For over the last decade, Chaska has eyed the south-west corner of the city for development potential.

It’s an area that carries with it the promise to attract both new residents (in the “Heights of

Chaska” development) and new jobs (in the adjacent Biotech Center).

But growth and development have been slow to come, thanks largely to the economic downturn and subse-quent housing slump.

Chaska is hopeful that wil l change soon as city staff reviews development applications for the Heights of Chaska and works to-ward a new interchange at Highway 212 and County Road 140.

“Southwest Chaska is where most of the growth is planned today,” said Kevin Ringwald, Chaska director of planning and development.

On Feb. 15, members of the Chas-ka City Council and the Chaska

Planning Commission met in a joint work session to consider how the original plans for the 1,000-acre Heights of Chaska and the 800-acre Biotech Center have been impacted over the last 10 years.

“Way too many things have changed to say go forward with [the original plans],” said Chaska City Administrator Matt Podhradsky.

The impetus for the meeting came from both a proposed development that would extend north of the exist-ing Chaska Highlands neighborhood as well as the Minnesota Depart-ment of Transportation’s (MnDOT)

Four years ago, as members of the city’s largest homeowner’s as-sociation gathered for their annual meeting, Mike Sibley made a sur-prise motion to successfully remove members from the Jonathan Associa-tion board.

Last Tuesday night, Jason Holt performed a similar coup, the results of which are still being debated.

It was a raucous end to a long meeting dogged by procedural ques-tions and confusion. After nearly four hours with little forward prog-ress, and a motion by Holt to oust the entire board, Board President Nate Bostrom attempted to bring the annual meeting to an abrupt end at the advice of the associa-tion’s attorney.

“We consulted our attorney,” Bostrom told the crowd gathered for the Feb. 21 meeting at Chaska City Hall. “The meeting is done, it is adjourned based on his legal advice. We’re done, we’re adjourned.”

But Holt and a small contingent of three, with vote proxies in hand, continued to meet outside in front of City Hall, believing that the meeting had not been properly adjourned. (Holt, a resident of Clover Condomini-ums, is currently party to a lawsuit against the association asking for a legal determination as to whether or not Clover Ridge was properly an-nexed into Jonathan. He could not be reached for comment.)

“We congregated outside in the cold,” noted Holt’s lawyer Jordan

After just two years of competi-tion and one league title, Chaska/Chanhassen girls hockey’s relation-ship with the Missota Conference is over.

Chaska Assistant Principal/Activities Director Troy Stein re-quested approval from the Missota Conference Athletic Directors in early February to continue with the merged program, but was denied by a 6-2 vote.

With Section 2AA approving the co-op by a 9-1 vote, Stein and Chanhassen Assistant Principal/Athletic Director Dick Ungar decided it was best to remain as one team for the 2012-13 season rather than split. The Minnesota State High School League was in agreement of the co-op as an independent for next season.

Since joining the Missota Con-ference last season, the Storm Hawks have posted a 20-3-1 record in league play, including an 11-0-1 mark this season. The conference title was the program’s first since it

On this date in history, the Herald reported:

March 1, 1928: English Lenten service was well attended at St. John’s on Sunday morning. After the service, the congregation gathered about a handsome new Oldsmobile car, which the members of the congregation had purchased for the Rev. Otto Kohn to be used in the service of the congregation and for his recreation and convenience.

March 2, 1911: “The last hope has gone glimmering. Since my last letter the legislators have either been in State’s prison or in the insane asylum at Fergus Falls from which institution they have escaped and are now doing business again at the old stand. Woe unto the people.”

March 3, 1938: Herald reports a new basketball tradition between Waconia and Chaska High School came into existence Friday night when a little brown

jug was presented on behalf of the Waconia Patriot and Chaska Herald sports writers. The fi ve-gallon jug will remain in Waconia’s possession until Chaska wins an inter-city series.

March 4, 1886: The Masquerade Ball given by the Hose Company boys was a complete success and a brilliant aff air. The masks were numerous and costly. The boys cleared about $75, which will help them greatly in purchasing uniforms.

March 5, 1885: Our public school building is in dangerous condition and quite likely to tumble down as soon as the frost commences to get out of the ground and parents are withdrawing their children from school. Life should not be endangered for a few months schooling.

March 6, 1930: Talkies prove to be fi ne in Rex Theater. Projection and reproduction now perfect.

With the unveiling of new state legislative districts, poli-ticians are already angling to fill two new seats coming to Carver County.

The city of Chanhassen is at the epicenter of the redistrict-ing shuffle in Carver County, with the northwest portion of the city — bordered by High-way 41 on the west and High-way 5 on the south — being shifted into Senate District 33 and House District 33B.

Current Republican state office holders, Rep. Joe Hoppe, of Chaska, Rep. Ernie Leider of Mayer, and Sen. Julianne Ortman, of Chanhassen, will be in Senate District 47 and House districts 47A and B.

Republican Rep. Steve Smith of Mound said he plans to seek re-election in the new House 33B district.

Smith is the most senior Re-publican in the House, having served for 22 years.

Republican Sen. Gen Olsen, of Minnetrista, who has served in the state Legislature since 1982, is not seeking re-election in the new Senate district.

However, two Republicans have already announced they

will be vying to fill the Senate seat. They are current state Rep. Connie Doepke, of Orono, and David Osmek, a Republi-can state delegate and member of the Mound City Council.

