After sweating through six match points, the Eden Prairie bench jumped in joyous jubilation as the Eagles won a state volleyball championship (Lakeville fans behind the bench weren’t nearly as excited). In a match that could go down as the most memorable in state tournament history, Eden Prairie defeated the defending state champion Lakeville North Panthers 22-25, 25-21, 19-25, 25-18 and 22-20 (the last set is played to 15 points, but you have to win by two).

Eden Prairie Schools Interim Superintendent Jon McBroom started work this month. McBroom will serve as the interim superintendent until a permanent replacement is selected next year. He retired from Shakopee Public Schools in May after serving 11 years with that district. Prior to being hired as Shakopee’s superintendent in 2000, McBroom served as superintendent in the Mora and Rush City school districts. Eden Prairie News interviewed McBroom Monday, prior to his first School Board meeting Tuesday. The following interview has been edited and condensed. Q: What do you see as your role in the district? A: “Basically I’m coming in to provide transitional superintendent work until the board is able to search for and select the next superintendent. My intent is to just do the duties of a superintendent and do the same things that I’ve been doing for 28 years and try and help the district move along.”

Though the legislative session is a few months from getting started, politics are already in play. E den P r a i r ie’s State Sen. David Hann has incurred the wrath of Gov. Mark Dayton a fter Hann blocked the use of $25 million in federal healthcare grants. Sen. David In a letter, and Hann press conference, Dayton called Hann’s move, which temporarily blocks the dispersal of the funds, “unconscionable.” “Sen. H a n n’s u nwa r ra nted imposition of his personal ideology on state agencies’ abilities to help people with urgent needs is unconscionable. He will severely harm 5,000 Minnesota children with cancer and their families who would be helped by the Pediatric Cancer Surveillance grant,” he wrote. Hann has demanded Dayton apologize for such statements and questioned just how urgent the grants really are. The grants affected by Hann’s action include a total of $25 million in federal funds given over five years, which will fund improvements to an electronic screening system that affects pediatric cancer patients; provide funds to prevent chronic disease among low-income populations; develop “home and community-based services for aging veterans” and offer “lower cost care” for Minnesotans affected by Alzheimer’s, according to Dayton. The grants are to be administered t h rough st ate Depa r t ment of Health and Human Services. Hann, who is the chair of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, has the authority to request more information on the grants. He said he talked to officials from the affected departments about the impact of holding up the funds. If you request more information, then the law says the funds can’t be accepted by administration until next legislative session, Hann noted. So it gives them the opportunity to have a hearing, he said. Hann said he raised questions about grants, which he said total $60 million, because the information provided was “very vague.” Hann said he was told that none of the grants would be used to pro-

The Eden Prairie City Council had a workshop with the city’s Conservation Commission Tuesday and received an update on several projects the commission is pursuing. Commission Member Sue Brown said that the group is looking into the possibility of a fee for plastic bags at local grocery and retail stores. Brown said that the group has been pulling information together for more than a year and a half. She said the commission was seeking the City Council’s opinion on pursuing the idea of a non-reusable bag fee, as has been used in Washington, D.C. “It is not a tax. It is not a ban,” she said. The plan could impose a 5 cent fee for disposable or nonreusable bags used by consumers. Customers could buy the bags at the checkout. Part of the fee would go to the businesses to pay for the bags and administer the program. “This has actually been very successful in the District of Columbia,” Brown said. Money collected there has been dedicated to river clean-up. Bag use has gone from 270 million per year to fewer than 52 million. Eden Prairie could be the first in the state to do something like this, Brown said. Brown said that Supervalu has supported the use of a nonreusable bag fee. She said it can help businesses save money and be better corporate citizens. City Council Member Kathy Nelson said that the commission should get input from businesses at Eden Prairie Center. Council Member Brad Aho asked how much time and work would be needed to administer
such a program. Commission Chair Laura Jester said that the commission was asking the council if it should continue to look into the possibility. Sherry Butcher-Wickstrom said that there would need to be an information campaign leading up to such a culture change. She also suggested surveying the businesses that would be affected the most. “We have to first find out how it hits our retailers,” she said. Council Member Ron Case asked the commission to look into alternatives, pilot programs or “baby steps.” Case suggested bringing the Chamber of Commerce in for a meeting, as well as strategic businesses. Butcher-Wickstrom said that she was interested in the idea, but the city generally leaned toward incremental changes. Aho said, “I’m not at all in favor of having government dictate things like this.” He added that he would be in favor of working with retailers in the city to give them tools to implement a program like this on their own. Council members agreed that the commission should research the idea further. In 2 011, the commission helped to finalize a commercial recycling ordinance and an ordinance allowing pervious pavers, according to a report received by the council. Next year, the group plans to continue working on the city’s GreenStep Cities application, looking into the non-reusable bag fee, promoting recycling in city parks and researching the PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) program, which “allows local governments the ability to assist property owners with financing clean energy solu-

Council hears survey results The Eden Prairie City Council heard the results of a Business Survey from Accora Research Inc. during its workshop Tuesday. The city has conducted the survey in 2002, 2005 and 2008. This year the Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce helped fund the survey and added some questions. The survey, taken in late June and early July, aims to gauge the city’s business climate and find ways for the city to better serve the business community. Owners, presidents or managers of businesses in Eden Prairie were eligible to take the survey and about 350 responded. Two-thirds of businesses, 63 percent, reported being in Eden Prairie for 10 years or more. Home-based businesses make up 29 percent of local businesses,
up slightly from previous years. That’s almost 1,000 businesses, said city Economic Development Manager David Lindahl. “That’s a pretty significant number.” “ T he re c ession h a s not prompted a large increase in home-based businesses,” according to the report. The number of sales and marketing businesses increased significantly, from 16 to 25 percent from 2008 to 2011. Construction businesses went from 10 percent to 3 percent. More than threefourths of businesses rate the business climate as above average or excellent. Businesses are seeking referrals from the city, as well as help with transportation issues.

Woman faces murder charge in husband’s drug overdose An Eden Prairie woman has been charged with murder after injecting her husband with a lethal amount of heroin earlier this summer. Melanie Lynn Razo, 29, was charged with third- deg ree murder Wednesday and arre ste d T ue sd ay ni g ht l a st week. The charges stem from an incident on July 6. Eden P rai rie police were c a l led to the home of Razo and her husband, Jorge Razo-Lomeli, 42, where they found him unconscious on the floor of the basement. Razo told police she had convinced her husband to try heroin for the fi rst time,
and had injected some into his hand. Razo had been married to her husband since 2006 and lived with their 18-month-old daughter in her mother’s house on the 15000 block of North Hillcrest Court. According to the criminal complaint, Razo told police she had purchased $40 of heroin from a man in Minneapolis and injected herself and her husband with the heroin. Her husband “went down” but Razo waited seven minutes to call 911 because she did not think it was serious, according to the complaint. Her mother told police her daughter is in a

According to the criminal complaint, “the autopsy revealed the cause of death of the victim to be ‘mixed drug toxicity,’ as not only was there evidence of heroin ingestion, but the victim also had a bloodalcohol concentration of .101 percent.” While at the scene, police heard the victim make statements such as “please forgive me,” and “I gave him too much,” according to the complaint. Razo remains in custody with bail set at $500,000. Her first court appearance is scheduled for Dec. 8.

