Legislator escapes scathing heat, reports ‘warm’ crowds at parade Leidiger says he heard only four jeers all day

BY FORREST ADAMS fadams@swpub.com

During the Chanhassen Fourth of July parade Monday, Erik Salveson described himself as one of the few Democrats in Carver County, but what the Waconia resident said about the state government shutdown was not unique.

“The best-case scenario would have been no government shutdown, but now this is going to require compromise,” said Salveson as Rep. Ernie Leidiger rolled past on a Carver County Republican float, waving enthusiastically to the crowd.

“Get back to work,” Salveson said dismissively.

Elsewhere on the parade route, Sharon Critzer, an Eden Prairie resident, said she has a friend who lost work as a result of the shutdown.

“It’s too bad they can’t figure this out for the average person,” she observed. “They should just set party lines aside.”

Another Eden Prairie resident, Mary Kubicek, said she was more supportive of the Republicans.

“It’s unfortunate they can’t learn to live within their means,” she said.

Chanhassen City Councilor Bethany Tjornhom said she brushed up against an undercurrent of anger about the state Legislature as she

Adison Christensen, 3, in the dress, braved last Thursday’s muggy weather to attend the 11:30 a.m. Will Hale and the Tadpole Parade musical concert in City Center Park. Adison’s mother, Shannon, described her daughter as an active, busy, social little girl who loves music and loves to interact.

“We try to make as many of these as we can,” she said. They live in the city of Carver.

The next free summer concert in City Center Park, Calhoun Brass, is scheduled from 7 to 8 p.m. for Thursday, July 7.

CONSERVATIVE FEEDBACK Leidiger said the feedback he has gotten since the legislative session ended has been mostly supportive of the GOP stance against the governor. “ T hey wa nt u s to hold strong,” he said. “My constituents absolutely do not want me to back down.”

“People are angry,” “They told me, ‘If you’re from the state government, you need to leave.’ I told them I wasn’t from the state, and they were a little friendlier.”

LAKE ACCESS continued from page 1

proposal would move all inspections to Lake Minnewashta Regional Park, all for the pooling of lake resident resources to hire full-time, DNR-trained boat inspectors and also install a gate over the public boat launch ramp at Lotus Lake and Christmas Lake.

Boaters seeking access to Lotus and Christmas lakes would fi rst be required to pass a boat inspection at Lake Minnewashta Regional Park. After passing the inspection they would receive an inspection sheet to place on the dashboard of their vehicle and a code that they could use to launch their inspected boat. The code could be used to get through gates, similar to the gate at an automatic car wash. It would be a one-time code. Boaters wishing to launch in the same lake the following day would be

required to get a new code.

So far the Minnehaha Creek Watershed Dist rict, which has some jurisdiction over Christmas Lake and Lake Minnewashta, and city of Shorewood, which has some jurisdiction over Christmas Lake, support the efforts. The city of Chanhassen, which has some of Christmas Lake and all of Lake Minnewashta and Lotus Lake within its borders, does not. Chanhassen Mayor Tom Furlong confi rmed he has been in meetings with all the previously noted entities about the proposed gated entrances but said the issue is not scheduled for a future Chanhassen City Council agenda.

“We will continue to review the proposal and consider other alternatives,” he said.

The DNR, which would have to approve the gates, does not support the proposal either and is concerned about limiting lake access. The Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed Dis-

trict, which has some authority over Lotus Lake, has made no public comment about the issue. Carver County, which operates Lake Minnewashta Regional Park, is the sixth entity involved in the discussions, so far.

Steve Gunther, president of the Lake Minnewashta Preservation Association and an advocate for changes in how lake owners are allowed to protect lakes from invasive aquatic species, is on the Carver County Parks Commission agenda next week and the Carver County Commission agenda lake this month. Gunther said hopes the county parks commission will recommend that the Carver County Board require all boat inspections to be centralized at Lake Minnewashta Regional Park.

He said so far the city of Shorewood approved the installation of a gate, which he estimated would cost under $20,000 and would be paid for

with private donations from lake residents.

There is a question whether or not the DNR would permit such a thing, considering public access points to Minnesota lakes have been developed using state and federal dollars, and lakes in Minnesota are considered property of the state.

“We can’t change how the access is operated,” said Todd Hoffman, director of the Chanhassen Parks and Recreation Department.

It’s a messy situation, so much so that Joe Shneider, president of the Christmas Lake Association, said concerned lake residents are “pulling our hair out.”

“Lake associations are very, very frustrated with the DNR,” Shneider said. “We’re trying to do a private project. The DNR has a motto of free and unfettered access to the lakes. They are not supportive of anything that prohibits access to the lakes. We’re pulling our hair

out because they’re stymying us at every turn,” he said. “I heard a gate would inconvenience boaters. Is it an inconvenience to boaters to keep the lake clean?”

Chanhassen Fire Department Capt. Mark Littfin said he likes recreational fires just as much as any Minnesotan, but it’s got to be done by the rules.

Containing recreational fires one pit at a time Fire officials encourage good etiquette

BY FORREST ADAMS fadams@swpub.com

It doesn’t happen often, but maybe once each month Mark Littfin said he takes a complaint from somebody about a smoky residential fi re.

“It’s not a real big problem,” he said.

The Chanhassen Fire Marshal even went so far to say “a minimum” of five years have passed since somebody in the city has actually gotten a citation for violating the city’s fi re code, most of which is based on the Minnesota State Fire Code.

Littfi n said he examines the city’s adaptation of the state fire code once every year to determine whether or not he needs to adapt it to local situations.

The acting fire chief, Ed Coppersmith, added: “For the most part, everybody is pretty well law abiding.”

Despite an insistence that there is no problem with rampant recreational fire ordinance violators in the city, Littfi n said it’s still important to remind residents that although a burning permit is not required for recreational fi res in Chanhassen, the fires are not totally without regulation.

The city’s fi re policy states that only a person who knows how to use a fire extinguisher is permitted to supervise the fi re until it has been extinguished; the fi re must be at least 25 feet away from combustibles if it’s a fi re pit and at least 10 feet away if it’s a portable fire pit; the material to be burned should be no larger than three feet in diameter and three feet high; the wind must be blowing less than 15 MPH; and many things that you might think you should be able to burn are actually not permitted.

