The same is true for a second time DWI offender regardless of their alcohol concentration, their license will be revoked for one year as opposed to 180 days.

Minnesota DWI penalties are harsh and are only going to get more severe. If convicted, a DWI offender could face large fines and jail time. For over 10 years, Minnesota law makers have successfully fought to strengthen the penalties for DWI offenders.

between the threes. Once up there, I found that it was someone’s backyard. The homeowner, whom I later recognized to be Mike Huang, Chaska Herald columnist, was outside and kindly gave me a direction out.

We shook hands, bantered a few more pleasantries before I departed. This encounter explains the very benefit of living in a small town. Suppose you were lost in the labyrinth of the streets of Manhattan.

suffocated any poetic talent.

(I have not read a single poem for the past 30 years, unless the “National Anthem” and the “Pledge of Allegiance” are counted as poems.)

Hiking allows time for relishing sentiments and visiting good old memories.

I remembered my first blind date in college and how I messed it up with my naivety and lack of sophistication. I often hummed and sang aloud my favorite songs from my 20s – my version of “Bridge over the Trouble Water” scared off squirrels, running amok on dry dead leaves.

In one incident, I was lost in the forest for three hours.

Of course there was no need to panic as it was not like being lost in the Appalachian Mountains.

However, darkness set in, and when a herd of deer stampeded by and stopped, looming out of darkness, a scary feeling kicked in.

Becky Varone had a hunch her recipe for chocolaty coconut balls called Snowball Clippers could be a contender in the Star Tribune’s annual holiday cookie competition. Turns out, she was right.

Varone entered the recipe into this year’s ninth annual competition. Not long after, the Chaska resident got a call notifying her that she was a fi nalist.

“I was shocked and surprised,” she said, noting that it was the first time she had entered the contest.

F rom the more than 2 0 0 entries received for the 2011 competition, Varone was one of five fi nalists. She didn’t take home top prize, but she was featured in the Dec. 1 edition of the newspaper’s Taste section.

Now her Snowball Clippers are in high demand everywhere she goes.

“I always thought this recipe could win,” she said.

Varone picked up the recipe from her co-worker Lori Spalding 16 years ago. The two worked at the Carver County Government Center and together with some other ladies, would occasionally meet at Varone’s house just a few blocks away for lunch.

“We wou ld bring cookie containers and exchange,” said Varone.

Spalding was known for bringing the Snowball Clippers and when she stopped coming to the lunches, Varone asked for the recipe. Now she makes them every year. “Always at Christmastime,” she said.

2 T. butter or margarine, melted 1 large egg white, lightly beaten 1/2 t. vanilla extract 4 c. shredded coconut 1/2 c. miniature chocolate chips 4 oz. semisweet chocolate squares, melted 1. Sift flour and baking powder together in bowl, set aside. Beat sugar, sour cream, butter and egg white in large mixer bowl. At low speed, gradually add flour mixture, just until blended.

Beat in vanilla and coconut.

Stir in chocolate chips.

Becky Varone was one of five finalists for the Star Tribune’s annual holiday cookie contest. She found success with a recipe for chocolate and coconut cookies called Snowball Clippers.

Varone likes the cookie for its combination of coconut and chocolate, reminiscent of a Mounds candy bar.

“I like them better than a Mounds bar,” she confessed.

Varone, now retired, made sure to give Spalding a heads up when she was named a fi nalist. “She thought it was really fun that I won,” said Varone.

She also invited Spalding to join her and the other fi nalists at a baking lab event at the Mill City Museum. There, Varone quickly ran out of the 200-plus samples she had brought to offer attendees.

“ I g u e s s I s hou l d h ave brought more,” she said.

For being named a fi nalist, Varone took home the Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen Cookbook. And she’s already found more than a few recipes to try in the short amount of time she’s had to look at the book.

Varone considers herself more of a baker than a cook, however. She’s not sure that she has any more winning cookie recipes to enter for next year’s competition, but if there’s ever a pie contest, she’s got the perfect recipe.

2. Heat oven to 325 degrees.

Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper and lightly coat with vegetable coating spray. Shape dough into 3/4-inch balls. Place balls one inch apart on prepared sheets. Bake one pan at a time 18-22 minutes, just until coconut begins to brown. Cool on wire racks.

Repeat.

3. Line two large cookie sheets with wax paper.

Dip bottoms of cooled cookie in melted chocolate.

Place dipped side down on prepared sheets and refrigerate 30 minutes, until chocolate sets. Makes about 6 dozen cookies.

(Tip--if the dough becomes too sticky while rolling it into balls, dampen your hands with water).

CARVER COUNTY

PUBLIC SAFETY

Man gets 30 years for sexual assault Travis Allan Olsen, 38, of Prior Lake, was sentenced today by Judge Philip T. Kanning to 30 years in prison for first-degree criminal sexual conduct, according to a press release from Carver Cou nty Attorney Mark Travis Metz.

Olsen Fol low i n g his sentence, Olsen will be subject to conditional release for the remainder of his life, which allows the Commissioner of Corrections to take Olsen back into custody for a violation of law or rule, the release stated.

This sentence represents the maximum sentence allowed under the law. Kanning also made a preliminary determination that a petition for civil commitment as a sexually dangerous person for Olsen is appropriate.

On Sept. 20, following a seven-day trial, presided over by Kanning, a Carver County jury found Olsen guilty of fi rst-degree criminal sexual conduct.

Olsen knew the mother of the 12-year-old victim, who were both Chaska residents. While the mother was working night shifts, Olsen sexually assaulted the girl, the release stated. The assaults also happened to various parks and hiking trails.

The assaults took place several times between 2007 and 2008.

Olsen was previously convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in 1998 and thirddegree criminal sexual conduct, also in 1998. Olsen is currently a Level 3 predatory offender.

The Chaska Police Department investigated, and Chief Deputy County Attorney Mike Wentzell prosecuted the case.

“Based on this offense, and Olsen’s prior offenses, it is clear that Olsen represents a significant threat to public safety. This sentence will ensure that the public will be safe from Olsen for the maximum amount of time allowed under the law.

This beneficial outcome is a credit to Chief Deputy Wentzell’s superb trial work, diligence and professionalism, in conjunction with the fine work of the Chaska Police Department and Carver County Social Services,” stated Metz, in the release.

Chan kidnapper dies before sentencing Loren Veltkamp, a Chanhassen man who was found guilty in October of a kidnapping and domestic assau lt ch a r ge, wa s found dead in his Chanhassen home on Dec. 16.

According to the Carver Loren County SherVeltkamp iff’s Office, the medical examiner has ruled his death a suicide. The Sheriff’s Office received a call to Veltkamp’s home at 7:32 a.m.

Veltkamp had been found guilty of hogtying a woman living at his residence, driving her to Laketown Township, approximately 12 miles away from their residence, and throwing her out of the vehicle.

According to the Carver County Attorney’s Office, the victim suffered from alcoholism for a number of years.

In response to her alcoholic binges, on several prior occasions, Veltkamp “bounced” the victim by transporting her to a location away from the Chanhassen home where she had to fi nd her own way home.

On July 25, 2010, again in response to an alcohol binge by the victim, the defendant wrapped the half-naked, barefoot victim with a rope into a “bundle” so he

December 22, 2011 | Page 7

could carry her down the stairs, according to the Attorney’s Office. He then shoved her in the back of his Chevy Blazer, held her head down so she could not see where she was going, drove approximately 12 miles west and deposited her at a rural tree farm. The intoxicated victim struggled through the thickets to the nearest house where homeowners provided assistance and notified the Sheriff’s Office.

Veltkamp, who was out on bail, was scheduled for sentencing in front of Judge Richard Perkins on Dec. 16.

According to the Carver County Attorney’s Office, the kidnapping charge carries a presumptive prison sentence of between 41 months and 57 months in prison.

‘Acts of terrorism’ in Hollywood Township On two separate occasions, someone has fired a bullet through a window of Hollywood Town Hall, according to a press release from Carver County Sheri f f Jim Olson, which labels the incidents “acts of terrorism.”

