Talking politics Minnesota Republican Seniors meet monthly to discuss the issues

BY BILLIE JO RASSAT SUN NEWSPAPERS Are you a Republican, 55 years of age or older and looking for a group of people who enjoy expressing their political opinions?

The Republican Seniors of Minnesota is a long established group that meets the first Tuesday of each month for lively discussion, a guest speaker and lunch beginning 10 a.m. at the Fred Babcock VFW Post 5555, 6715 Lakeshore Dr., Richfield.

Over 70 members from Richfield, Bloomington, Edina, Eden Prairie and other Twin Cities communities attend each meeting to partake in discussion on political books and newspaper articles, current political issues, political candidates and upcoming politically fueled events.

“Our main goal is to get together people with like minds to express in national and local political issues,” Vice President of the Republican Seniors of

In the small city of Richfield there lives a woman with an affinity for family, faith and Jazz.

“I started playing the piano at the age of three by listening to the radio and putting my fingers to the notes,” Jeanne Arland Peterson said.

In her teens, Jeanne began her award-winning career as a pianist and vocalist performing jazz to the world.

In 1969, Jeanne became the second organist for the Minnesota Twins, following in the footsteps of her husband, Willie Peterson, after he passed away from cancer that year.

Jeanne was the first woman to receive the prestigious Arts Midwest Jazz Masters Award for excellence in jazz musicianship in 1977. In 1998 she earned the Arts Midwest Jazz Masters’ Award and in 2005 was named a Minnesota Jazz Legend at the KBEM Winter Jazz Festival.

And in 2009, Jeanne was inductPETERSON: TO PAGE 12

COMMUNITY NOTES Vintage Baseball at the Richfield History Center The Richfield History Center is bringing vintage baseball to Richfield with a visit from the Quicksteps Baseball team for a day of family fun, ice cream treats and an authentic game set upon the first rules of the game made back in 1860.

The Richfield History Center is hosting a Baseball, Ice Cream and Family Fun Day from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 13, at 6901 Lyndale Ave. S., Richfield.

The Quicksteps of Minnesota is a premier vintage baseball team, or ‘nine’ in 1860 terms, that first took the field in 1994.

Based out of the Twin Cities, the team wears 1860-style uniforms and uses authentic reproductions of equipment from that era. The Quicksteps have played over 150 matches in 17 seasons in five states.

The Quicksteps aim to entertain and to familiarize spectators with baseball as it was played in the milestone year of 1860, when a uniform code of rules and

practices was first in use.

The nine has entertained audiences at historical festivals in Minnesota and Iowa and have played at the Metrodome and Target Field before Minnesota Twins’ games.

Thirty-three written rules govern the game the Quicksteps play. Prior to play, the umpire assembles the opposing nines for a review of these rules.

Some of the interesting differences of the rules back them versus today include the pitcher pitching the ball with a one-step, underhand delivery with strikes called only on a clean swing and miss.

Other differences include all of the fielders must hold their initial positions until the ball is struck such as the first, second and third basemen must be touching their bases. The ‘behind’ or catcher stands about ten feet from home plate and the shortstop may play wherever he chooses.

The differences in batting include a struck ball is only considered foul or fair depending on where it first hits the ground and a ball remains in play anywhere, even over the fences.

Politics FROM PAGE 1 Minnesota Bob Maginnis said.

The organization supports the Republican Party and its principles by making their voice heard to the politicians.

“We foster our people to contact the politicians on how we feel,” Maginnis said.

The Republican Seniors of Minnesota are not studying up on issues for themselves, but they are looking into the issues for their children and grandchildren because it’s the next generation that will be affected by policy changes, according to Maginnis.

At the Aug. 2 meeting, KTLK-100.3 FM morning co-host Bob Davis spoke to the group about how important it is to read the news versus watching it on television.

“Turn off the TV and pick up a paper,” Davis said.

Davis continued to tell the Republican Seniors to read as much information as you can and balance it with your own life experiences to form your opinions.

According to Maginnis, the whole group loved what Davis had to say and they all felt that he was very enthusiastic about his opinions.

“This was the first time we ever had a radio host speak,” Maginnis said.

Other speakers this year will include state Rep. Keith Downey, R-41A, and state Sen. Geoff Michel, R-41.

“We would like it if Congressman Erik Paulsen came and spoke to us about the current state of affairs on the issues of national and local spending,” Maginnis said.

Childcare center finds new home in Bloomington Whipple Federal Building at Fort Snelling. Kinderplatz was chosen, and within a year expanded its program to serve families with infants and toddlers, Kähkönen explained.

