ne of Chaska’s long-vacant blocks is getting an occupant at last.

Aeon Development is now ready to move forward with plans to construct a senior housing complex at the southeast corner of Highway 41 and First Street.

Last week, Chaska learned that the nonprofit developer had received $ 8.5 million in funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Those dollars, combined with $ 900,000 in previous grants

from t he Sma l l Cities P rog ra m and Met Council’s Liveable Communities Program, will help Aeon break ground on the long-delayed project.

“We’re clearly very pleased about it,” said Chaska City Administrator Matt Podhradsky. “This is a key redevelopment site and an entrance into our community.”

Construction on The Landing is slated to begin next summer and should take a year to 18 months to complete. When fi nished, the fourstory complex will feature 54 senior rental units, a first f loor parking garage and a courtyard.

Just like the musicals you used to know Local theater troupe performs ‘White Christmas’

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

Growing up, Nancy Yates liked law, but knew she didn’t want to be a lawyer. She enjoyed social work, too, but she didn’t want to be a social worker. She liked the idea of therapy, but didn’t want to be a therapist.

It’s a stage musical that’s been described as a “Christmas card come to life.”

If you’ve loved the 1954 movie musical, you’ll love the stage version of “Irving Berlin’s White Christmas,” presented by Chaska Valley Family Theatre for two weekends in December.

Besides being holiday seasonappropriate, the show’s storyline cuts particularly close to home.

Local chapters of Beyond the Yellow Ribbon have started recently to recognize and support military families throughout t he com mu nit y. T he music a l aids with these ef forts at the end of each show by recognizing veterans and asking for Yellow Ribbon donations.

“White Christmas” involves two vets who devise a way to honor their stoic former comma nder-i n- chief, G en. Hen r y Waverly. They learn his post-war enterprise, an inn, has come on hard times. And, they think they know how to turn things around.

A second storyline involves some matchmaking, a meddling housekeeper and a concerned granddaughter. The plot is presented among catchy songs, energetic dancing and comedy.

Rough year at city’s golf courses Long warm up resulted in fewer rounds

BY MOLLEE FRANCISCO mfrancisco@swpub.com

It was a tough season at Chaska’s two golf courses. An inclement spring and slow warm up wreaked havoc on play at Chaska Town Course and the Par 30.

“April and May were probably the worst April and Mays we’ve had in a long time,” Chaska City Administrator Matt Podhradsky told the council during a work session Monday night.

Podhradsky said the Town Course saw a fi fth of the rounds it saw in 2010 early in the 2011 season. As a result, the course fell $100,000 short of the projected revenue for the season.

“When we have such a bad start to the season, it is hard to make up,” wrote John Kellin, head golf professional at the Town Course, in an e-mail.

Despite a slow start, the course rebounded in the latter half of the season, thanks to better weather. Play wrapped up on Nov. 13.

All told, the course racked up 24,000 rounds – down from the average of 27,500. The Town Course generates two-thirds of its revenues (about $1.1 million) through greens fees.

Fifty-five percent of rounds are played by residents, 45 percent by non-residents. “That’s a challenge for operations,” said Podhradsky, noting the lower rates for residents.

A $1 increase in rounds for residents is proposed for 2012, bringing rates for 18 holes up to $38 on weekdays and $43 on weekends. No rate increases are proposed in 2012 for cart use which generates almost $250,000 annually.

Overall, the course is ex-

pected to bring in $1.645 million in 2012 (slightly lower than 2011) with $1.667 million in expenses.

“Operationa l ly, it’s sel fsufficient,” said Podhradsky.

“Capital improvements are a challenge.” Each year, the course depreciates by a half million dollars, he noted.

Next year, golfers will have new carts as the f leet is replaced at a cost of $190,000 (fi nanced through a loan from the electric fund). Other expenses over the next five years include drainage, club house and cart improvements at a cost of $32,000 annually. Some equipment purchases have been deferred a year to help balance the budget.

PAR 30 It was a similar story at Chaska’s Par 30 course were rounds were down 15 percent in 2011. Podhradsky said that was largely due to weather but noted that they have seen a slight downward trend over the last four years thanks to competition in the market.

The Par 30 sees 17,000 rounds per year, a number that is not expected to grow in the five-year forecast. The city is proposing to keep rates steady for 2012 at $11 for juniors and seniors and $13 for adults. Beyond 2012, a $0.25 increase for adults and $0.20 is expected for juniors/seniors each year from 2013 – 2016.

No m ajor ex p en s e s a r e pl a n ne d for 2 01 2 , but t he cou rse’s i r rigation system will get an overhaul in 2013 at a cost of $20,000. The city is also exploring its parking options to save the $12,000 it spends annually to lease space from the Goodman Group.

The Par 30 is expected to generate $186,000 in 2012 with $174,000 in expenses.

T he city is a lso looki ng to expa nd its recreationa l programming at the Par 30 by creating adult leagues to

CCC The Chaska Community Center is turning 20 with the needs to match its age.

“A lot of what’s in the community center has reached its useful life,” said Podhradsky.

A $4.3 million capital improvement plan has been proposed for the community center over the next decade. Among the needed improvements are major expenses, like the replacement of the pool and ice arena’s mechanical systems.

The pool will come fi rst with a four week closure next May at a cost of $300,000 to $400,000.

Then, in 2013, the ice arena will see its cooling system changed over to meet state regulations at a cost of $3.1 million.

Other improvements for the center over the next decade include work on the roof, carpet and locker rooms.

The capital improvement plan will be fi nanced through an additional $75,000 annual contribution from the electric fund, a 7 percent increase in membership fees (spread over two years), and a 7 percent increase in ice rates (spread over three years).

This year was the fi rst year t h at memb er sh ip r evenue topped the $1 million mark.

Fleet Farm will open for business in August 2012, providing 200 full-time jobs, Carver Mayor Greg Osterdyk reported.

Mayors take stock of their cities

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

Mayors of eastern Carver County cities updated SouthWest Metro Chamber of Commerce members at last Wednesday’s meeting.

Mayors Mary Hershberger Thun of Victoria, Mark Windschitl of Chaska, Tom Furlong of Ch a n h a ssen, a nd Greg Osterdyk of Carver provided overviews and insights on projects under way in their cities, and what’s ahead in 2012.

The reconstruction of Highway 5 begins a f ter Memo rial Day through Labor Day, extending from Highway 41 to just past the bridge in the

city of Victoria. Businesses in downtown Victoria hope to offset the major disruption and six-week closure with publicity and promotions, and Mayor Hershberger Thun urged adjacent communities to get out the word that Victoria will be open for business, no matter what. Businesses in downtown Victoria have nearly doubled since 20 07, Hershberger Thun said, and while there will be short-term pain during reconstruction, the long-term benefits will be worthwhile.

Chaska is looking forward to welcoming the new Southwest Christian High School, currently under construction at the intersection of High-

way 212 and Bavaria Road, said Mayor Windschitl. The city is also looking at plans to revitalize downtown Chaska, improve transportation infrastructure, create balanced housing stock and pu rsue sustainable energy.

In addition to being one of the top 10 places to the live in the country, according to Money Magazine, Chanhassen Mayor Furlong reported that at least two businesses, Cub Foods and Haskell’s, are bucking the trend and expanding. He also pointed out that SouthWest Transit’s Chanhassen Transit Station will have a grand opening on Friday, Dec. 9, and be open for services Monday, Dec. 12.

Furlong also encouraged city residents to patronize Victoria businesses during next summer’s road reconstruction.

“If our cities work together, we can all rise up higher,” Furlong said. He also pointed out that the city of Chanhassen will have a number of Highway 101 road improvements ahead that could potentially include an improved Minnesota River crossing.

“It’s f looded three times in two years,” Furlong said.

“When MnDOT evaluated the options, we asked, ‘How can we raise this river crossing?’”

Mayor Osterdyk reported that Fleet Farm will open for business in August 2012, providing 200 full-time jobs.

Two new restaurants for downtown Mexican and BBQ fare on the menus

verado, heading northbound on Audubon Road.

Zachery Utecht, 19, of Victoria, was driving the Silverado with passengers Jason Bren, 19, of Victoria and Mallary Whittaker, 20, of Chaska. The three were all treated for nonlife threatening injuries at the Two Twelve Medical Center in Chaska.

Rios was wearing a seatbelt and alcohol was detected in his system. None of the three occupants of the Silverado were wearing seatbelts, and no alcohol was detected in their system.

Mayor Mark Windschitl laid out the city of Chaska’s focus in 2012 — downtown revitalization, transportation infrastructure, balanced housing and sustainable energy.

After a long dry spell, two new restaurants are slated to open downtown in the near future. Patron Mexican Restaurant will take over at the northwest corner of Chestnut and Second streets while Pistol Pete’s will occupy the former Mix location at the southeast corner of Chestnut and Third streets.

Mayor Mark Windschitl made the announcement about Pistol Pete’s at Monday night’s Chaska City Council meeting.

It was encouraging news for

the council that has made reinvigorating downtown Chaska a top priority.

Pistol Pete’s will serve barbeque style food and offer up blues music. The owners have a similar restaurant called Jake & Elwoods BBQ Joint in Anoka. They are still in the process of fi nishing the deal at Third Street, but Windschitl indicated that they were expecting to close on the building by the end of the year.

At Second Street the windows are papered as renovat ion s t a ke pl ac e i n side for Pat ron. Outside, t he vestiges of La Quebrada and Mi Casa are slowly disap pearing. Patron will be the t hi rd Mexic a n rest au ra nt in recent history to give the location a try.

No opening date has been set for either restaurant.

GUEST COMMENTARY

What is so great about Thanksgiving?

BY SARA ROBERTS

My 11-year-old daughter and I were discussing our favorite holiday’s when I shocked her by proclaiming Thanksgiving as one of mine.

“What is so great about Thanksgiving?” she asked.

I thought about it from her perspective. There are no presents, no elaborate ceremonies, no costumes, no fireworks – so what was so great about Thanksgiving?

I realized that the absence of pomp and circumstance was exactly what I loved about Thanksgiving. It is the coziness of a warm fireplace, a decadent meal, football on the TV in the background, and the excitement of the first snowfall. It is a feeling of tradition, gathering with family, and most of all, the accumulation of memories.

I told my daughter about the time my aunt dropped the entire turkey on the floor, and the horror turned into a three-generational giggling fit in the kitchen.

I told her about the time my brother and I went sledding with my cousins and he snagged his jacket on the top of a high fence we were climbing and got stuck.

I told her that she met most of her extended family at Thanksgiving 11 years ago when she was 2 weeks old and how magical it was to have the first grandchild adding to our tradition.

No, Thanksgiving was not going to be any 11-year-olds favorite holiday. But maybe, if I do my job right, that same 11-year-old will cherish the holiday as much as I do in 30 years.

Sara Roberts is a Victoria resident.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR UNIONS

Statements regarding Fleet are false, absurd This weekend, despite the snowy mess, I had a family gathering in Lakeville, which is home to one of the Mills Fleet Farm stores.

I spoke with a manager at the store, in hopes of obtaining a copy of the leaf let that the union was dispensing to Mills customers. Unfortunately, they didn’t keep any, so I couldn’t verify the exact content of the leaflet, but it certainly sounds as though it wasn’t very nice to Mills, and seemed to be geared toward harming its business.

I fi nd it disappointing that local leaders jumped to the union’s conclusions on the labor issue at the Carver Fleet Farm construction site. The issue has recently been discussed in the Star Tribune, as well as our beloved Chaska Herald.

As the facts come to light, it’s clear the Mills organization did nothing wrong, yet even one of our county officials seems to side with the union on the matter of a few temporary workers hired by a subcontractor at the Mills site. This is heck of way to start a relationship with a strong new commerce partner for our region.

I understand Commissioner Randy Maluchnik’s desire to have as many local workers as possible to be employed on this project, but I think he needs go further and chastise the union as well. Their actions were completely absurd, and included of all things a giant blow up rat at the site, because a few non-union temps were used.

The statements that Mills exploited workers at this site, is false, and irresponsible. They then go to claim the job site isn’t as safe as it would be with union workers, which is also patently absurd.

The union’s actions in this matter

were as Mills stated, completely blown out of proportion, and even though 90 percent of the jobs at the site were union jobs, the labor union still felt the need to act in a ridiculous manner.

I would suggest these union “leaders” that their actions do more to harm union-based employment than enhance it.

My father was a member of this exact union, and I can guarantee he would be ashamed to say so if he were alive today, after the actions taken here. He was a fond patron of the Lakeville Mills Fleet farm, as I will be to ours when it’s completed, and I hope all of his former union brothers will be as well.

Childcare vote should be among all providers I am writing this letter to express concern over Gov. Dayton’s recent executive order calling for a union election among childcare providers.

If Gov. Dayton truly felt “The fairest way, and the American way, to settle this dispute is to have an election, where all the people directly affected will have an opportunity to vote,” then this vote should be held by all licensed family daycare providers in Minnesota and not a select group.