The most recent incident occurred between Dec. 12 and Dec. 15. The first incident happened between Nov. 16 and Nov. 17.

Earlier this summer, a township employee also found several rifle shells in a home mailbox.

River crossing at top of priority list

BY RICHARD CRAWFORD editor@chanvillager.com

Before wrapping up the calendar year Carver County officials met with local legislators to share priorities for the year ahead.

Upgrading the Highway 101 river crossing, which connects Chanhassen to Shakopee, is at the top of the county’s legislative priority list.

County commissioners and staff members shared their priorities Tuesday with Sen. Julianne Ortman, of Chanhassen, Rep. Joe Hoppe, of Chaska, and Rep. Ernie Leidiger, of Mayer.

Securing funding for an upgraded Minnesota River crossing would have significant benefit for area commuters during future flood events, said Lyndon Robjent, the county’s director of public works.

Robjent said during flooding in 2010 and this spring about 40,000 trips per day had altered commutes because of closings at river crossings at Highway 101 and Highway 41 in Chaska. He said that Minnesota Department of Trans-

2 kilos of suspected heroin confiscated On Dec. 10, officers with the Southwest Metro Drug Task Force and the Carver County Sheriff ’s Office, with assistance from the MSP Airport Police, Northwest Hennepin Drug Task Force, agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Homeland Security Investigations (HIS) intercepted approximately 2 kilograms of suspected black tar heroin at the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport.

According to the press release, a Task Force officer estimated the street value of the heroin at $640,000.

A 25-year-old Bakersfield, Calif. woman was arrested for drug possession, and turned over to the DEA and HIS. A Carver County Sheriff’s Deputy assigned to the SWMDTF obtained information the California woman was allegedly drug courier and had made plans to deliver heroin to the Scott County area.

Officers learned of an inbound flight from Los Angeles to Minneapolis, which they believed the California woman was on and contact with her after she exited the flight and retrieved luggage at the baggage claim.

Drug Task Force Agents obtained consent from the woman to search her luggage. The bottom of her luggage contained a false compartment that was inconsistent with similar bags, the release stated.

Inside the false compartment of the bag, agents found a wrapped package, weighing approximately 4.4 pounds. Inside the wrapped package was a substance the agents suspect was heroin.

portation studies indicate that a potential Highway 101 bridge upgrade has a better cost-benefit analysis than improving the Highway 41 bridge.

Robjent said an improved Highway 101 bridge could cost between $30 million and $40 million depending on whether the bridge is two lanes or four lanes. State funding is expected to cover $20 million, however, the remainder of the funding hasn’t been identified. State bonding authority could potentially help fill the gap, he said.

REGIONAL PARK The county also is considering purchasing 20 acres of land for the fi nal piece of the Lake Waconia Regional Park. Currently the county has acquired 108 acres for the park, however, an additional 20 acres that are privately owned break up the county property. The county’s long-term master plan called for a 130-acre park, but county officials indicated the current economy has slowed down acquisition plans.

Commissioner Jim Ische, of Norwood, said the matter has come to the forefront in the

past year because the property owner is a willing seller.

Sen. Ortman said she has heard more opposition than support for the regional park and said commissioners need to build more support before seeking state money to help with the acquisition.

INVASIVE SPECIES The county also is requesting that the Legislature earmark additional funding so the Department of Natural Resources can work to prevent the spread of zebra mussels.

“I believe the board is looking at this as more of a statewide issue,” said County Administrator David Hemze.

In January, the county is scheduled to continue a discussion of potential efforts to control the spread of zebra mussels in county lakes.

Rep. Joe Hoppe wasn’t optimistic about controlling the spread. “Unfortunately we have no way to stop zebra mussels right now unless you shut a lake down entirely,” he said.

Randy Wolf, the county’s director of Public Health and Environment, said it is unclear

whether the county should be in a “preventive” or “infested” mode.

2012 SALARIES SET Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson and Carver County Attorney Mark Metz will have their salaries increased by $ 5,000 to $120,000 a year in 2012. Both elected officials are completing their fi rst year in office.

According to a staff report, the salary recommendations factored in market comparisons of office holders in similar counties, the duties of their offices and the salary of their direct reports.

Salaries were frozen for 23 employees, including division directors, who aren’t in unions.

County Board members also voted to cut their annual pay by a half percent from the $43,563 salaries they earned in 2011. In addition to salaries, the board chairman receives a monthly expense allowance of $615; the vice chair receives a monthly allowance of $540, and other commissioners receive $515.

Horticulture of the holidays A look at the celebrated plants of the season

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

C

hestnuts roasting on an open fire, mistletoe hung where every couple tries to stop, the holly and the ivy – these are just a few of the plants that have carved out a spot for themselves in the annals of Christmas tradition.

The newspaper asked Peter Moe, operations director at the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, to offer up some tidbits about those plants that fi nd their way into our collective consciousness this time of year.

CHRISTMAS TREE Because there are so few actively growing plants in Minnesota this time of year, the state’s greatest horticultural contribution to the holidays is easily the Christmas tree.

“Minnesota is one of the biggest growers of Christmas trees,” said Moe. In 2011 alone, hundreds of growers across the state were expected to produce about a half-million trees.

In total, there are about six or seven different kinds of Christmas trees that most people will choose from to bring into their homes to decorate with lights and fi ll with ornaments – spruces, pines and fi rs.

Each 7-foot-tall tree is about eight or nine years old, Moe estimated.

Balsam fi r – native to northern Minnesota – are among the most popular in the state.

“They hold their needles, they’re not sharp and they smell good,” said Moe. Moe recommended a few care tips to keep your Christmas tree going throughout the holiday season.

“They like it cool,” he said. “And

never let them dry out.”

Moe said a fresh cut right before putting the tree in the stand will also help them weather the festivities better.

“Check the water every day,” he added. “They generally drink a lot of water their fi rst week.”

Moe said a properly cared for tree can last up to five or six weeks.

POINSETTIA There is perhaps no f lowering plant more synonymous with the holiday season than the poinsettia.

“I think it’s the color,” said Moe. The plant, which grows in nature as a shrub or small tree, is characterized by its colored leaves – usually a deep red (although several varieties exist ranging in color from cream to pink to even purple and blue). The f lowers themselves are small and yellow.

“The poinsettia blooms when the nights are long,” said Moe. To get the plant to bloom around Christmas, nurseries will put the poinsettias into complete darkness in September, said Moe. The poinsettia – native to Mexico – was named after Joel Poinsett, the first United States Minister to Mexico.

Poinsett brought the plant to the U.S. from Mexico in the early 1800s.

And contrary to popular belief, the poinsettia is not poisonous, noted Moe. “That’s a myth that’s been going around for years.”

Its life can be extended well beyond the holidays with proper care. Moe said the poinsettia should be kept away from extreme cold or heat, preferably near a bright window. It should be watered when the soil is dry on top.

MISTLETOE It’s the plant that triggers lip locks

at holiday time, but in the natural world, mistletoe is actually considered a pest. The parasitic plant grows in shrubs and up in tree branches leeching nutrients from its host. Moe said it’s found largely in the southern states on evergreens and some deciduous trees.

Mistletoe is generally spread by birds that feed on the plant and later excrete the seeds.

The tradition of kissing under the mistletoe is detailed in a footnote in Washington Irving’s essay entitled “Christmas Eve,” published in “The Sketchbook of Geof frey Crayon, Gent.” in 1819. He notes that it was commonplace to hang mistletoe up in farmhouses and kitchens at Christmas. Young men would have the “privilege” of kissing girls under the mistletoe and then plucking a berry from the bush. Once the berries were gone, the privilege ceased.

IVY Ivy fi nds fame at Christmastime largely in the traditional English carol “The Holly and the Ivy.” Outside of the holidays, English ivy is a common houseplant that is also grown outdoors across England and in similar climates, said Moe. It is shaped like a maple leaf and can be of the climbing or the weeping variety.