An old fish house is not permissible for a recreational fi re. Neither is an old deck or any other painted or treated wood. Other items you may want to burn. but which are still not allowed. include tree leaves, brush, tree trimmings, hay, cardboard, garbage, straw, lumber, pallets and other rub-

DISTRICT 112

Athletic fees skyrocketing

BY CHUCK FRIEDBAUER friedchu@yahoo.com

T he Di st r ic t 11 2 S cho ol Board unanimously approved a budget for the 2011-12 fi scal year at last Thursday night’s meeting.

The budget includes expected revenues of $121.6 million and expenditures of $122.7 million. The board is required by Minnesota statute to approve and adopt a budget by July 1 each year.

The budget includes the $2.398 million in cuts approved by the board in April. Key reductions were an average class size increase of approximately one-third student per class

across all grades and removing $250,000 from the general fund balance.

Additionally, layoffs and reduction in days worked in various areas will result in the loss of approximately 30 full-time positions. District director of fi nance and operations DeeDee Kahring said, for the most part, all the budget reductions took place as planned.

“One cut that could not happen was a delivery driver position, because union contracts precluded that from happening,” she said. “Otherwise, the appropriate layoffs have been put in place.”

Athletics and activities fees for next school year have also been raised as pa r t of t he budget reductions. While individual and family caps have remained the same at $500 and

$ 900 respectively, most fees will go up by $25. The fee to play hockey increased $100 to $330 and football increased by $30 to $250.

One unknown factor on the district budget is the impact the state government shutdown will have.

“We have not incorporated a shutdown into this budget,” said Kahring. “Until we see what the governor and legislators come up with, we would not have details with which to plan.”

EDITORIAL

Leading way in renewable energy A tip of the hat, or perhaps a spin of the wheel, is in order for The Mustard Seed Landscaping and Garden Center.

The business, located west of Chaska of f of Highway 212, has recently installed a new landmark – a 160-foot-high wind turbine. The windmill will be commissioned at a July 14 open house.

Owner Mark Halla expects to generate 120,000 kilowatt hours per year with the turbine. The business only uses around 100,000 kilowatt hours per year, so he can sell the rest back to the grid.

Grants will cover 55 percent of the $200,000 bill. He expects the turbine to pay for itself within four years.

“The real joy is we’re doing the right thing with renewable energy,” said Halla.

Renewable energy is the future.

We hope Halla’s turbine repairs the local perception of wind energy caused by the flaw-ridden Minnesota Municipal Power Agency turbine installed in 2009 near Pioneer Ridge Middle School.

“We’re setting the bar, leading the way,” said Halla, whose business also employs a geothermal heating and cooling system.

The Mustard Seed’s example does lead the way for other businesses to consider going “green” in the design and efficiency of their buildings and operations.

LETTERS

GUEST COMMENTARY

1.6 million cases seeking justice

BY EDWARD LYNCH

Editor’s note: Six judges serving in the First Judicial District, which includes Carver County, have volunteered to write columns about the work of the court; Edward services provided by Lynch the court; its impact on lives of people; and challenges involved in the judicial system. The first column is by the First Judicial District’s Chief Judge Edward Lynch.

For many people court, is where traffic tickets are paid, criminals are prosecuted, divorces are processed and Judge Judy presides. In other words, a place to be avoided.

It is not surprising that few people think about the constitutional responsibilities courts have, the critical services they provide to the people of Minnesota, or the important role they have in preserving public safety, economic stability, individual freedom and personal security.

Courts are involved in more than just traffic tickets and criminal prosecution. While holding criminals accountable for their conduct and collecting fines and fees are important aspects of what courts do (last year courts processed over 193,000 criminal matters and collected almost $200 million that was paid out to cities, counties and the state), these are far from the only services provided.

The courts in Minnesota hear cases that involve people who need help at critical times in their lives involving some of the most important matters in their lives. If you are not directly involved with the courts, it is almost certain that you have a friend, relative or neighbor who is.

Three examples demonstrate the variety and urgency of the cases heard in courtrooms throughout Minnesota.

An elderly man who lost a leg in an accident was unable to obtain recommended medical treatment without court intervention because the two companies that insured him could not agree which was responsible for payment of the expenses.

A woman came to court for an order for protection after finding her husband’s journal that described his detailed plans and preparations to kill her and their children.

A pre-teen girl involved in a child protection proceeding because of the physical and emotional abuse inflicted by her mother wrote a letter to the judge describing the beatings, explaining that the whipping with the extension cord “hurt the most” and ended her letter by pleading: “HELP ME PLEASE.” The court’s job is to make sure that these important matters are handled in a timely and responsible manner.

The Minnesota Constitution states that every person is entitled ‘to obtain justice freely and without purchase, completely and without denial, promptly and without delay.”

The courts in Minnesota, as the

third branch of state government, are charged with ensuring that this constitutional right of the people to timely access and impartial justice is honored.

Each year over 1.6 million cases are filed with the courts seeking justice.

By discharging the Judicial Branch’s constitutional obligation, the courts protect the freedom, security, family and property of individuals, while supporting and promoting society’s interest in public safety, economic stability and social order.

TECHNOLOGY In recent years the Judicial Branch has embraced technology to create efficiencies for the courts and for other justice system agencies so these important matters can be processed and heard in a reasonable time.

The electronic filing of documents and the availability of court documents, calendars and other court related information over the Internet have improved access and reduced costs associated with court proceedings. The expanded use of interactive video for court hearings, the development of remote interpreter services, and the creation of web-based staff training have reduced expenses so the courts can continue to provide meaningful and timely court proceedings.

The Judicial Branch Strategic Plan, first adopted over a decade ago, recognizes the need for the courts to do a better job at less cost, to be more efficient and more effective.

The courts have worked with other justice system agencies to improve the effectiveness of the services they provide. Problem solving courts have been created to address the mental health, alcohol and substance abuse issues that frequently drive criminal behavior and contribute to family dysfunction.

Courts throughout Minnesota have implemented new approaches to the often difficult process of getting a divorce. Early court intervention in these matters has reduced the time, conflict and cost frequently associated with these proceedings.

To assist the increasing number of people who cannot afford to hire an attorney or choose to represent themselves in court proceedings, forms and informational brochures have been revised, assistance centers have been created in several courthouses, and a Self Help website has been developed. These efforts go beyond the efficient disposition of cases and strive for better outcomes and a more satisfactory process.

Despite the challenges presented by an increasing demand for court services and multiple funding reductions, the people of Minnesota continue to receive high quality services from their courts.