COMMENTARY
An open letter to the Hennepin County community BY RICH STANEK
Law enforcement agencies across the country face challenges due to economic change. In 2008, the U.S. had 250 officers per 100,000 residents; in 2011 that number dropped to 184. According to a recent study, 30,000 law enforcement positions will go unfilled in 2012 due to cutbacks. The Hennepin County Sheriff ’s Office already has eliminated 64 positions; we will have to reduce by 25 more full-time employees to meet the 2012 budget proposed by Hennepin County administration. Families, businesses, and other government agencies all are adjusting to limited resources. Staffing reductions also are the new reality for the Sheriff ’s Office, and they will have a serious impact on the way we operate for years to come. Volunteers, technology, and collaborative and community oriented policing are all strategies we’ve employed to minimize impacts due to staff reductions. But the current model for police service delivery is changing, and we will have to do things differently. The 2012 reductions will most likely have the greatest impact on our criminal justice partners. Reductions in jail staffing may require closing a housing unit, leaving fewer beds for housing inmates arrested by our police department partners, and also may mean longer waits for fingerprinting and booking times for arrestees. Arresting officers may have to wait in line as we work to assist with fewer staff – keeping them from patrolling their cities. Reductions will mean longer turn-around times when deputies are ordered by the courts to transport and guard inmates and patients in courtrooms and hospitals, which also means a slow down for court proceedings, increased lengths of stay for inmates, and longer times to trial. The loss of several crime lab scientists mid year, when 2009
stimulus funds run out, will likely mean longer turn-around times for evidence processing. Our Finance Division will no longer have staff to post foreclosures to the website. Since mid year 2009, the Sheriff ’s Office has activated new strategies to leverage taxpayer funded resources into force multipliers for our reduced staff. We have 125 trained Special Deputies that volunteer to work under the supervision of sworn officers, in five areas: Emergency Squad, Water Patrol, Mounted Patrol, Explorers and Mobile Amateur Radio Corps, and we have another 165 volunteers that work to provide communitybased assistance and counseling to jail inmates. Volunteers contribute thousands of hours each year, and we rely upon them more and more as we make reductions in paid staff. We’ve implemented strategic management solutions: improving scheduling to reduce overtime, eliminating and consolidating some service areas, and cutting back on training and vehicle and equipment replacement schedules. We’ve invested in cost-conscious ways to be more effective in criminal investigations, through intelligence led policing, improved information sharing, and coordinating crimefighting collaboratives with our state, federal and local police department and County Attorney partners. Our investigators partner with Hopkins, Brooklyn Center, Richfield, Golden Valley and Brooklyn Park investigators (just to name a few), to fight violent crime, detect and arrest drug traffickers, seize illegal weapons, and investigate gang shootings, homicides and officer-involved shootings. We’re targeting resources to areas with the greatest need. Our deputies had 7,500 contacts with residents and visitors as we provided 1,400 hours of supplemental patrolling in the Downtown Safezones District during busy evening hours this
summer. Twenty-five HCSO Deputies responded to the Minneapolis Tornado in May. Deputies have responded to a record number of drownings, and the Crime Lab has responded to 206 death investigations in 2011. Throughout the year we worked to raise awareness and collect unwanted medicines to target prescription drug abuse, the second leading cause of accidental death in the nation (the first is traffic accident), and also more prevalent than cocaine and heroin use among our kids. And right now our deputies must provide 24-hour security at the OccupyMN protests on the government plaza (at a cost of $200,000 for the first two weeks). The Sheriff ’s Office is leaner, smarter and more effective in part due to reductions that prompted these improvements. Yet, personnel, pensions, and health insurance costs, fuel and equipment costs, and food, mandated medical and prescription costs for inmates all continue to increase, and have more than absorbed the efficiencies and reductions we adopted so deliberately. And now we recognize that we can’t solve the problems in our 2012 budget by ourselves; we need to engage the broader community and work in partnership. The Sheriff ’s Office will continue to work to find smarter and more effective ways to fulfill our responsibilities, and also meet the fair expectation of residents that we do all in our power to keep them safe. As the Sheriff ’s Office is asked by the County Board of Commissioners to make even further cuts in 2012 and we shift and adapt the way we do our jobs, it’s also important to be mindful: ensuring public safety and protecting the adults and children that live, visit or work in Hennepin County must always be the first duty of government. Rich Stanek is the Hennepin County Sheriff.
ported me on Facebook, sent emails to friends reminding them to vote, offered words of encouragement, or simply – and very importantly – voted, I am especially grateful for every effort made on my behalf. I will never forget the generous support I received these past few months. I am especially indebted to my campaign team – Jessie Score, Christy Schively, Elaine Larabee, Cindy Becker, Kris Kerber and Brenda Ritzen – for their time and talents. It’s a support network anyone would be lucky to have! Thank you also to the two organizations that gave me their endorsement: Eden Prairie School District Support Staff (SEIU Local 284) and
Eden Prairie News. I very much appreciate your support and the influence your endorsement might have had on voters. There are many challenges ahead, but I have confidence that our new School Board will work together ef fectively to address them in a straightforward and open way, and that input from teachers and the community will be valued. Thank you again!
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

that came out to vote. To those who cast their vote for me, thank you for your trust in my ability to serve our district well. For those of you that decided I didn’t do enough to earn your vote, I hope I can earn your respect, support and trust during these next four years. As I have said all along, I don’t expect people will always agree with me, but I believe they will support how I came to my decisions and respect that I did what I thought was best for our kids and our community. I look forward to the next four years.