The building is being renovated under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, forcing Kinderplatz and several federal agencies to relocate, which they did in June.

The new home for Kinderplatz has eight classrooms and two playrooms in 15,000 square feet of space, as well as an outdoor play area.

Services are available for children from six weeks through 5 years old during the school year, and children up to 10 are accepted during the summer, Kähkönen said.

Kinderplatz is not limited to children of federal employees and is accredited for 98 children during the school year, 128 during summer, she noted. It is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

BY MIKE HANKS • SUN NEWSPAPERS In most offices at Norman Pointe Center 2 in Bloomington you will find it is business as usual, but for one of the building’s newest tenants, playtime is an important part of the day.

Kinderplatz Child Care and Education Center moved into the first floor of the Bloomington office building in the southwest quadrant of Interstate 494 and Highway 100 earlier this summer. Kinderplatz may seem like an unlikely tenant for a busy office tower, but its move coincides with the relocation of several federal agencies that rely on the independently-owned business for childcare during the workday.

The program traces its roots to Minneapolis’ Calhoun Square during the 1980s, according to Executive Director Marianna Kähkönen. It started as a simple drop-in childcare center that eventually developed a preschool program.

In 1993, Kähkönen applied to be the childcare services provider for the

A true story – this time, the fire was real The morning of Wednesday, Aug. 3, began like most mornings, as I poured myself a cup of coffee. I was going to Excelsior mid-morning, so I decided to check my email and get a little writing done before heading out.

Looking back, I still haven’t figured out if that was a good or bad thing.

I started to work on my column about how important family is. I had just returned from my cabin in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for some much needed time away.

That column is temporarily put on hold for a more pressing issue. About an hour and a half later, the fire alarms start going off in my apartment building.

Not an uncommon occurrence — they seem to go off numerous times a month. About 15 minutes into the racket, I remember thinking how annoying it was. I told myself, I’m not leaving until I smell smoke.

Not long after that foreshadowing thought, a friend in the building busted open my door, frantically asking me to help get her dog on the second floor.

Taken back by the alarm on her

CHRIS DILLMAN Excelsior/Shorewood Community Editor

face, it dawned on me that this might be the real deal.

Sure enough, upon entering the second floor, things did get real. Thick smoke filled the halls and the adrenaline began to take over. Not knowing the origin of the blaze, the “Rambo” in me took hold and it became a life or death mission.

We retrieved the dog, which appeared unaware of the calamity unfolding, and then we made it downstairs. I went for my computer and camera to bring outside. Since there was no smoke on my floor, I pondered making a second run in for the flat screen TV, but I’m sure some would advise against that. I put my life — read: camera and computer — into my car not knowing if I would have to make a hasty retreat. That’s when I noticed people on the third floor taking pictures with their phones out

the windows. They were seeing something I wasn’t, I realized, and within seconds smoke started to plume above the roof.

“Ohhhh… this can’t be good,” I thought. The smoke began to get thicker and darker, and visions of hellish flames rising as the place burned to ashes amidst the terror of people flared through my mind.

Well, that didn’t exactly happen, but what did happen was through the beauty of social media I was able to spread the scene unfolding, only to have people “like” the images. Doesn’t matter how funny my captions might be, you are not supposed to “like” things like that.

I digress.

Then the sirens: Never before in my life had I been happier to hear the sounds of rescue on the way. A crowd drew as the Minneapolis Fire Department arrived and attacked the blaze.

The fire department was able to put the fire out before it was able to spread too far. However, the apartments adjacent to the burned unit are no more.

As expected, people start getting to the bottom of this.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bandshell project alternative To the editor: I'm the local woman and Richfield resident who spoke at the city council meeting about the bandshell/amphitheater project.

I'd like to add to the article that was written about my comments and say that I also mentioned an alternative to an expensive permanent bandshell or amphitheater, which would require parkland to be altered.

My idea is a privately funded portable bandshell, which could

also serve as a multipurpose stage.

Such a unit is mobile, so could be used at parks throughout the city without altering their natural features. And the investment by private donors could be recuperated by renting it for private events such as church festivals, weddings, or dance and music recitals to name a few.

I encourage those who are enthusiastic about the bandshell/amphitheater project to consider the more economical, privately funded and park-friendly portable option.

Heidi Gaibor Richfield

And now for the kicker: Confirmed by the management of the property, some crazy woman, who probably is in her mid- to late 20s, must have thought eviction meant “Let’s burn this place down.” Upon hearing this, I knew right away whom they were talking about.

Hearing from the neighbor under her, she had apparently purposely flooded the unit below her (might have something to do with getting evicted). She’d also thrown her trash in the halls the night before, but that obviously wasn’t justice enough. Burn the building down, that’s the only way to solve that.