While most people may still want to avoid criminal prosecution, traffic tickets and divorce proceedings, there should be comfort in knowing that Minnesota’s courts are available and responsive if their freedom, family or property are ever threatened.

LEGISLATURE

Willing to pay for Minnesota nice Our state legislature has spent the last six months writing and debating and passing bills that they kniew the governor would never sign.

They pushed their agenda of voter suppression. They advocated for ending Planned Parenthood, even though that is the only access poor women have to birth control. They held ongoing hearings on the “Shoot First” bill, universally seen by law enforcement as dangerous and unwanted policy.

Our state legislature has not thought about the problems that face Minnesota. They don’t care about the achievement gap in our schools, or about childhood poverty, or creating jobs. Jobs are driven by demand, not by corporate profits. If people don’t have money to spend buying products or services, there is no need to hire employees to provide those goods or services.

Our state legislature has forgotten who we are as a people. Minnesotans are kind, compassionate, hardworking, and neighborly. We want to help each other; we want everyone to succeed, not just the corporations.

Speak up! Tell our state legislators that we are willing to pay for Minnesota nice!

Sue Lantto Chanhassen

Work together or clean house Minnesotans awakened Friday morning to learn the state of Minnesota had shut down. Few, if any, should have been surprised.

Those elected have not accomplished much of anything this session, unless the secret meetings behind closed doors discussing ways to build a new Vikings stadium for a very wealthy man count, and surely we wouldn’t expect them to do something in the waning hours.

What we should be surprised about is that they expect to be paid during the shutdown when their actions, of lack there of, have caused others to loose their paycheck.

They were elected to represent the people who knew the Republicans stood for no new spending/cuts and the Democrats wanted to tax the wealthy. Why can’t we have both – taxes, but no new spending?

It’s time those at the Capitol learn to work together or we Minnesotans need to clean house the next time around.

Sherrill Roof Chaska

Shutdown follows global model The standoff between legislative and executive branches right now is cloaked in standard political

rhetoric.

Gov. Dayton desires to protect and enhance current models, while legislative leaders seek to control cash. Globally, these two strategies are often accounted for in tariffs and sanctions.

The governor’s determination to tax high earners essentially operates as a tariff. Tariff’s tax other’s success to protect a certain subset of a market. It is most often applied to imports, but rather than taking jobs away, the governor is accusing high earners of taking jobs, access, and benefits away from disadvantaged populations. The challenge with tariffs is they do not work long term, cause no systemic change, and those being protected do not develop more competitive systems.

The members of the Legislature are not faring any better as they are only imposing sanctions. By establishing a revenue neutral budget, and holding the line on tax increases, they starve the budget of cash. The challenge with sanctions is they cause no systemic change.

In most cases, sanctions are put in place to limit the control of sovereign government. However, most typically, the government maintains explicit control and impacts are felt on the general populous.

The “lights on bill” was a further slide on a slippery slope and should not be viewed as progress or a reasonable attempt at avoiding shutdown. It would only serve as a softer transition into our current state. Most disheartening is the continued discussion of who gets the blame for the shutdown. Commentary in this regard is indicative of the challenges we face. No one is addressing what the state needs to move forward, which are systemic changes in taxation, collection, budgeting, and spending.

Tariffs and sanctions are political plays to punish other politicos.

Neither is functional at establishing environments that will lead a populace forward and neither can be construed as leadership. Both are copouts and only lead to us revisiting this situation again and again.

Should Minnesota be able to figure out how to manage itself with a $34 billion budget? YES! But the elected and the populace need to accept that doing so will require real work, real risk, and real change. At current rate, even if “both sides come to agreement” Minnesota still loses.

4TH OF JULY

Chanhassen cares Today was warm. The thermometer in the older, 2002, bronze Toyota read 89 degrees. The sky above was blue with small threadlike fragments of white cloud adding faint threads to the side of the sky. The roads through town were nearly vacant. I drove toward City Center Park.

I was a little early. I wanted to scope the place, looking at the car-

nival rides that had been erected on the primary school playground. A large, tall ferris wheel stood at attention, not far from a child-sized roller coaster. Small children’s circular rides were positioned nearby. There were stalls offering an opportunity to win a prize. One of these offered a row of brightly decorated stuffed 3 foot long bananas. I thought I would rather not win that one.

I ambled onward checking the “Taste of Chanhassen” booths.

These presented their specialties.

There was pizza, barbecued pork, lemonade, and specials from restaurants, one of the most elegant in town. Stopping at a booth meant to make money for the local Boy Scouts, I ordered a buttered ear of corn. Grasping this, I moved away and started biting into the sweet yellow kernels.

I noticed a pony ride for the younger set with a sign “$ 5.00 a Ride.” For the older set (generous parent or doting grandparent) there was the opportunity to give that child a memory.

The grass was green but uneven.

Watching the ground, I walked into the large tent area that would be used, later, by the band and by hundreds of people expected to sit, drink, and converse while watching the best band the local high schools could produce. “Chanhassen Storm” tee shirts were being sold by local high school students.

It was just about 3:30. It was time for me to enter the one tent I had been waiting to visit, the Business Expo.

Suddenly people started walking in, gathering up free candy, bottles of water, pens, pencils, note pads. They did converse with the vendors and seemed satisfied with information they received.

There was a golden retriever sitting on the grass by the veterinarian booth, and a traveling band of three older white-haired gentlemen playing a bass, a washboard, and a banjo as they strolled along the corridors of the tent.

It wasn’t until leaving my parking spot at the local Klein Bank that I started musing about life in a small Midwest city. How did representatives of the 22,952 souls calling Chanhassen home, manage to pull off this annual community celebration?

I think they do it because they fi nd it important, and, because they care.

Tomorrow, there will be two fishing contests, one for adults and one for children, a vintage car show and a large patriotic parade. Once the sun retreats and the moon enters, the sky will be fi lled with colored sparkling explosions of thousands of pieces of light. These will enter the sky with the speed of a rocket only to make an arc and return to earth.

Keith and I will be there watching this yearly magic.

Happy 4th of July.

I know there are places more elegant and polished than this small Minnesota city, but right now, I would just as soon be here.

Mark Crichton The annual Fourth of July car show is always dazzling. Vintage collector cars, waxed and buffed to high sheen, draw oohs and aahs. As long as you mind your Ps and Qs, and keep the mitts off the metal beauties, proud owners are happy to let you look as much as you want. Some people collect because the cars remind them of their younger, hot rod days. Others collect the cars they once only dreamed about owning. And others love to restore classics

to their former glory.