Outstanding photographs of holiday decorations
PRAIRIE PIONEERS
The Armistice Day Blizzard of Nov. 11, 1940 Let’s go back 71 years to November of 1940. Eden Prairie was a sparsely-populated farming community at the time and in a farmhouse, Martha Bren waited. Homes were frugal at that time without telephones or electricity. She waited anxiously for her husband, Richard, to return from his job at Minneapolis Moline in Hopkins. Following is a story from Martha Bren’s husband, Dick:
‘NEEDED EIGHT-FOOT PROBE TO FIND PICKUP’ I was employed by Minneapolis Moline in Hopkins but living on a farm in Eden Prairie. It was so mild that Nov. 11 morning that I went to work in my shirt sleeves – but about 3:30 p.m. we were dismissed to go home because of the extreme change.
Let there be light! We’re looking for the biggest and brightest – not the biggest and brightest people, but the biggest and brightest displays of Christmas lights and holiday decorations, whether they’re yours, your neighbor’s, or just something everyone should see.
SUBMITTED PHOTO COURTESY OF THE BREN FAMILY.
Can you find the pickup in this photo? This year’s balmy Veterans Day is no comparison to 1940. I was driving to my farm and got as far as County Road 4 past the Glen Lake State Hospital where there is a very deep cut in the road. I couldn’t see where I was going because it was snowing and blowing so hard and then I was stuck and could go no further. Ahead of me about 10 feet was a car, also stuck, with no one in or around it. I left my truck and started to walk home with much difficulty. I had to walk two more miles in that deep snow. About four days after the storm, when the wind and
snow had quieted enough so I could walk those two miles back to the truck, I did so, again with much difficulty in walking. The car ahead of me belonged to a cow tester from the state; he had been coming from the state farm school at Glen Lake when he got stuck. As I arrived at the scene he was on top of the snow bank with an eight-foot rod trying to locate his car. He struck the top of what he thought was his car and began to dig down about five feet until he came across my pickup. He
saw the yellow color of my truck, knew it wasn’t his, and kept poking around until he found his own car. Marie Wittenberg is an Eden Prairie historian and author, whose columns appear regularly in the Eden Prairie News.

It’s just a knife or sweating the small stuff publicnotices A man I know and love told me kindly that I am a bit high strung sometimes. Intense. Anxious about little things. “I am not anxious,” I told him emphatically. “Not, not, not anxious.” Like any wise and smart guy, he didn’t reply. Good move. But, of course, being NOT anxious, I had to pursue this line of discussion. “I am not an anxious person. I don’t worry a lot.” He raised his eyebrows. “Really,” I said. “That’s just not me.” He just looked at me with a small smile. “Enough said.” I ended that conversation. And, being the non-anxious person that I am, the person who doesn’t worry about the little things, and who doesn’t sweat the small stuff, I thought about this for the next three months. Am I anxious? Do I worry about things? Fixate on things? Could I be in total denial? And then my knife disappeared. The 12-inch butcher knife. My favorite knife. My kitchen chopping knife. The one I use on garlic and apples and chicken and

Fox thanks voters, residents I want to take this opportunity to thank those who cast their votes for me in the recent election. I appreciate your support and the confidence you expressed in my message. Also, thank you to those who engaged in the campaign process – attending the candidate forums, submitting questions to the papers and to the candidates themselves and taking the time to evaluate all of the information available to them. And finally, thank you to all of the other candidates. Without your willingness to open yourselves to public scrutiny and present and defend your ideas and values the public debate would have been less rich and the community would be less certain of who they were voting for. Holly, John, Karla and Dave, congratulations on winning the seats to the board. I have confidence you will each do your best to serve the community and the district.

cilantro. It’s “that” knife in my kitchen. It disappeared in the last week of August. That’s all I know. Where did it go? How did I lose a 12-inch knife? I became fixated on this. Ask my friends. I couldn’t stop wondering. I couldn’t stop looking. I asked everyone I know. I asked the Facebook world. Where is my butcher knife? My daughter was living here at the time. So of course, she was the prime suspect. Where is my knife? She laughed and denied any involvement. Of course. My friends, the Johnsons, were visiting from Tennessee. They became
prime suspects too. Asking your houseguests if they happened to take your 12inch butcher knife is a little bit awkward, but I managed to ask anyway. And that’s after I had already searched their room after they left. I fi gured it would be in the nightstand. They laughed and denied any involvement. Of course. I can’t fi nd the knife. Being 12 inches long, it can’t just get stuck somewhere. But I’ve looked everywhere anyway. I’ve checked through the kitchen: in the bottom of the dishwasher, on top of the refrigerator (this due to a Facebook suggestion from someone who obviously doesn’t know I’m too short to reach there anyway), in the kitchen drawers that it might be in, in the kitchen drawers that it shouldn’t be in, in the “everything” drawer that has any item that has no rightful home. It’s a sharp heavy good knife, not one used for anything other than food; nonetheless, I have searched through the garage,

through all the tools, through the tennis racquets, near the rakes, near the snow blower and near the lawn mower (one never knows). And still, to this day, the butcher knife is missing. Every few days, I do a little more searching. The dining room. The basement. The bathroom. Then, quite suddenly, in one of those moments so sudden I could only stop in my tracks, my mouth dropping open, I realized. I do sweat the small things. I sometimes do get a tad fi xated on things that aren’t worth fi xating on. I sometimes do get a bit anxious about things that aren’t worth the energy. I sometimes do worry a little more than I need to. I think it’s time to settle down. It’s just a knife. No big deal. Unless, of course, someone broke into my house and stole it, and that would be creepy and scary and … Just a knife. Jody Russell is an Eden Prairie web designer, photographer and writer. Her columns appear regularly in the Eden Prairie News.
I enjoyed participating in the forums about Eden Prairie Schools. The forums were well organized and there was a great turnout by the community. It was a wonderful oppor t u nit y for a l l of t he c a ndidates to sha re ideas about the district’s issues and challenges. I think all of us learned from the experience. As we move towards the start of a new term for the School Board, I am hopeful that we as a community will ra l ly toget her a rou nd t he schools. I encou rage each and every one of us to listen to each other and find consensus of how we continue to strengthen our high quality schools. I would like people to feel comfortable contacting me with thei r concer ns, comments and suggestions re garding the schools.

time he began creating kinetic metal sculptures and started selling them online. He always had a knack for coming up with new and creative products that would really draw peoples’ attention. After the kinetic sculpture art did well on line, the owner created a new line of outdoor metal scu lptu res. A fter this the company had officially started in 2007. The metal wall art product line shortly followed and that is when the company really started to take off. Q: How did you pick Eden Prairie? A: We already opened a store in the Burnsville Center and really wanted to get closer to the western market of the Twin Cities. We also looked at the Ridgedale Center but space that was available at the Eden Prairie Center was in a much higher traffic area than the
spaces that were available at the Ridgedale Center. My wife grew up in the Eden Prairie area, so she helped familiarize me with the area and I got a good feel for the market. It doesn’t hurt starting a business with family and friends in the area. Q: What are some challenges about starting a business in Eden Prairie? A: Online sales have been a huge part of our overall business. Our challenge has been gaining experience in the retail business. We have a good grasp on what we are doing and our plans for the future but adjustments have to be made as we gain more experience. The holiday season will be an excellent challenge to see if we can meet our goals we have set in place for this store. Q: What is the thing that

surprises people most about your business? A: We have wall art products that most people have never seen before. It is something that Eden Prairie has really never had before at the mall and people usually are excited about what they see. I have had a couple of instances in which people were looking for the jewelry store that was here before us too. I’m sure that was a bit of a surprise to them. Q: Previous business experience? A: I used to run a lakeshore development company in the Walker, Minn., area and began working for the company shortly after the real estate bubble burst. The owner has experience in engineering and many entrepreneurial manufacturing ventures such as a skateboard company and a clothing company. Q: Anything else you’d like to add? A: I just wanted to mention our involvement with local artists. We are focused on working with local artists by bringing their art in to our stores. Also, we give them the opportunity to showcase their skills during live demonstrations at the store during weekend hours. Danlye Jones from Chanhassen and Justin Strom are a couple artists that are currently working with us. We feel this is a great way to give the customers an opportunity to see our local artists’ talents in action.