While great in houseplant form,

The chestnut tree, or more specifically, its roastable nuts have long been immortalized in “The Christmas Song.” The tree itself is a “big, beautiful tree,” said Moe, with an attractive straight grain making for very expensive wood.

“The American Chestnut tree produces the best edible nuts,” said Moe.

Carver tax rate increases 8.56 percent Utility rates remain same

BY NICK MASON nicholascmason@comcast.net

The new year will bring city of Carver residents a 8.56 percent increase in the city property tax rate and no increase in utility rates.

T he Cit y C ou nci l vote d unanimously Monday to adopt a $ 2,239,332 budget for city government operations and repaying debts in 2012 and a $1,870,647 property tax levy to pay most of those expenses.

Spending is increasing 1.8 percent and the property tax levy is increasing 0.8 percent, as the accompanying chart shows. The small increase in property tax collections for 2012 follows a 1.5 percent drop in city property taxes collected in 2011.

The city’s tax capacity tax rate is climbing from 47.95 percent in 2011 to 52.06 percent in 2012, which is an 8.56 percent rate increase. The tax rate increase reflects declining property values, a rising levy and a change in the tax structure.

About one-third of the total property tax bill paid by a Carver homeowner goes to the city government. The rest is paid to School District 112, Carver County government and other smaller taxing agencies.

LESS PROPERTY TAX Carver councilors also approved separate water, sanitary sewer and storm water budgets totaling more than $1.1 million while keeping rates currently charged existing customers in place for 2012. The last increase in those rates was in 2010.

Understanding budgets and property taxes can be challenging in a normal year, but this year is especially tricky because the City Council and the Minnesota Legislature changed the tax structure.

The bottom line is that many Carver homeowners actually will pay less property tax in 2012 than they did in 2011 despite the increase in the property tax rate. That is primarily due to their property values depreciating and the legislature shifting more of the property tax burden from owners of modest-priced homes onto

owners of expensive homes.

To illustrate that, City Admi nist rator Brent Ma reck said he randomly chose 10 residential properties in a crosssection of city neighborhoods and asked the Carver County Taxpayers Services Department to calculate their city property tax bills in 2012.

Nine of the ten property owners had declining taxable market values and will pay less property tax to city government in 2012 than they paid in 2011.

Tax reductions ranged from $52 to $268. The 2012 taxable market value of those 10 residences ranged from $110,600 to $533,300.

The exception was a home with a $9,000 market value increase, rising from $319,200 to $328,200. That owner will see a $54 increase in city property tax in 2012.

Mareck also presented councilors with a calculation by the county’s Taxpayers Services Department showing the savings a homestead with a $250,000 market value receives from the state’s new market value exclusion program.

T h e c a l c u l at i o n s h ow s $14,700 of market value newly excluded from taxation and the homeowner paying $1,225.04 of city property tax in 2012, down $42.19 from the 2011 city property tax of $1,267.23.

Overall, Carver lost more than $11.7 million of property market value in 2011, Mareck wrote.

‘GOOD BUDGET’ Carver Mayor Greg Osterdyk praised Mareck for his second annual budget proposal since Mareck was hired in May 2010.

“I think we’ve got a good budget,” Osterdyk said during a Dec. 12 interview. “By going through the process a second time and getting to know what is important to residents of Carver, he has a good handle on things going forward.”

The $1,870,647 of property tax levy in 2012 includes $1,618,242 allocated directly to the city and $252,405 forwarded to the city through “fiscal disparities,” which is a stateordered revenue sharing program among local governments in the Twin Cities metropolitan region.

contracts to provide fi refi ghting service to Dahlgren and San Francisco townships, city building permits and various other fees and revenues.

Nobody from t he public spoke during the Dec. 5 public hearing about the budget and property tax rate and levy. Only two residents sat in the audience that night and listened to M a reck su m ma ri ze t he financial income and spending highlights for councilors, accompanied by a power-point presentation containing charts and graphs.

Councilor Cindy Monroe liked what she saw and heard from Mareck.

“This is a very nice presentation. Very informative,” she said.

UTILITY BUDGETS The water, sanitary sewer and storm water budgets are separate “enterprise” funds financed primarily by user fees collected from more than 1,200 existing customers and from developers wanting to connect to the city’s utility systems.

These budgets routinely contain sur pluses to build cash reserves for later use during an emergency, such as a major water pipe breaking, or to pay for major projects or purchases. This year, cash reserves were tapped to pay the $239,000 contract for painting and structural repairs to the city’s water tower along Mount Hope Road.

The 2012 water budget shows

$20,000 to pay part of the estimated $65,000 cost for reconstructing worn tennis courts at Lions Park. The city also would borrow $30,000 from the city’s park dedication fund and raise $15,000 from undetermined other sources. $19,374 for replacing self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighters.

Property taxes

Total

Here are major budget changes for 2012 as adopted by Carver City Council:

$640,000 of income, $491,289 of expenses and a $148,711 surplus. Those are all increases compared to 2011, when the water budget was $565,500 of income, $425,960 of expenses and a $139,540 surplus.

Monthly water rates will remain at $4.93 per 1,000 gallons for the fi rst 20,000 gallons and $7.40 per 1,000 gallons for all water used over 20,000 gallons.

Monthly water meter fees, such as $2.26 for a standard 5/8-inch residential meter, also remain unchanged next year.

The sanitary sewer budget changes little. The 2012 budget is $372,700 of income, $348,591 of expenses and a $24,109 surplus.

The 2011 budget was $366,993 of income, $354,659 of expenses and a $12,334 surplus.

The monthly sewer fee in 2012 will remain at $5.62 per 1,000 gallons based on the individual customer’s average water consumption during January, February and March each year. Winter months are chosen for the year-round sewer benchmark because most water used during those months enters the sewer system, unlike summer months when landscaping irrigation is common.

A new twist is moving the storm water program’s income and expenses from the general fund into its own separate budget. It shows $95,000 of income in 2012, $23,780 of expenses and a $71,220 surplus.

Residents will continue in 2012 paying the existing monthly storm water fee of $8.52 for

$16,869 contribution from the city’s general fund to the city’s park dedication fund to supplement fees paid by developers for building, improving and equipping parks. $11,000 to replace the city computer network’s broken server. $11,000 to add two seasonal part-time employees to work in the Public Works, Parks and Public Utilities departments. $10,000 increase for street seal coating, minor repairs and street sweeping. The 2012 budget is $60,000. The 2011 budget was $50,000. $10,000 for City Hall renovations to create a larger entrance service counter that complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act, create a small break room for employees and create a plan review area and shared work space for Building Inspections staff. $7,500 for computers and software to switch to preparation of paperless agenda packets for the City Council. $7,000 increase for the program providing a second full-time Carver County sheriff’s deputy assigned to the city of Carver during summer months. The seasonal program started this year with $15,000 budgeted. The budget climbs to $22,000 in 2012. $6,000 to buy a snow plow that will be attached to a city pickup truck.

2 percent wage increase for all employees, starting Jan. 1, 2012. Their last pay raise was 1.2 percent on July 1, 2011.

3 percent increase in pension payments for firefighters.

5 percent decrease in employee health insurance premiums.

repairing and maintaining drainage ditches, storm water ponds and other wetland outlets.

NITTY GRITTY Here are the nitty-gritty details about the city and state changes for 2012 in the tax structure.

The 8.56 percent increase in the city’s tax capacity tax rate is partly offset by the City Council eliminating in 2012 the separate market value tax rate for voter-approved levies due to refi nancing of the city’s debt in 2011.

The market value tax rate, which was .048 percent in 2011, is being rolled into the tax capacity tax rate for 2012.

The Minnesota Legislature changed the property tax structure statewide by eliminating the market value homestead credit and replacing it with a

sliding-scale homestead market value exclusion program.

In simple terms, the legislature’s new program gives the biggest tax break to owners of homes with modest values by excluding the largest share of their home value from being taxed.

As home market values increase, the amount of exclusion and tax break declines and eventually stops.