Richard Donnay, DFL Par-ty chair in the county, said no DFL candidates have of-ficially announced plans for pursuing state seats.

The official filing period for state offices doesn’t open until May.

As a result of the redistrict-ing, local party officials are busy coming to terms with the new districts and where delegates will need to go to participate in upcoming conventions. The new U.S. Congressional boundaries split the county between U.S. District 3 (currently occupied by Republican Erik Paulsen) and U.S. District 6 (with incumbent Michele Bachmann). The new District 6 covers the western portion of Carver County.

The new districts will pres-ent a challenge for local party activists.

“It does complicate life im-mensely have Carver County carved up in so many different ways,” said Republican Par-ty Chairman Steve Nielsen. “Sure it gives our county more representation that the popu-

The District 112 School Board has approved docu-mentation, required by the state, to go ahead with large maintenance projects.

District officials will sub-mit the documentation to the Minnesota Department of Education. Once approved, the district will sell $10 million in bonds to pay for the first three years of its 10-year “Alterna-tive Facility Project” plan.

The money would cover maintenance projects on all cur-rent district facilities over the

2013-15 fiscal years, including nearly $1.5 million to replace sections of the roof at Bluff Creek Elementary, Chaska High School and Chaska Middle School East. It would also pro-vide approximately $250,000 to renovate the District Education center HVAC system.

The board also authorized district officials to seek con-struction bids on four main-tenance projects. Three of the projects involve original portions of the Chaska High School site, including tennis court reconstruction, track and field event area resurface and parking lot renovation.

A fourth project would be to renovate the District Educa-tion Center parking lot.

District officials plan to choose contractors by March or April and construction would proceed during the sum-mer months.

ADJUSTMENTS

The board has also approved a set of budget adjustments for the 2012 fiscal year, all on the expense side.

The new expenses total ap-proximately $264,000 and in-clude a $176,000 increase to the Debt Service Fund and $62,641 for radio systems at all the

district buildings. The board previously approved other 2012 fiscal year budget adjustments last fall, which increased the projected 2012 fund balance by nearly $400,000.

Increases in revenues, ap-proximately $ 925,298, were from a $40 increase in the general education formula compared to the origi-nal budget and federal program entitlements and carryovers.

E x p end it u r e s a l s o i n -creased, but only by approxi-mately $525,840. Reasons in-clude similar federal program adjustments and individual site carryovers.

School board proceeds with bond plan

A new noontime lecture/discussion series is highlight-ing the botanical “jewels” in the collection at the Andersen Horticultural Library at the Minnesota Landscape Arbo-retum.

The new “Inside the Collec-tion” series is open to the pub-lic. The fee per session is $7.50 for Arboretum members or $10 for non-members. To reg-ister, visit www.arboretum.umn.edu/artsdesigncrafts.a spx or e -m a i l A rbE du @umn.edu.

Grow Minnesota! is a win-ner in the inaugural Progress Minnesota awards sponsored by Finance & Commerce. The subsidiary program of the Min-nesota Chamber is conducted with 57 local partners state-wide, including the SouthWest Metro Chamber of Commerce. The private-sector initiative is in its ninth year and focuses on business retention and job creation.

The award recognizes in-dividuals, companies and as-sociations that are driving business and industrial growth and development in the Twin Cities and Minnesota. Grow Minnesota! and other Progress Minnesota winners will be formally recognized April 11.

“We share this award with our 57 local partners across the state,” said Bill Blazar, senior vice president of public affairs and business development at the Minnesota Chamber. “They

are at the foundation of our successes.”

More than 400 business vol-unteers assisted staff at local chambers of commerce and private-sector economic de-velopment organizations in conducting nearly 1,000 one-on-one conversations with owners or top management of companies as part of Grow Min-nesota! year Grow Minnesota! provided one-on-one assistance to 122 firms that resulted in protecting 4,900 jobs, according to a SouthWest chamber press release.

“The Minnesota Chamber truly has a two-pronged strat-egy for building the state’s economy,” Blazar said. “We’re still working to strengthen the statewide business climate.”

he wasn’t pleased with the splitting of the state districts in Chanhassen.

“I thought they were going to preserve communities of interest,” Donnay said. “It’s an-noying and a frustrating thing to deal with.”

Representatives from both parties didn’t think the redis-

tricting would have a signifi-cant effect on whether districts would tilt one way or another politically.

“I don’t think the new [state] districts change the math a whole lot,” said Sean Olsen, a Chaska resident, who writes the left-leaning “Brick City Blog.” “For a Democrat to be competitive, it will take a well organized candidate.”

On Feb. 18 the Bountiful Basket Food Shelf of Eastern Carver County moved to its new location at 1600 Bavaria Road in Chaska.

Thanks goes out to the many individuals, young and old alike, that helped with the morning move. A special note of appreciation to Cooper’s, Appliance Service and the Chaska Public Works Department for their assistance with the move.

The Bountiful Basket Food Shelf serves individuals and families who are in need of food assistance from the communities of Carver, Chanhassen, Chaska, Victoria and adjacent townships. The food shelf is 100 percent volunteer managed and operated and has been in operation since 2007. At the present time over 60 individuals give freely of their time to assist in helping customers.

It seems appropriate that the food shelf move to its permanent home coincided with the start of a new Lenten season. All food shelves are dependent on the caring and giving nature of individuals, churches, businesses, and organizations who believe that any measurement of our communities success is predicated in part on what we do to help our neighbors and friends who are in need.