Wilhite, Piechowski named to All-Tournament Team
Win in epic fifth set lifts Eagles to state championship BY DANIEL HUSS dhuss@swpub.com
I
f there’s a stronger word than epic, let’s hear it. Heck, let’s use it. Saturday, the upst a r t E den P r a i r ie High School volleyball team – one website listed Eden Prairie’s chances of winning a state title as the seventh best of the eight teams participating – knocked off the defending state champion Lakeville North Panthers in the state championship match with a Herculean effort, winning 22-25, 25-21, 19-25, 25-18 and 22-20. The story? The story isn’t that Eden Prairie won, it’s how they won. Consider: Saturday’s championship match featured 32 tie scores and 14 lead changes. The last set alone featured nine match points, seven by Eden Prairie. “I don’t know,” said Eden Prairie’s Jamie Caircross, of all of Eden Prairie’s chances, “I thought we had it in the bag and then I switched to being nervous and then I thought we had it in the bag again.” Teammate Sarah Wilhite, easily Eden Prairie’s MVP, wasn’t so sure. “It was hard keeping the negative thoughts from getting into my head,” she said. In her next breath, she simply said, “but I believed in my teammates.” Where did it turn? “We called a timeout after Maddie (Maddie Reese) hurt her wrist in the second game,” said Eden Prairie Head Coach Chad Becker. “She said she could go and the team relaxed. If we lose that game, we might be talking about a different outcome.” Eden Prairie trailed 18-14 when they called the time out, yet went on to win the second set 25-21. Game on! “Lakeville hadn’t been challenged in the state tournament, they went 3-0 last year and started 2-0 this year,” said Becker. “The goal going into Saturday’s match was to put some pressure on them and see what happens.” Eden Prairie’s challenges are well documented. Eden Prairie played three, five-set matches prior to the state tournament, plus two, three-set matches while participating in regularseason tournaments. “We hadn’t lost a deciding game all season,” said Becker.
DEFENSE WINS … The adage that defense wins championships isn’t just a line. “In my six years at Eden Prairie, I might have seen double digit digs by four players maybe once,” said Becker. “This year,

Sarah Wilhite (right) and her Eden Prairie teammates celebrate winning their school’s first volleyball state championship. In the title match, Eden Prairie rallied from 0-1 and 1-2 deficits to beat defending state champion Lakeville North 3-2. we had five players in double digits three different times and on our three biggest stages, against Hopkins in the section semifinals, against Wayzata in the sections finals and Lakeville North in the state finals.” In Saturday’s match, Cairncross was credited with 29 digs, Ellen Piechowski with 21, Wilhite with 14, Reese with 11 and Anna Domalewski with 10.
Offensively, both teams fed their best players, again, again and again. As a result, Wilhite would pace Eden Prairie with 33 kills. Lakeville North’s Alyssa Goehner answered with 34. “It was like a heavyweight fight,” adds Becker. Thrilla in Manila? How about extra, extra at Xcel? Eden Prairie opened its state
tournament run Thursday with a 3-1 win over Owatonna. Friday, Eden Prairie beat Hutchinson 3-0. “Our goals going into the season were to win our invitational, win our conference and win our section,” said Becker. “We didn’t have winning the state tournament in writing, but I know we thought about it.” Mark it down.

Statistically speaking, EP’s got it covered Eagles blow past Tornados 35-21 in state quarterfinals BY DANIEL HUSS dhuss@swpub.com
According to NFL Network analyst Brian Billick, the three most important stats in football are turnovers, explosive plays and limiting explosive plays. If that’s the case, it should come as no surprise that the Eden Prairie High School football team has advanced to the state tournament semifi nals. T u r nover s ? Not on ly i s Eden Prairie a plus-23, but its starting quarterbacks haven’t thrown an interception in two years. Explosive plays? Have you watched Eden Prairie play? In Friday’s 35-21 win over Anoka in the opening round of the state tournament, Eden Prairie’s fi rst play from scrimmage went for a 59-yard touchdown. Never mind that it was called back because of a holding call. If that didn’t set the tone, it should have. “I’ve got to believe they were thinking, ‘Oh, oh,’” said Eden Prairie Head Coach Mike Grant. One possession later, Eden Prairie quarterback Grant S h a e f f e r h it a s t r e a k i n g Rashawn Fountain for a 75yard touchdown. Later yet, Jacob Woodring

Last, but not least, Andrew Larson would return a kickoff 50 yards. By comparison, Anoka, the team with statistically one of the top offenses in Class 5A football, counted 16 yards as its longest run, 21 yards as its longest pass.
The week before, A noka rushed for 479 yards in its win over Blaine. On Friday, the Tornado running game was limited to less than half of that (51 carries for 202 yards). Enough said. Larson, looking healthier than he did in last week’s 6-3 win over Minnetonka, rushed

Kira Zubar’s 4:47.81 500 freestyle time resulted in both a section title and a meet record. In addition, Zubar would qualify for the state meet in the 200 freestyle, placing third with a time of 1:51.34. proaches the state meet in such a good position. “Everyone who swims,” said Boston, “can score points.” Kira Zubar, for example, fi nished fi rst in the 500 freestyle (4:57.81) and third in the 200 freestyle (1:51.34) at Saturday’s section fi nals. She enters the state meet seeded No. 1 and No. 3. Eighth grader Bre Thorne sits in the same boat. At the section meet, she fi nished fi rst in the 100 backstroke (57.55) and second in the 100 butterfly (56.75). She enters the state meet as a No. 3 and No. 4 seed. Ellie Suek finished with a pair of threes, placing third in the 500 freestyle (5:06.62) and third in the 200 individual medley (1:51.34.). She enters the state meet seeded No. 6 and No. 10.
Rachel Baker, second in the 100 backstroke at the section meet (58.28), enters the state meet as a No. 7 seed. Sarah Coolidge, fourth in the 100 butterfly at sections (59.84), is a No. 23 seed at state. Eden Prairie placed third at sections with each of its relays. At state, Eden Prairie’s medley relay is seeded No. 9, its 200 free relay No. 5 and its 400 free relay No. 6. “Great spots,” adds Boston.
HIGH NOTE(S) Beating a state cut isn’t a prerequisite to having a great section meet. Emma Novak, the only senior of Eden Prairie’s state team, swam a 2.12 in the 200 individual medley on Saturday. Her best time going into
the season was 2.17. Aline Ahmed did the same in the 100 butterfly, improving from 1.04 to 1.01; ditto for Sydney’s Ungar’s 100 backstroke. She’d been a 1:06 for most of the season. At sections, she was a 1:01. Breaststrokers Erin Russoniello and Chantelle Tullemans would also cut time, big time. Russoniello went from 1.13 to 1.10; Tullemans from 1.15 to 1.09. “It’s good to have a good swim on Thursday,” adds Boston, “it’s great to repeat it on Saturday.” This year’s state meet, held at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center, begins Thursday (today) at 6 p.m. Swim/ fi nals are scheduled for Saturday (6 p.m.).