That means owners of homes with mid-priced values get smaller tax breaks because smaller shares of value are excluded from taxation. Owners of expensive homes get no tax break because they get no exclusion of value.

“The market value exclusion ranges from $30,400 for a home valued at $76,000 to $ 0 for a home valued above $413,800,” Mareck wrote in his PowerPoint presentation.

Carver votes to accept RR bridge donation “I want to talk to different groups around town and see if we can come up with a creative use for it. We had to save it when we did. Now we need to take some time and determine what, if anything, we want to do.”

BY NICK MASON nicholascmason@comcast.net

The Carver City Council wants the city to own the old Main Street railroad bridge and later figure out what to do with it.

Counci lors voted unanimously Dec. 5 to accept donation of the bridge from Omaha Track Materials LLC, which acquired the bridge from Union Pacific Railroad Company.

The Main Street bridge at the entrance to the city’s Riverside Park is part of a 5.6-mile track segment Union Pacific abandoned after another bridge in Scott County collapsed during a train derailment in 2007.

The rail line was built in 1870.

The Main Street bridge was slated to be demolished as part of the abandonment process until the city’s Heritage Preservation Commission asked that it be saved as a tangible exhibit of railroad history in Carver.

City Attorney Larry Harris told councilors the paperwork to complete the bridge ownership transfer agreement should be done by Dec. 31 because Omaha Track Materials wants a 2011 charitable tax deduction.

There is no plan how the city will use the preserved bridge.

“There are no formal discussions at this point,” Mayor Greg Osterdyk said during a Dec. 12 interview. “We will look at it in 2012 and determine what is the best plan for it.”

Osterdyk has no personal preference yet.

“I want to talk to different groups around town and see if we can come up with a creative use for it,” he said. “We had to

The city of Carver hopes to own the old Main Street railroad bridge.

save it when we did. Now we need to take some time and determine what, if anything, we want to do.”

Oma ha T rack Materia ls required Carver councilors to accept the bridge “on an as is/where is basis subject to its present condition and all faults or defects therein” and

be entirely responsible for any and all structural or environmental conditions.

“If you discover arsenic in the road bed, it’s your problem,” Harris told councilors.

“It’s an onerous agreement.”

City Engineer Dan Boyum told councilors the structural condition of the bridge was ex-

amined but no environmental tests were done.

The city will not own the land under the bridge. The land now is owned by Carver County government.

Harris warned city officials verbally and in writing that the city not owning the property which supports or lies under-

neath the bridge could pose a future problem.

“This could become a significant issue if work is needed to maintain or repair the bridge or if, for some reason, the city needs to remove the bridge,” Harris wrote.

Osterdyk did not consider the risk troublesome.

“I think we can work with the county going forward to try to alleviate any issues that might arise,” he said. “It’s been standing for over 75 years or whatever that number is. I would hope we would be able to take care of it and utilize it the best we can.”

In August, the council had voted 4-1 to try to receive a donation of the bridge from Union Pacific, however, it was later acquired by Omaha Track Materials.

In that vote, Mike Webb dissented, and stated, “I just think it’s another money pit for the city that we cannot afford.”

But this month, Webb made it a unanimous vote. “It’s not worth causing a big havoc over,” Webb said. “You pick your battles. I don’t need to make a statement with that. Everyone knows how I feel.”

Restored Carver blacksmith home is preservation winner Craig Norby, of Madison River Ventures Inc., is the recipient of the 2011 Carver Heritage Preservation Award for his restoration of the 1898 Charles L. Dauwalter Queen Anne Victorian House at 413 Broadway in downtown Carver. The award is given annually for the year’s best preservation work in the Carver Historic District, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.

During October and November nominations were solicited.

At the November meeting of the Carver Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) the 2011 nominations were reviewed, and from them the commissioners selected the year’s best preservation work or contribution to the Carver Historic District, according to a press release from John von Walter, with the HPC. In 2011 the Carver brick home was in foreclosure and had suffered from years of neglect, lack of funds, and ill-advised remodeling when Craig Norby, of Excelsior, acquired the home and began restoration of the building.

Exterior work included the cleaning up of debris, new landscaping front and rear, replacement of a badly cracked sidewalk, rebuilding the front porch and adding footings, removing a rear exterior staircase added when the house was once duplexed, replacing rotted siding on a rear porch, replacing broken glass and damaged windows, and painting all exterior trim on the brick house.

The inside of the house acquired new wiring, plumbing, paint, a new furnace, new bathrooms, a new kitchen, and a new grand staircase replacing one long ago removed to duplex the house. The house was again converted to its original

The Charles L. Dauwalter Jr. House was built in 1898 by Charles L. Dauwalter Jr., the son of Charles D. Dauwalter Sr., a pioneer Carver settler, who arrived in Carver in 1857.

Charles Dauwalter Jr. was born in Carver in 1867 and was apprenticed at age 15 in his father’s blacksmith and wagon making shop, later becoming proprietor of the business, which was located next door to his house, and which in 1913 he converted into a Buick automobile dealership, the fi rst in Carver, and among the earliest in Carver County. Later the business was expanded as a Buick-Chevrolet dealership and survives to the present in the Lenzen Buick-Chevrolet dealership in Chaska.

The house is built of buffcolored Carver brick and features Queen Anne Victorian

‘Burning Off the Cookies’ snowshoe hike Where: Lowry Nature Center, 7025 Victoria Drive, Victoria When: 1 to 3 p.m. Monday, Dec. 26 Cost: $5 While it’s likely the parents who are trying to work off those holiday treats, it’s still a great opportunity to get outside and burn off the kids’ excess energy, all while taking in the beauty of Three Rivers Parks’ Lowry Nature Center. Participants will learn about the history of snowshoes before strapping on a pair and heading out on a hike with a naturalist. The event is open to adults and children ages 4 and up.

Take in the sights at Lowry Nature Center while melting off those holiday treats at the Burning Off the Cookies Snowshoe Hike on Dec. 26.

Jumps and Downs Inflatable Play Center

S

top me if this scenario sounds familiar: It’s only the first week of winter break, the kids are screaming, your grandmother’s antique vase just got hit by an errant soccer ball, and you’re worried that the facial tic you’ve developed might be becoming permanent.

You need to get the kids out of the house – and fast. But funds are tight and you’ve already exhausted your list of activities to busy the children. So what do you do?

Lucky for you, there’s a plethora of affordable things to do around the Twin Cities and southwest suburbs. So here are five fun places to take the kids this winter break that will keep them entertained and you sane:

Where: 1155 Shakopee Town Square, Shakopee When: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Saturdays; Noon to 6 p.m. Sundays Cost: $7 per child, parents are free.

Party packages are also available.

No pretenses here: This place is perfect for wearing your little ones out. Watch them go crazy in the two bouncy houses, on an obstacle course and inflatable slide, on the toddler playground and, of course, in the 5,500-ball pit. There’s also an air hockey table, which might peak the interest of at least a few parents.

Jumps and Downs Co-Owner Beverly Hasbrouck says that kids burn between 100 and 300 calories for every half hour of jumping. “Daily exercise creates healthy, happy, active kids, and it’s our goal to provide a safe, fun and clean environment for kids to do that,” Hasbrouck says.

It’s a really special time.”

Scout is a petite brown tabby mix, about 2-1/2 years old, who was found as a pregnant stray in early 2011. True to her name, she is curious and brave, handling life’s transitions with ease so far. She’s learning acceptable places to jump and scratch in her foster home and loves to play with feather and mouse toys.

Scout likes other cats, is indifferent to dogs, and is motivated by food for training! She has had a complete wellness exam, has been spayed, microchipped, is updated on vaccinations, and has tested negative for Feline Leukemia/FIV. Her adoption fee is $150, which includes a free wellness exam after adoption. Won’t you help Scout find a forever home?

PROVERB OF THE MONTH: It is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a Child himself.