I have been a licensed family daycare provider in Carver County for 13 years and meet all the qualifications required to provide subsidized childcare. Since I do not have any families receiving childcare assistance through the county, I am not currently registered and I will be excluded from the unionization vote.

To qualify to have a voice in this unionization vote, I would have had to have been registered by Sept. 30 – well before this executive order was signed.

This vote not only affects cur-

rently registered providers, but those of us who in the future may provide subsidized childcare.

RED CROSS

Send a card to the troops Remember our military members and veterans during the holidays. The “Holiday Mail for Heroes” campaign, sponsored by the American Red Cross, is now underway in Carver County.

While this is the fi fth year that the American Red Cross has promoted this program in partnership with Pitney Bowes, this is the first year that Carver County has participated.

The Board of the Twin Cities Chapter is asking the community to sign one or more holiday cards with a brief message thanking a serviceperson for his or her services and wishing them well. It’s that easy. Or, if your group would like to make cards and sign them, that’s acceptable too – what a wonderful, memorable way to connect with others in a meaningful way.

If there are children at your Thanksgiving celebration or other gatherings, provide the tools for making cards, but please no glitter.

Envelopes are not necessary. Holiday cards are being accepted at the Carver County Libraries through Dec. 1.

The cards will be collected and then distributed by the American Red Cross to our nation’s active and deployed military, as well as to veterans at VA facilities.

Churches, businesses, families and organizations of any sort are welcome to participate. Let’s remember those who serve or served during the holidays!

Referendum was about the district

GUEST COMMENTARY

or insulted by the belief that this perception exists.

It has seemingly been hesitant to respond to this perception and cautious as how it addresses it. The district also needs to overcome the political concern of taking action or not taking an action based on what other communities might say. It is time to do the right thing, because it is the right thing to do regardless of the community involved.

It appears in our community that the trust and confidence in the district has eroded. I’m sure the community hopes that its leadership is proactively working with the district to address the question of how can we build or reestablish the trust-based relationships and partnerships with the district. This comes from the belief that our local education system is a cornerstone for the continued, quality development of our community. If we do not continue to invest in it, we will be doing a disservice to our kids and their futures and that affects all of us.

Does education in the U.S.

American Indians have created a treasure During the month of November, Native Americans in the United States are engaged in many activities to celebrate their heritage as part of Native American Heritage Month.

I encourage everyone to acknowledge this significant month and learn more about the values and traditions of those who were here first!

Every year, more and more people become interested in celebrating the traditions and values of other cultures.

This is the result of diversity education and in particular, “sur-culturation,” a consciousness for learning about other cultures.

There are many resources available for those who are interested in learning more about the Native American culture and the celebrations this month, including www. nativeamericanheritagemonth. gov. This site also has curriculum and ideas for teachers.

CONTRIBUTIONS Through their traditions, values and wisdom, Native Americans (or American Indians as some prefer to be called) have created an educational treasure for all of us. Their culture and influence can be seen all over the U.S. in many ways, including in the form of city, street and river names;

American roots, including Minnesota (from a Dakota word meaning “whitish or sky-tinted water”). We owe much to their rich culture and knowledge, more than people realize.

architecture and design; Indian burial mounds and other historical sites; their knowledge about the workings of nature; their spirituality and knowledge of alternative medicine.

They have also made a lot of contributions through art, including beadwork, word carvings, and turquoise and silver jewelry. They have also paved the way to respecting nature and ecology and made many agricultural contributions. If they hadn’t taught the early settlers their farming methods or shared with them their various food products, the settlers may have starved to death.

Many of the sports and outside activities we enjoy today, such as canoeing, tobogganing, and snowshoeing originated from Native Americans. Even many state names come from Native

Stereotyping is rooted in ignorance or the lack of awareness. People still stereotype others based on race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, age, religion, language, and other relative traits.

Just recently reality star and businesswoman Kris Jenner used the phrase “Indian giver,” in her answer to reporters’ questions about whether or not daughter Kim should give back her $2 million diamond engagement ring to husband Kris Humphries.

By using these words, Jenner gives us the opportunity to educate others about this phrase which is a racial slur to Native Americans in this country by intimating that all American Indians take their gifts back.

One popularly-accepted theory is that this phrase comes from early settlement times of Europeans in America, when Native Americans engaged in transactions with settlers, gave gifts that were actually intended to be used as a trade for goods and services, or at

least they expected a gift back of equal value.

When the Europeans took the gifts and gave nothing back to the Native Americans, they wanted their “gifts” back. Over time this evolved to have a negative meaning that Native Americans could not be trusted.

Hopefully Jenner has learned from the backlash to strike this phrase from her vocabulary and others now know not to use it.

Some examples of prejudice and stereotypes against Native Americans are listed below.

Please try to avoid them.

Native Americans are: Honored by sports-team mascots and logos Irresponsible and lazy Alcoholic Gamblers, after all, they own casinos.

Let’s put aside prejudices and instead, reach out, learn more, appreciate and celebrate the values, traditions, contributions and customs of our tribal people who are a significant part of American history and culture – as the Lakota say, “Mitakuye Oyasin: We Are All Related!”

Giving Cologne sisters a shout-out “Never forget that only dead fish always move with the stream,” were the words of Malcom Muggeridge, who professed to be an agnostic, atheist.

Ironically he was one of those “dead fish” for a long time, until Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta introduced to him to Jesus Christ. Just as Mother Teresa introduced Jesus Christ to Malcom, so too Malcom Muggeridge introduced Mother Teresa to the world’s stage.

On the one hand, Mother Teresa was the face, the ‘shining star,’ when it came to humility, on the other hand ‘the commercial in-chief,’ for her charitable work.

Through this she taught the world, humility is not about ‘hiding away in the dungeon,’ rather, hissing the name Jesus proudly from the rooftops. It is obvious in the words of St. Paul, “And whatever you do, in word and deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,” (Colossians 3:17).

Mother Teresa was not after glamour, yet did not shy away from being in the company of glamorous people like Princess Diana, if it would advance her

work for the poor. She was not looking for a Nobel Prize, yet willing to take it if it would expand her noble cause. She was not looking for pictures with leaders of nations; yet, she would, if it would leave a picturesque image of her charitable work to the poor, the leper and the homeless.

It has been proven true that sometimes silence is the loudest voice ever spoken.

This is true of the good Sisters from the Franciscan Clarist Convent: Sister Jancy and Sister Pranitha from St. Bernard School in Cologne.

They are not one to blow their own horn about the good things they do. They give their best

in educating children and, as Mother Teresa would say, “Give until it hurts.” These sisters have aligned themselves with the team of their good Pastor Father Martin Shallbetter and the entire St. Bernard Community, as Jesus on the cross welcomes everyone with His open, outstretched arms.

In the 21st century American church, where endowments, capital campaigns, business with banks, and planning big have become the norm, these Sisters stand out as a ‘sign of contradiction,’ that the theological principle of ‘providence,’ (all-wise, allloving God would provide) is still prevalent, still in business and not a thing of the past.

They remind us that Jesus’ prayer, ‘Give us this day our daily bread,’ is not a ‘tall tale,’ rather, a true tale, that brings food to our tables to this day.

Putting their trust in God, they took under their wing about 30 children who otherwise would not be able to attend Catholic School. This is a story told, not just to be admired from a distance, but to extend our helping hands, in whatever ways possible, by

all people of good-will.

They live the words Mother Teresa, “Intense love does not measure – it just gives.”

More than saying, they are ‘able to,’ they are ‘willing to’ help these children not from the abundance but from the ‘providence’ that they are deeply rooted in.

As Jesus would say in Matthew 10:27, “...what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.” May the good work of these sisters may transcend beyond Cologne, with the hope that some more will join the team that believes planning big is OK, however ‘providence is still prevalent’; ‘Give us this day our daily bread,’ is still part of the Christian vocabulary.

May Sister Alphonsa, the first person of Indian origin to be canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church, keep busy spending her heaven, helping her fellow sisters to do the good work in Cologne and beyond.

excited to be there, excited to be with others that are there and supportive of each other.

Their enthusiasm and pride for their school is real and sincere and that needs to be understood and supported.

They do not believe the view of a school of the haves and have-nots, and we should understand and respect their beliefs and their feelings.

The response must be to learn from our kids and then work together and build off of the genuine and real feelings of each of those students. The problem is that those students don’t vote.

At the same time, the district is accountable to the citizens of the district and they have spoken. Again, let us learn from this experience and be stronger because of what we have learned. We have the ability to do just that and from that experience, our education system will always be valued as that community cornerstone, as the community asset that it is and needs to be for our future.

For all that voted, and to the result delivered, it is a message. How we respond is important and will need to be closely watched. Let us hope it happens as a district-wide community of people looking to the future and agreeing together on the investments needed to compete and develop our kids and our communities, both today and for the long-term tomorrow.

And finally, we all have much to be thankful for. At this special time of the year, I hope you all have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!

need an overhaul? It does, but we have to work with the systems we have in place today and not lose ground. We cannot allow our community to fall further and further behind other communities in the preparation of our kids at all levels of skills and capability.

Leadership across the communities of the district was very silent on the discussion of the technology need in our school district.

That alone is a huge warning sign. If the right, trusting relationships and shared vision of the future of our communities and the role education plays in that future really existed, then we should be hearing from these leaders.

That obviously is not the case today.

It should be all of our expectation that we hear from the district and the community regarding their approach to working together and sharing a vision for the future. The assets of our education system are significant and there is much for which we should feel proud.

Our communities are also very strong, and again we have much to feel good about. If that is the case then we should be able to come together and ask how to address the concerns and perceptions that exist in our communities, and proactively provide the appropriate response. For at the end of the day it is about preparing our kids.

If you have ever gone into the high schools, then you will see that no matter the school, the kids are enjoying their experience, they are

Century Blvd.

The result of the recent District 112 technology referendum was interesting.

Although disappointing, the result was also understandable. The referendum, at the end, did not seem to be so much of a referendum on the need for technology, but rather a referendum on the support of the school district itself.

There should be some learning that goes on for everyone as they reflect on this result, because at the end of the day there are no winners in such an outcome.

The poor economy may have played a role – maybe a concern over a decision or management of the financials of the district, maybe the two high school questions and frustrations. Whatever it may be, the kids and their futures are the real issue to be concerned about.

If we are disadvantaged by our inability to leverage technology to do the best job possible in educating our kids, then we need to be concerned.

This is especially true when you see other school districts support school referendums.

Leaders in our district and our communities need to gather and understand the message from the communities and discuss the necessary response.

Obviously there are perceptions that exist regarding the high school of the haves and have-nots, and the school district needs to be much more proactive in addressing this real community concern. I believe the district will not allow this to ever occur, but it cannot feel entitled to community support

YATES continued from page 1

With plenty of hard work and a bit of luck, Yates found a career that incorporated all the things she loved into one job – victim witness coordinator. “It’s what you’d get if you smushed a lawyer and a social worker together,” she explained.

It’s a role Yates has been enjoying in the Carver County Attorney’s Office since she was hired 14 years ago.

“I love what I do,” she said.

“It’s a perfect fit for me.”

INTEGRAL Yates may not be the flashiest member of the county attorney’s office, but for those working their way through the court system, the married, mother of two is an integral member of the team.

“Ms. Yates is the unsung hero in the criminal justice system,” stated Carver County Attorney Mark Metz in an e-mail.

“Behind every successful trial prosecution is the outstanding behind-the-scenes work done by Ms. Yates,” wrote Michael Wentzell, chief deputy for the Carver County Attorney’s Office. “She coordinates the schedules of numerous witnesses to ensure an orderly presentation of the evidence by the State. This allows our prosecutors to focus their attention on the case presentation rather than these difficult logistical matters.”

Yates serves as the primar y point of contact for all victims of crime in the county – serving residents that have suffered everything from graffiti and busted mailboxes to domestic abuse and murder. “It’s my job to take them through the process,” she said.

Yates keeps in regular contact with victims and witnesses to let them know where their particular cases are at and what they can expect. She helps prepare witnesses to take the stand (such as reviewing appropriate courtroom

“For as much time as I’m in court, I’m on the phone,” she said.

NICHE Yates does it all with few complaints, because she believes she’s found her niche.

“My pa rents a lways stressed that I needed to do something that I’m passionate about,” she said.

It took some time, but eventually Yate found a job that both fulfi lled her and played to her strengths.

“I felt a strong pull to the legal profession,” she said.

Yates attended Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, graduating with her bachelor’s degree in political science in 1995. She went on to receive her paralegal certificate from the Minnesota Paralegal Institute in 1996. She then worked as a paralegal for a year before being hired at Carver County.

D u r i n g t h at t i me , s he also volunteered her time with domestic violence and sexual assault agencies and the Courage Center. It was through her volunteer experiences that she learned about an advocacy position within the court system. She found a volunteer job as a victim witness coordinator in her home county in Wisconsin and gave it a shot. It didn’t take long for her to realize she’d found her calling.