In January of 2012 over 26,000 pounds of food was distributed to over 1,200 individuals. On the first day of operation at the new site over 30 families were assisted with 11 being first time visitors. The need is there and it is not lessening.

Minnesota Food Share facts show that in 2010 that there were more than three million visits to Minnesota food shelves. There are many measures that reflect the impact of hunger and poverty in the state of Minnesota.

From 2008 to 2012, visits to food shelves increased by 62 percent statewide and 39 percent of these visits were for children under 18 and 9 percent for the elderly.

Minnesota Food Share is a program of the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches and it has conducted its food drive in March of each year for almost three decades. In 2010 the campaign raised 4.6 million pounds of food and $7.4 million with 100 percent of the cash going to purchase at Minnesota food shelves.

The Bountiful Basket is

encouraging area churches, corporations and organizations to be a part of this year’s campaign. The more food and cash generated locally the more it will increase the amount of cash shared by Minnesota Food Share with Bountiful Basket.

Typically, food shelves can make a dollar stretch further than any individual dollar at a food store. If your business or group would like to be a part of this year’s Minnesota Food Share effort as it will benefit the Bountiful Basket please call (952) 556-0244 or simply drop off food at the site or checks made payable to “Bountiful Basket.”

As the Bountiful Basket moves forward in 2012 we are looking at creating a community garden on site, expanding our open hours to the first and third Saturday mornings of each month, exploring transportation routes to those who are in need, and involving more volunteers in all aspects of meeting our mission.

If you have an interest in helping or in learning more about what we do to help build community and to assist those in need please stop in and visit or call (952) 556-0244 or visit us online at www.bountifulbasketfoodshelf.org.

Thank you for caring.Tom Redman is chairman of the

TREES

Don’t forget to bring your oxygen tank

I am a former resident of Chaska and was appalled to read that Chaska will be redoing some streets and will be removing 90 percent of the trees (“Different streets slated for recon-struction,” Feb. 9).

Your council may be “movers,” but they are not “thinkers”! Are they aware that trees produce oxy-gen? I think you need a woman on your council to slow you down and rethink your projects.

A Chinese citizen was recently quoted in the Wall Street Journal: “‘I like China a lot. But if I have kids. I wouldn’t necessarily want them to live in China.’ ... And yet, while the party touts the economic success of the “Chinese model,” many of its poster children are heading for the exits. They are in search of things money can’t buy in China: Cleaner air, safer food, better education for their children. Some also express concern about government corrup-tion and the safety of their assets.”

Did you notice that the first rea-son they wanted to emigrate was for cleaner air? Do you realize that in the summer the trees make your sum-mer cooler and the winters warmer? Chaska is unique, why try to remake it? Think about these things!

My advice to you is to go back to the drawing board or prepare a billboard reading: “Come to Chaska — Don’t forget your oxygen tank.”

I appreciate that Sen. Ortman took the time to write to her constitu-ents in defense of vetoed legislation that she co-sponsored (“Reform would offer more affordable judicial system,” Feb. 23).

This type of communication is valuable and essential between legislators and constituents. Un-fortunately, she did leave out a few important details.

The four bills that Sen. Ortman and her fellow Republicans sent to Gov. Dayton are actually bills pulled directly from a manual produced by a national organization that is funded by America’s largest corporations.

The American Legislative Ex-change Council (ALEC) is a highly secretive corporate front group that works to pass corporate-friendly bills in state legislatures. The bot-tom line is that these bills would have restricted the rights of citizens and made it harder to hold big cor-porations responsible — great for

big business but bad for you and me.My expectation for our legislature

is that they will write their own bills based upon the actual needs of Min-nesotans. I would suggest some real attempts to put Minnesotans back to work, invest in the future of our state and to strengthen rather than destroy the middle class.

GRIEP PARK

Playground will help kids, property values

Chaska is a great community to live in, and part of that attraction is the commitment to building gre-enways, parks and playgrounds in the city. Residents can see that com-mitment in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, and I would like to note my appreciation to the Parks Board for continuing to enrich our neighbor-hoods.

For some time, many residents around Griep Park have been wait-ing for the city to further develop this neighborhood park; looks like we are finally getting our wish.

Griep Park has been identified as a Neighborhood Park in the 2030 plan for well over a decade. Designated as a neighborhood park, its development

REDMANGUEST COMMENTARY

In February, we as a nation celebrated the life and legacy of many African-Americans who are being recognized for the remarkable contributions they gave to this society.

It started in 1926 as the “Negro History Week” then the name changed to “Black History Month.”

The person whom we should be grateful for “Black History Month” is Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a Harvard graduate whose parents were slaves.

NEW FINDINGS

New findings each year add to the national collection of black history. The public contribute their artifacts and memorabilia to honor those who went unrecognized during their time.

With this great undertaking come sad yet memorable stories that educate the American public, especially our children.

A recently published children’s book by the great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (“What Color is My World), portrays the history of African American inventors such as Valerie Thomas who invented the 3D process used in our movies today.

It is very beneficial that every American makes an effort to learn about our American history, whether good or bad, African-American or other sub-cultures of our diverse country.

We need to ensure that diversity is valued and promoted in our academic institutions, religious organizations, communities and workplaces across America.