- Charles Dickens

GUEST COMMENTARY

Amazed by the familiar

BY PASTOR SCOTT CROOK

The older I get, the more I appreciate nostalgia. Guess t h at ’s h ow it’s supposed to work. The more memo ries you have, the more you can appreciate Scott them.

Crook And there’s nothing like the warmth of familiar Christmas memories this time of year – memories of childhood and of family. It reminds me how often God speaks through the familiar, the common, to amaze us all over again.

Consider the familiar Christmas story in the Gospel of Luke. The angel appears to the shepherds watching over their sheep at night and proclaims, “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11).

To these lowly shepherds, the angel says “Unto you is born.”

This message was not given fi rst to kings or clergy, but to shepherds — to lowly shepherds out in the field with their flocks. All through the Nativity story, we see God choosing the humble, the weak, the rejected, and the familiar in society to proclaim the wondrous news of Christ’s birth.

The angel said this good news would be for “all the people.”

Salvation is no longer limited to Israel, but is for every country, every race, every culture, every walk of life. The walls of division have come down. This truly is good news for the world.

And the good news of great joy is this: the Savior has come.

Not just for the world, but he has come to save you.

Then the angel told the shepherds how they could go and see for themselves this wonderful sight.

“And this will be a sig n for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”

They would fi nd a baby in a

barn. He would be wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough made for the animals. Now the shepherds were familiar with barns, so they were going back to something familiar.

The Christmas story re minds us that God humbled himself and became a man.

God used the lowly of the world to proclaim his glory. And God used the familiar to introduce what had never been before.

It’s easy to hear the story of Jesus and let it become too familiar. Most Christians have a story of when they heard the gospel for the fi rst time, and the joy and clarity and hope that came upon them. And I love to hear those stories. But we should also share those stories when we heard the gospel clearly for the hundredth time, or the thousandth time, and joy and hope flooded our souls all over again.

W hen you hear the good news of the gospel preached, or when you hear it in the Christmas carols being sung, or when you read it in the Bible, does your heart still leap with joy? Honestly, there are times mine does not.

Those are the times I need to go back and see for myself.

Like the shepherds, we need to go back to something we may have seen a hundred times, and we need to see it again – as if for the fi rst time. We need to pray for fresh eyes to see and hearts that will be moved again.

And we need to go back to that hill called Calvary and look upon the one nailed to the cross for us. We need to see the love and grace that poured from those wounds and to be reminded of the great price Jesus paid for us. And in that familiar place, we will be compelled to kneel – and to worship.

Consider afresh the great love He has for you. That’s why he came, because of his love for you. Receive that good news today, and your familiar Christmas will be one to remember.

Church offers ‘Crossings’ New service targets young and unchurched

BY MARK W. OLSON editor@chaskaherald.com

Christ Victorious Lutheran Church in Chaska is trying something different to attract new members, called “Crossings.”

The contemporary service is held Sunday evenings and offers “cutting edge Christian music” and a laid-back vibe.

“It’s intended to make people who may feel uncomfortable about going to church more comfortable. It’s casual – everyone’s wearing jeans or cords. That’s what I wear to lead the conversation. It’s a friendly environment. No one feels judged coming here,” said the Rev. Paul Biebighauser.

The service is “targeted toward unchurched in the com-

munity, and youth and young adults,” Biebighauser said.

“The way that most churches are doing worship right now is not connecting with a percentage of today’s population – especially the younger generation, and we’ve created a whole new coffeeshop type atmosphere in which we conduct the Crossings. It’s not in a typical church sanctuary,” Biebighauser said.

The congregation spent the summer creating a new space for the service, which began in September.

“So when you walk in and attend, it doesn’t look like a typical church,” Biebighauser said.

There are couches and tables.

“We do have regular chairs as well,” the pastor noted. “People are free to have their coffee or whatever,” he said.

“We start each week with a selection of songs that the band has worked up,” Biebighauser said. The band is composed of area musicians, performing on guitar, bass and drums.

After the congregation sings a set of songs, Biebighauser leads a talk, providing the direction and theme. “It’s more of a conversation about God,” Biebighauser said. “It’s not a sermon. It’s not a typical Bible study – it’s interactive.”

Sunday evening was strategically chosen because, “It’s a night not busy in people’s

schedules,” the pastor said, with not as many sporting events, or conflicts with people who travel to their cabin. “It’s a good, convenient time.” The church still holds two services on Sunday mornings, Biebighauser said.

“We did a lot of research around the community,” Biebighauser said, of the new approach. “We’re imitating what has been successful in other communities.”

Live Nativity at St. John’s S t . J o h n ’s L u t h e r a n Church held its Live Nativity last Sunday. There were two inside performances at the Chaska Community Center, and one performance outside, across from St. John’s in downtown Chaska.

C o m bi n e d , o r g a n i z e r Mike Beckman estimated that as many as 540 people attended all three performances. There were about 30 people involved in the production, Beckman estimated, from actors to those serving refreshments. Vogel’s Exotic Animals provided the camels, sheep and donkey.

“I thought it went very well, and the weather was very cooperative – fi nally,” Beckman said.

“I think it gives people some focus on what the season is truly about. It’s an opportunity to share that story with everyone,” Beckman said.

Each Christmas we celebrate the Savior’s birth, this tiny infant of inÀnite worth.

Born in a manger so meek and so mild, but this little baby was no ordinary child.

He saved the world “once for all”, redeeming our lives, He took the fall.

But Satan was no match for God as man, Jesus rose from the dead, victory in His hand!

This Christmas I pray that of all the gifts you receive, you will accept the one that’s totally free.

“Rooted In Integrity And Founded On Faith...”

His birth and death go hand in hand, celebrate the baby but accept the Man!

Distinctive Destinations Looking for an exotic travel adventure, or at least an uncommon vacation destination? Here are five top picks for 2011 from Stacey Wittig, who writes the travel blog Vagabonding Lulu.

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.

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 action, rugged beauty and lavish pampering.

your neck straight and also keeps you cool so you sleep in one position all night, which gives you a deep sleep,” Lindell explained. “MyPillow is made with a patented fi ll that you can mold to your exact individual needs, and it will stay there.”

These pillows are not cheap.

For example, the standard queen-size bed pillow is $79.95, but use of promotional codes reduce the cost to $ 59.96, he said. Each pillow has a 10-year warranty and 60-day, moneyback guarantee.

My Pillow, Inc. has customers across the world, including wholesale customers in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. But Lindell stresses that the pillows are entirely made-in-America.

“It’s made 100 percent in the United States with 100 percent of the materials made in the United States,” he said. “We’re never ever going to make even one part of this pillow overseas.”

Lindell sold his fi rst 80 pillows at a rented kiosk in Eden Prairie Center before starting a marketing focus at home shows, fairs and craft shows, gradually extending to every state except Hawaii. This year, that outreach expanded to American military bases.

“If there is a big show in this country, we are in it,” he said of his 60-member sales force.

“We’re the No. 1 product at every show we’re at, it seems like.”

But the burgeoning growth came once marketing broadened to infomercials starring himself on the Internet and cable television and similar advertising campaigns and interviews in newspapers and televi-

sion and radio programs.

He told the Chaska Herald i n Febr ua r y 2010 that the company had s old 14 0 , 0 0 0 pillows in its fi rst six years.

Mike He raised Lindell that number to more than 250,000 in January 2011. And last month he updated the figure to “well over 400,000 … approaching 500,000.”

My Pillow, Inc. had 40 employees in February 2010 but grew to about 200 by November 2011, largely due to replacing a contracted customer call center with the company’s own call center in Carver on the second floor of the old schoolhouse at 420 Oak Street North.

“We built our own call center. We did it in three days. Now, 24/7 we have people on duty,” he said Nov. 23. “There are 100 employees there now. We are hiring five to 10 people per week full-time in this economy. The call center will have 150.”

The company’s success and rapid growth sparks his fl air for occasional exaggeration, while making his underlying point, but that is part of Lindell’s energy, spirit and passion for his work.