Out goes that fi nesse team that used to make drop passes at the blue line and then skate to the outside. In comes a team that’s going to crash the net … and anything in its way. “Since I wasn’t here last year, I can’t say it’s a new system,” said fi rst-year Head Coach Jaimie Grossman, who has coached at Holy Angels and Prior Lake for the last 15 years, “but from what I remember, Eden Prairie was more of fi nesse team. This year, we’re going to be more physical, especially in the defensive zone.” Defensively, Eden Prairie returns five of last year’s six starters, plus one of the top goalies in the state. Given t h at , Grossm a n doesn’t expect the other team to score a lot of goals. That doesn’t change the fact the team with the most goals wins. “Last year’s top line generated about 80 percent of the team’s offense,” said Grossman. “We’re not going to have

If we do that, we’re going to be pretty good, especially late in the year.”

TEKIELA NATURE SMART
For more than two weeks I have been waking long before dawn, dressing to be outside in cold weather and heading out into the dark. After a long familiar drive I strike out into the woods in search of whitetail deer. It has been my absolute pleasure to watch the transition — or should I say transformation — of the placid and congenial nonbreeding male and female deer into the half crazed, breeding-frenzied deer. When I first started searching for the deer to photograph for an upcoming book, the deer were calm and relatively content. The breeding season hadn’t started. Most of their time was spent feeding and milling about. All I needed to do was to sneak about to get close enough to get some portrait shots of these magnificent deer. It would be safe to say there weren’t any interesting behaviors going on at this time. Day after day I would find the deer feeding. They weren’t moving around much so I could reliably find the deer in the same place. The male deer, known as bucks, had already rubbed off the velvet on their antlers and were just killing time before the breeding season. The females were just hanging out together with their fawns from last spring. We’ve been experiencing one of the nicest autumn weather patterns in many, many years. No snow, cool temperatures and very little rain has lead to unprecedented amount of time I’ve been able to spend in the field. This has allowed me to spend extra time studying in detail the deer behaviors. The first big change in behaviors happened over night. One day there wasn’t many scrapes in the woods. (See my last article for more about scrapes). Then, and just like that, the woods were filled with patches of bare ground indicting the bucks were scraping the ground with their hooves to lay down their scent to entice the females into breeding. It was almost as if someone flipped a switch and suddenly the breeding season, also known as the rut, was in full swing. Within one day of the increased scrapes found in the woods, the bucks were starting to
Taking care of yourself has never been more convenient. Or more affordable.

follow around the females. At first the females, who are called does, seemed totally uninterested in the bucks. In fact, the majority of the time the does, when approached by the bucks, would retreat to thick cover of sapling trees or a tangle of shrubs where the bucks with their large antlers couldn’t go. The does would remain inside the protection of the thick vegetation until the bucks would leave. They would also run away, sneak around, or lie down to avoid the attention of the males. In the world of deer, males always initiate breeding. Unlike elk, which is the deer’s larger cousin, the males do not acquire harems, but rather pursue single females, one at a time. Females may only be receptive for 24 hours so the bucks often spend a long period of time pursuing the female. He will make a variety of snort-like calls, release a very pungent order, make scrapes on the ground, charge after the female with his antlers down and much more. All of this is believed to help move the female into estrous, or the time in which she can be impregnated. As the female becomes closer to being ready to breed, she will allow the buck to approach her and actually make contact. The male often smells around her genitals and licks the fur on her back and hind legs. When she is ready she will hold her tail up and over to the side and won’t move when the male bumps into her. Mating often takes place at night but also occurs during the day. I’ve photographed this several times in the past week. It lasts only a moment and the male moves off to find another receptive female. If for some reason the female doesn’t become impregnated, she will move into another estrus season in 28 days. At this time the roles reverse with the female becoming the aggressor and the male, which has worn himself out during the first breeding season, becomes passive and almost uninterested. The rut lasts only a couple weeks. Here in the upper Midwest it is all wrapped up by Thanksgiving. Further south the rut starts later and lasts until Christmas. Right now the males have changed their behavior one more time and are now chasing females through the woods. I often walk/run many miles each morning in order to keep up. The rut is wearing me out also. Until next time ...

he Eden Prairie High School girls swim/ dive tea m placed third (40 0 points) at the Section 6AA Meet, finishing behind first place Edina (523 points) and second place Minnetonka (457 points). At this week’s state meet, Eden Prairie is projected to finish third, behind both Edina and Minnetonka. Yes indeed, Lake Conference/Section 6AA swimming is that good. “G et Sti l lwater to come here,” said one 6AA fan,” and you’ve got your state meet.” For what it’s worth, Stillwater and Wayzata, another Lake Conference team, are also projected to fi nish in the top five. Go figure. In actuality, Eden Prairie’s section meet was half living up to expectations and half heartbreak. The first part equates to sending eight swims plus three relays to the state meet; Part II involves the swimmers that may have posted their best times of the season, but just missed out on beating a state cut. “It’s heartbreaking for the swimmers that missed out,” said Eden Prairie Head Coach Kelly Boston, “but there’s a difference between scoring points and making it. “Depth just keeps getting weeded out,” adds Boston. “It happens at sections and it’s going to happen again at state.” It’s true. Depth can be a difference maker in a true team format, but means little in a section or state-meet format. In the latter, it’s all about scoring points, meaning placing top 16 or better.

AN ‘INTERESTING ASIDE’ Teman wrote in a personal history, “Our group of 80 of the total of 1,000 planes that night was one of the few that hit their designated drop zone with their troopers. “An interesting aside regarding this occurred in England when our g roup comma nder, Col. You ng, made a bet with a battalion commander of the airborne that he would drop his troopers within 300 yards of the drop zone. A few weeks after the ai rbor ne d rop, Col. You ng got a letter with payment of the bet. The letter stated that our group dropped within 200 yards of the drop zone at St. Mary Eglise.”

To say that if they don’t send the money out right away they’re putting people’s lives at risk, “that’s just wrong and it’s reprehensible for the governor to suggest otherwise,” Hann said. “For a governor to scare people like that is very wrong,” he added.