BLACK HISTORY

The first ship which landed on the shores of Virginia in 1619 brought 100 Africans as slaves to the Unites States. From that period to the 1850s the number of Africans brought to this country reached to nearly 13 million.

Slaves worked on plantations and became “The Help” of many wealthy Americans. Even public officials such as Thomas Jefferson and the first president of the United States, George Washington, had slaves.

This year, the exhibit of Thomas Jefferson as a slave owner opened to the public at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C.

Black history includes numerous contributions, inventions, innovations, and masterpieces of art and poetry by many African-Americans.

The passionate contributions of many black intellectuals who fought for justice and equality need to be praised and remembered. One example is Fredrick Douglass, an American social reformer and the leader of the abolitionist movement who was a slave himself. He escaped from slavery and firmly stood against those who believed that “...slaves did not have the intellectual capacity to function as independent American citizens.” Many people from the northern states could not believe that such an exuberant orator was a slave!

The list of African American writers, poets, and inventors is a long one. Particularly, for this month of celebration, my special tribute goes to these remarkable poets:

Phillis Wheatley (1753-1784): “Poems on Various Subjects, Religion and Moral”

Claude McKay (1889-1948): “Sounds of Jamaica”

Langston Hughes (1902-1967): “Let America Be America Again,”

Maya Angelou (1921-present): “I Know why the Caged Bird Sings”

FREEDOM AND OPPORTUNITY

From President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 to 1896, black people were free, yet had limited opportunity to mingle with other American citizens — predominantly white. This period is well known as Jim Crow era, where practically the U.S. was a lawless society.

When we think about Civil

Rights movement in America, we realize that almost after every national law (Supreme Court decisions), the American public did not have a speedy reaction. It was a lingering process to see everyone is abiding by the law.

In 1954 the “Brown vs. Board of Education” ruling toppled “Plessey vs. Ferguson” (“Separate, but Equal” of 1896). It was the beginning of access by law and residual freedom for African-Americans in this country. The incident of 1957 is a good support for this argument. Nine black students, called “The Little Rock Nine,” were prevented from enrolling in Little Rock Central High School, until the president intervened — and that was three years after Brown vs. Board of Education ruling.

In 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered the famous speech (“I Have a Dream”) which gave way to Civil Rights historical progress. On July 2, 1964 the Civil Right Act was signed into law; yet in 1965, several African-Americans, during a silent demonstration, were killed by police in Selma, Ala., known as “Bloody Sunday.”

Speaking to the graduating class of 1965 at Howard University in Washington, D.C., President Lyndon Johnson said: “We seek not just legal equity, but human ability, not just equality as a right and a theory, but equality as a fact and equality as a result.”

This proclamation should have ensured opportunity for all

Americans regardless of race and ethnicity.

FOSTERING CULTURE

Black history is American history. Learning about the Civil Rights movement, the contributions and the history of black America is fascinating and growing every year.

The media, especially the television industry, brings remarkable pieces of our history into our homes every day.

Every month we have a reason to recognize our diverse nation through celebrations such as Black History Month and Native American History Month.

It is imperative to educate our new generations about the history, cultures and traditions of our many types of American people.

We should remember the stories from Ellis Island and how Europeans, Asians, Hispanics and others came to this land of opportunity.

Finding out how all these ethnicities joined together to live and work in this society, gives us many reasons to celebrate our history and cultural backgrounds. By promoting history and culture in America, we tell the world that diversity unites us; it by no means divides us!

Selection and Value!

will provide a centrally located, safe and convenient area for ac-tive recreation and a place for local residents to meet. Many are excited to finally have a park and playground, easily ac-cessible by foot or bike, without having to cross either Highway 41 or the equally busy Engler Boulevard. Connected to the existing network of trails, our new park will help connect families within and between local neighborhoods.

Those who have attended the first couple planning meetings are starting to see the unique opportunities and the positive outcomes. With such a large wooded area in Griep Park, residents will have access to both dense woods and open park spaces. Starting with a wooded lot provides the oppor-tunity to create an open space with a large number of mature trees. Providing both dense woods and open spaces offers something for everyone.

Children in the neighbor-hood are starting to get excited about having somewhere to play together and many par-ents about having a safe and local playground. The types of playground equipment we have been discussing are engineered for safety and beyond what most families can afford.

With a neighborhood park, we will have a better chance to get kids out of their houses, off their Playstations, and build-ing friendships. Encouraging kids to socialize and be active outside is something we need to support and neighborhood parks can do exactly that.

Lastly, the development of Griep Park will provide an important asset to local home-owners. At a time when prop-erty values are distressed and the district has an excess of homes on the market, all of the published studies agree that a neighborhood park within one-quarter mile has a positive influence.

Neighborhood parks not only positively influence the rate of appreciation, but also the relative home values (com-pared to others without parks) and the attractiveness of homes to prospective buyers. Ask someone trying to sell a home and you will see that one of the first questions young families ask is “Where is the park?” Our chance to build a unique neighborhood park will not only be great for kids, but also help homeowners build back some equity lost over the last four years of the economic downturn.

Thanks again to the Chaska Park Board for your commit-ment to parks development and for following through on the development of the neighbor-hood park in our area.

LETTERS� continued from A4

BY DEANE MORRISON

In March we get to watch as four planets group into two pairs. Three of the planets are in the sky and one is right under our feet.