“Half the town of Carver works for me,” he said in exaggeration mode. “If you could show me a faster growing company, I’d like to see it, especially in Minnesota.”

City and local business leaders are delighted to have My Pillow, Inc. as the largest employer in Carver and expanding despite generally sluggish economic conditions.

“I think it’s great that we’ve got an employer like that in town,” Carver Mayor Greg Osterdyk said during a telephone interview. “Providing jobs for the local residents is huge. That [expansion] is incredible. I’m excited for Mike to have such good success.”

Deb McMillan, president of the Southwest Metro Chamber of Commerce, said a key factor for Carver and the chamber is Lindell’s loyalty to Carver, the city where he grew up.

“From the chamber perspective, probably the greatest thing about a growing organization is Mike’s commitment to keep that growth and that business in Carver. He’s very passionate

about that,” McMillan said.

“O ne t hi n g we st r u g g le with is as some businesses grow they end up leaving the region,” she said. “We really try hard to avoid that. In this case, we love that Mike is very dedicated to keeping My Pillow in Carver.”

My Pillow, Inc. is among the chamber’s roughly 50 0 members from Carver, Chaska, Chanhassen and Victoria. It is the only manufacturing business from Carver listed on the chamber’s web site, www. swmetrochamber.com.

While giving a Chaska Herald reporter a tour of the manufacturing plant, 920 Sixth Street West, Lindell showed literally that he is a hands-on boss. He squeezed nearly a dozen pillows to make sure they were fi lled with the right amount of polyfoam. He also greeted workers by name and praised their skills and dedication.

“We have employees who are dedicated to where we are going and what the mission is,” he said.

When later asked to describe himself, Lindell fi rst cited his energy for his work and life.

“Very energetic,” he said. “I don’t know anybody with more energy, and I’m not bragging.

I know where I’m going, and I have a purpose.”

“We don’t stop here for nothing,” Lindell said. “If they say it can’t be done, I say ‘Why?’ Then we fi nd a way to get it done. I don’t take no for an answer.”

McMillan agreed during a telephone interview Dec. 7.

“He just brings such great energy to his work. He is really a great businessman,” McMillan said. “He has a great passion about his products, but knowing him you would be convinced that he would be successful no matter what he was selling.”

BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

HOLY FAMILY BASKETBALL

Spencer, crowd sparks Hawks to victory

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

C

haska needed a lift comi ng of f t h ree straight losses and they got it from the home crowd Friday.

The energy in the gym transcended onto the court as the Hawks were the better team from start to finish over Burnsville, 77-53.

T he Blaze have dropped three contests this season by an average of 36 points.

While Eric West had another big game with 25 points, it was the play of Ryan Spencer that sparked the Hawks. Four late free throws and a three-pointer with three seconds remaining in the first half extended a 28-21 lead to 35-22.

Chaska pushed the lead even farther in the second half, outscoring the Blaze 42-31 during the fi nal 18 minutes.

West matched a c a re erhigh with 25 points to lead the Hawks. Kolby Seiffert had 13 points, while freshmen Justin Arnold and Jacob Hansen each had six.

After starting the season with two wins, Chaska cooled off to begin the week, dropping a third straight game, falling 68-44 to Edina Dec. 15.

Three Hornets led by Graham Woodward’s 19 points were in double fi gures in the nonconference contest.

Chaska, which trailed 27-16 at halftime, got a career-high 15 points from Arnold. Seiffert added eight, while Spencer had seven for the Hawks.

The Hawks began the week by losi n g to No. 6 -ra n ke d Lakeville North, which topped a District 112 team for the second time in five days Dec. 13, defeating Chaska 68-49.

The Panthers defeated Chanhassen 66-64 on Dec. 9.

Leading 33-26 at halftime, Lakeville North outscored the Hawks 35-23 over the fi nal 18 minutes.

West and Seiffert each were in double figures for Chaska with 16 and 11 points, respectively. Spencer and Nick Valentini also had seven points apiece.

Ten Lakeville North players recorded points in the win.

TOUGH SCHEDULE, RESULTS One look at Chaska’s December schedule and it was easy to see that it was going to be a struggle to record a win for the youthful Hawks.

The current four-game stretch saw Chaska play No. 1 Hopkins,

Chaska’s Ryan Spencer is awarded two free throws after his fast-break lay-up attempt forces a foul on a Burnsville defender. The Hawks won Friday 77-53.

No. 7 Eden Prairie, No. 2 Edina and No. 6 Wayzata on Tuesday.

Against Edina, the Hawks played a tough game, trailing by only nine at 31-22 at halftime. The depth of the Hornets pulled away from Chaska in the second half.

Sierra Leggett had a seasonhigh 16 points for Chaska, while Ellie Thompson had 10.

Hannah Rohe chipped in eight, while Page Stanberry had six.

Madeli ne Rod rig uez led four Edina starters in double figures with 15.

Eden Prairie has a pair of University of Minnesota DI recruits in Jackie Johnson and Shayne Mullaney. Chaska is a youthful squad still trying to fi nd itself early in the season.

A recipe for disaster.

Three days after being beaten by 39 points on the road at No. 1 Hopkins, Chaska fell to the ninth-ranked Eagles 61-30 Dec. 13. Eden Prairie was previously No. 2 in the polls before a loss to Bloomington Kennedy.

tively, to lead the Eagles. Cassy Sexton also was in double figures for Eden Prairie, which led 42-10 at halftime.

Leggett led the Hawks with eight points. Thompson had seven, while Kendall Baab had four for Chaska (1-5).

HOCKEY ROUNDUP

Chaska shocks Orono for first win Chaska entered Tuesday’s contest losers of seven straight to start the season and 13 consecutive December losses dating back to last season.

Facing an Orono team already with quality wins over Warroad, Providence Academy and Faribault, the Hawks put together a complete game for the 4-2 win.

Eric Maki netted the eventual game-winning goal with 9:05 to play in regulation off assists from Brooks Wineberg and Carter Schmidt.

Sean Brewers added an empty net goal with 37 seconds left for the fi nal difference.

Blake Jackson made 27 saves in nets for his fi rst career victory.

Chaska twice had one-goal leads in the second period as Garrett Paulzine and Mitch Kirchoff each netted goals.

Wi neb er g a s si st e d on t he goals for a total of three on the night.

The four goals was a seasonhigh for Chaska (1-7).

The Hawks travel to Richfield tonight (Thursday).

Chaska junior Dean Rinnan (10) wins a faceoff late in the period as linemate Brooks Wineberg (11) watches on. The Hawks fell 5-0 to New Prague. ka’s scoreless streak continued as the Hawks boys hockey team fell 3-0 to Waconia Sat-

urday. Chaska was shutout in three of four games and hadn’t scored in more than seven

straight periods.

Waconia’s Tanner Riebel broke a scoreless tie at the 5:30 mark of the second period with a goal from Ryan Mattson.

Alex Tasson added a powerplay goal later in the period and then capped the scoring with a short-handed goal with less than six minutes to play.

Chaska outshot the Wildcats 29-24 for the game. It was the fi fth straight win for Waconia, which is 9-1.

Eighth-grader Thomas Hanson, making his first career varsity start in nets, stopped 21 shots for Chaska.

Chaska also lost 5-0 loss to New Prague in the Missota Conference opener Dec. 15.

New Prague got a pair of goals in each of the fi rst two periods led by two goals from Jordan Holicky. Austin Kilian and Cody Meyer each netted goals in the opening stanza, while Colton Schmidt fi nished off the scoring in the final period.

Chaska was outshot 34-17 for the game. Blake Jackson made 29 saves for the Hawks.

Jenny Swartout doesn’t just want good basketball players – the fi rst-year head coach of the Holy Family Catholic girls basketball team wants good people.

Given a task of helping children for Christmas, all 23 Fire basketball players on the varsity and junior varsity took the task to heart. “(Coach) told us we’re going to be doing a lot of stuff in the community. It’s not going to be just about basketball.

We’re going to form a family on and off the court. Through school, we’re kind of used to doing projects like these, so it wasn’t a big surprise,” said senior Ashley Hanson.