And then there’s Mark Crichton of Eden Prairie. This car is more than a car. He sat in his black 1956 Thunderbird, appreciative of the comments and compliments. He got teary when he explained that the T-bird used to belong to his dad. “I got it in 2003, when he died,” Crichton said. “He loved this car, just loved it.”

hanhassen’s Fourth of July is jam-packed with activities for all ages. It offers fun for everyone. The annual celebration attracts people from all over as we found making our way through the many July 4 attractions. Look at some of the folks we met this year.

Thank You Sponsors!

Tom Kvale

By the time you read this, Anne Adams, most recently from New Berlin, Wis., now of Chanhassen, should be a grandmother for the second time. The little boy — no name picked yet — was due Sunday. But Sunday came and went and no baby. Instead of waiting at home, Adams, her daughter and son-in-law, Andrea and Mike Boyer, and granddaughter Natalie, age 3-½, decided to spend their day at Chanhassen’s Fourth of July festivities. While the Boyers headed for downtown, Adams stayed cool at the beach with Natalie, seen to the right. Adams moved to Chanhassen earlier this year, to be closer to her only daughter.

Tom Kvale takes his fishing seriously and knows how to dress for a morning of competitive fishing in Lake Ann. Tom and his wife, Barb, are from Toledo, Ohio, and were Fourth of July weekend guests of Becky and Michael Olson of Chanhassen. Although Kvale didn’t place in the competition, or win a door prize, he and his group enjoyed the fi ne fishing weather. Like they say, a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work.

CITY OF CHANHASSEN TENTATIVE AGENDA CHANHASSEN CITY COUNCIL MONDAY, JULY 11, 2011 CHANHASSEN CITY HALL, 7700 MARKET BOULEVARD 5:30 P.M. - CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION, FOUNTAIN CONFERENCE ROOM Note: If the City Council does not complete the work session items in the time allotted, the remaining items will be considered after the regular agenda.

CONSENT AGENDA

Nikki Groskreutz Nikki Groskreutz, 11, couldn’t sleep. She was too excited. The Chanhassen Kids Fishing Contest was just around the corner.

“She kept on saying, ‘Can we leave? ’ ‘Is it time? ’ Tony Groskreutz, her dad, said. “She loves fishing. She wants to be another Babe Winkelman.”

Finally, it was time to pack her fi shing rod and her super secret fi sh bait (hotdogs cut into tiny pieces —“The fi sh love them,” Nikki said).

While waiting for the contest to officially begin at 11 a.m.

Monday, Nikki warmed up by pulling in some sunnies.

The Groskreutz family recently moved back to Chanhassen after spending several years in Frankfurt, Ill. Groskreutz reps fishing and hunting gear manufacturers, “so I’ve got all kinds of fishing poles,” he said, while he watched Nikki cast off the Lake Ann pier. “But she won’t fish with anything besides her Barbie pole.”

Later, the Groskreutz family was seated on lawn chairs in downtown Chanhassen, waiting for the Fourth of July parade to start. Nikki missed winning fi rst place when a boy pulled in a trophy northern. There’s always next year.

All items listed under the Consent Agenda are considered to be routine by the city council and will be considered as one motion.

As experts in biomechanics, chiropractors are trained to treat stresses and injuries related to abnormal body motions. This expertise may be particularly beneficial to athletes and exercisers who develop problems related to repeated movements associated with their sports. For instance, research shows that, among male college pitchers, the mechanics of left-handed pitching leads to added stress in the humerus (the bone that runs from the shoulder to the elbow). Curiously, their right-handed counterparts of similar weight, age, and throwing speeds exert less stress on their humeri.

This stress reaches its peak in the pitching motion when the pitcher has the ball behind him and his arm is extended. Knowledge of this potential problem may help lefty pitchers avert injury.

We only accept new patients that we sincerely believe we can help.

Let us help you live your life to the fullest…balanced and welladjusted. We’re located at 7975 Stone Creek Dr., Suite 20, where we offer professional chiropractic and acupuncture care for the entire family. Periodic spinal exams and adjustments should be part of every family’s health routine. The body talks to us about its needs—we can teach you how to listen.

night, capping off a weekend that brought more spectators and participants than ever into the city.

“We are very pleased with another great turn out at this community event,” said John Stutzman, recreation supervisor for the city of Chanhassen.

“We may be the largest celebration in the Twin Cities,” said Todd Hoffman, the city’s director of parks and recreation.

What’s more, it was a safe three-day celebration. Chanhassen’s acting fi re chief, Ed Coppersmith reported on Tuesday morning the fire department had a “totally uneventful” weekend.

“There were no major emergencies,” he said resolutely.

Stutzman said the number of fireworks observers was about the same as last year, but additional people came into town for the parade (up to 25,000 spectators), the July 3rd street dance, Taste of Chanhassen and carnival (up to 15,000 people), and a new event, family night at the carnival, which was held on July 2.

Hoffman said vendors who worked at various times during the three days of events experienced record sales, beginning at the Farmer’s Market on Saturday and continuing through the street dance on Sunday. He even said concessions at Lake Ann sold out of ice cream bars on Saturday, the first time this has ever happened.

P.S. The stress that left-landed pitchers endure on the humerus may be so powerful that it can lead to fracture.

AMATEUR BASEBALL

Jilted Red Birds have some fun

BY TIM MCGOVERN tmcgovern@swpub.com

A baseball team needs at least one thing – hitting, pitching, defense – to go right to win a ballgame.

But most of all, a team needs an opponent.

The Chanhassen Red Birds amateur baseball team lacked just that as it prepared for one of its signature dates of the summer, July 4.

More than 400 fans were ready to enjoy the Red Birds taking on the New Ulm Kaiserhoff squad, but only six players from the visiting team made the 1-hour drive.

With too few to take the field, the Red Birds pocketed a 9-0 forfeit victory.

Costly as it was to Chanhassen, which had to refund the entire admission, the Red Birds rolled out the fun.

The team split for a 5-inning exhibition game pitting the Reds, managed by Bobby Krzmarzick, against the Red Bird Whites, with Chris Reuvers at the helm.

The managers did not sit idly by, as Krzmarzick got a hit and Reuvers saw action at the plate and on the mound for the humorous and entertaining affair.