Mars reaches opposition on the 3rd, the day Earth passes it and it appears directly opposite the sun. The Red Planet will be up all night, burning its ruddy fire below the belly of Leo, the lion. The bright star west of Mars is Regulus, the brightest in Leo.

On the 5th, Mars will sweep closest to Earth and shine at maximum brightness for this visit. If it seems strange that our two worlds make their closest approach after Earth has lapped Mars, remember that both orbits are noncircular, with points of perihelion and aphelion when the planets are nearest and farthest, respectively, from the sun. Earth is heading out toward aphelion while Mars, having passed its aphelion in February, is now closing in. These motions continue to bring our two planets closer until two days after Earth has left the Red Planet behind.

Unfortunately, being so near aphelion means Mars won’t come nearly as close as it did in 2003, when its

opposition and perihelion fell only two days apart. This time it will be about 63 million miles away, compared to only 35 million miles in 2003.

Also in Mars news, recent data from the European Space Agency’s Mars Express probe suggests that a large ocean once covered the planet’s northern plains. The probe’s radar picked up evidence of marine-like sediments in locations already suspected to have been ancient shorelines. Researchers speculate that the ocean enjoyed a rather brief life some 3 billion years ago.

The second planetary pairing happens on the 13th, when Jupiter drops past Venus on its way down into the sun’s afterglow. The king and queen of planets come within three degrees of each other, then separate as Jupiter continues its freefall.

On the 25th, a thin crescent moon comes out close to Jupiter. The next night, a slightly fatter lunar crescent appears next to Venus, just as the brilliant planet reaches its highest point before beginning a dramatic fall. With the Pleiades star cluster hovering just a few degrees above Venus, this is a night to

grab your binoculars.Saturn is well up in the

east by midnight all month. Just southwest of the ringed planet is its companion, the bright star Spica in Virgo. Above and left of the pair is Arcturus, the brightest star in Bootes, while Mars shines high to their upper right.

Algonquin tribes called the full moon of March the worm moon, for the casts of earthworms that now begin to appear on the softening earth. In more northerly areas, it was known as the crow moon, for the cawing of these feisty birds, or the crust moon, because during this season snow acquires a crust from cycles of melting and refreezing. This year it rises the night of the 7th and reaches perfect fullness at 3:39 a.m. on the 8th.

High in the south during

the evening is Procyon, the brightest star in Canis Minor, the smaller of Orion’s hunting dogs. Procyon is actually a double star consisting of a star twice as wide as the sun and nearly seven times as bright and a white dwarf star that packs about 60 percent of the sun’s mass into an orb smaller than Earth. Procyon isn’t especially bright; it just looks that way because it’s only about 11.5 light-years from Earth.

Procyon forms one point of the Winter Triangle of stars. The other points are Sirius — below Procyon and only 9 light-years away — and the gigantic red star Betelgeuse, which forms Orion’s northeast shoulder and burns brightly despite being some 600 light-years away.

Spring arrives with the vernal equinox at 12:14 a.m. on the 20th. At that moment the sun crosses over the equator into the northern sky and the Earth — the other side of it, of course — will be lighted from pole to pole.

STARWATCH

tors serving under his leader-ship. We appreciate the work and the energy these people have put into making Jonathan the great place to live that it was intended to be.

Jonathan has so many ame-nities. Mr. Bostrum and his board have worked with the Gassen Company to put in place a financial plan, with a long-term outlook, that will protect the Jonathan amenities.

During the past few years our informative newsletter is back. We again have activities, on special days, provided for children and for families and this opportunity to meet many neighbors is important for life in these stressful times.

Our trails and open spaces are again being cared for in a planned way. We appreciate all this. Besides our often men-tioned amenities, there is also the grim reality of today’s real estate market. It’s important that we maintain our property values. To be cost effective is to work together.

Paying our dues and working with, not against, our Jonathan Board is our best value toward keeping our real estate values from becoming more depressed before the market improves.

We urge support and clear thinking while pondering the challenges of Jonathan, or any place one might call home.

MILITARY

Another surprise for local soldier

As grandparents of Kelly Collins, we want to thank you ever so much for your help

in making her homecoming from Afghanistan a memorable event (“Local soldier returns from Afghanistan, surprises dad,” Feb. 16).

Her boyfriend was also home on leave from Afghanistan, and at Toby Keith’s restaurant after the music stopped, on bended knee on the dance f loor, he flipped open a small box, and proposed.

A gala event to say the least. Happiness all around.

She left for an air base in Afghanistan on Saturday, Feb. 18, and will be there until her one-year deployment is sat-isfied. Whereupon she then returns to Fort Hood, Texas, her home base. Her eventual goal is to be a civilian air traf-fic control operator, when she departs from the service, which she is currently doing in the military. Thank you again for your kindness.

VOTER ID

Do something before it’s too late

I am writing in response to the letter writer that stated that we do not have a voter fraud issue (“We do not have a voter fraud issue,” Feb. 16). He states it as if the information in his letter is fact, when in reality; it is at best only assumptions on his part!

Assumption No. 1: The fact is there is no way he can “know” that we do not have a voter fraud problem anymore than I can “know” there is a problem.

There is one thing we all should know and that is we have somewhere between 12

million and 20 million illegal residents and many millions more of legal non-citizen resi-dents in the U.S. and that num-ber continues to grow.

I am sure that no U.S. citi-zen wants non-citizens voting and deciding who our elected representatives are at any level of government, local, state or federal.