“I knew it was the perfect combination,” she said.

“Ms. Yates is the unsung hero in the criminal justice system.”

Mark Metz Carver County Attorney

Fourteen years later, Yates still fi nds great value in her job. And her coworkers at the county attorney’s office offer plenty of accolades for the work she does.

“Nancy Yates has dedicated her professional life to protecting and supporting victims’ rights,” said Metz. “Her level of experience, compassion, and dedication makes her one of the best victim witness coordinators in the State,

providing services to victims, witnesses, and their families throughout the criminal justice system.”

“The rapport she develops with these victims and witnesses makes the very difficult process of testifying in front of a jury a little less stressful,” said Wentzell.

“Ms. Yates understands better than anyone the level of courage it takes for victims of crimes to come forward, relive their tragedies, and testify against their perpetrators,” added Metz.

“My strengths are working with people and putting families at ease,” said Yates.

“It would be hard to do this job without crisis counseling.”

Yates’ gentle, caring de meanor and her desire to see justice serves is just as critical to her success as any formal training, though.

“I get emotionally invested,” she said. “I want to make this right.”

But that doesn’t mean she offers false promises. Yates tries to keep the expectations of the people she works with in check.

She prepares them as much for a successful case result as an unsuccessful one.

“We always build in some realism,” she said.

“Everyone that works with Ms. Yates recognizes how special she is, dedicating herself to making a positive influence in people’s lives,” said Metz.

“Carver County is fortunate to have such a truly inspirational person working collaboratively with the entire system to assist victims and witnesses through the process.

“Simply put, Nancy Yates makes our criminal justice system better, Metz said.

EDUCATION

More students leaving than entering district District 112 enrollment figures show that 234 students have open enrolled into District 112, while 740 students have open enrolled out of the district.

The great majority of local students are leaving for the Minnetonka and Eden Prairie school districts, which enroll a total of 651 District 112 students.

“One of our goals is to be a district of choice, so this is a clear reflection we can do better,” said District 112 School Board Member Tim Klein, of open enrollment.

Over all, total enrollment increased by 58 students between October 2010 and October 2011, continuing a trend of slow growth. That almost matches last year’s growth of 52 students.

At the high school level, the enrollment disparity continues to grow. As of Oct. 1, Chanhassen High School had 365 more students than Chaska High School, compared to 256 more in 2010. But

CALL TODAY TO GET ON OUR GUEST LIST

Fluoride is a natural occurring mineral in all water sources, including the oceans.

Research has found that fluoride is our best defense against tooth decay. Fluoridation of drinking water has been used in the United States for over 50 years. It has been credited with reducing tooth decay by 50-60% in the United States since World War II. Community water fluoridation adjusts the natural fluoride concentration of a community’s water supply to the level recommended for optimal dental health, approximately 1.0 ppm (parts per million). One ppm is the equivalent of 1 mg/L, or 1 inch in 16 miles. Most city water is fluoridated to the optimal amounts. However, well water, most bottled water, and filtered water through reverse osmosis usually do not leave enough fluoride in the water to be effective on the teeth. Whereas using a Brita or Pur filter on your tap water normally leaves the fluoride in tact, which is what I recommend over using bottled water unless it is supplemented with fluoride. Fluoride’s main effect occurs after the teeth have erupted through the gumline. In the mouth, fluoride minerals are absorbed into the teeth and saliva, strengthening the tooth enamel. If you do not get enough fluoride from drinking water, it can be supplemented with prescription-level fluoride toothpastes and fluoride rinses prescribed by your dentist. I recommend anyone who is susceptible to dental decay or “cavities” to consider using supplemental fluoride.

This includes children, the elderly, those with dry mouth from medications or cancer treatments and anyone with a diet high in sugar, including soda pop.

There are also fluoride chewable vitamins that can be prescribed for young children. Keep in mind too much of any mineral such as fluoride is not good either; so it is important that topical fluoride is never swallowed, but rather spit from the mouth and allowed to work topically on the teeth. Your dentist and dental hygienist can help you find the best options for your family. It is also important to keep all prescription fluorides out of the reach of children.

This is the breakdown of where District 112 students are open enrolling. If three or less students are attending a district, it is not listed.

80 of the students are enrolled in the Area Learning Program, which is completely housed in Chanhassen High School.

Since the construction of Chanhassen High School, district administration has indicated a di f ference of 250 students between the schools is the acceptable level.

District officials are waiting to see the results of a demographic study before making determination on open enrollment or transfers between its schools for next year.

Superintendent Jim Bauck expects a report on the demographic study in January, by Hazel Reinhardt Consulting Services. “The study will drill down to enrollment projections over the next five years by elementary, middle and high school attendance area,” said Bauck. “Right now, enrollment at schools on the west side of the district looks tight, but we want to see if predictions indicate that will continue before discussing how to address it.”

Good audit results for district

BY CHUCK FRIEDBAUER friedchu@yahoo.com

The school board approved 2012 fiscal year budget adjustments, which increase the projected 2012 fund balance by nearly $400,000.

Increases in revenues, totaling approximately $ 925,298, are due to a $40 increase in the general education formula compared to the original budget and federal program entitlements and carryovers. Expenditures have also increased, but only by approximately $525,840.

The District 112 plans to ask the school board for approval of

TECH LEVY The school board canvassed the votes of the technology levy referendum, with one error to be resolved.

The number of ballots delivered to the Chaska Middle School West precinct was 81 ballots higher than the total of those cast in the ballot box, or not used or spoiled. Voter receipts and tape information is accurate and match, said Superintendent Jim Bauck.

Carver County is investigating the reason for the difference. The referendum failed by 216 votes, as 51.8 percent of voters cast ballots against it.

The fi rm Larson Allen LLP gave District 112 an excellent report in its 2011 fiscal year audit.

“We have issued a ‘clean’ audit report, which is the best opinion we are able to give,” said Brady Hoffman, a CPA with Larson Allen.

District officials said the executive audit summary and management report will be posted under the school board tab on www.district112.org. No compliance issues were noted in the review of District 112 in regards to laws, regulations, contracts, grants or Minnesota statutes.

In addition, the report indicates the district has continued to do a commendable job of fi nancial planning and reacting to enrollment changes and limited new state funding. The school board will be asked to approve the fi nal audit report at its Dec. 8 meeting.

As such, a fenced yard (or invisible fence) is required so she can get her daily exercise. Belle is updated on vaccinations, tested negative for heart worm, has a microchip ID implant and is spayed.

Volunteers pack MannaPack Potato-W at the Feed My Starving Children site in Chanhassen.

Feed My Starving Children nourishes body and spirit

BY MANDI CHERICO

Six days a week, in a nondescript office park on the border of Chanhassen and Eden Prairie, volunteers of all ages, religious affi liations and backgrounds come together for a common purpose: packing nutritious meals for hungry kids around the world. These volunteers are joining Christian hunger relief organization Feed My Starving Children’s homegrown solution to world hunger. And they’re making a big difference in the lives of countless children.

Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) opened their third Minnesota site in Chanhassen at 18738 Lake Drive East in 2006. On the cusp of a recession, nation-wide volunteerism and nonprofit giving was at an all-time low. Yet Lisa Pederson, Chaska resident and FMSC Chanhassen site supervisor, saw faith-based community members pitching in right away to feed starving kids.

“St. Hubert’s Catholic Community [in Chanhassen] has volunteered from the beginning and now we have a group come in every Thursday to pack,” she said. “They’re wonderful.”

Students at private Christian school Chapel Hill Academy in Chanhassen have also been loyal volunteers.

“There was one time when we were desperate for volunteers,” said Pederson. “We called Chapel Hill and asked them to pack and they said, ‘Sure!’ We wouldn’t have been able to make that food shipment without them.”

C h a n h a s s en volu nt e er s made history being the fi rst to pack MannaPack Potato-D; the fi rst food formula in the world made specifically to restore the health of those with diarrhea.

The World Health Organization names diarrhea as the numberone killer of malnourished children in the developing world, as it claims 3.5 million young lives annually. After a successful clinical study in Zimbabwe, a former World Food Program official called the formula: “the most exciting product I’ve ever seen.”

Also volunteer-packed fi rst at Chan, MannaPack Potato-W is FMSC’s fi rst “baby food” formula. The soft formula meets nutritional standards of the World Health Organization for babies 7-12 months of age. It has already saved countless young lives, most recently in droughtstricken northern Kenya.

Due to a powder-like consistency, the potato formulas are more difficult to pack than FMSC’s original rice-based formula. But Lisa Pederson has seen volunteers roll up their sleeves and rise to the challenge.

“It’s been a lot of work,” said Pederson, “But, wow!

Just think about the impact of this food on the children who eat it.”

In addition to Chanhassen, FMSC has sites in Eagan and

“It’s been a lot of work. But, wow!

Just think about the impact of this food on the children who eat it.”

Lisa Pederson Coon Rapids (their national headquarters), two sites in Illinois, and one site in Arizona. They also do an average of four traveling MobilePack events per week throughout the United States.

FMSC ships their food to some of the most dangerous places in the world, yet after 25 years of shipments, 99.97 percent of the meals have gotten to their intended destinations.

They attribute this extraordinary track record to feeding children in the name of Jesus Christ. A fter each packing shift, volunteers are given the opportunity to join FMSC employees in praying a blessing of safety over the packed food boxes. It’s an FMSC tradition that sets them apart from other food aid organizations.

Like many of their volunteers, FMSC sees feeding kids as an opportunity to follow Christ’s example of compassion on the poor; in body and in spirit.

ABOUT FMSC Founded in 1987, Feed My Starving Children is a Christian hunger relief organization that distributes nutritionally complete meals in nearly 70 countries. The meals – just 24-cents each – are funded by donors and packed by volunteers. FMSC has maintained the highest four-star rating from Charity Navigator for seven consecutive years.

Taize Prayer invites contemplation through prayer, music, readings, and silence. The service is ecumenical, meant to create a quiet oasis from which to speak to God, and for God to speak to participants. and a pianist provide musical intervals, and accompany simple songs. Toward the end of the evening, participants take turns lighting candles near the front of the sanctuary, as part of their silent prayers.

Rodenz encourages people from local communities to attend, pointing out that it is for people of all faiths.

A PLACE OF PEACE Taize is a tiny village in France that has become a magnet for Christians on a spiritual pilgrimage. In 1940, a Swiss monk named Brother Roger came to Taize to provide a place for World War II refugees including displaced Jews. Brother Roger hoped to create an ecumenical sanctuary to encourage reconciliation and peace.

Since then, Taize has become a worldwide phenomenon that attracts pilgrims of all ages.

Accommodations are simple barracks and many bring tents, forming a constantly shifting but peaceful tent city. Attendance ranges from 30 visitors at a time to more than 5,000.

Participants work alongside the monks and brothers of all faiths maintaining the monastery and grounds. Three times a day, the monks call the participants to a simple worship in which simple chants, songs, and prayers are given. The centerpiece of the service is the extended silence signaled by a bell, for contemplation.

Pastor Bergstrand recently took 17 local women, including Hennig. to France for 12 days. One of their stops was at Taize.

“It was a pilgrimage to sacred places in France,” Hennig said. “Among the places we

Today: Those of Christian faith gather to pray three times a day in this ecumenical community, to more deeply commune with God. Where: Currently at St. Hubert’s Church, 8201 Main St. Chanhassen When: The next Taize service is 7 p.m., Dec. 8, for Advent. No service in January or February. It begins again in March, on the second Thursday of the month.

visited were Chartres Cathedral and the labyrinth there, and Taize.

“It is an ecumenical international site that is very popular with young people especially in summer,” Hennig said. “When we were there, it was the equivalent of our MEA weekend in Minnesota, and there were 3,000 French students staying.

The monks don’t charge a fee. Instead, visitors give as they are able.

A SENSE OF HOLINESS “The brothers are Protestant and Catholic,” Bergstrand said.

“Their goal is to live a life of simplicity, to say prayers for peace, and bring people together from different cultures. The music there is chant-like and repetitive, and you can sing it in your own language. I was listening and around me I could hear people speaking in French, German and English.”

Bergst ra nd f i rst visited Taize five years ago on a trip with her own family.

As a pastor, she has organized trip to sacred places including the Holy Lands. When she planned this trip to France, she was asked to include a visit to Taize.

“Oh, of course, we did the typical tourist things, too” Bergstrand said, “and we even took a French cooking class.

But we spent time visiting sacred places and the meditation labyrinth at Chartres.”

One of the high points was Taize. The group spent an afternoon, evening, and following morning there.

“It’s very moving,” Bergstrand said. “There is a sense of holiness. The reason it is so simple is so that we can see God in simplicity, and uncover our commonalities.

“You sing, you chant, you pray, you light candles,” Bergstrand said. “And then they ring a bell and you are silent for 7-10 minutes,” Bergstrand said. “It’s a way of trying to quiet our own thoughts and our own needs to make space for God.”