Interesting matchups included pitcher John Gulden delivering to his cousin, T.J. and Reuvers trading beanballs with Davis Butler. Butler even charged the mound after a high and tight Reuvers delivery for a laugh-fi lled bear hug.

Kaiserhoff assumedly had a full squad on Tuesday, as it downed Gaylord 3-1.

The Red Birds squared off against Prior Lake at home on Wednesday. Chanhassen visits Victoria, 7:30 p.m. tonight at Poppitz Field.

Chan hits the road Saturday for a 6 p.m. clash at Winthrop that was postponed by weather earlier this season.

Chaska’s Brad Hand has experienced a few things in his fi rst four starts of his majorleague pitching career for the Florida Marlins.

Now, Hand has underwent a quick hook.

Hand started Saturday’s game at Texas and was staked to a 5-0 lead, thanks to a firstinning grand slam.

Texas could not score in its first two innings against Hand, but soon flexed its muscle. Ian Kinsler and Josh Hamilton slugged homers off Hand in the third inning.

Hand issued a one-out walk in the fourth inning to Rangers catcher Yorvit Torrealba, and Marlins manager Jack McKeon made a call to the bullpen.

Steve Cishek relieved Hand

ALL-STAR GAME Casey Malmgren, John Gulden and Justin Thompson will represent the Red Birds in the River Valley League vs.

Dakota-Rice Scott League AllStar Game, set for Friday at Union Hill.

Gulden will participate in the Home Run Derby at 7 p.m., and the game starts at 8 p.m.

Malmgren pinched Chanhassen past St. Peter 2-1 with a complete-game four-hitter on June 29, and drove in the winning run, to boot.

Thompson drew a walk to force in T.J. Gulden in the fi rst inning, Nate Swenson doubled in the seventh inning, scooted to third on a Tony Marengo hit, and scored on a Malmgren groundout.

Chanhassen Mayor Tom Furlong threw out the first pitch on a festive evening that honored city employees.

and threw the next 2.1 innings and nailed down his first career victory.

Hand’s shortened line read: four hits, two Brad earned runs, Hand no strikeouts, three walks in over 3.1 innings.

Further parsing the performance revealed 72 pitches, including 35 strikes.

Hand is now 0-3 over four starts, and is scheduled to throw again tonight (Thursday) against Houston at Sun Life Stadium in Miami.

Going against Hand is lefty J.A. Happ, who is 3-10 on the season.

Justin Johnson and Cory Poppitz had three hits apiece in the dozen-knock attack, and Erik Duzan came through with a two-run double in the seventh inning for the fi nal runs.

Cory Glieden, Tony Lane and Johnson each scored two runs, with Adam Happ and Greg Lane scoring one apiece.

Tony Lane, Greg Lane, Josh Korth, Tyler Polster, Happ and Greg Lane all had hits in the victory.

Cub lefty Andy Dauwalter tossed the fi nal two innings to complete the shutout, the third of the Brewers this season.

Chaska broke its July layoff on Wednesday with a home game against the St. Paul Capitals.

The Cubs then line up seven games over nine days starting with a Section 3B matchup with Victoria, 7:30 p.m. on Friday night at Poppitz Field.

victoria TOWN SQUARE Bosom buddies Bonding in the fight against an all too common enemy

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

“Cancer affects everybody,” said Kathryn Paradise. Paradise is a co-owner of Salon Spatoria in Victoria, which is hosting a fundraiser this Sunday at the salon. “It hits close to home. We’re doing a fundraiser because two of our stylists’ moms were diagnosed with breast cancer.”

Being diagnosed with breast cancer is not only frightening but overwhelming.

With all the choices women have today about treatment, surgery, reconstructive surger y, prophylactic mastectomies, and more, it can be bewildering.

So it’s good to have someone like Barbara Kayati on the other end of the telephone or across the table at the coffee shop.

That’s what Rayetta Rydquist found. Though both live in Chanhassen, they didn’t know each other until cancer, and their daughters, both stylists at the Victoria salon, brought them together.

Kayati, 52, was diagnosed in January 2008. Rydquist was diagnosed last October.

Kayati, a longtime Chanhassen resident, started annual mammogram screenings once she turned 40. Results were always negative. That included her mammogram in 2007. She was good to go for another year.

Or so she thought.

“My lump was not discovered on the mammogram I had,” Kayati said. “[The tumor] was never picked up. But I had symptoms—a discharge from my nipple. I called my doctor who thought it might be a blocked milk duct. Thankfully, she didn’t brush me off. She took it seriously even though she didn’t think it was a cancer.”

Additional tests revealed a 2.2 centimeter lump, and the cancer was Stage 2.

“My initial reaction was shock, then anger,” Kayati said. “I did everything right.

I learned that 90 percent of tumors are routinely picked up with mammograms. But I’m one of the 10 percent whose cancer is not.”

Kayati chose a lumpectomy, radiation and reconstructive surgery. She also gets a breast MRI twice a year, followed by a mammogram.

“Because of my situation, I advocate, ‘Pay attention and listen to your body.’ Had I ignored the symptoms, I may not have been so lucky.

“I was very fortunate I had a physician who felt it was urgent enough for me to come in,” Kayati said. “I’ve heard so many situations where it’s been brushed off. The doctor says, ‘we’ll check it again in six months, or next year.’ It makes a huge difference to catch it early.”

Awesome bathroom upgrades for less than $200

A

beautiful bathroom can be uplifting on many levels: it improves your home’s resale value and provides you with a welcoming environment in one of the mostused rooms of your house. If your bathroom has become the room in the house you least want to visit, it may be time to consider some cost-effective upgrades.

A mid-range bathroom remodel can cost, on average, around $16,000 (and return 64 percent of that cost at the time of resale), according to Remodeling Magazine’s 2011 Cost vs. Value Report. You don’t have to spend thousands, however, to give your bathroom a fresh look. Here are some high-impact, awesome upgrades that you can accomplish for less than $200 each:

Work those walls

Paint is still the cheapest, easiest way to freshen a room’s look and that’s true even in the bathroom. While painting a bath can be a bit more complicated than other rooms because of obstructions like mirrors, showers and tubs, it’s still a project well within the abilities of most do-it-yourself types. Good paint can be had for as little as $25, and most bathrooms will only need a gallon or two.