Yes, we do want and need to keep the “wrong” voters out of the process as he states, but it is the non-citizens we want kept out, not the citizens that he listed.

It was not long ago that we heard nothing about identity theft, and now almost every news report has a story about it? Now the federal government and most states are trying to catch up with legislation and laws to combat that issue. Why not get ahead of this voter fraud issue instead of waiting until it is too late. Why should we wait until we have such a massive voter fraud problem that even those on the left can recognize it?

Assumption No. 2: He be-lieves the poor won’t be able to vote because they won’t invest money in a photo I.D. Lack of money will not be an issue for the poor, since the current pro-posed bill in Minnesota would provide “free” voter identifi-cation to those that can prove their citizenship.

Assumption No. 3: Appar-ently he believes that all of the people he categorizes as poor, elderly and young will be “overwhelmed by the process of getting another I.D. card” and those three groups also only vote for the Democrats. I belong to one of those groups and know many people in all three, and I can tell you for sure they do not all vote Democratic. Plus, I think very few things can “overwhelm” the young people of today.

As for the poor and elderly, if they do not have a photo I.D.,I would think that the same friends, family or organiza-tions that get them to the polls would be able to assist them in obtaining their I.D.

Think about this: We didn’t used to have a gang problem, now we do. We didn’t used to have a drug problem, now we do. Let us do something now about this voter fraud issue in the state of Minnesota before it gets so out of control that the left can finally see it but it is too late to fix the problem!

SHERIFF REPORT

PUBLIC SAFETY

Learn about fl ood risk at open house

Representatives from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emer-gency Management Agency (FEMA), in conjunction with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, will host a Flood Risk Information Open House on Thursday, March 8, 2012, from 4:30 p.m. to 6 :30 p.m. in the Carver County Emergency Opera-tions Center, located in the Carver County Government Center at 604 East 4th Street, Chaska.

The open house will pro-vide Carver County residents with an opportunity to review a recently completed prelimi-nary Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and its accompanying preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs).

The FIS and the FIRMs provide base flood informa-tion, delineate areas subject to significant flood hazards within the county, and offer information public officials may use when permitting development in the floodplain.

The open house will be

staffed with representatives from various local, state and federal agencies who will pro-vide the most current infor-mation about flood risk, flood insurance, floodplain develop-ment regulations, and the pro-cess for floodplain mapping within Carver County.

The newly prepared pre-liminary f loodplain maps will be on display. Once the maps become effective, these maps will be used by flood-plain permit officials, build-ers and developers, lenders, realtors, insurance agents and the general public to de-termine f lood risk, develop mitigation measures, and en-courage wise and responsible risk management decision-making.

Property owners, realtors, lenders and insurance agents are urged to attend and take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about flood risk and hazard mitigation within their community.

For more information, contact John Devine, FEMA Region V Program Special-ist, at (312) 408-5567 or Marge Dworak, FEMA Re-gion V Outreach Specialist, at (312) 408-5527.

Gall, who said that they were “forced” outside by Bostrom because the room rental was set to expire — a move he called “disconcerting.”

It was there that the group made several motions, most notably one to remove eight of the association’s nine direc-tors including Bostrom, David Snodgrass, Linda Frey, Mark Perry, Matt Poppler, Kristin Alcindor, Nancy Dilks and Kelli Snapp. Brandon Maves was initially left as the sole director on the board.

The group also moved to nominate to the board sev-eral members sympathetic to neighborhoods wanting out of the association. Five of those nominated — Dan Navratil, Cal Kuhlman, Daniel Weber, Tom Davis and Joseph Niedert were among the group ousted from the board back in 2008.

David Rome and Debbie Boe (who was among three direc-tors to remain on the board in 2008) were also nominated Tuesday night. Nominations were followed by an imme-diate secret ballot election, the results of which were forwarded to the association’s management company, Gall said.

Boe said she had no idea about her nomination until she read about it on the newspaper’s website. “While not opposed to serving on the Jonathan As-sociation Board of Directors, I was not aware of my name be-ing presented until I read it in the Chaska Herald,” she wrote in an e-mail. “I had no idea this was coming. I, along with oth-ers, will be waiting to see how this all unfolds.”

Boe was among those who spoke against the purge when it happened in 2008. At that time she said, “It sets a very bad precedent, because at the next annual meeting next year, we’ll have someone else come in and throw out [another] person.”

LEGAL OPINION

David Hellmuth, attorney for the Jonathan Association, reviewed the footage from the meeting inside City Hall, as well as audio from the meeting outside of City Hall, and issued a legal memorandum with his opinion to association mem-bers Monday evening.

What happened?Jonathan Association, the state’s largest homeowner’s association, encompasses almost 8,000 Chaska residents in 3,000 households spread across 23 neighborhoods. In 2011, the association collected approximately $230 from each Jonathan homeowner and budgeted for $734,776 in revenue. It has over $1.2 million in assets.

Jason Holt, a resident of Clover Condominiums who questions the legitimacy of his Jonathan membership and is involved in a lawsuit against the association, made a motion to remove eight of Jonathan’s nine directors at annual meeting Feb. 21. The directors include: Nate Bostrom, David Snodgrass, Linda Frey, Mark Perry, Matt Poppler, Kristin Alcindor, Nancy Dilks and Kelli Snapp. Holt later motioned to also remove the ninth member Brandon Maves. Holt cited Jonathan bylaws.