In a world of 24/7 talking heads, texting, and tweeting, Taize is a refuge of silence and contemplation.

For the past year, Sandy Rodenz has organized a monthly Taize service at St. Hubert’s Church, but you don’t have to be Catholic to participate.

The one-hour service is ecumenical. It is for anyone who seeks a refuge for prayer, song and reflection. Taize is gaining popularity across the country. When Rodenz was on vacation earlier this year, she came across a Taize service in North Carolina. Locally, Taize services are offered at Cretin Derham Hall in St. Paul, Minnehaha Methodist Church, St. Stephen’s Episcopal Chruch, Edina, even at Christ Chapel at Gustavus Adolphus.

Although Rodenz had invited Jim Bledsaw, pastor at Bethel Fellowship Community Church, to provide a reflection, Kristie Hennig, associate pastor at Family of Christ Lutheran Church, Chanhassen, and Deb Bergstrand, a pastor at Prairie Lutheran Church, Eden Prairie, attended simply as participants. Local pastors enjoy having a spiritual refuge where they can simply participate, and not lead as they usually do on Sundays.

“It’s nurturing to have a moment of quiet,” Hennig said. “I applaud St. Hubert’s for offering to host this.

“As a pastor, Sundays are actually quite busy,” Hennig said. “For me, this is a quiet place where I can listen. In a way I am more tuned into God than when I’m leading worship.”

Rodenz of Chanhassen experienced a Taize service at Benilde St. Margaret’s High School several years ago. The experience moved Rodenz, and she coordinated a Taize service during Lent in 2009 at St. Hubert’s. In 2010, she initiated a once a month Thursday evening service October through June 2011. The most recent service was Nov. 10.

There will be a Dec. 8 service for the Advent season.

White candles burning in the low light of the sanctuary provide an intimate and sacred place for quiet and stillness. On Nov. 10, more than four dozen people gathered for an hour-long service. Volunteers read from Scripture, and a quartet of musicians

This Thanksgiving, display an attitude of gratitude

H

opefully there is a time on Thanksgiving Day – between putting the turkey in the oven and planning our Black Friday assault on retailers – that we are actually giving thanks.

Perhaps it’s saying thank-you for the recent harvest, as our early American settlers did, but in the more suburbanized areas of the southwest metro area it is more likely about offering our thanks for good health, for family ties, for supportive spouses, or God’s many blessings.

Whatever we are thankful for, it’s the expression of gratitude – that “attitude of gratitude,” you might say – that’s important.

So important is the act that authors have credited gratitude for being one of the secrets to a person’s well-being.

This Thanksgiving, give thanks often … and if not often, at least well. Just as the southwest-area readers on this page have done.

Grateful for Mom I’m thankful for my mother, who died Oct. 15. Her funeral was the same weekend our large family had planned to gather for her 92nd birthday. (Her 11 children saw this coincidence as an extension of the

I am thankful for the opportunity to live in Prior Lake.

I am thankful to all of the city employees, mayor, City Council and organizations that make Prior Lake a great place to live.

Trinity Lutheran Church welcomes vicar New leader plans on growing the congregation

“We like the small community feel of this church. This church welcomes people – it’s very welcoming to any visitor. They’ve got such a positive spirit about our church and sharing their faith with others.

It’s fun to watch and very encouraging.”

BY NICK MASON nicholascmason@comcast.net

Vicar Jon Niebuhr and the Trinity Lutheran Church congregation in the city of Carver are enjoying a good start together.

The new clergyman and roughly 200 church members became comfortable with each other during his fi rst three months on the job.

“It’s a very good fit,” Niebuhr said during a Nov. 9 interview in his parsonage office. “It’s a wonderful little church. People have worked very hard to maintain it. We are starting to see a little bit of growth, and we hope that will continue.”

Church leaders feel the same way about him.

“Everybody in the parish seems to like him,” said Joe Frey, chairman of the three-member Board of Elders, which oversees theological operations. “He fits in very nicely. He is a Carver County type of person. He’s very at home in this area.

“He is really prayerful,” Frey continued. “He is really into prayer. You can tell that in a person. He really believes in that.”

Niebuhr is serving as a vicar, which amounts to a one-year internship after completing two years of study at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Mo. He is tentatively scheduled to be ordained as a pastor on Sept. 23, 2012.

Before then, the Trinity Lutheran congregation and Niebuhr will have the procedural opportunity next year to decide whether he will become the church’s clergyman permanently.

Both sides now consider that a mere formality. Their mindset is on nurturing a lasting partnership and embracing a prolonged period of pastoral stability.

“We’ve made it known that our wish is that he would stay for a number of years,” Elder Hiram Grimm told the Chaska Herald. “That is what we would like to see happen. He just made the commitment that he hopes to be here for a number of years.

There is nothing formal.”

Niebuhr said he and his wife, Jennifer, would be happy for him to have a long tenure at Trinity Lutheran, 407 Oak Street North. She teaches second grade at Trinity Lutheran School in Waconia. The couple has three children and a grandchild.

“With the call, we don’t make time commitments. The call itself, the Lord is involved in it, as well. There are a lot of variables in that,” Niebuhr said. “But at the same token, I could see us being here for a number of years because it’s a good fit for us.

“We like the small community feel of this church,” Niebuhr said. “This church welcomes people – it’s very welcoming to any visitor. They’ve got such a positive spirit about our church and sharing their faith with others. It’s fun to watch and very encouraging.”

Niebuhr was installed as vicar at Trinity Lutheran on Aug. 28, succeeding the Rev. Al Holthus, who was the church’s vacancy pastor for the unusually long period of three years, starting Sept. 1, 2008.

As vicar, Niebuhr can perform all pastoral functions except marry couples. He can participate in an assisting role during a wedding ceremony but cannot pronounce couples to be married until he is ordained as a pastor, based on state law. Holthus returned to Trinity Lutheran to officiate at one wedding since Niebuhr’s arrival.

“If any other weddings come up, it would be a combination of the two of us or we would make accommodations for it by having an ordained pastor work in combination with me or just come in and do the service,” Niebuhr said.

Holthus now is Visitation Pastor at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Chaska, ministering to the homebound, residents of nursing homes and hospital patients.

Holthus was preceded at Trinity Lutheran by the Rev. Holger Sonntag, who was pastor from July 1, 2004 until his resignation on July 31, 2008.

SELECTION PROCESS Niebuhr, 52, who grew up in Norwood Young America, is starting his third career as a clergyman.

He was a prison guard for 17 years in the Minnesota Department of Corrections, rising to the lieutenant’s level of corrections officer. He also was a part-time fi refi ghter for five years during that span.

His second career was as a full-time firefighter in Faribault for seven years before an on-duty shoulder injury required surgery and prevented him from returning to active duty fighting fires. He declined to accept a desk job and retired from the fire department in July 2009 to head in a new direction.

Jon Niebuhr Vicar, Trinity Lutheran Church Biebighauser is happy for Niebuhr, his wife and the Trinity Lutheran congregation.

“I just think the congregation and the Niebuhrs are blessed,” he said. “It looks to be a wonderful fit. They are blessed to get a wonderful servant in Jon and Jon and his wife, Jenny, are blessed to get such a loving and caring congregation.”

GROWTH

PHOTO BY NICK MASON

Vicar Jon Niebuhr began work at Trinity Lutheran Church in Carver in late August. He is pictured in the 1914 church’s sanctuary.

“The Lord had other plans for me,” Niebuhr said.

Niebuhr applied and was accepted at Concordia Seminary under the “alternate route” program that requires two years of theological training instead of the traditional three years needed to obtain a Master’s of Divinity degree.

“The normal process is a man spends two years on campus, then one year somewhere across the United States in a vicarage,” said the Rev. Dr. Lane Seitz, president of the Minnesota South district of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. “It’s like an internship under the supervision of an ordained pastor. Then he goes back to the seminary for one more year.

“Under the alternate route, they spend two years on campus and because they are not pursuing a Master’s of Divinity degree and do not have to write a Master’s thesis, they fi nish the course in two years and are assigned to a congregation somewhere in the United States,” Seitz explained.

“When the 12 months finish, the congregation would extend the call and they become the resident pastor.”

The Missouri Synod is a conservative branch of the Lutheran church, but not the most conservative one, Seitz said.

“I would say we are biblically conservative,” he explained. “I would say we consider the Bible to be verbally inspired and the inherent word of God. Others would question parts of it. We base our doctrine and practice on the word of God.” Niebuhr’s assignment to Trinity Lutheran was based partly on geography in that he was a resident of the Minnesota South district when he enrolled at Concordia Seminary. The fact that Niebuhr’s family is long-time friends with Seitz was helpful, too.

“Since he came out of the Minnesota South district, I have first dibs on him if he wants to come back to the Minnesota South district,” Seitz said. “When it’s time for a man like Jon to begin serving his vicarage, the folks at the seminary contact me and ask if there are places where he could serve.

“I look at congregations looking for a pastor,” Seitz said. “I ask them if they are interested in this particular candidate. I provide limited information about him, and they have the ability to contact him directly.”

The elders chose Grimm to interview Niebuhr.

“I was selected to talk to him, kind of do a phone interview,” Grimm said.

“Things just worked out very well.

He was the type of person we were looking for. He grew up in Norwood Young America, so it’s kind of getting back to his home area.

“He is a very optimistic person, saying he would visit with people, go out and talk to people in the area, just being a mission-minded person,” Grimm said of Niebuhr. “He’s very energetic. He also is compassionate and friendly.”

Seitz recommended Niebuhr to Trinity Lutheran’s elders and congregation.

“They were ready to call an ordained pastor, thinking of a seminary graduate,” Seitz recalled. “I’ve had such good success with the alternate route program. So I said: ‘What about this alternative? It gets you this man for a year. You can see how he fits before you have to make a decision.’”

Seitz and the elders encouraged the congregation to choose Niebuhr. The congregation vote was unanimous.

“He possesses very good people skills. He’s very conscientious. He is outreach-minded,” Seitz said of Niebuhr. “I just felt this congregation would be a good fit.”

“He is very down-to-earth and level-headed,” Elder Leon Goetze said of Niebuhr. “He doesn’t come on to any person that he meets that I’m better than you or I’m a vicar. He treats everybody as a human being and that we are all level and the same in the sight of God.” The congregation offered a compensation package including a salary, free housing in the church’s parsonage at 216 Fifth Street, and a mileage allowance for Niebuhr’s use of his personal vehicle.

Niebuhr accepted.

Niebuhr seemed relaxed during most of a 90-minute interview, but he appeared uncomfortable when asked to describe himself.

“Good question. I don’t know,” he began, sitting back in his chair while further considering his response. “I like to believe that I lead by example.

I like to believe that I lead by working alongside people, and that is the example our Lord gave us in the Bible, working along with his disciples.

“That, at least, is what I’m trying to do,” Niebuhr continued. “Whether it’s working or not, you would have to ask the people in my church. That is my goal.”

GETTING STARTED His fi rst sermon in Carver showed that he wants to work with his congregation to spread word about Trinity

Lutheran Church and recruit more members while also spreading the Gospel.

“The very fi rst sermon I preached here at my own installation was [titled] ‘It’s Not About You,’ ’’ Niebuhr said. “That is a reminder to me that whatever happens, it’s not about me doing it. It’s about all of us sharing in the Lord’s work.

“The Lord has blessed me with a vision and the people to do that and the ability to see where we could be,” he said. “With a little bit of work and a lot of prayer, we could be where they want to be.

“It’s the mission of all of us as Christians to reach out or else the Gospel doesn’t get shared,” he said. “That includes reaching out to families with young children, it includes the emptynesters, it includes everybody.”

Niebuhr is getting help from the Rev. Paul Biebighauser, pastor of Christ Victorious Lutheran Church in Chaska. Seitz assigned Biebighauser to be Niebuhr’s supervisory pastor during his vicarage.

“We have weekly meetings at 9 a.m.

Monday to talk about things. He previews all my sermons,” Niebuhr said.

“If I have any questions, I can call him.

If he has any advice, he gives it to me.

It’s more mentor than anything else.”

Niebuhr said he and Biebighauser learned they share a passion for golf.

Niebuhr also enjoys deer hunting and playing guitar.

“I don’t have one,” Niebuhr said of a golf handicap. “I guess mine is not having enough time to play golf.”

Biebighauser estimated he spends three to four hours per week communicating with Niebuhr in person and via phone conversations, e-mails and text messages.

“He hasn’t needed much assistance,” Biebighauser said. “He prepares wonderful sermons and I review those before he preaches them. I never have to make any changes to those.

“The other aspects of the ministry, I’m mainly just a sounding board for him to use as a resource,” Biebighauser said.

Asked for a sounding board example, Biebighauser cited a case where he offered suggestions about how Niebuhr might help two congregation members resolve a conflict.

“He recognized that he needed to address the conflict for the health of the congregation,” Biebighauser said.