Honestly, people never cease to amaze me. She even left her cat in the unit. Sickening. Hopefully she’ll have a “hug-me” jacket soon.

All in all, nobody was hurt, and I have to give credit to the fire departments that protect us and can respond quickly to calls.

Without them, it would be back to the days of throwing buckets of water on a building that is becoming an inferno. Risking their lives to save others, there still is good in people.

To the fire chief: thank you After a garage fire, Manis family is grateful for the quick actions of the Richfield Fire Department

BY BILLIE JO RASSAT • SUN NEWSPAPERS Scott Manis and his family moved to the 2000 block of West 68th Street, Richfield in June from Brooklyn Park. With welcoming neighbors and relatives near by, the Manis family settled into their new home with ease until they got a call while relaxing at their cabin that their garage had caught on fire.

Just hours after Manis and his family left on July 29, neighbors called the Richfield Fire Department with a report of a fire.

“I was told seven fire trucks showed up to my house,” Manis said.

Luckily, according to Manis, the structure of the garage is still intact and is because of the extremely professional and extraordinary job by the Richfield’s firefighters.

“If you can make a bad situation better, [Richfield Fire Chief Wayne Kewitsch] and the rest of the department had a hand in it,” Manis said with praise.

After the incident, because Manis was not available at the time of the fire, Kewitsch made sure that the residence was secured and the surrounding neighbor were well informed and safe, according to Manis.

“He was genuinely concerned for me and my family,” Manis said.

Over the course of the week following the fire, Kewitsch had taken time out of his day to visit

Above, on July 29, a fire struck the Manis family home on the 2000 block of West 68th Street, destroying a 1951 Ford Street Car. At right, a garage fire on the 2000 block of West 68th Street on July 29 left charred walls, but could have been much worse if not for the quick action of the Richfield Fire Department.

(Photos by Billie Jo Rassat • Sun Newspapers) Manis’s home to see how the family was coping with their loss and even to drop of the incident report, according to Manis.

The fire was deemed an accident, but Manis suffered a big loss in property damage. The items destroyed in the garage included a 1951 Ford Classic Street Car and tools valued at more than $15,000.

“Even out of this bad situation, we are so happy to have had the Richfield Fire Department and its chief taking care of us. Thank you,” Manis said.

Welcome!

The Richfield Chamber is glad to have Virginia Sanchez (a Miss Richfield Ambassador in 2010Ͳ2011) as an intern to the Chamber since midͲJuly.

Thank you Virginia…you are a great addition to the Chamber!

EDUCATION NOTES Introducing Blessed Trinity’s Educator Emeritus Jo Culnane Jo Culnane has taught for thirty-nine years with Richfield Catholic schools, and has been with Blessed Trinity since the consolidation in 1994.

She has prepared numerous students to be successful thinkers and writers as they moved from eighth grade to high school.

She still hears from many of them who thank her for holding them to high standards and expecting them to learn.

The writing skills they built with Culnane as 13- and 14-year-olds continue to come in handy even into their adulthood.

More importantly than the academic lessons students have learned from Culnane are the life lessons steeped in the traditions of our Catholic faith.

Jo Culnane wears her heart on her sleeve when it comes to her love and reverence for the Church. Her students recognize and appreciate her sincere faith.

They see her practicing what she teaches.

Culnane doesn’t think complaining is a Christian activity, so complaining and excuse making is not tolerated. She believes in humility and service toward others and expects the same from her students.

Culnane cares about Christian moral development even more than creating great thinkers and writers. However, she excels at both, however.

As Educator Emeritus at Blessed Trinity, Mrs. Culnane will retain some of her teaching duties and will also serve as a mentor and homeroom teacher for Blessed Trinity’s middle school students and faculty.

In her honor Blessed Trinity is starting a fund called the “Jo Culnane Catholic Studies Endowment” for the purchasing of religion curriculum to ensure that students well into the future will have access to high quality textbooks, Bibles and other curricular materials for their religion classes at Blessed Trinity.

Culnane has made a dramatic impact in the lives of many colleagues, students and their families. Blessed Trinity is grateful she is willing to keep giving to Catholic education.

Ribbon cutting with a side of pie The Richfield Chamber of Commerce, Richfield Mayor Debbie Goettel and the staff at the Richfield Baker Square celebrated the new remodeling done at the 3000 W. 66th St. store in Richfield on Aug. 1, with a special ribbon cutting ceremony. The remodeling work was done in just a matter of six days. The improvements include a new space for special groups and meeting that is computer presentation capable with free Wi-Fi. Goettel said that Baker Square is showing real dedication to Richfield as they reinvest in their community business. (Photo by Billie Jo Rassat • Sun Newspapers)

Peterson FROM PREVIOUS PAGE over the country. Patty has seven Minnesota Music Awards with four solo recordings.