Whereas, Eden Prairie is a school district that is what I would call more stable. There’s probably very little change, relatively, in population. “It’s not the same kind of environment of growth that was in Shakopee. “[There are] similar issues with trying to come up with quality programming for a diverse community … “Shakopee … has changed attendance boundaries and things because of how the population was growing and
www.edenprairienews.com | Eden Prairie News Teman wanted to be a pilot, but didn’t have a college education. He went to the Twin Cities, passed a college equivalency and got his wings in December, 1943, he said. After the war, he and wife Jean had three children, all born and raised in Eden Prairie, he said. He worked for IDS in downtown Minneapolis. Teman bought 36 acres in Eden Prairie off of what is now Singletree Lane, and was involved in the development of that area.
The Legion of Honor France’s Legion of honor was created by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802. “It has been conferred on illustrious individuals in all walks of life.” “The emperor intended membership in the Legion of Honor to be a distinction of such illustriousness that it would fire people’s imagination, spur soldiers to valor and be held in high esteem in other countries.”

This photo is taken from Teman’s book, “Lifetime Memories.” Teman was a pilot in the 9th Troop Carrier Command. Teman wrote that Troop Carrier Command’s mission was “the delivery of airborne troops behind enemy lines to disrupt enemy forces, to assist ground forces in accomplishment of the military objective. The group also did air medical evac missions and resupply of advancing ground troops.”
sically it said that they were awarding the Legion of Honor to veter a n s of t he S e c ond World Wa r who fou g ht i n France,” Pellinen said. “Teman was a pilot in World War II who was in all the major battles in Europe, especially in France.

the request for funds under the state “urgency” clause. Federal grants typically arrive twice a year. If the grants arrive during the legislative session, those grants will likely be handled by legislators through the typical appro priation process. However, for grants that come in when the Legislature is not in session, a nu mber of options come into play, according to John Pollard, communications director for the Minnesota Department of Management and Budget. I f the Legislature is not i n s e s sion t her e a r e mu ltiple steps that could come up through the Legislative Advisory Commission (LAC) process, he said. “In October, the administration as a whole submits to the Legislature all of the requests that have come in,” Pollard said.
At that point there’s a 20day review period. In the case of the Health and Human Services grants, Sen. Hann put in a request to look at those g ra nt s du ri ng t h at 2 0 - d ay review period, essentia l ly stopping the funds from being expended, said Pollard. However, since Hann’s action, Minnesota Management a nd Budget Com missioner James Schowalter has resubmitted the request for funds under the “urgency” clause. That al lows for a 10 - day review period by the members of the LAC, (Speaker of the House, Senate majority leader, chair of the Senate Finance Committee, chair of the House Ways and Means committee and chairs of the committees that oversee the funds, in this case including Hann.) During that period they can request a hearing to review the funds, said Pollard.
After holding that hearing, members can make a recommendation to proceed with the expenditures. “However that recommendation is not binding ; The administration can go ahead and expend those funds,” said Pollard. Hann asked, If the grants were so urgent, why didn’t the state designate them as urgent in the fi rst place? “None of these were designated as urgent,” he said. “All we’re suggesting is that these kinds of things need to have the scrutiny of the pubic and the Legislature,” he said.
moving within the district. Eden Prairie has had similar challenges. I see those as being the same.” Q: What made you decide to come out of retirement and apply for the Eden Prairie position? A: “I had said last year, when I said I was going to retire at the end of the year, that I was going to take four to six months off and just try some different things that I hadn’t done for a while, but that I was going to do something, I just wasn’t sure what it was. “When I got a call regarding this position, it just felt like something that would be of interest, and give me a chance to see what being an interim superintendent was like. I’ve always regarded Eden Prairie as a quality district and the chance to come here and
spend a little time and experience what it’s like in a stable district, which I hadn’t had for a while, was interesting to me … And, the nice thing was, it’s for a time period that sort of fit into my schedule, so it worked out.” Q :What were your thoughts coming into this district? Eden Prairie has had a very tumultuous past year. Have you previously gone through something like that? A: “I’ve experienced three rounds of attendance boundary changes in 11 years in Shakopee, so I’ve been through that and I understand, I think, the concern that people have anytime there’s change, that things are different than what they’re used to. “I don’t think it’s unique that there are concerns when you’re
doing those kinds of changes in a district. Hopefully I can lend a little perspective about that and I can help contribute with helping with the continued transition of the district and looking at things and determining if there’s some suggestions I can make about how some things can be tweaked or adjusted as we move forward and as the board determines how it’s going to continue the transitions.” Q: I know a number of parents would like those changes to be rolled back. How do you address the concerns of that group of parents? A: “Before you start making a bold number of adjustments you have to take a look at the big picture and where you’re at and what your goals are and change does take some time. Frankly, I haven’t been here long enough to really know a whole lot about

Noureddine Tayazime of the French Consulate in Chicago confi rmed that Teman is scheduled to receive the honor. It takes a few months for the medal to be presented. T e m a n r e c ei v e d s e v e n Bronze Star Medals, received the Air Medal three times and received the Croix de Guerre twice. “There’s going to be a ceremony someday, I suppose,” Teman said. “I don’t get excited about it. “I was there. I’m proud of that. That’s why I’m getting an award from the F rench government. Because we flew and liberated France from the Nazis,” he continues. “There’s not many left to give it to.”
More about health care grants According to a letter from Gov. Mark Dayton to State Sen. David Hann some of the health care grants would provide the following services: “Connect 5,000 cancer-afflicted Minnesota children and their parents to potentially life-saving research through the expansion of electronic diagnosis reporting that reduces the time required to inform families of treatment options from six months down to four weeks; “Provide grants to local governments and tribes, home to more than 3 million Minnesotans, to assist populations with the greatest health disparities and reduce their incidence of chronic disease, tobacco use, and obesity – which, together, add billions of dollars to the cost of health care in Minnesota; “Develop a system of home- and community-based services for aging veterans; and “Offer lower cost care alternatives to 17,000 Minnesotans with Alzheimer’s disease.”

Hann said he was told that none of the grants would be used to provide direct services and no one would be at risk if the money was not accepted right away.

the specifics of things. It’s my goal to educate myself and listen to others over the next two or three months and work with the board to try and see where we’re really at and what we might want to be going for.” Q: Have you had experience with the board’s style of governance before? A: “No, because I don’t think that that’s a model that’s used very extensively in Minnesota and I was not involved in that type of governance in any of the three districts that I served.” Q: What’s first on your agenda? A: “What I’ve been trying to do is meet people; get into the buildings; start to learn what issues and what initiatives are going on in the district that may need some support from myself. “… To begin to provide sup-
port and leadership for the board’s activities and for what’s going on at the school district, which is going to take awhile to figure out where everybody is, and what’s going on in all the buildings and where we’re at and there’s an amount of time that it takes to do that and that will keep me more than busy for the next two or three months. Q: Anything else you’d like to add? A: “One of the big items going forward is to select the next superintendent. I’m viewing my time here as a bridge to that time. “I think it’s an exciting time and an opportunity for the board and the community and the staff to participate in that entire process and make a selection on where you’re going in the future.”