“We discussed various approaches he could take before he met with the two individuals. He then successfully dealt with the situation.”

Much of Niebuhr’s plans focus on growing the church, which he views as inevitable because Carver has grown rapidly. Its population nearly tripled in the past decade, according to the federal census.

“We are going to grow,” he said.

“There are lots and lots of new families in Carver and we need to convince the people up on the bluff to come to the more historic part of town.”

He intends to boost church membership by building relationships with the general public and specific groups in what amounts to a church marketing campaign.

For example, two weeks after his installation, Niebuhr walked in the Carver Steamboat Days parade Sept.

11 and handed out 800 pocket-sized note pads with church information printed on the front cover. That was an early effort at raising community awareness about the church.

He met first with Carver Fire Chief Dan Meyer and then with other fi re chiefs throughout Carver County to offer his time and efforts to become chaplain of their fi re departments.

Niebuhr is working on revamping and expanding the church’s website, www.trinitycarver.org, by adding photographs and more information to make it more appealing to current and prospective parishioners. He said he hopes that task is completed before Christmas.

In 2012, Niebuhr plans for the church to host a “Block Party” in May offering food, games for children, music and ministerial outreach to the entire community. That will be followed by a family-oriented Halloween party.

“Hopefully, it won’t be quite so much work and we can have some fun, too,” Niebuhr said. “There is joy in ministering. There has to be joy in ministering, or why would we do it?”

His efforts are appreciated.

“We don’t have a school like St. John’s in Chaska, so getting young families to come to our church has been difficult,” Elder Frey said. “He is implementing things to reach out to the community. His attitude is completely positive.”

As recruiting actions bear fruit and the congregation grows, Niebuhr said there will be discussions about adding a second service on Sunday mornings. Typically, there currently are 50 to 60 people attending a service, although it has spiked as high as 80 people during his tenure. He said the number would need to climb to about 120 to warrant a second service.

“When we grow to a certain point, we will talk about how we integrate a second service on Sunday morning and what the format will be,” Niebuhr said.

That is a shared goal.

“We could be a lot larger,” Elder Goetze said. “We feel there is a lot more people out there who could be attending church with us. I really can’t put a number out there. If we can fi ll every pew for every service or go into a second service, God willing, that would be wonderful.”

While devoting much attention to the big-picture goal of growing Trinity Lutheran, Niebuhr fi nds satisfaction in ministering to individuals. He concluded the interview by sharing thoughts of trying to comfort a terminal cancer patient.

“Sometimes it can be most rewarding,” he said. “That might be the moment the Lord has chosen for you to be there and making a difference.”

For second year in row, no utility rate increase

BY NICK MASON nicholascmason@comcast.net

No increase of utility rates for existing customers in the city of Carver is planned for a second consecutive year.

City Administrator Brent Mareck and the city’s financial consultant, Ehlers Inc. of Roseville, recommended this month no changes in water, sewer and storm water rates for the more than 1,200 existing customers in 2012.

The only increase they suggested to Carver City Council is a 6 percent fee increase for new customers connecting to the city’s water system. That would be partly offset by a proposed 5 percent reduction in the sewer connection fee, creating a net increase of 1 percent for 2012.

“I think the assumptions in the rate study are conservative,” Councilor Mike Webb said during the council’s work session Nov. 7. “I’m also in favor of your recommendations.”

Councilors are expected to formally approve the utility rates recommendations at their Dec. 5 meeting.

Current monthly water rates are $4.93 per 1,000 gallons for the first 20,000 gallons and $7.40 per 1,000 gallons for all water use over 20,000 gallons.

The monthly water meter fee varies based on meter size. The standard residential 5/8-inch meter has a cu r rent $ 2 . 2 6 monthly charge.

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

Residents also pay a monthly storm water fee of $8.52 for repairing and maintaining drainage ditches, storm water ponds and other wetland outlets.

1,173 RESIDENTIAL The city has 1,173 residential utility customers and 40 commercial customers, including businesses and public properties, such as city buildings and city parks, according to Brenda Efta, Carver’s utility billing clerk.

Customers may have more choices in 2012 for paying utility bills. Mareck wants to begin accepting credit cards and debit cards for point-of-sale and online account payments next year.

Councilors decided last year not to raise or lower utility rates for existing customers in 2011 while reviewing Mareck’s proposed utility budgets. They are heading in that direction again this year after seeing his budget proposals for 2012.

Two consecutive years of steady utility rates for exist-

ing customers would follow eight years of rate increases, including some hefty ones.

Water rates jumped 25 percent and sewer rates climbed 15 percent in 2005 and water rates increased 20 percent in 2010.

Those large rate hikes helped pay annual installments on long-term loans the council took to expand and improve the utility system since 2002.

Major projects were building a water filtration treatment plant, erecting a water tower, digging three water wells and installing a booster station to improve water pressure in elevated neighborhoods.

Mareck’s proposed water and sewer budgets for 2012 are similar to his 2011 versions by containing surpluses that help build cash reserves for later use during an emergency or to help pay for major projects or purchases.

His proposed water budget for next year shows $640,000 of income, $491,289 of expenses and a $148,711 surplus. The proposed sewer budget shows $372,700 of income, $ 348,591 of expenses and a $24,109 surplus.

Prior water budget surpluses were tapped this year to pay for painting and structural repairs to Carver’s 100,000-gallon water tower at 1765 Mount Hope Road.

The City Council awarded a $239,000 contract to Champion Coatings, Inc. of Savage in May and the project was done during the summer.

This chart shows the city of Carver utilities monthly bill for a homeowner based on varying amounts of water consumption.

The 3,000-gallon amount is below average for household water use, the 6,000-gallon amount is typical use and the 10,000-gallon amount is above-average use for many customers during most months. The 25,000-gallon amount is intended to demonstrate large water use in summer months due to lawn sprinkling and other outdoor water use.

The city’s sewer fee is based on $5.62 per 1,000 gallons of water used per month based on the average water consumption during January, February and March of each year.

The 25,000-gallon water consumption column (reflecting summer irrigational use) lists a sewer fee based on an average of 6,000 gallons of water consumption.

The listed water meter fee is based on the standard residential 5/8-inch meter size. Larger meters have higher monthly fees.

STORM WATER BUDGET A new twist in Mareck’s utility package is a separate annual budget for storm water expenses. It shows $118,789 of income in 2012, $223,780 of expenses and a deficit of $104,991.

Forecasts for future years show annual surpluses.

For the second consecutive year, Mareck and Ehlers recommended that developers pay more in 2012 to connect to the water system but less to con-

nect to the sewer system.

They suggested that the water connection fee per unit increase from the current $5,732 to $6,076 in 2012, a 6 percent increase. At the same time, they suggested the sewer connection fee per unit drop from the current $4,608 to $4,365 in 2012, a 5 percent decrease. In a written report to the city council, the sewer connection decrease was mistakenly identified as being only 2 percent.

“We still have pressure on the water fund,” Jessica Cook, public financial advisor for Ehlers, told councilors about the need for a water connection fee increase.

Councilors had asked Oct. 17 if the city would have enough money in its water funds to pay loan installments if construction halts for an extended period and the city stops collecting water system connection fees.

Cook explained verbally and in writing during the council work session Nov. 7 that the city expects to have a cash balance exceeding $1.5 million in water funds as of Dec. 31, 2011.

Those reserves are enough to make loan payments through 2014, but the city “would need to find another source of revenue” starting in 2015 if no water connection fees are collected by then.

“Ultimately, connection fee revenue will reimburse the city for its debt expenditures, but no growth in the next several years would present a significant cash flow problem,” the written analysis states.

Carver utilities got a major income boost in June when Mills Properties Inc. of Brainerd paid $573,200 of water connection fees and $460,800 of sewer connection fees to build a Mills Fleet Farm store, Mills Gas Mart convenience store and Mills Car Wash northwest of Highway 212 and Jonathan Carver Parkway.

Salary bump for Carver employees

NEW LANDSCAPE

2 percent raise in 2012 and 2013

BY NICK MASON nicholascmason@comcast.net

The Carver City Council and the city’s union employees have approved a two-year contract that will give workers a 2 percent pay raise in both years.

Counci lors voted unanimously without discussion Nov. 7 to ratify the 2012-2013 contract that applies to seven non-supervisory employees.

City Administrator Brent Mareck, a negotiator for the city, summarized the contract’s key terms for councilors and estimated the new contract will cost the city an additional $22,735 in wages and benefits, mostly in 2013.

Contract negotiations began in late May and finished in October.

“I think the negotiations went well, and I think we have a productive agreement,” Mareck later told the Chaska Herald.

Employees represented by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Minnesota Council 65, AFL-CIO, Local 2789, voted unanimously to ratify the contract Oct. 26.

“I feel the negotiations went very well, and I feel it is a fair agreement,” said Brenda Efta, the city’s utility billing clerk and a negotiator for the union.

Union workers in the city’s departments of Public Works, Public Utilities, Clerk’s Office and Building Inspection will

receive a 2 percent raise on Jan. 1, 2012 and another 2 percent raise on Jan. 1, 2013.

Hourly wages will range from $18.42 to $ 25.94 during 2012 and from $18.79 to $26.46 during 2013.

Mareck has recommended in his proposed 2012 city budget that the city’s six non-union supervisory employees also receive a 2 percent raise next year. He said no plans have been made yet for 2013 salaries for supervisory employees.

Councilors are scheduled to approve a 2012 city budget next month.

The new contract between the city and union includes several changes to “on call” provisions when employees are contacted outside of normal working hours and instructed to report to work.

Mareck reported to councilors that the series of changes should result in an estimated net savings of $1,382 for the city during the contract. The savings is partly due to eliminating payments to employees for their time driving to and from work when called in on nights and weekends.

The new contract will start Jan. 1, 2012 and end Dec. 31, 2013. It will replace the existing two-year contract that expires Dec. 31, 2011.

All city employees, including union members, received a 1.2 percent pay raise on July 1, 2011. All employees received no raise in 2010.

Return to Oz CTC’s ‘Wizard of Oz’ takes the audience back home

BY BARBARA TIEBEN btieben@swpub.com

T

hose who see Children’s Theatre Company’s holiday show, “The Wizard of Oz,” should prepare to be transported – and not just to the Land of Oz. Prepare for a trip back in time.

Within minutes of the opening curtain I was once again that 6-year-old with a blanket pulled up to my eyeballs as the tornado roared through my living room. The house, the cow, evil Mrs. Gultch – and the Wicked Witch! – swirled by.

And by the time Dorothy’s house thumped down into Munchkinland, I was firmly settled into the year 1963 when I remember taking my first trip to Oz. Artistic Director Peter Rothstein doesn’t miss a delightful nuance from the iconic film as he presents a show that is both familiar and fresh.

As the timeless film is so much a part of entertainment history (it was broadcast on television annually from 1959 to 1991), I came to the theater expecting to get reacquainted with my friends Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion. Accompanied by my grandchildren, I expected to see in their faces the delight, fear and amazement I’d experienced during my first journey to Oz. What I didn’t expect was that I would take a trip into my past. Suddenly I was 6-year-old me cowering behind the couch when the Wicked Witch of the West explodes into Munchkinland.

And it came rushing back how horrified I was, year after year, by those striped stockings curling up underneath Dorothy’s house.

Truly a show for all ages, my grandchildren, ages 5, 6 and 7, had seen and loved the classic film. During our car ride to the theater they asked if I thought trees would throw apples at Dorothy and how a real-life Wicked Witch could melt away on stage. We talked about theater magic and expected we might be amazed.

We were not disappointed.

Maeve Coleen Moynihan

What I didn’t expect was that I would take a trip into my past. Suddenly I was 6-year-old me cowering behind the couch when the Wicked Witch of the West explodes into Munchkinland.

And it came rushing back how horrified I was, year after year, by those striped stockings curling up underneath Dorothy’s house. delights as Dorothy. A former lullaby league munchkin from CTC’s 2002-2003 production of the show, Moynihan perfectly portrays the Dorothy we know and love.

And Toto, too! The audience offers warm chuckles each time Toto makes an entrance.

Dean Holt, Max Wojtanowicz and Reed Sigmund shine as Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion.

Rothstein’s staging offers visual cues that complement the script’s early references to brain, heart and courage as the trio portrays farmhands Hunk, Hickory and Zeke.

Jennifer Blagen is every bit as dark and evil as she should be as the Wicked Witch of the West. Though many in the audience know the show well enough to recite lines along with the actors, we still are surprised and frightened each time she appears.

In an astounding trick of theater magic, Janet Hanson plays both Aunt Em and Glinda the Good Witch of the North, and she nails the contrasting roles.

‘The Wizard of Oz’ Children’s Theatre Company enters the Land of Oz for the third time in its 46-year history. The Cowardly Lion, Tin Man, Scarecrow, Dorothy and Toto, too, travel through the timeless classic.

The muted tones of the

costumes and set of the Gale farm suggest the classic film’s black and white opening and closing sequences.