The team purchased and wrapped gifts for children who otherwise wouldn’t have had a Christmas. And while the players only had a wish list – no photos or names – of the children, the moment touched the lives of all 23 players.

“We ask for so much I feel during Christmas time and we don’t remember what is really important. When we see what they asked for – the simplest things – I can live without what I ask for. They appreciate it so much,” Hanson said.

“It’s hard to admit it, but you know they’ll appreciate their gift more than you will with yours,” said senior Erin Ryan-Mosley. “If we got that same gift, we’d be like ‘Oh well.’ And like Ashley said, their main gift is something we can just run into the store and pick up and it makes their day. That’s all they want.”

“It made us all take a step back and realize that we have it better off than so many people and that we are all very lucky for that,” Ryan-Mosley added.

GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY Ryan-Mosley admitted that Swartout and her coaching staff stated from the beginning that they wanted to win and improve, but they also wanted to develop a family in the program.

“The coaching staff for the girls program is making the athlete a whole-rounded individual. We not only play hard on the court, but we have been working hard off the court,” said Swartout, a Minnetonka native. “We feel that it is not always about sports, but about giving back for the things we are fortunate enough to have.”

She challenged the team to come up with ideas and purchasing gifts for Christmas was one of them along with other events such as a food drive and hosting a cancer awareness night that will happen later in the season.

“We were trying to decide

“(Coach) told us we’re going to be doing a lot of stuff in the community.

It’s not going to be just about basketball.

We’re going to form a family on and off the court.”

Ashley Hanson Holy Family senior what to do and we ended up having a l l 2 3 varsity and JV members meet up at the Target in Chaska right after practice. We handed out cards and everyone just went crazy trying to fi nd the gifts,” RyanMosley said.

“It was crazy watching us all run around Target helping each other try to fi nd things.

One girl on our team had a 5-year-old girl who wanted a pink long-sleeved shirt and pink pants, so not everything was easy to find. But in the end I thought we did pretty well,” Hanson said.

Many lists were less than $20, but the captains said the generosity of many families allowed for every list to be completed.

“Most people were looking for something simple like a soccer ball or an outfit, so it was a lot different than what we ask for,” Hanson said.

“It was funny – we handed out the cards randomly – to see the most tomboy person on our team have to buy a pink Barbie outfit. I had to buy an Axe body spray kit. Ashley and I were looking for it and she was like, ‘I’m going to get one of those for (someone),’” Ryan-Mosley said.

Once all of the presents were purchased, the team wrapped them at practice and dropped them off at the church where seniors at the high school delivered them to a school in Minneapolis.

While the gifts will bring joy to their recipients Christmas Day, it also served a quality purpose for the Fire.

“We hadn’t had the chance to do a team bonding event yet, so it was the fi rst step. We’ll always have those memories of running around Target that we all can remember,” Hanson said.

“It was early in the season, so it really helped us bring together the younger and new girls to our team,” RyanMosley said.

Coincidentally, Holy Family, which started the season with a pair of losses, has rallied to win six straight games entering this week.

Impressive start to season despite loss

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Nor th f ield showed why it’s the class of the Missota Conference gymnastics ranks Friday, scoring a season-high 140.225 in topping host Chaska/Chanhassen in a conference dual.

The Storm Hawks, who had a season-best effort three days earlier, had a score of 130.90 in the loss.

Despite the defeat, C/C Head Coach Jamie Tsurusaki said it has been a great start for the gymnasts. The Storm Hawks are 2-1 in duals and have also scored a fi rstplace fi nish at the Northfield Invite.

“So far, I am very impressed with how the girls have been performing. We have gotten a few comments from various judges that we look very strong this year and they are excited to see where we are at come February. I definitely

agree, I think we are the strongest we have ever been in my three years of coaching,” she said.

Lucy Rogers led the Storm Hawks with an all-around score of 32.825. Her beam score of 8.05 was a team-best.

Other notable performances came from Rachel Nornes, who had an 8.65 on bars and 9.0 on floor exercise. Leah Kutsch led the way on vault at 8.95.

“Our goal for our section meet is to get a 140 team score.

I think it is very achievable if we continue to work hard,” Tsurusaki said.

Junior varsity had its best meet, scoring a high score for the season of a 123.85.

Earlier in the week, C/C t opp e d Re d Wi n g w it h a 136.45-119.675 win Dec. 13 in the conference opener.

Nornes, who had “an awesome meet,” according to Tsurusaki, scored a 36.0 in all-around, winning three of the four rotations.

Luke Finkel, Trent Butcher, Sam Christianson, Brend e n Olev s o n , Jo s h B l a c kowiak, Justin Goeman and Reid Johnson each won twice as Chaska/Chanhassen wrestling swept a triangular at Holy Fa mi ly Cat holic F riday.

The Storm Hawks defeated Mound-Westonka/HFC 41-27, while also taking down Montgomery-Lonsdale/LeCenter 59-15.

Blackowiak had the biggest win of the night, taking dow n No. 9 -r a n ke d Br ya n T i e r n ey o f M W/ H F C 1 2 - 3 at 170 pounds. The Chaska wrestler also won by fall in his first match.

Sam Christianson also made quick work of his opponents, scoring pins at 52 and 33 seconds on the night.

Finkel and Butcher recorded a pair of pins, while Goeman had a solid victory over MW/ HFC’s Tyler Ihli 5-0 that all but sealed the victory.

Will Van Sant, the lone Holy Family wrestler, who is ranked No. 6 in Class A A A at 19 5 pounds, scored a pin at 1:00 over C/C’s John Wittman.

A triangular at Prior Lake originally scheduled for Dec. 22 was wrestled on Tuesday.

WEEKLY SCHEDULES

No snow means a delay in the season The 2011-2012 season will mark the fi rst time the Missota Conference will crown an alpine ski team conference champion. The Chaska and Chanhassen teams split this year, bringing the conference to four teams, allowing the conference to have a series.

split the previous year for sections. Chaska is a growing team with many new racers.

“We have the return of several experienced racers like Adam Hoxie (junior team captain), Ian Taylor (sophomore), Geoff Karl (freshman) and Lauren Johnson (senior team captain), but in addition, we have many new faces to the program,” said Chaska Head Coach Josh Kleve.

Dryland started in midNovember and transitioned to on-snow training the week after Thanksgiving. That was supposed to give the team four weeks to prep for the fi rst race, which was scheduled for Dec. 20 at Welch Village. However, a lack of snow and unseasonably warm temperatures forced the postponement of the event.

The next event is Jan. 3 at

Welch Village.

“Although Chaska isn’t the largest team in the conference, everyone is motivated, talented and making strides in their racing ability. We are extremely excited to maximize each athlete’s potential and help teach them a lifelong sport,” said Kleve, who said putting a couple of skiers into state as a season goal.

Making a list, checking it twice

When the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres gets ready to deck its halls for the Christmas season, Kathy Murphy has her own cast of elves ready to go.

Mu r phy i s t he d i r e c tor of food and beverages at the CDT. And, during the week of Thanksgiving, she is also director of Christmas dazzle. Her decorators include everyone from CDT actors and stage crew to the kitchen and wait staff, to janitors and the box office.

This year Murphy, a Chanhassen resident, had a crew of at least two dozen people for the fi rst day of decorating the theater. It takes about three days to complete the job, Murphy said.

Much of the initial work on Day One is hauling the hundreds of boxes of decorations into The Club in the theater’s lower level, and unpacking them, which is in itself much like Christmas morning with lots of exclamations and oohs

No partridge in a pear tree?

If you thought decorating your own home for Christmas was daunting, consider this. Kris Howland, director of public relations for the dinner theater, assembled a guesstimate of what it takes to transform the dinner theater into a Christmas wonderland: 7 fully decorated, lit trees, including theme trees like the “Winter Wonderland” tree in the entrance, the “Hairspray” tree, and Victorian tree.