Paul Peterson of Edina was discovered at age 17 by the legendary artist Prince, and was featured in his award winning film “Purple Rain.” He is a multi-instrumentalist, playing bass, piano, guitar and drums. Paul has worked with Johnny Lang, Oleta Adams, Anita Baker, Paula Abdul, Joe Sample and Kenny Loggins.

Where do all these talents come from?

The show will begin at 6:30 p.m. and will feature an intimate setting of performances about the extraordinary life Jeanne Peterson lived.

“We do a lot of things individually, but when we get together, it is magical,” Paul said.

The professionals at AirBroom Minnesota Fireplace and Air Duct Cleaning in Excelsior can restore both your confidence and your chimney. Did you know that water causes more damage to masonry chimneys than fire? Your chimney, unlike other parts of your house, is constantly exposed to the elements. They are generally constructed of brick, mortar, tile, steel, and iron. All of these materials suffer deterioration as a result of prolonged contact with water.

Freeze and thaw cycles so familiar here in the Twin Cities cause stress on the chimney. Water that has penetrated expands and contracts. Left unchecked it will cause interior and exterior damage to your home and masonry chimney.

Some of the damage that can be caused includes: 1) spalled and broken exterior brickwork, 2) deteriorated masonry and metal firebox assemblies, 3) rusted dampers, 4) decayed mortar, cracked or missing flue liners, and in the worst case scenario damage to adjoining walls, ceilings, and woodwork.

There are three main ways to prevent water damage.

1) Install a chimney cap. This is the most inexpensive measure to prevent water penetration to the flue and inside chimney elements. We sell and install locally manufactured caps for as little as $99.

2) Repair or replace a damaged chimney crown.

The crown sits atop your chimney and covers and seals it from the flue liners to the chimney edge. Many chimneys are built with an inadequate crown constructed from common mortar mix. Mortar is not designed for and will not withstand years of prolonged moisture exposure without cracking and chipping which allows water to penetrate the chimney. A proper crown is constructed of a Portland

cement mixture and formed to provide an overhang drip edge. This assures the water will shed helping to prevent erosion in the mortar and brick of the chimneys surfaces.

Keeping the crown “watertight” and shedding away from the sponge like masonry elements that the chimney is built of is the most important element to preventing deterioration. At AirBroom Minnesota we use the industry leading line of Saver products to build and repair chimneys. Use of these products allows us to pass on manufacturers material warranties of up to 15 years to our clients.

3) Waterproof your masonry chimney and crown.

Most masonry is porous and will absorb large amounts of water. Brick acts like a sponge absorbing water and wicking it to the chimney interior. Products we use are specifically developed for use as waterproofing agents on masonry chimneys. These are vapor permeable – which means they allow the masonry to breath out but not in. This allows water that has penetrated the chimney to escape while preventing additional water from entering from the outside.

Non vapor permeable sealers commonly available should never be used because they trap moisture inside actually accelerating deterioration. We use a special permeable sealer with a 10 year consumer warranty to protect your chimney. Doing this before deterioration occurs can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in future repairs.

Water damage to chimneys is usually a slow subtle process.

The problem is generally not obvious until it has become quite serious. Although these prevention measures may cost you a few dollars they can save you a lot more by preventing large future masonry repairs.

Hermantown coach leads his team at state

BY JOHN SHERMAN • SUN NEWSPAPERS When Jimmy Karnas coached unranked Hermantown to a fourth-place finish in the state American Legion baseball tournament, his grandfather, George Karnas, beamed with pride.

George has been a Legion baseball volunteer in Minnesota for the past 40 years, and he recently announced his retirement as Fifth District director. Previously, he had served as state Legion baseball director and he is still active in the baseball program at Richfield Legion Post 435.

Jimmy Karnas came up as a player in the Richfield Legion program. He was on the Reds’ roster for four seasons and once reached base in 27 consecutive plate appearances.

As a coach, Jimmy has taken the family tradition and run with it. He learned the basics from his grandfather, who coached Richfield to state and regional titles in 1973, long before Jimmy was born.

Jimmy’s father, Mike Karnas, coached Richfield to numerous state Legion appearances.

Mike’s other son, Matt, an assistant coach at St. Olaf College in Northfield, also coached the Richfield Reds in the state Legion tourney.

“When I watched Jimmy coaching last week, I thought I was seeing Mike all over again,” said George. “Jimmy was using the same signs Mike used at Richfield, so I was able to follow his moves during the game.”