In June, the Rev. Leith Anderson announced his decision to retire from his position as senior pastor at Woodda le Church in Eden Prairie, effective Dec. 31, 2 011. Anderson has b e e n Wo o d dale’s senior pastor si nce Jan. 1, 1977. A Leith retirement celAnderson ebration program is set for Sunday, Nov. 20, to honor Anderson and his wife, Charleen, for their ministry at Wooddale, according to a news release. “For 35 years, the Andersons have ministered to and through Wooddale Church. Their involvement in the life of Wooddale Church has been felt in many ways, not just from the pulpit,” the release said. During that time, the church campus moved from Richfield, constructing its distinctive building in Eden Prairie. Wooddale has also started nine daughter churches in the Twin Cities metro area and built a second campus in Edina.

Pull over for pulled pork Look the other way and you might miss a must-try sandwich BY DAVID SCHUELLER dschueller@swpub.com
T
he menu of Mr. Pig Stuff in Shakopee could come with a warning for those ordering takeout: Caution, delicious smell may cause distraction from driving or operating heavy machinery. Once you get the food from the car to the table, the meat makes it worth the wait. Yes, you can order sides. No, you don’t go to this barbeque spot on County Road 69 in Shakopee to order salad, unless you mean a side of potato salad. Well, who do you think you are? You like meat. At Mr. Pig Stuff – the name is a play off the song – it’s all about the meat. The restaurant specializes in pulled pork, brisket and ribs. A favorite is the applewood-smoked pulled pork sandwich. What started as a pig-roasting pastime for the McCormick family turned into a catering and restaurant business. Three siblings run the place – Chris, Staci and Nate McCormick. The catering came first. “That’s how we started, is hog roasting,” said Chris, the oldest
of the three. “That got big. We were booked up every week in the summer.” Eventually they were using a church kitchen to keep up with demand. “People started asking us to do sides, and all the stuff besides hog roasting,” Nate said. They decided to bite on a newspaper ad for the building that once housed a Taco Loco and Dairy Queen. The restaurant across from Rahr Malting Co. opened in May 2010. The catering continues. “We still do a lot of hog roasting every weekend,” Staci said. So far, they haven’t done any advertising for the restaurant, but over the summer their window saw lines of more than 15 deep during lunch. People heard about the place word of mouth. Some stop over from Rahr Malting, or sometimes semi-truck drivers pull over before heading out to the highway. “Really diverse group of people that comes down. Blue collar, white collar, police,” Chris said. Mr. Pig Stuff will remain open this winter but with reduced hours. “A lot of people call ahead and pick it up,” Staci said. Most of the business at the restaurant is takeout this time
While the sides are good, it’s all about the meat at Mr. Pig Stuff. Owner Chris McCormick said they get a lot of repeat customers from those who try the pulled pork sandwich. It’s also one of his favorites. “I like the pork. I do,” McCormick said. of year because there’s no indoor seating. People can eat outdoors during summertime on picnic tables. The McCormicks are hoping to move again to a location with indoor seating and also possibly to get out before road construction starts on that stretch in 2012-2013. “We’ve been looking for a bigger spot,” Chris said. But he also said the current place has character. “It’s always been a spot that’s been about good food in a unique
little location,” Chris said. It does seem to have its fans. If you’re planning on nominating Mr. Pig Stuff to be featured on a show like Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives,” someone has already beat you to the punch. Chris said customers have sent in recommendations for such shows. But the McCormicks are hoping to be in a bigger building before gaining national exposure. “It’s hard to keep up as it is,” Chris said.
I called the liquor store 28 times just to ask if you were there. I hung up when the clerk recognized my voice. I don’t care. I just want to know that you’re still there. I want to know that I can still get to you. I still have the old bottle that you were in when I first found you. You didn’t know I kept it did you? It still smells like you. Sometimes I pull it out and smell it when I’m listening to Air Supply. That’s our band, you know. Air Supply. Have you seen me slowly driving past the liquor store? Eleven times yesterday. I do it to see you in the window. That’s not weird is it? Think of it this way: I’m only looking out for you. I’ll always be there for you. You took some good pictures for your website. I printed some of them and taped them to my bedroom wall. And ceiling. And mirror. Some of them really show off your beautiful label. I think about your label a lot when I’m at work. I think about your dark cherry and anise flavors, too. I try not to think about them when I’m at church, though. Nothing good can come of that. And don’t go sharing your voluptuous mouth-feel and your exotic liqueur flavors with someone else. I don’t know what I would do. Do you understand? I just don’t know what I would do. Another customer almost bought a bottle of you. I talked him out of it. Then I bought the bottle myself. See? I told you I would always be there for you. I told you I was looking out for you. That’s why I’ve also written a 13,000-word manifesto explaining how perfect our love can be on the side of the box I brought you home in on that first perfect day. I really love getting close to you like this. Enough talk. It’s time to put on some Air Supply and pull out your old bottle again. This week’s recommendation: Bogle, Petite Sirah Port ($19.99): I know. Creepy. But it’s pretty much the way I feel when I become infatuated with a wine that so captures my full attention. Bogle Petite Sirah Port is one of those wines. It makes me want to build a little cozy room in my basement, buy a case of it, and lock us both inside so we can be happy all by ourselves. Forever.

Breaking the rules in the spirit of Thanksgiving I’ve been thinking about breaking the rules. Many years ago when I was a pastor in another Midwestern city I was showing a guest around that city. He was a friend and a recognized leader in ministries that addressed the needs of the poor in America. He asked that I bring him to see a couple of outreach programs in that city about which he had heard. I knew the leadership of those programs and arranged for visits and tours. We were through by midday and I suggested we debrief the experience of the morning over lunch. I had made reservations at a wellknown restaurant but my friend had another idea. He suggested we step into a small diner in the part of town near the missions we had toured. We chose a place that easily qualified as a “greasy spoon.” The floor was heavily worn linoleum. The tippy tables were flanked by chairs with vinyl upholstered seats repaired many times over with duct tape. The cook worked at a grill behind the counter. His

He left two $20 dollar bills and a $10! When he noticed the startled look in my eyes he just pushed me toward the cashier so I could pay the bill.

Typically the hotel provided meals in a private dining room and a team of waiters would be with us for the duration of the conference. Every year, at the meeting that preceded the final meal at the hotel, the founder and president would say something like this: “The bill for the conference has included gratuities for the people who have waited upon us the last few days. However, I’m thinking we need to make today the best day these people have ever had.” He put a 100 dollar bill into a hat and passed it around the room of 100 or so people. He might well have been able to make an extraordinary gift on his own but he was trying to teach his employees that giving trumps keeping when it comes to feeling good inside. He would say that “giving until it hurts” is a bogus maxim. The idea is to give until it finally feels good! Whatever you might be thinking about this little exercise of corporate persuasion, I can only tell you that never once did I hear a complaint from my
colleagues about these lessons in generosity. Thanksgiving is one holiday that is difficult to oppose. It is not overly commercialized. People of every faith and even no faith at all can warm to the spirit of giving thanks. Apart from overeating, it has few excesses. It is not a bad thing to count one’s blessings. In fact, it might be well to do so more than once a year! However, I’m wondering if Thanksgiving might also be a good time to start a personal tradition of breaking the rules when it comes to giving and keeping. In a year when the political dialogue includes voices that defend the rights of the extremely wealthy to keep it all, I have to wonder if outrageous generosity and random acts of kindness do not bless one’s soul and make God smile after all. Dr. Bernard E. Johnson shares this space with the Revs. Timothy A. Johnson and Rod Anderson as well as spiritual writers Lauren Carlson-Vohs and Beryl Schewe. “Spiritually Speaking” appears weekly.