Once you’ve repainted, consider adding a wallpaper mural. You’ve probably always thought adding wallpaper in a bath was risky, given the room’s usual humidity. But modern wallpaper options, like SmartStick by MuralsYourWay. com, can easily hold up to bathroom conditions.

A patented adhesive allows you to easily place the material on nearly any surface—walls, windows, that architectural niche above your bathtub— pull it down, reposition it, and even move the moisture resistant mural to a different wall. You can even customize with your own wall photo by using your own original photography. Submit your photo through the website and the company creates a custom mural using your artwork.

Lighten up

Lighting is another low-cost way to renovate a bathroom. If your bathroom sports a utilitarian overhead fi xture, or a dressing-room-style light bar above the mirror, you can create a whole new look for the room by replacing those lights with one—or more—contemporary styles.

Because our bathrooms serve several functions, bathroom lighting should be flexible too. Design pros often place more than one light source in bathrooms, even if the room is relatively small.

Adding a couple of wall sconces in addition to a main light source costs little but allows you to lower lighting in the bathroom when you’re in the mood for relaxation. And a strong, overhead light source provides practical illumination for putting on make-up or shaving for example. It’s easy to find cost-effective lighting options at your local home improvement store.

Little things mean a lot

You can also make several small changes in a bath that will have a big impact, from swapping out cabinet hardware to replacing an existing straight shower rod with a curved one. Depending on which projects you choose, you could accomplish several for less than $200 total.

Installing a new showerhead or hand-held showerhead.

Other small but mighty steps include:

Choosing coordinating bath accessories such as a cup and toothbrush holder.

Replacing dated faucets.

Swapping the old toilet seat for a new one.

Replacing accessory hardware like towel bars and robe hooks with newer, matching ones.

Adding new towels and bath mats.

When it comes to upgrading the bathroom, virtually any improvement has value, both in terms of enjoyment and resale. Fortunately, value doesn’t have to come at a high cost when you make simple, cost-effective improvements.

Don’t miss the Lamont Cranston Blues Band.

ultiple Grammy Aw a r d - w i n n i n g musician Buddy Guy will headline the second annual Lakefront Jazz and Blues Festival, a day-long familyfriendly event featuring jazz and blues artists at Lakefront Park in Prior Lake on Saturday, July 16.

The event was created by the Prior Lake Rotary, and is presented

by Mystic Lake Casino Hotel and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community which donated $50,000 to support the event. The SMSC also donated $50,000 to present the first Lakefront Jazz and Blues Festival in 2010.

“We are absolutely honored to have Buddy Guy headlining this year’s festival,” said Shaun Naya, event and fundraising co-chair for the Prior Lake Rotary. “He is an extraordinarily talented musician that will highlight an amazing day of jazz and blues music.”

George “Buddy” Guy has a colossal musical resume and hardearned accolades including being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He’s a chief guitar influence to rock titans like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, and has received six Grammy Awards, the Billboard Magazine Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement the Presidential National Medal of Arts and 23 W.C. Handy Blues Awards—the most of any artist.

In addition to Guy, other performers scheduled to entertain festival guests include: Quinn Sullivan, a 12-year-old guitar prodigy who began playing the guitar when he was three.

Sullivan caught the attention of Ellen DeGeneres in 2006 and was personally invited by Buddy Guy

to join him on tour in 2011. His new record Cyclone explores many styles ranging from scorching blues and rock ’n’ roll, to pop-oriented ballads, all while showcasing his incredible guitar skills.

Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real brings their mix of blues and Southern-folk-rock talents to the festival this year, promising to stay true to their musical roots. Nelson honed his singing and songwriting skills growing up on the road with his famous father. The band has toured with everyone from B.B. King and Dave Matthews Band to Blues Traveler and Creedence Clearwater Revisited.

Headed by Pat “Lamont” Hayes, The Lamont Cranston Blues Band will feature Bruce McCabe as a special guest. From clubs, concert halls and festivals, to auditoriums and stadiums, the band has shared the stage with many blues legends, including Muddy Waters, Charlie Musselwhite, The Blues Brothers and Bonnie Raitt.

A recent contestant on NBC’s “The Voice,” Minnesota musical artist Tim Mahoney was influenced

by R.E.M., U2 and Sam Cooke. A mainstay in the Twin Cities music scene for over 10 years and Prior Lake native, Mahoney’s raspy voice and bittersweet lyrics are still winning people over.

Contemporary guitarist and vocalist Steve Oliver brings his multi-genre music covering world, contemporary, soul and pop to the festival. Recently nominated as International Instrumentalist of the Year for 2010 by the Wave Awards, Oliver has phenomenal capabilities of incorporating global music styles with a mix of pop/rock/ soul and contemporary, bringing a fresh, chart-topping sound as an unparalleled guitarist and signature vocalist.

Mexican-American saxophonist/singer Jessy J is already a jazz sensation with her sizzling mix of hot beats, Latin and samba rhythms and instantly captivating melodies. The 31-yearold has received high accolades, including Radio and Records “Debut Artist of The Year,” and contemporary jazz song of the year

by R&R and Billboard for the title track of her debut album, Tequila Moon.

Last year’s event attracted more than 14,000 people to Lakefront Park and this year again will include “Lil’ Louie’s Music Camp” – a special area just for kids with free activities like painting, jazz dance, crafts and musical games – as well as a variety of food and beverage vendors, and an artisans shopping area.

“We look forward to offering a great day of music and are excited to once again bring a strong lineup of musicians and family entertainment to this year’s festival,” said Event Co-Chair Dave Card. “From the very beginning, it was our goal to create a family-friendly musical event while showcasing our beautiful city, and raising money to continue the philanthropic vision of the Prior Lake Rotary.”

Mystic Lake Casino Hotel is also offering a Lakefront Jazz and Blues Festival hotel package for visitors. The $129 special includes a premier, double occupancy guestroom, a $20 food & beverage coupon, a Play 10/Get 10 coupon, 20 percent off a gift shop purchase, free valet parking, free access to Dakotah! Sport and Fitness and complimentary transportation to and from Lakefront Park on Saturday.

PERSCHMANN CHANHASSEN LIBRARIAN

Chaska artist Sara Hanlon creates art work from unusual materials. She will be exhibiting her works at the Chanhassen Library through the month of July.

A graduate of MCAD, Sara has enjoyed more than four decades as a studio artist with recognition, awards, exhibitions, and sales with artworks in private and corporate collections across the U.S. and abroad. Sara is owner and resident artist of Mill House Gallery & Gifts in Chaska’s historic downtown.