L. Frank Baum’s 1900

book “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” has enjoyed myriad cultural references and reinventions such as “The Wiz,” “Wicked” and even an episode of “Scrubs” titled “My Way Home.”

CTC’s production brings us back to the heart of the tale and, like Dorothy’s happy ending, feels like a homecoming.

Back to the Book “The Wizard of Oz” is based on L. Frank Baum’s 1900 book “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” Baum wrote 13 novel sequels, nine other fantasy novels and a host of other works including “The Magical Monarch of Mo.”

Club encourages readers to share brews and views

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

What’s rewarding for moderator Jeff Kamin is that no two book discussions are ever alike.

Kamin is the originator of the wildly popular Books & Bars book club, a modern update of the classic book club.

R at her t ha n me eti ng at someone’s home, Kamin has brought book club discussion and camaraderie to local bars in the Twin Cities. In November, Kamin brought his book club to the School of the Wise II in Chanhassen.

We spoke to Kamin by phone recently, to learn more about this book club in a bar that he started seven years ago.

By day, Kamin works at Minnesota Public Radio; by evening, he’s put together a book club that meets once a month at the Aster Café Minneapolis, the Amsterdam in St. Paul, and now School II in Chanhassen.

The month ly gatherings begin at 6 p.m. in the selected bar/restaurant where everyone orders their own dinners and refreshments. The book discus-

MPR producer and avid reader Jeff Kamin brings his popular Books & Bars book club to Chanhassen.

The next book club meeting is Tuesday, Dec. 6 at School II in Chanhassen.

sion begins at 7 p.m.

The book selected for Dec. 6 is “Freedom,” by Jonathan Franzen.

Kamin said that one of his book club attendees is Amy Ray

of Chanhassen. Ray writes a blog for WCCO and is a fairly regular attendee of the monthly book club at Aster Café in Minneapolis.

“But she said to me, ‘I love this, but sometimes I don’t want to come from the west to attend,’” Kamin said. “That was interesting. I mean, we’ve done the program occasionally elsewhere. We’ve gone as far as Winsted as a ‘road trip,’ brought out by a local arts council. And we’ve been at the Bryant Lake Bowl in Uptown.

“But in our seven years of doing this, we do like to have a ‘home’ to build up an audience,” Kamin said. “I started thinking about coming out to the west metro. Our Minneapolis location is starting to get crowded, but there’s a demand where we’re not. That’s a reason we recently expanded to a St. Paul location (the Amsterdam Café).

“In the past, I’ve gone for two venues and two different books,” Kamin said. “But then we started thinking, we should try the community read model.

One book but three di f ferent places and three different crowds.”

Kamin said that they’ve tried it out once so far.

“It wasn’t super crowded but this was before anyone knew about it,” he said. “We have a Web site; we’re on Facebook and Twitter. Anyway, Amy (Ray) introduced me to Ann Clifford at the School II. She was really enthusiastic about it.”

On a good night at the Aster Café, his book club has drawn 80 to 100 people. He uses a cordless microphone, and describes a good discussion evening as one in which the participants have read the book and are ready to discuss it.

“We all read the same book,” Kamin said, “but we don’t read the same book. By that I mean that the book at 25-year old reads is not the same as the book a 45-year old reads.

Everyone will have a different take on what they’ve read.

“It’s a lot of fun,” Kamin said. “You have a beer, wine, something to eat. I like to give out some prizes. Our bookstore sponsor is Magers & Quinn, and so we have copies of this month’s book and next month’s book on sale.”

Kamin is a producer at Min-

Books & Bars When: Tuesday, Dec. 6 Where: School of the Wise II, Chanhassen What: Gather at 6 p.m. for dinner and drinks, followed by book discussion at 7 p.m. Featured book—“Freedom,” by Jonathan Franzen.

neapolis Public Radio, working on live shows and events at the St. Paul Fitzgerald Theater.

He’s a native of Milwaukee, Wis., and worked for a time on the West Coast before coming to the Twin Cities.

“I’ve always loved reading literature from an early age,” Kamin said. “When we moved here from L.A., I wanted to be in a book club but found that most of them are women’s book clubs. So I thought well maybe we could have one in a bar and draw a mixed crowd.”

The books and bar theme has attracted interest and could be turned into a TV program.

“The format would be more like a late night talk show,”

Kamin said. “We’ve already fi lmed one event and we’re cutting it together. In this day and age, you can buy the book, and do a video download of the book club discussion, and watch the discussion questions. Maybe you gather your own group of people at your house, or join us online. There’s really nothing like it.

“I’ve gotten calls from people interested in franchising something similar in their city,” Kamin said. “But what it takes is someone who leads it and has the passion to do it for free until it takes off. I’ve trademarked the name and it is an exciting prospect to try it in other cities.

A shooting incident Tuesday morning may be gang-related, according to the Carver County Sheriff’s Office.

Carver County deputies and Eden Prairie police responded to a call of shots fired at 2 a.m. Nov. 22 near the Emerson Rosemou nt Company, 82 0 0 Market Boulevard, in the city of Chanhassen.

According to deputies at the scene, Chhun Pheakdey was assaulted by several people as he left work after his shift. The beating may have been in retaliation for an assault in Eden Prairie last month, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Preliminary investigation indicates, Pheakdey, 32, who works the night shift at Emerson Rosemount, was leaving work a fter his shi ft ended at 1:30 a.m., when he was assaulted by several people. During the assault, Pheakday was punched and kicked in the face and head. Pheakdey is allegedly “affi liated” with the Asian

Boys Gang, according to the Sheri f f ’s Office.

W hen the assailants ran off, Pheakdey is alleged to have chased, caught and pistol-whipp e d Chhun one of t hem Pheakdey before firing several rounds. Bullet casings were recovered by Ca r ver County deputies near the scene.

At this time, there is no indication of injuries as a result of the shooting.

Pheakdey was transported to Two Twelve Medical Center where he was treated for his injuries. After being treated, Pheakdey was arrested, transported and booked into the Carver County Jail for 2nd deg ree assau lt (dangerous weapon).

The Carver County Sheriff’s Office is investigating and asks for anyone with information regarding this incident to call (952) 361-1212.

FALL SIGNING PERIOD

DIVISION II VOLLEYBALL

PHOTO BY ERIC KRAUSHAR

Chaska senior Jon DuToit signs his National Letter of Intent with his mother, Pam, by his side, at a ceremony at the high school Nov. 16. DuToit will play for the University of Minnesota in the fall of 2012.

A dream come Gopher

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

I

t was a stroke of luck that Jon Rydland found his current golf prodigy more than six years ago, Then again, Chaska senior Jon DuToit was found doing what he loves best.

“I remember the fi rst time I bumped into Jon. It was out at the Town Course on a practice green. I would say it was 2005.

The guys were striking the ball well like most years, but we were having a hard time fi nding the hole so we went to the practice green,” said Rydland, the Chaska Head Boys Golf Coach. “I was talking to the boys about some drills and the guys were getting easily distracted. They just kept turning their heads, I was losing them.

As I’m walking around trying to figure out what was going on, I see this fourth or fi fth grader that couldn’t have been more than four feet tall.”

“He was lining up putts – I had never seen anything like it – from 20-feet plus and he was knocking them in. He knocked in about five or six in a row. He doesn’t even crack a smile. I was looking for the Golf Channel cameras. I’m not kidding,

he was making about 80 percent of the shots. I’m looking at my guys and I’m not sure they made 10 percent of their shots,” the coach added.

Rydland, the coach for Chaska golf for 15 years, had found his future star in DuToit.

Six years later, Rydland retold the story of their first meeting during the Chaska senior’s National Letter of Intent signing with the University of Minnesota Nov. 16 at the high school.

DuToit will begin play with the Gophers in the fall of 2012.

“I grew up always wanting to be a Gopher. It feels good knowing the next four years I’ll be one,” DuToit said. “I wanted to stay close to home and I’ve been around the campus since I was a little kid. They have great facilities with the golf course and stuff.”

“I’m really excited to have Jon joining us,” Gophers Head Mens Golf Coach John Carlson said. “He’s my only recruit coming from the 2012 class, and it will be great to have him as a Gopher.”

Carlson said it was the work ethic of DuToit that drove the Big Ten program to recruit the Chaska native.

“Jon is a steady player that will add a lot from a work ethic

standpoint. The type of player I’m trying to recruit is like a Jon DuToit. He’s a range rat.

He loves to work on his game and he’s only going to make players around him better,” the Gophers coach said.

“I’m not going to treat it different. I’m just going to go out there and have fun and play golf like I always do,” said DuToit on what it will be like to go from high school tournaments to collegiate events.

DuToit, a senior at Chaska High School, boasts six high school and summer tournament victories in 2011. He won the Minnesota State Junior Boys’ Championship in July.

He came back from four strokes down in the second round, and then won in a playoff. His tworound score was four-over 144.

He also posted impressive fi nishes in other tournaments during 2011. DuToit tied for third in the Minnesota Class AAA state tournament in June with a score of two-over 146. In the summer, he tied for fourth in the AJGA’s W. Duncan MacMillan Classic at Rush Creek, and tied for sixth in the 2011 Minnesota State Amateur.

DuToit had an impressive year in 2010, as well. He was the Chaska Town Course Club

champion, and Nike Junior champion.

He is a four-time all-conference selection and has won back-to-back conference titles in the Lake and Missota.

“Joh n ny i s a n at u r a l. I thought to myself this guy has a special gift of getting that ball in the hole. I just couldn’t wait until he got to the high school team. Sure enough, a couple of years later he did have that gift when he tried out as a seventh grader. We’ve been extremely lucky to have him on our team the past five seasons and we are really excited for him post-high school,” Rydland said.

During the past four high school seasons, DuToit has carded 136 birdies and seven rounds under par. He has won a total of nine high school tournaments and is a two-time team most valuable player.

“That’s the goal – to win state. I hope the team does well.

I think we’ll be alright. We’ll be young. But, yeah, the goal is to win state,” DuToit said.

Not much has changed between DuToit and Rydland since their fi rst meeting on the practice green.

“He’s a little bit taller now, but he’s still knocking down putts,” the coach said.

COLLEGE HOCKEY

Size doesn’t stop Mork from competing

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Kayla Mork is listed as five feet, four inches in the University of New Hampshire program. That, of course, is her listed height on skates.

Size has never stopped the Victoria native and 2011 Breck School of Golden Valley graduate from achieving success whether it be in hockey, golf or cross country.

She helped the Mustangs hockey team to a third-place finish in Class A as a senior and to runner-up finishes in 2008 and 2010. A Hobey Baker High School Character Award honoree, Mork was a three-time all-conference selection and two-time Minnesota Elite League participant.

Now, Mork is playing on the third line for the University of New Hampshire, which was in town this past weekend to face the No. 3-ranked Minnesota Gophers.

“It is a great experience for all of us and especially for us couple of Minnesota girls to come back and see our family and friends.

We grew up here watching and cheering on the Gophers so it’s a great opportunity to play at Ridder against them,” said Mork, who is one of two Minnesotans on the Wildcats roster.

New Hampshire has traditionally been one of the elite women’s hockey programs in Division I, but graduation hit

the Wildcats hard and this year is considered to be a rebuilding season.

For Mork, that is allowing her to be in the lineup every night and helping her development from high school hockey to the collegiate ranks.

“It’s defi nitely a lot faster, but it’s been fun to play with girls that really care about the game. Everyone works so hard and you can rely on everyone to know that they are out there doing their best,” she said.

“I love (New Hampshire) so much. The team and the coaches and the whole atmosphere at the school has been perfect so far,” Mork added.

So far this season, she has one goal and two assists. Her netter came in a 5-4 win over Dartmouth, forcing overtime with the goal with just four minutes left on the clock. She added an assist on the winning goal in the extra session.

Brian McCloskey, in his 10th year of leading the Wildcats, called Mork a “hard worker” and somebody “we’re lucky to have on our team.”

Even in an 11-0 loss to Minnesota in the fi rst game of the

She battled for pucks along the boards and she spent a fair amount of time on the ice doing the little things to help her team.

“You just have to work harder than everybody else,” said Mork, who saw her team fall 6-1 in the second game of the series Saturday.

Meeting up with family and friends in the crowd wasn’t the only reunion for Mork. She went up against friend and teammate for many years in Chanhassen’s Rachel Ramsey, a freshman

defenseman for the Gophers.

Ramsey, the daughter of former Minnesota Wild Assistant Coach Mike Ramsey, played at Minnetonka High School.

“I’ve been playing with Kayla since U12s. Her dad, Frank, was my coach for quite a few summers. It was fun to see her on the ice,” said Ramsey, who didn’t seem to mind being on the 11 side compared to the zero.

“It’s really fun playing against friends and seeing the success they are having. It’s fun to see everyone that you grew up with play college hockey. To be at the top level, playing against them, is really awesome,” Mork said.