NEWS BRIEFS
SouthWest Transit to open new station On Monday, Dec. 12, SouthWest Transit will open the doors to Chanhassen Transit Station, its newest, passenger facility. “This facility will meet the growing demand for SouthWest Transit (SWT) service. A significant amount of this demand comes from the city of Chanhassen and areas west of the city,” according to a news release. “The new 420-space, four-level parking structure replaces the former 120-space Market Park & Ride surface lot and provides covered parking as well as an enclosed, climate controlled waiting area. Express service will be provided to and from downtown Minneapolis and the U of M in the peak morning and afternoon hours, with limited mid-day service.” The site is just south of the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre and will blend with commercial development and housing. SouthWest Transit is an award-winning transit agency providing public transportation services for Eden Prairie, Chanhassen and Chaska and will provide more than one million rides for its customers this year.
SouthWest Transit wraps bus S out hWe s t T r a n sit h a s contracted with Trans Media Group to place advertising in the SouthWest Station parking ramp, and plans are underway to expand to other ramps. The fi rst bus was “wrapped” with the Channel 5 Eyewitness News team, according to a news release. “To ensure that our standards remain high and to reassure our riders, the SWT Commission passed an official advertising policy defining the types of ads SWT will accept. All ads will need to be reviewed and approved before they’re placed on any SouthWest property,” according to the release. “Proceeds from this advertising will help fi ll shortfalls we have in our operating budget.”
Holiday lights recycling available The Recycling Association of Minnesota (RAM), in partnership with Clean Energy
Resource Teams (CERTs), announces the third annual Recycle Your Holidays statewide holiday light recycling program. Lights and cords are recycled free of charge. The group encourages Minnesotans to drop off old, broken holiday lights at any participating Ace Hardware and other participating locations. They are also encouraging the switch to LED lights.

PROP Shop needs of the week
Minnesota fire departments, including Eden Prairie’s, have received training grants of more than $2 million. E d e n P r a i r i e r e c ei v e d $9,879.45, according to a news release. The Minnesota Board of Firefighter Training and Education (MBFTE) notified the departments of the grants. “The Fire Safety Account was created by the Minnesota Legislature in 2006. It is funded by a fi re-safety surcharge on all homeowner and certain commercial insurance policies in Minnesota. The Fire Safety Advisory Committee makes recommendations to the commissioner of the state Department of Public Safety on use of the funding.”
The PROP Shop client room currently requests donations of girls and boys warm pajamas, sizes 6 through 12. The PROP Shop is a nonprofit re-sale store, which sells new and gently used items to everyone in the community. It depends on donations of furniture, clothing and housewares. The PROP Shop also offers a separate Client Services Center which provides clothing, housewares and furniture to referred families and individuals in need. The PROP Shop is at 15195 Martin Drive in Eden Prairie. Store hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.

living in ep Did you know? With Thanksgiving on the way we are all going to be eating a lot of pumpkin pie. Here are some interesting facts about the pumpkins used to make these festive pies: In 2010, 1.1 billion pounds of pumpkins were produced by major pumpkin-producing states in 2010.
427 million pounds of these were produced by Illinois.
Other major pumpkinproducing states include California, New York and Ohio. Each of these states produced more that 100 million pounds of pumpkins.

Get ready to ‘Taste’ some buttery Scandinavian treats
I
t’s amazing what Scandinavians did with just butter and flour, remarked one of the volunteer bakers for St. Andrew Lutheran Church’s Taste of Scandinavia. Though the treats available for the event take a little bit more than just butter and flour, the cookies and breads highlighted during the Taste provide a simple treat that
harkens back to many childhoods. You’ll find lefse, a potato-based flatbread that you eat with butter and sugar. Other standbys are krumkake and sandbakkels – crisp, buttery cookies you can eat plain or with filling. This year’s Taste of Scandinavia will be held from 12:30 until 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19, bring $8 for a ticket and an empty stomach.
The Nov. 20, 2003, issue of the Eden Prairie News reported that the City Council OK’d a voluntary smoke-free program and a task force to work on marketing and implementing the plan. A voluntary recognition program using a color-coded star ranking system will eventually be the way city businesses are ranked for their friendliness to non-smokers.
Taste of Scandinavia When: from 12:30 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19 Where: Fellowship Hall, St. Andrew Lutheran Church, 13600 Technology Drive

Eden Prairie City Council members on Tuesday unanimously approved the recommendations by their Clean Indoor Air Task Force for what is dubbed the “Star Quality Clean Air Initiative.” The task force’s goal, set by the council in May, was to prepare a list of recommendations for the council to consider that would increase the quality of air in buildings in Eden Prairie.

1/2 cup of butter 1/2 cup of sugar
Twin Cities Bronze in Concert -Concert at 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 27, Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, 3674 Arboretum Blvd., Chaska
1 small egg, unbeaten 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour Cream butter, add sugar, cream well. Add egg and extract. Add flour to make stiff dough. Chill dough three hours or overnight. Allow to soften slightly before forming into tins. Form a small ball of dough and with the thumb press into the bottom and sides of the tin evenly. The tart must be thin, about 1/16 of an inch. Place tins on a cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees about 10 minutes or until golden. Take from oven, tip tins upside down and as soon as they are cool enough to handle, immediately pinch tins slightly to remove tin from tart. Pecan filling Into the unbaked tart shells spoon the following mixture. 1 beaten egg
1 scant tablespoon of melted butter
1/3 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/3 cup of chopped pecans
1/3 cup of dark corn syrup Fill tart 2/3 full. This mixture is enough for about 36 tarts. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Almond filling 1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup chopped blanched almonds
1/3 cup of butter
2 eggs
Bake for 25 minutes at 250 degrees.
After the krumkake dough emerges from the press, it’s folded into a cylinder.
Melvin Holthe’s Potato Lefse Mix together: 9 cups of Hungry Jack potato flakes
3 tablespoons sugar
3 cups powdered milk
5 teaspoons salt
Bring to boil 9 cups of water and three sticks of margarine. While hot, pour over the top four ingredients. Mix well. Cover with a dish cloth and let stand overnight in refrigerator. Divide the dough into three parts, the next day, add 1 1/2 cup of flour to each batch. You may need to add more so it rolls out well. Roll very thin and bake on a hot griddle (480 degrees). Makes about 60 to 70 pieces of lefse.