Spending a life time of development, focusing on fundamentals of what makes art “good,” her art works have evolved well beyond the mainstream.

Well-versed in several different mediums, comfortable depicting traditional imagery, her “serious” works have been emerging into the realm of surreal and abstract since the late 1980s.

The medium is acrylics partnered with polymers. She adds manipulated plastics (garbage) with a new defi nition of “art supplies” with years of experimental trials behind her now to control what plastics can be made to do. The “garbage” can no longer be defi ned as “found objects” as they are re-formed into a “medium of construction.”

Sara’s works are three-dimensional with layered paint applications to reveal depth and textures.

Sara says, “Good art has to say something. It is my joy to seclude myself in my studio to study the humanities, to learn mankind’s greatness and failings … then to make art.

“I am not young and have lived a long enough li fe to have experienced much and obser ved much. My works are often commentary on our American culture. I am inspired by my own experiences and observations.

“I am also an ‘arm chair academic’ due to my early years in public school when teachers taught how us to learn and then never stop learning. I do get into a rather large variety of topics that many people consider dull or boring … I study the humanities.

“The first art teacher to make a pivotal impression on me was John Grengs [with the]

REVIEWS “How I ended this summer.”

This DVD was a winner for Best Actor & Best Cinematography in the 2010 Berlin International Film Festival.

On a beautiful but barren island in the Arctic Circle, two Russian scientists work at a small meteorological station.

Their work is repetitive and boring, seemingly meaningless, taking readings on a variety of strange equipment, and reading numbers into a radio to their base at intervals.

Young and inexperienced Pavel is left in charge once when older, experienced Sergei is off fishing. He misses one of

“Skewed” is one of the pieces by Chaska artist Sara Hanlon on display though the month of July at the Chanhassen Library. Hanlon explains: “My art uses garbage, mostly plastics though I include many other things being thrown away. I have been running experimental trials for several years to learn what plastics can be made to do, altering them into ‘a medium of construction,’ an ‘art supply’ and generally unrecognizable to their original form.”

his scheduled readings and is off kilter when he gets a tragic message for Sergei – his wife and young son have been seriously injured.

The base keeps asking him how Sergei is taking t he news, but Pavel is afraid to tell him. He keeps Sergei f rom t a l ki n g to t he base whenever he can, until the news has to come out.

The base is sending for Sergei and Pavel hiked to fi nd him at a remote bay. The relationship between the two men has deteriorated and Pavel is afraid of Sergei, and f lees into the desolate wilderness.

“Started early, took my dog,” by Kate Atkinson The author of the Jackson Brodie mysteries has a new one out, following “Case Histories,” “One good Turn,” and “When will there be good news.”

Jackson Brodie is ex-military, retired from the police, now a semi-reti red P.I. I n “Started early,” he fi nds (saves really) a new dog while looking for a woman’s past.

Hope McMasters lives in

New Zealand, was adopted by parents in Leeds, and was told her parents died in a car crash.

Shortly after her adoption, her new parents moved to New Zealand. She has hired Jackson to fi nd out about her birth family, but he is coming up empty.

Hope was told her parent’s names, but Brodie fi nds they never existed. Brodie is driving all over Yorkshire trying to fi nd answers, accompanied by his new dog.

The initial social worker seems to have disappeared, le av i n g b eh i n d e n e mp t y fi le with a photo and a name scrawled on the cover. The name is of a policewoman who seems to have disappeared as well.

When he goes to Whitby to interview a woman who wrote about a murder where a toddler was found locked with a body for weeks, he thinks he may have a lead – until he fi nds out the child was a little boy. He is shadowed by a gray car, a man who has put a tracking device on his dog; and a couple of thugs. Will he ever stumble on the truth that so many people seem anxious to keep secret?

THE

While fluoridated drinking water has helped ensure that people under age 50 have an excellent chance of keeping all their teeth, older individuals may not be so fortunate. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that one-quarter of American adults over the age of 65 have lost all their teeth; the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research indicates that 58% of Americans over age 50 have fewer than 21 of the normal 32 teeth. Missing teeth lead to poor nutrition as well as a possible collapse of the vertical dimension of the lower face. To avert these potential problems, dental implants provide the best functioning, and most natural-looking, replacements.

If you have any questions about your chances for replacing lost teeth through the latest techniques call us at 952.934.3383. Our recommendations for dental treatment are always in the best interest of the patient. We can provide you with implants, dentures, bridges and crowns, as well as general dental treatment for the entire family. We want you to look and feel your best. For a happy, healthy, and good-looking smile, we urge you to have a checkup soon. We’re located at 480 West 78th Street, Suite 116, Chanhassen. We provide modern dentistry in an enthusiastic, friendly and inviting environment.

P.S. Dental implants are rooted in the jawbone, which prevents the bone resorption that causes the bone underlying lost teeth to shrink.

Todd Gerhardt, City Clerk/ Manager (Published in the Chanhassen Villager on Thursday, July 7, 2011; No. 4526) CITY OF CHANHASSEN CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA ORDINANCE NO. 525 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 20 OF THE CHANHASSEN CITY CODE, THE CITY’S ZONING ORDINANCE, CONCERNING VARIANCES THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHANHASSEN ORDAINS: SECTION 1. Section 20-58 of the Chanhassen City Code is amended to provide as follows: General conditions for granting. A variance may be granted by the board of appeals and adjustments or city council only if all of the following criteria are met: (1) Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this Chapter and when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan. That the literal enforcement of this chapter would cause undue hardship. For purposes of the definition of undue hardship, reasonable use includes a use made by a majority of comparable property within 500 feet of it. The intent of this provision is not to allow a proliferation of variances, but to recognize that in developed neighborhoods preexisting standards exist. Variances that blend with these preexisting standards without departing downward from them meet these criteria.

(2) When there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. “Practical difficulties,” as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by this Chapter.

Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. That the conditions upon which a petition for a variance is based are not applicable, generally, to other property within the same zoning classification.

(3) That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone a desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel of land.

(4) The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. That the alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self-created hardship.

(5) The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel of land is located.

(6) Va r i a n c e s s h a l l b e g ranted for earth sheltered construction as defined in Minnesota Statutes Section 216C.06, subdivision 14, when in harmony with this Chapter. That the proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or decrease visibility or site distances, or increases the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood.