The Club Room serves as the team’s staging area where workers are sent forth with armfuls of boxes, ribbons and w reat hs to decorate ever y available space.

Open fire? Check. Chestnuts? Maybe I’m pretty accustomed to being asked questions about trees. It happens at most social gatherings these days. Usually I know the answer to the question, or can at least offer a plausible response.

The other night, at a preChristmas gathering of church friends, I was asked a question that required a little more digging: “How come we can continue to roast chestnuts over the open fi re when all the chestnut trees died of blight in the early 1900s?”

H m m m. G oo d question.

Hadn’t thought about that one before. I promised to do a little checking and get back to them.

When the pilgrims landed in America, the American chestnut (Castanea dentata) was the most common hardwood forest tree from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico.

According to one book in my library, “Red Oaks & Black Birches: The Science and Lore of Trees,” by Rebecca Rupp, three out of five wild trees in Appalachia were chestnuts, and 25 percent of all lumber cut from hardwood trees in the East was chestnut.

The thriving chestnut industry came crashing down in the fi rst half of the 20th century when the American chestnut succumbed to a lethal fungus infestation, known as the chestnut blight. An estimated four billion American chestnut trees, one quarter of the hardwood tree population, were devastated by the disease.

The American chestnut tree was an essential component of the entire eastern U.S. ecosystem. A late-flowering, reliable and productive tree, unaffected by seasonal frosts, it was the single most important food source for a wide variety of wildlife, from bears to birds. Rural communities depended upon the annual nut harvest as a cash crop to feed livestock. The chestnut lumber industry was a major sector of rural economies.

Chestnut is a rich, straightgrained, rot-resistant wood,

similar in appearance to oak, but browner, without oak’s golden-yellow tinge. Chestnut wood was much in demand for paneling, hardwood flooring, fu r nitu re, musica l inst r uments, fence posts, railroad ties and barn beams.

Chestnuts were large trees that typically grew to heights of 80 feet and 4 feet in diameter.

Many grew much larger. In 1880, the citizens of Seymour, Ind. proudly boasted about their specimen chestnut, which had a girth of 22 feet.

The largest and oldest known chestnut tree in the world is the Hundred Horse Chestnut.

This monster is believed to be between 2,000 and 4,000 years old and is featured in Guinness for the record of “Greatest Tree Girth Ever,” with a circumference (in 1780) of 190 feet. The tree has since split into multiple large trunks above ground, but these multiple trunks still share the same roots.

A lt hough t he A meric a n chestnut was never prevalent in Minnesota, the University of Minnesota is conducting propagation research to discover varieties of chestnut trees that are hardy in our Zone 4 climate that may offer a shade-tree alternative if the much-talked-about emerald ash borer wipes out our population of ash trees.

One of the best books I’ve read is “The Prodigal Summer,” by Barbara Kingsolver.

The book actually weaves together three separate stories of human love within a larger

“The thriving chestnut industry came crashing down in the first half of the 20th century when the American chestnut succumbed to a lethal fungus infestation, known as the chestnut blight.”

Cliff Johnson tapestry of lives in southern Appalachia. One of the three tales tells the sad demise of the U.S. chestnut forest as the devastating blight destroys this mighty plant population. I highly recommend the book.

Well, enough about the history of chestnut trees in Appalachia. What about the roasted chestnuts?

I recall my first business trip to New York City in the early 1970s. Vendors manning oven carts full of roasting chestnuts occupied many street corners.

The captivating aroma of the roasted nuts greeted us well before the vendors came into view. Since this was decades after the blight years, these nuts (and those sold today) were most likely sweet chestnuts from the European chestnut tree (C. sativa).

Despite the name “sweet chestnut,” the roasted chestnuts of today may not measure up to the American chestnuts of a century ago, based on this note from the Rupp book: “C. sativa bears sweet nuts, which, though reasonably tasty, are markedly less flavorful than the lost nuts of C. dentata.”

Stretching storytime with yoga Join Annalisa Bragg for some yoga storytime fun – stretching up to the sky and curling up like a flower bud.

Bragg leads Yoga Storytime at the Chaska Library at 10:30 a.m., Tuesday, Jan. 10 and at the Chanhassen Library at 10:30 a.m., Wednesday, Dec. 28.

Heidi Hoks, the Western cluster manager, says of story times, “Development of the whole child is essential to making a child ready to read.

The use of play, which incorporates creativity with gross motor skills, is one of the skills that the American Library Association now recommends in its newly revised Every Child Ready to Read practices.”

Storytime Yoga is funded by Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Here’s a Q&A with Bragg: Q: What made you start doing Yoga?

A: Hmmm ... many reasons, really. I felt called to it, as I needed something practical to help me heal and maintain an old back injury. Then, the more I learned about the physical practice, the more I appreciated this art and science of life, that its lessons extended far beyond my mat. Pretty cool!

Q : When did you start teaching yoga to children?

A: I’ve been teaching children for over 20 years, and extending yoga, this other love of mine, to them seemed natural.

Kathy

PERSCHMANN CHASKA LIBRARY

I took my Yoga Kids training in 2003, dabbled in it, then allowed it to gestate for a few years as I birthed my own two children.

‘Playing’ yoga with my own children reminded me that I wanted to bring this to my community, that all children should have access to the benefits of yoga. Marrying stories with yoga, stories and movement, both of which children are drawn to anyway, seemed a natural fit.

So, I began volunteering at our local Watertown library to do a monthly yoga storytime.

Recently, I heard that a child who had participated in one of the library programs was participating in a park district program. She dropped into a seated pose somewhat related to what they were doing and invited all the other children to join her in the pose, and many did join her.

I love to hear how others benefit

from a program, even if it wasn’t one they attended directly.

Q: What are some of the benefits of yoga that you have experienced?

A: Well, the benefits have been multi-faceted. I originally sought freedom from back pain due to a previous back injury.

It worked, and I regained flexibility I had had as a youth.

I’ve noticed a strength that is building as I age, a strength that is both physical and mental/emotional, as I seem to be better able to handle life’s ups and downs.

Hatha yoga is bone-building, so I know that I am maintaining the health of my frame as I age.

The meditative aspects have been beneficial in that I am better able to focus, am calmer, and can relax more easily.

My lung capacity is greater due to my breath practice. One of the best benefits? The benefits of my personal practice ripples out to my family, my community, and the world, and that together we all make the world a better place to be.

REVIEWS Here are some books recommended by various staff at a recent meeting.

“Sing You Home,” by Jodi Picoult Music therapist Zoe Baxter’s marriage falls apart when her pregnancy fails, again. Her husband can’t deal with all the

failures. Zoe meets school counselor Vanessa, and is surprised to fi nd herself in love. Vanessa and Zoe wed in Massachusetts, and Vanessa offers to carry one of the fertilized embryos that Zoe and her ex-husband Max had stored. Max is shocked, and his church backs him. He goes to court, suing her for custody of the embryos. This moving story is told from all three perspectives.

“The Time in Between,”

by Maria Duenas A bestseller in Spain, college professor Duenas has done an amazing job weaving actual characters from the era into the story of seamstress Sira Quiroga. Sira grows up in Madrid helping her mother in her dress shop. She is engaged to be married when she shockingly runs off with an exciting older man to Morocco, on the eve of the Spanish Civil War. He abandons her and she is forced to support herself- she opens a dress shop. Her position enables her to gather information easily, and she becomes a spy. Some critics felt that the 600 page book was too long, but many loved the historic detail and suspense.

“Only Time Will Tell,” by Jeffrey Archer The Clifton Chronicles, v.

1 The first in a trilogy by acclaimed novelist Jeffrey Archer, this book covers the years 1920 to 1940, and focuses on Harry Clifton. Harry is young and liv-

Check it out

ing in near poverty in Bristol when the story opens, but thanks to the hard work of his mother, is able to study at Oxford. The book is centered on three characters, Harry, his mother, and a powerful businessman with ties to Harry’s family. What was behind Harry’s father’s sudden disappearance? There are secrets, revelations, and betrayals.