Victoria native Amanda Konetchy, a Chaska High School graduate, has 1,366 set assists for Concordia-St. Paul, which has a 31-2 record and is in the Division II National Quarterfinals.

Is No. 5 in the cards for Golden Bears?

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

Amanda Konetchy had a volleyball season to remember in 2010. The Chaska graduate was named Northern Sun Intercollegiate Freshman of the Year, American Volleyball Coaches Association National Freshman of the Year, NCAA Championship Tournament All-Tournament Team, NCAA Central Region All-Tournament Team, Daktronics AllAmerican First Team, AVCA Second Team All-American, AVCA Regional Freshman of the Year, NSIC First Team and NSIC Setter of the Week five times.

And that’s all that is listed on the Concordia-St. Paul s o p h o m o r e ’s b i o g r a p h y.

There’s likely more.

Awards are awards and to Konetchy, a Victoria native, what is most important is titles. And the most important title of them all is the Division II National title – something the Golden Bears have won four straight seasons.

Is No. 5 in the cards?

“I feel like we do have a shot. (Coach Brady Starkey) is very confident about it and that makes us believe we have a shot,” Konetchy said. “We play in the toughest region, so we know what it’s like to play the top teams. We know how we have to play and how we have to show up to win.”

The Division II National Tournament begins Dec. 1 agai nst Cent ra l Missou ri in San Bernardino, Cali f.

The semifi nals and fi nals are scheduled for Dec. 2 and 3.

The Golden Bears reached the Elite Eight by winning three matches in straight sets at the Central Regional in Nebraska last weekend.

CSP beat No. 19 Minnesota State University-Mankato, No. 7 Minnesota-Duluth and No. 9 Southwest Minnesota

State University – all conference foes.

“We played Mankato, Duluth and Southwest and that was nice because we had already played all of those teams and we knew we could play with them. Brady sets up the toughest competition for our schedule, even if that means a few losses. We feel like we’ve played some of the best teams in the country and nothing is unexpected,” Konetchy said.

A fifth consecutive trip to the national tournament wasn’t a given mid-season as the Golden Bears lost a pair of conference matches – one each to Duluth and Wayne State.

“We learned from those losses. We had a huge target on our back and I think it was good for us to lose. It was an eye-opening experience,” the sophomore setter said. “We saw we had a lot of work to get where we wanted to be at the end of the season.”

Getting junior middle hitter Cassie Haag, a Southwest Christian High School graduate, back from illness, was a large piece of the puzzle that returned at the end of the season. After defeating No. 1 Duluth on the road in front of the largest home crowd ever to watch a Bulldog volleyball match, CSP was back on track.

“That was where we turned around our season,” Konetchy said.

“Having (Cassie) back, I feel more comfortable with our offense and she makes our offense much stronger.

We rely on her so much. She opens up the outside for Kayla Koenecke, Megan Carlson and others,” said Konetchy, who scrimmaged against Haag in high school.

CSP has won eight matches in a row – all by 3-0 scores – entering the National quarterfi nal match against No. 6 Central Missouri.

“We learned from those losses. We had a huge target on our back and I think it was good for us to lose. It was an eye-opening experience. We saw we had a lot of work to get where we wanted to be at the end of the season.”

Chaska senior Kirsten Augdahl swims in the Class A State Meet 500-yard freestyle event at the University of Minnesota. She finished in 15th place in the event.

Augdahl finishes 15th in 500 free

BY ERIC KRAUSHAR scores@swpub.com

The 500-yard freestyle can be one of the toughest events in high school swimming. Twenty lengths of 25 yards can test a swimmer both physically and mentally.

One of the biggest challenges with the event is maintaining a consistent speed and maintaining a taper from the section meet to the state meet.

Chaska senior Kirsten Augdahl overcame all those challenges to place 15th at the Class A State Swimming Meet Saturday at the Aquatic Center at the University of Minnesota.

Augdahl, a two-time state qualifier in the event, swam a time of 5:24.99 in the consolation fi nals of the 500 freestyle.

Her time was 5:24.97 in the preliminary round Friday.

“She had a fabulous season and we are so proud of her,” Chaska Head Coach Kristen Nicholson said.

Chaska tied Morris Area and Austin for 38th place with two team points.

B efor e t he pr el i m i n a r y round, Nicholson told senior Kirsten Augdahl to “go for it.”

The Hawks senior responded with a season-best time of 5:24.97 to place 13th overall.

Augdahl, seeded 15th with a time of 5:25.63 heading into the event, was strong the fi rst 200 meters. Swimming in the fi rst heat, the Chaska senior had four of her five-fastest splits to begin the race.

Her fi nal 50 meters came in at 32.83 to fi nish fourth in her heat. It was her first second-day performance at the state meet.

Last year, Augdahl hit the wall at 5:25.31 – good enough for 18th place.

A lso swimming in the 500-yard freestyle event was fellow Hawk senior Caitlin Gilliland, who was 18th with a time of 5:29.83. The top 16 swimmers returned for Day Two. Gilliland, a two-time state

Holy Family Catholic diver Kayla Lindeman, who sat in fourth place through eight dives, scored 312 points in 11

dives to place ninth overall.

Northfield’s Bailey Dupay won the event with a score of 405.50.

The Fire took 34th in the team standings with nine points.

Residents at Centennial Hill Senior Residence transformed an unused room on the third floor into a craft and sewing room two years ago. Since then the group, led by quilter and artist LaVonne “Lovey” Grupp has been creating quilts that they donate to a women’s shelter and a children’s home. Clockwise from top left, Betty Olson, Marrian Bergquist, Verniece Sequira, Jean Mancini, and the group’s quilting expert Lovey Grupp. Not pictured are Jean Tischleder and Betty Mason.

Stitching up some compassion Quilts, caps and scarves provide comfort to needy children, moms

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

Lavonne Grupp is better known as “Lovey” at Centennial Hill Senior Apartments, an independent living complex for people age 55 and older in Chanhassen. For the past year and a half, Grupp has designed and sewn more than 100 quilts, and she’s not slowing down anytime soon.

The quilts are donated to the Bundles of Love Charity, which provides infant layettes to mothers with infants in need, and to St. Joseph’s Children’s Home in Minneapolis, which provides shelter and treatment for children in crisis.

In addition to the quilts, the two charitable organizations also receive knitted and crocheted adult and baby caps, mittens, and scarves, all produced by a small group of women at Centennial Hill.

According to Anne Marie Stolp, the site manager, two years ago, residents sought a place where they could work on their hobbies. A little-used card room on the third floor was converted into a work studio. After one of the building’s maintenance men donated a Singer sewing machine, the hobby group took off. Initially, the women who met worked on their own projects — quilting, knitting, and crocheting — but there are only so many quilts and sets of mittens and scarves a person can make and give to family and friends.

The women discussed the situation.

Why not donate what they love to make? But to what groups? There were so many.

Verniece Sequira, a former administrative assistant, likes being organized and working on the computer. She went online and started investigating charitable organizations and what their needs were.

Sequira compiled a list of groups for the women to review

and discuss. They chose Bundles of Love and St. Joseph’s Children’s Home.

The group welcomes anyone to come and join them — including men.

“Anyone can come and join us,” Grupp said. “They can come and work on their own projects with us.”

They meet as a group twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2 :30 to 3:30 p.m., sometimes longer if they’re making good progress on what they’re working on.

QUILTER You might say that Grupp is the artistic director of the group. At 86, Grupp is an accomplished quilter and greeting card maker. She’s successful at anything that intrigues her and masters anything she sets her mind to do. Her apartment is fi lled with her quilted wall hangings, greeting cards, and other art projects.

She grew up in Mason City, Iowa, where she started music and dance lessons as a youngster and found success. As an accomplished dancer — she excelled in tap — she was in demand for community groups and gatherings, often appearing with her sister. She was also a gifted accordionist and in 1939 won the title as Iowa’s championship accordionist. She taught music, and was a regular musician on a local radio program.

She was a popular musician at neighborhood street dances, too, pointing out that while she played many styles of music, the “Beer Barrel Polka” was always a crowd pleaser.

She married her high school sweetheart Don Grupp, and helped him run the family grocery store in Mason City.

She helped with everything in the grocery store except cut the quarters of beef.

“I trained all the employees in all the departments,” Grupp said. “I balanced the cash registers, and did the bookkeeping.”

Lovey Grupp’s current hobbies include quilting — as evidenced by one of her original quilted wall hangings on the wall — and greeting cards. Grupp’s multi-faceted talents include being the 1939 Iowa accordion champion, a dancer and entertainer, owning and running a grocery store and running a sewing alterations business.

Grupp’s meticulously perfect paper flowers decorate her greeting cards. Each card is one of a kind, stamped, colored with felt markers, embossed with special finishes and gold leaf, and embellished both outside, and on the inside.

They had two sons, Tom and Scott. In 1980, she and Don, now deceased, retired to Florida.

“But I didn’t really retire,” Grupp said. “I can’t sit around.

I kept busy. I worked for a lady who lived across the street. I cooked for her, drove her to her appointments and did her shopping. And after that, I started an alterations business. I was pretty busy even though I didn’t do any advertising.

“When my husband became too ill — he had many health problems — we moved to Minnetonka in 1998, to be closer to our granddaughter who lived

here.”

When her husband died in 2005, she moved from their Lake Susan apartment into Centennial Hills.

Grupp had sewed from the time she was barely able to reach the pedals of her mom’s treadle sewing machine. She’d done some quilting over the years, but the quilting project really took off in May 2010.

“I love designing quilts,” Grupp said. “It’s what keeps me going.”

PROJECT MANAGER If Grupp serves, informally,

as the group’s artistic director, then Verniece Sequira would be the project manager. Sequira used to sew for her kids when they were growing up.

Originally from New Bedford, Mass., she and her husband moved to Minnesota and the Twin Cities in the 1970s. She took on the task of locating charitable organizations whose needs meshed with what the women liked to create.

Sequria likes to make prayer shawls, which are donated to the elderly as they’re soft, warm and comforting.

Betty Olson’s specialty is knitting infant caps. The caps are tiny. Still, the most timeconsuming portion of each hat is knitting the ribbing.

“That’s because it’s knit two, purl two,” Olson said. “We donate these to Bundles of Joy. They’re put into diaper bags that are given to new moms along with one of our baby quilts and other baby items.”

Olson, a native of Mantorville, Minn., prompted chuckles and hoots when she mentioned she’d gone to beauty school after high school. As a young woman, she worked as beautician in the exclusive Kenwood neighborhood of Minneapolis.

“I did it until I couldn’t stand being around women all day,” Olson said. “I used to say, ‘I’m a

beautician, not a magician!’”

Jean Mancini calls herself the late bloomer of the group.

Originally from upstate New York, she moved to Chanhassen after retirement to be closer to family.

“I did some knitting when I was younger, but not for a long time,” Mancini said. “But when I joined the group last year, I was welcomed with open arms.

Lovey is a wonderful teacher.”

Marrian Bergquist grew up in northern Minnesota, and was widowed young. She lived in Eden Prairie for 30 years and raised four children.

“I do kids’ quilts, shawls, caps, scarves,” Bergquist said.

“I don’t do mittens because they tend to look like balloons!

“I think this whole group’s success is that we wanted to donate, not sell what we made,” Berquist said. “We don’t have much opportunity to do the volunteer work that we used to do. It was unanimous when we got together. This is social and we like to get together, and we’re doers.”

“If there are folks who want to be volunteer sewers, I’ll assemble kits,” Grupp said. “They can pick them up, and when they’ve sewn them, drop them off at Centennial Hill to be donated. And I can give lessons, too, if anyone would like.”

GUEST FOOD COLUMNIST

Harry Potter cookbook is officially magical

“Although we do not have magical elves in our kitchen to make sumptuous foods wondrously appear on empty platters as they do at Hogwarts Hall, author Dinah Bucholz provides whimsy and the recipes to create our own lavish banquets at home.”

BY LISA PATRIN

E

ditor’s note: The newspaper invited Lisa Patrin, a food connoisseur from Chanhassen, to review the “Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook.”

The “Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook” is brimming over with more than 150 wizardly recipes, and would be an enchanting addition to any home cook’s kitchen. The cookbook is “unofficial” as Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling is not connected in any way to the cookbook except as the inspiration.

Sidebar descriptions offer the history and fun facts on a multitude of spellbinding dishes and their delightful culinary ties to British cuisine and the Harry Potter series. Although we do not have magical elves in our kitchen to make sumptuous foods wondrously appear on empty platters as they do at Hogwarts Hall, author Dinah Bucholz provides whimsy and the recipes to create our own lavish banquets at home.

The recipes for this book were created

by Chef Chris Koch, culinary director of a Philadelphia cooking school, kitchen director of a number of TV shows and the author of “Learning the Basics: A Home Cook’s Guide to the Kitchen.”

Muggles everywhere will be motivated to dust off their whisks and start cooking.