Jonathan bylaws Article 5, Section 3: “Any director may be removed from the Board, with or without cause, by a majority vote of the members of the Association voting thereon at a duly called meeting of the Association. In the event of death, resignation or removal of a director, his or her successor shall be selected by the remaining members of the Board and shall serve for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor.”

The motion to remove directors, which needed a majority of those present, was passed with a voice vote of 4-0. Holt’s lawyer Jordan Gall indicated that the group also had 32 proxy votes from a variety of homeowners including some in Autumn Woods, Carvers Green and Water’s Edge.

Jonathan attorney David Hellmuth verifi ed the legality of the move on Monday evening. However, Hellmuth believes that the group’s subsequent attempt to conduct an election was invalid because at the time, Maves remained the sole member of the board and he alone would have had the authority to fi ll the vacant seats. Attorney Jordan Gall contends that the election was valid and held for three open board seats.

JONATHAN� continued from A1

Hellmuth concluded that the meeting inside City Hall was never properly adjourned and that the motion made outside to remove the eight board mem-bers was valid. However, Hell-muth notes that the subsequent attempt to elect new board members could not be carried out by the group because there was still one director left on the board and, under the asso-ciation’s bylaws, that director would have the sole authority to fill the vacant seats.

“I believe that the approach taken by the members after the adjournment attempt was procedurally defect, as they did not have the authority to elect directors while a direc-tor (Brandon Maves) was still serving on the board,” wrote Hellmuth. Maves was removed later, but the vote was already invalidated, Hellmuth con-tends.

Gall disputed some of Hell-muth’s findings in a state-ment. “While it is encourag-ing that Jonathan’s counsel recognizes some formalities that were apparently disre-garded at the annual meeting, I expect that reasonable attor-neys will disagree on whether directors were elected,” he wrote.

Gall said that they conduct-ed nominations and elections outside to fill the three seats set to expire in 2012. “That is the very purpose of an annual meeting,” he wrote.

“Getting back to the big picture here, it is important to note that this entire incident further highlights the need for changes at Jonathan, including a more orderly and democratic process to determine who is and is not a member of the asso-ciation in the first place, which hasn’t even been resolved yet. We sincerely hope that new board leadership, whoever it ends up being, will make that a top priority,” Gall stated.

ing that the association re-notice and recall the annual meeting to properly fill the board vacancies. In a follow-up interview, Hellmuth said that action to reconvene the meeting would likely fall to the association’s management company, the Gassen Company, as there are no authorized board members to do so.

Book clubs introduce readers to new books, friends

The small group of six discusses details of the book: How it believes the World’s Fair changed America, the motives of a young doctor and murderer and the reality that truth is sometimes stranger than fi ction.

Some members peruse the paperback version while others utilize the technology of their e-readers. Two ladies armed with iPads research questions that arise.

The Literary Ladies Book Club operates in a casual structure with a playful tone that seems comfortable even though some ladies just met for the fi rst time. The book is the bridge; their love of literature fi lls any gaps.

Literary Ladies fi rst met in January and its book selection process is simple: Each month a member chooses a book in the genre of her choice and leads the discussion during the meeting.

The only rule: “Nothing too obscene,” said group founder Lisa Kvam of Burnsville.

Kvam visited litladies.com for discussion guides and googled “how to start a book club” when laying the foundation for the group.

“It helped to have a base of four people that were interested and would be there no matter what,” said Kvam. “I also talked to people of successful and unsuccessful book clubs to see how they operated.”

Literary Ladies member Briana Capra of Prior Lake likes that she’s getting involved with this book club at the beginning to see how it grows and evolves. She also likes the opportunity the book club gives her to meet new people.

“I like the selection process,” said Capra, who knits during the meeting. “It opens me up to some books I may not have selected on my own.”

The Burnhaven Library in Burnsville offers free space each month to the group, which meets from 6:30 to 8:15 p.m. the third Wednesday of the month. In March, the Literary Ladies will discuss “The Hunger Games,” “The Night Circus” in April and “The Tiger’s Wife” is the selection for May.

Literary Ladies is excited to welcome new members, Kvam said. Visit the group on Facebook (literaryladiesmn) or email at [email protected].

Mr. Chin

Carver-Scott Humane Society

I waited at impound but the past owners didn’t come for me. I’m quiet, friendly, and slightly dominant, getting along with most dogs, cats and kids over 4. I’m crate-trained and mostly house-trained. I enjoy petting, tummy rubs, playing fetch, tug-o-war and sitting in your lap. The vet thinks I was born in 2008. I’m a 10-pound poodle mix who wants to greet you at the door and follow you. Please come to meet me.

This abandoned pet is being housed by the Carver-Scott Humane Society and is avail-able for adoption. All pets have been vet checked, wormed, had shots updated, have a micro ID implanted, checked for friendly dispositions and neutered/spayed, if possible. The dona-tion starts at $165 for cats and $195 for dogs. If you can give it a home, call the Humane Society at (952) 368-3553.