SECTION 2. This ordinance shall be effective immediately upon its passage and publication.

PASSED AND ADOPTED this 27th day of June, 2011, by the City Council of the City of Chanhassen, Minnesota.

Three Qs

Sarkis Zenobian Recent Chanhassen High School graduate Sarkis Zenobian, 17, has a full summer. His day begins with a two-hour training workout on Bryant Lake with the Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club. Then he’s off to his summer job landscaping for a Deer Run resident. Currently, they’re getting her garden into tip top shape for the upcoming Deer Run Garden Crawl in Victoria. It’s grueling work, but in many ways, less grueling than how he spent last summer when he applied for his R.O.T.C. scholarship—hours spent daily, filling out countless forms, undergoing one on one interviews with military officials, passing physical fitness tests, in addition to having a nearly perfect grade point average. All A’s except for a B in French.

But the nose to the grindstone approach worked, and he received a $180,000 Navy R.O.T.C. scholarship.

He will head to the University of Wisconsin-Madison in August. He plans to major in mechanical engineering, followed by a career in the U.S. Marines.

Although he’s just 17, he knows himself well enough that “I’m not a settle down guy,” Sarkis said. “I like adventure. Nothing where I’m sitting behind a desk all day,” Sarkis said.

He always likes the discipline that comes with a military career. In a way, it mirrors his other passion, competitive rowing.

After spending his younger years rock climbing, he was searching for a new sport after his climbing buddy went off to college. He tried out for the high school diving team. “It was not my thing,” he recalled.

Then his mother Helen Cameron, who is English, suggested competitive rowing. Members of family had some success with it. “One of your relative rowed for an Olympic team years ago,” she told him.

Sarkis checked out the Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club.

“I was hooked,” he said. That was three or four years ago, and today, he is the captain of the senior 8 team. The TCYRC is a relatively new team. After initially starting with 13 members, “now we’re more than a 100 strong,” Sarkis said. “It’s the best thing that I’ve done. It instantly clicked for me.”

Though rowing season appears to be seasonal, don’t be fooled. It’s actually a year-round sport.

“When you’re not rowing, you’re working on conditioning,” Sarkis said.

For someone like Sarkis, at 5 ft., 7 in. tall, he has to work extra hard.

“Usually rowers are tall— 6 ft., 5 in., and have really long arms,” Sarkis said. “But I love the discipline and being part of a team. There’s eight in a boat, and the ninth is the coxswain. The slightest error makes a huge impact so team work is really important. You’ve really got to trust your teammates.”

Sounds like the military.

“That’s right,” Sarkis said. “I’ve been told that the hardest sports [for training and discipline] are wrestling, swimming, and rowing. The only thing harder is the military.”

Q: What’s been your most memorable rowing experience to date?

A: You live for regattas. We just did our second Midwest Regional Championships in Cincinatti, Ohio.

We competed in the boys varsity 8, and me and my friend Chris, we’re not tall, but we pull like the tall guys.

We got through the petite finals and qualified for the giant finals. Just the fact we made it to giant finals, being only a three and a half year old team, was amazing. There were six boats in the race and me and Chris have never pulled so hard. We came in fi fth out of six, but it was amazing. We just went for it.

Q: What’s the mindset of a competitive rower?

A: It’s a small group of people and we’re insane. For the most part, we’re normal, but then you get on the water…when you see little kids come in as eighth graders, then you see them two years later, and they’re tough.

Q: Why did you pick the University of Wisconsin?

A: It’s one of the top mechanical engineering programs in the country.

And, they have a Division 1 rowing team. I’d like to try to make the freshman team. I saw them at the Chicago Sprints last year, and they’re monsters. Most teams are qualifying with times of 6 minutes, 30 seconds. They’re touching 5 minutes.

that you love them.”

Vetera n orga ni zations have helped him along the way. A St. Paul VFW member gave Mullins a ride to Chaska after he was told there was no way to walk between the two cities. He recently picked up a replacement Captain America costume at Halloween Express in St. Paul, purchased by a VFW in Palestine, Texas.

He carries a duffel bag weighing up to 70 pounds over his back, including a sleeping bag.

As he walks, Mullens listens to an iPod he found on side of the road containing 3,000 songs. Although, he noted, he only can listen to about 30 percent of the music – bypassing the Brittney Spears and Hannah Montana songs for the Conway Twitty and Travis Tritt.

llen Mullins walked through Chaska last Thursday, on his journey to visit 48 state capitols – dressed as comic book hero Captain America.

“I wear it 24-7. Snow, rain, all year long,” said Mullens on a hot and muggy afternoon, as he rolled a cigarette and took a break from his long journey. His plastic shield, duffel bag, and U.S. fl ag (which he also uses as a walking staff) rested nearby.

Mullens, in his late 20s, has already worn out nine pairs of shoes walking to 34 state Capitols.

He had just come from St. Paul, after walking up from Des Moines.

He’s now en route to Bismarck, via NOT A FAN Highway 212.

He said the bad side of his journey is giving up on having a family. However, he said, at the end of his walking, he’ll have “one hell of a story to tell and one hell of a job reference.”

months and years.

And through it all, I kept thinking that if everyone involved in the discussions and decisions had Toastmasters and Dream Coaching experience, they’d be able to resolve their differences and overcome the obstacles that are keeping them from accomplishing what they set out to do. Not only to balance budgets and avoid government shutdowns, but to work more effectively, efficiently, and productively, and to provide an environment where all of us can live and work in freedom, peace, and prosperity.

Freedom, peace, and prosperity.

Those words almost seem quaint right now, don’t they? Like a Norman Rockwell painting. But they may also seem ironic and sarcastic, considering the state of things today.

Still, they’re words that were worth fighting for when our country was founded, and they’re words worth working toward today. And I think we’d have a much better chance of reaching them if everyone – and by

that I mean the people in St. Paul and Washington, and also the ones sitting around our own kitchen tables – would add two other words to the mix: respect and responsibility. Respect for others and for their hopes, ideas and beliefs, and responsibility for our own words and actions and for the consequences they bring and the effects they have on others.

If you don’t think it’s possible to fi nd a place where people live and act with respect and responsibility, where they listen attentively to each other, communicate clearly, lead confidently, and achieve their own goals while helping and supporting others who are working toward their own, just let me know. There’s a Toastmasters club I’d like to invite you to. And a Dream Coach I’d love for you to meet.