Recipes range from easy and kid-friendly, with few ingredient requirements, to more complex dishes that require adult presence for preparation. Conjure up the “Roast Beef of Old England” for dinner and serve the “Dark Chocolate Truffles” or “Triple Power Icy Lemon Pops” for dessert. The book’s introduction is stacked with information regarding cooking techniques, necessary tools and ingredient substitution suggestions.

If you don’t have treacle, use dark molasses.

Don’t know what turbinado sugar is? Look for sugar in the raw in the baking aisle.

These tips decrease the intimidation factor for beginners and serve as a refresher for the more experienced cook.

No-Bake Chocolate-Bottom Pumpkin Tart Tart Dough 1 cup all-purpose flour

The two recipes listed with this story would be ideal choices for either a Harry Potter theme party or your holiday buffet table. When creating multiple dishes for a gathering it is important to include recipes that are festive, can be completed in a reasonable amount of time and have a few “crossover” ingredients. This cuts down on time and expense.

The crossovers in these recipes include butter, sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and canned pumpkin. The no-bake chocolate bottom pumpkin tart is just one of the numerous delectable desserts enjoyed by Harry, Ron and Hermione at the Hogwarts Banquets.

The flavor combination of dark chocolate and pumpkin is sublime and the tart has an elegant layered look to it when sliced. It is important to note that the recipe has no-bake in the title, this refers to the filling. Baking is required for the crust. Harry first enjoys the hand held pumpkin pasties while traveling aboard the Hogwarts Express. The pastry has a flakey texture and the pumpkin spice filling is superb.

You are not alone Veterans’ memorial ‘book’ shows that every vet counts

BY UNSIE ZUEGE uzuege@swpub.com

Ron Schlangen’s “book” has 12,622 pages but one defi nitive message to vets, all vets.

“You are not alone.”

His book, “All Wars Veterans Memorial,” is a memorial to all the U.S. veterans who have served in the U.S. military during wartime — all veterans, beginning with the Revolutionary War. That’s 43 million.

Schlangen, of Eden Prairie, is commander of the Chanhassen American Legion and the author/craftsman of this distinctive memorial.

Schlangen’s point is that each and every person who has served in the U.S. military during wartime counts.

It doesn’t matter whether they were in hand-to -hand combat, a nswered phones, manned P T boats, cleaned latrines, f lew fighter jets or Black Hawk helicopters, wrote for Stars and Stripes, cooked in the mess hall, went on bombing missions, drove commanders around headquarters, delivered mail or, as they do today, work at a computer somewhere in the Midwest, operating drone missions in Afghanistan and Iraq.

“This honors each and every ser vice member, i ndividually, regardless of where they ser ved, when they ser ved, how they served or why they served,” Schlangen said. “They all gave their lives for a time — some forever.”

His memorial is also an attempt to staunch the number of enlisted and vet suicides.

“Suicide among the enlisted is at an all-time high,” Schlangen said.

Schlangen said according to military estimates, service member suicides occur at a rate of one per day. The suicide rate for all veterans is estimated at 18 per day.

After hearing Major General Larry Shellito, Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs commissioner, speak last year on the suicide rate, Schlangen decided to take action.

“I thought, ‘how do I get this to vets so that they know they’re not alone, that they are part of this huge group of people who’ve served, that they are not anonymous? In order to commit suicide, you feel alone.

I want to show that we’re all in this together.”

“All Wars Veterans’ Memorial” Currently on display at the Chanhassen Library.

Wars/conflicts represented: American Revolutionary War War of 1812 Indian Wars Mexican War Civil War Spanish-American War WWl WWll Korean War Vietnam War Desert Shield/Desert Storm The Global War on Terror

MEANINGFUL MEMORIAL Schlangen conceived the idea to create the book memorial in 2007. That’s when Eden Prairie veterans began planning a Veterans War Memorial for the city. We were brainstorming ideas for what kind of a memorial.

“I started thinking about all the veterans memorials I’ve seen,” Schlangen said. “I kept having a feeling that there was something missing at each one. Some I liked better than others. Some said more than others. Some had more effect on veterans than others.

“The two that I thought had the most profound effect on most everyone were the Vietnam Veterans Wall and the national cemeteries,” Schlangen said. “Both contain something for each and every veteran they represent individually. The wall has a name for each Vietnam veteran killed in combat and the cemeteries have a marker with a veteran’s name for each and every veteran there. That’s great as far as it goes. But what about the rest of us? I wanted

PHOTO BY UNSIE ZUEGE

Chanhassen American Legion Commander Ron Schlangen has built a “book memorial” that honors each and every one of the 43,277,096 U.S. military veterans from the beginning of the American Revolutionary War through July 2007 of the Global War on Terror. The “All Wars Veterans’ Memorial” honors each and every service member, individually, regardless of where they served, when they served, how they served or why they served. “They all gave their lives for a time,” Schlangen said. “Some forever.” something more.”

Schlangen presented his idea to the committee.

“But because I wasn’t sure what form this memorial would take, I couldn’t sell it,” Schlangen said. “If I didn’t know exactly what it was going to be then how could I convince others? The veterans’ memorial moved ahead in another direction.”

But he didn’t abandon his idea.

“One of the things I struggled with was how I was going to represent each veteran individually,” Schlangen said. He searched the Internet for exact numbers and ended up with those from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs — the total — 43 million have served since the Revolutionary War. “Talk about not being alone,” Schlangen said.

He realized what a massive undertaking it would be to put his idea into something tangible.

How would he represent each and every person?

“Would I put up a plywood wall and put one nail in it for each veteran? No. The wood would rot and the nails would rust. Would I put one marble in a concrete wa lkway for each veteran. No. I didn’t want them to be walked on. What if I planted one flower for each veteran? ” With more than 8.7 million veterans from the Vietnam War alone, planting

that many flowers would take time and land.”

He fi nally settled on an avatar, a graphic representation of each individual.

The result, printed on 12,622 pages — both sides — is a virtual representation of the 43 million who have served since the Revolutionary War. Initially, he wanted to post the memorial on a website.

Schlangen has a software background, but he soon realized that Microsoft doesn’t have a program that could support such a massive project. And he realized how frustrating it would be for visitors, to scroll through pages and pages of symbols.

EVERYONE GIVES THEIR LIFE Schlangen points out that of the 8.7 million Vietnam veterans, only half fought but all of them are veterans.

“To me they’re all part of it,” Schalangen said, himself a Vietnam vet who served as an MP. “One of the issues I sense in conversations with vets now is how our experiences vary from one extreme to another.

“Like my brother-in-law. He was a tunnel rat in Vietnam.

There are things you saw that you don’t share with anyone else but another tunnel rat. You don’t share those stories with the general public.

“The other extreme is the ones who served at the same

time in Europe, Hawaii and never got in theater. They’re almost embarrassed to say they served.

“You have to remember that when the Vietnam vets and to some extent the Korean War vets, returned, they were treated very differently from those from previous wars.

“When I saw the Vietnam Wall, I still felt a void, as a vet myself,” Schlangen said. “We honor the dead as heroes; and those in combat as heroes. I think everyone who signs up should be counted. When you sign up for the military, you sign your life to them. They use you as they see fit. You do give your life. Some don’t get it back.

But everybody counts.”

Schlangen hopes that providing a concrete representation of the enormous brother and sisterhood of being a U.S. military veteran will help reduce the suicides.

“Here’s a story,” Schlangen said. “I brought the book to the Eden Prairie Veterans memorial groundbreaking ceremony in 2007 so everyone could look at it. I noticed one man walked up, but then just walked away.

“Throughout the construction of the memorial, I would visit the site and take photos to document the progress. One day, a man walked up to me and just started talking. He wanted to know what caused me to build the book. He’d seen

“I told him I wanted to let vets know everyone counts and I want to stop the suicides,” Schlangen said. “And I said I recognized him, that he walked up then just walked away. ‘It was too emotional,’ he said. And then he told me he had attempted suicide years ago. This was the first time he could ever tell anyone. He just started bawling. It was such a release for him.

“How do I get this to all the vets?” Schlangen said. “I want vets to see this and realize, ‘I am not alone.’ You do suicide when you feel isolated,” Schlangen said. “I wish I could take this memorial to every Legion in the country.”

Area veteran to receive France’s highest honor E.P. man to receive Legion of Honor

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.”

BY KARLA WENNERSTROM editor@edenprairienews.com

John Teman, 91, remembers the night before D-Day, June 6, 1944, in Normandy, France.

“I remember taking off that night,” Teman said last week.

“We got in our planes at midnight.”

Teman was the pilot of a transport plane, flying through flak to drop paratroopers in strategic spots behind enemy lines.

“I wasn’t really scared,” Teman said in a 1994 interview.

“I was just flying them in. …

They were the ones that had the tough jobs. They and the ones who went ashore from the water.”

Then he and his crew headed back to England, “hit our bunks and went to sleep.”

He said he was asleep by the time the troops hit the beach.

The Legion of Honor has been given to many foreign veterans who were part of the liberation of France. Some Legion of Honor awardees from the United States include Julia Child, Walt Disney, Jerry Lewis and Audie Murphy.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

At left – 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.”

ald G. Pellinen of Livermore, Calif., read a story about another World War II veteran who was set to receive the Legion of Honor, he submitted his uncle’s name for consideration.

“I read the article and basi-

cally it said that they were awarding the Legion of Honor to veterans of the Second World War who fought in France,” Pellinen said.

“Teman was a pilot in World War II who was in all the major

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 group commander, Col. Young, 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 airborne drop, Col. Young 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.”

LEGION OF HONOR When Teman’s nephew Don-

battles in Europe, especially in France. He dropped paratroopers into Normandy and towed a glider with troops into Arnem.

Lt. Teman repeatedly flew missions dropping supplies to the troops trapped at the Battle of the Bulge. Lt. Teman was awarded the Croix de Guerre twice by the Republic of France during and immediately after the war,” Pellinen wrote.

Teman was accepted in October to receive the Legion of Honor from the government of France for aiding in the liberation of France from the Nazis in WWII, Pellinen wrote.

‘GREATEST GENERATION’ Teman grew up in Duluth.

A f t er Pe a rl H a rb or, he said, “The enlistment line ran around the block.”

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.

‘I’M PROUD OF THAT’ 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.

Teman received seven 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.”

Happy Thanksgiving!

The Pilgrims had few choices of foods when they sailed to America on the Mayflower. There was salted beef, pork, fish and hardtack, a dry biscuit. It is thought that they had dried peas, beans, cheese and some butter, too. They had some fresh water when they started out, but it didn't take long for it to spoil.

‘Will Rogers’ in Chaska on Dec. 8

BUSINESS NEWS

PERSCHMANN CHASKA LIBRARY

Can you believe it? America’s favorite humorist of the 1920s and 1930s will be on stage at the Chaska Community Center, 7 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 8.

Will Rogers still ranks as one of this country’s most universally loved entertainers and speakers. You may remember him best for saying, “I never met a man I didn’t like.” and “All I know is what I read in the newspaper.”

Rogers grew up on a ranch in Indian Territory, now the state of Oklahoma. He never lost his love for the land. Even though Rogers died in 1935, his legacy lives on through Randall Reeder.

Reeder blends Will’s comments from the early 1900s with commentary on the news today.

Will and Charles Lindbergh were good friends. Will often visited Minnesota, wrote about the state, and joked about the “feud” between Minneapolis and St. Paul.

At the show, you’ll see historical photos of Will Rogers with prominent friends and scenes of his boyhood home, both then and now – plus a few surprises.

In addition to speaking as “Will Rogers Today,” Randall writes a ‘Weekly Comments’ column which is published on his web ite, www.WillRogersToday.com.

Randall was on the faculty at Ohio State University in the Department of Food, Agricultural and Biological Engineering for 32 years. He is a member of several organizations including the National Speakers Association and Farm Bureau. The event is funded by Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. The Chaska Community Center is located at 1661 Park Ridge Drive.

REVIEW “Operation Napoleon,” by Arnaldrur Indridason This new thriller set in Iceland on the Vatnajokull glacier begins when a strange plane crashes there in 1945. Two brothers on a remote farm see the plane coming in low during a terrible winter storm.

A rescue mission was begun immediately after the storm ended, but no traces of the plane or passengers were found. The U.S. has been keeping an eye on the glacier ever since. New satellite technology has shown a dark patch – it turns out to be part of the plane’s tail – and a new secret expedition is formed, headed by the sociopath Ratoff.

A search and rescue team is out practicing on the glacier when two young Icelanders come across the armed solders digging out the plane.

Elias was on the phone to his sister when they are caught, telling her what he has seen.

He and his companion are tortured and eventually thrown into a crevasse with their snowmobiles – and Ratoff learns all about Elias’ sister, Kristin.

Almost immediately two assassins are sent after Kristin in her Rekjavik apartment.

What chance would a young attorney who works for the ministry have against two professionals?

What on earth are the Americans so desperate to conceal and retrieve – is it the passengers? Gold? Or some sort of terrible weapon?