Hermantown was the Cinderella story of the tournament. The small town located just outside Duluth does not have a history of winning district Legion titles. Jimmy’s team had to upset Grand Rapids and Duluth Lakeview to qualify for the state tourney, which was held in Eden Prairie.

Hermantown opened the tourney with an 11-8 win over New Ulm Gold and upset Centennial 8-7 in the second round. After losing to Sauk Rapids 14-11, Hermantown

“It is special for me to be here,” said Jimmy during the state tournament. “My grandfather coached here and took his team all the way to the World Series. My dad coached me and my brother in the state tournament. I’ll bet 35 people have come up to me and said, ‘I know your grandfather’ or ‘I know your dad.’”

The Hermantown players are well aware that the Karnas name carries a lot of sway in Legion baseball.

“Jimmy comes from a great baseball family,” said pitcher Jesse Olson, the starter and winner against New Ulm Gold.

“He’s a great coach and he knows a lot about the game. I trust everything he tells me.”

“I was impressed with the way Jimmy handled his team,” said George.

“Personally, he conducted himself very well. He was courteous toward the tournament directors and shook hands with the umpires after every game.

“Of course, I was pleased to see his team do so well. Fourth place at state was a great performance for them.

“The rest of the Karnas family can’t take credit for what Jimmy accomplished,” George added. “Sure, we gave him some of KARNAS: TO PAGE 24

Berg is valuable booster of youth baseball programs Longtime SLP resident has served kids’ needs for four decades

BY GREG KLEVEN • SUN NEWSPAPERS Gene Berg has played a prominent role in making sure St. Louis Park has fielded quality youth baseball teams over the past four decades. And he has fulfilled his greatest mission – giving kids a chance to play and enjoy the national pastime.

The 70-year-old Berg became active in the Park baseball program when his three sons Craig, Bryan and Keith began Little League participation.

Berg served as Little League coach and president before taking over the presidency of Park’s Babe Ruth program.

However, Berg’s greatest legacy is his work with the American Legion baseball program. He has been involved in Legion baseball for 31 years.

Berg turned over St. Louis Park’s American Legion team manager duties to Mark Jerve after 25 years. But the longtime St. Louis Park resident has difficulty saying no to worthwhile youth sports organizations.

So, Berg agreed to take over duties as South Hennepin League’s Legion baseball coordi-

nator five years ago. And he plans to continue to help Legion baseball as long as his health allows him to do so.

“I have gotten many rewards from working with the various youth baseball programs,” said Berg. “You meet a lot of wonderful people working with these programs.

“The main goal is to help kids and keep the programs going.”

Berg can’t say enough of the backing he has received from St. Louis Park American Legion Post 282.

“We have received outstanding support from Post 282 throughout the years,” said Berg. “The post helps us put on spaghetti and pancake fundraisers to raise money to keep our program going.

“Baseball was one of the original programs sponsored nationally by the American Legion. And we are fortunate to have a great post as our sponsor.”

Participation numbers are down for the St. Louis Park Legion program. But Berg and other devoted volunteers are determined to keep the program solvent in the future.

“We used to have 75 to 80 players try out for the Park Legion baseball program,” said Berg.

“But now kids have so many other sports as options during the summer months.

“But we will continue to work

hard to keep the program running.”

Glory days One of Berg’s greatest Legion thrills was being connected with the 1987 St. Louis Park team that won the state title and placed fifth in the region tourney. Park finished with an impressive 56-10 record.

“Those six seasons working with our head coach John Sherman were the most fun I have had working with the Legion program,” said Berg. “John was a great guy and turned out quality teams.

“We qualified for district tournaments four of six years from 1986 to 1992.

“Our state championship team had many outstanding players including Matt Parrington, Rob Divinski, Pat Fix, Adam Mack, Keelan Conley and Sean McGinty.”

Berg credits his wife Rita for putting up with his love of baseball and his demanding volunteer work schedule.

“Rita has been very supportive of my Legion duties,” said Berg.

“She has traveled with me to many games and tournaments over the years.”

Berg and his wife didn’t have to travel far to attend this year’s state Legion tournament last weekend in Eden Prairie.

ence,” he said. “My son Mike was on that team. We had Brian Denman and Joe Zilka as starting pitchers and John Vogelbacher was our catcher.”

George said he is anxious to see where Jimmy’s coaching career will take him.

“When I watched his team play at state, they all hit the ball pretty well,” said George. “And they played their positions by the book. When I saw how well coached they were, it was certainly a thing of pride for me.”

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the above classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers.

Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service.