PETS OF THE WEEK

Puff

Southwest Metro Animal Rescue

Puff is a domestic medium hair orange and white/Turkish van mix — a gorgeous, regal gal with a beautiful face and coat. Sadly, her owner fell very ill and could no longer care for her. She is just over 3 years old, born in December 2008, and will give you many years of love and companionship. She has a big personality and has been with other cats and kids. She has had a complete wellness exam, has been spayed, microchipped, tested negative for Feline Leu-kemia/FIV, and is updated on vaccinations. Her adoption fee is $150, which includes a free wellness exam within seven days of adoption. Won’t you con-sider giving her a second chance at a forever home?

victoria TOWN SQUARE

BY UNSIE ZUEGE

What will it take to keep downtown Victoria businesses busy and in the black during the upcoming Highway 5 road reconstruction project? Lawn signs, a loyalty pledge, a brand new customer points reward program, flash e-mails?

Fingers are crossed that all those offerings, as well as daily downtown events will lure resi-dents of Victoria and neighbor-ing cities to come, shop, and eat in Victoria this summer.

The reconstruction begins Memorial Day weekend, on Highway 5, from Highway 41 in Chanhassen west to Victoria to just past the city’s bridge near the Dairy Queen. Although a lane will be open for through traffic, during one six-week stretch, the entire road will be closed. Last week the Victoria Business Owners Association (VBOA) called a meeting for the city’s business owners and city staff to outline its strategy to keep downtown Victoria open and active.

Jim Crowley, a Victoria city councilor and former chair of the VBOA reacted to the plans.

“You’ve come a long way in 18 months,” Crowley said. He complimented the VBOA for getting ahead of the project.

The most effective kick in the pants for the business com-munity though came from

guest speaker John Tackaber-ry, a Delano business owner. Delano is undergoing a similar road construction challenge. He spoke to the Victoria Busi-ness Committee at its quarterly meeting several weeks ago.

Michelle Aspelin, a down-town business owner leading the marketing initiative, re-ported on Tackaberry’s suc-cinct advice.

“He said, ‘Tell people how to get to the Dairy Queen, how to get to Fresh Seasons, to the flo-rist, the dry cleaners,’” Aspelin said. “The key is volunteers. We need help to implement these things. We want everyone in the community to know that not a lot of time is involved, but

everyone needs to be involved.“We want to use the talents

and passion of our friends and neighbors to help us get through this,” Aspelin said. “We want them to Think Vic-toria. Get them to think ‘How might I need to step up to make sure our friends and neighbors remain in business?’ Encour-age everyone to buy it here first before going elsewhere or online.”

Another Tackaberry tip was to avoid using the word “closed” or “construction.” He stressed being positive, “Here’s how to get to the post office, to the salon.”

Aspelin outlined a “Think Victoria” sign campaign and a

gift card program.Ma rk P rond zi nski , t he

founder of StackPoints, a new consumer rewards program, described how it works. No longer will consumers have to keep track of all their lami-nated customer rewards cards

and keychains. Purchases at any participating business will be tracked by StackPoint.

StackPoint is rolling out the program with two Victoria businesses, Floyd’s and Fresh Seasons Market.

The VBOA, the city and

MnDOT will be at the annual Discover Victoria event Sat-urday, May 12, at the Victoria Recreation Center to update residents on construction, shopping access to downtown, a nd upcomi ng dow ntow n events.

KICKING IT UP A NOTCH

Who’s willing to step up to keep downtown open?

Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary is the newest duchess of Östergöt-land!

Her infant majesty was born on Feb. 23, 2012 in Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm. Her parents are Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel. Both mother and baby are do-ing great.

Estelle is a French name that has been in the Bernadotte family, but within the family she will be known as Stella. Her second name Silvia is from her maternal grandmother and Ewa is her paternal grand-mother. The media guesses that Mary is named after Crown Princess Mary of Denmark. In addition, the new duchess of Östergötland and Carver County have a connection as Carver County and the County of Ydre are sister counties and Ydre lies in Östergötland.

As many people are learn-ing, the most famous Swede of Carver County is Anders Pettersson or Andrew Peterson who came to the United States in the 1860s, and settled in what is now known as Rock Isle Farm. Andrew Peterson kept daily diaries that would later

be read by Swedish author, Wilhelm Moberg and inspire his novels, “The Immigrants.” It also spawned a movie, ‘The Immigrants’ and a musical, ‘Kristina från Duvemåla.’”

In recent years, four men from Östergötland have come to work on the old granary at Rock Isle Farm, and the county has hosted visitors from Östergötland twice. Carver County Commissioner Randy Maluchnik and his wife Suzette traveled to Östergötland for its ‘America Week’ celebration in Ydre and tour the countryside. Burton and Nancy Johnson, Arne and Marilyn Braun, Dave

and Doris Nelson of Fairfax, and a member of our Nordic Club have also traveled to Ydre.

ST. URHO’S DAY

On March 9, we will cel-ebrate Finnish American St. Urho’s Day. St. Urho’s was created in 1956 by Richard Mattson who worked at Ketola’s Department Store in Virginia, Minn. He founded St. Urho’s Day for Finnish Americans in answer to St. Patrick’s Day for Irish-Americans. St. Urho scared the grasshoppers from the vineyards by saying ‘grass-hoppers, ‘go away!’ So come, don the colors of royal purple representing grapes and lime green for the grasshoppers. “St. Urho” will appear at the Nordic Club along with some Finnish music and fun.

Although we have already entered the Lenten season, the club will be serving semlor, a Fat Tuesday bun. These are delicious buns with almond, and whipped crème.

We will also have our Lotteri during refreshments. Bring a white elephant item in good condition for the table, if you have one. We will be asking for

donations of $1 for each ticket for the drawing. This Lotteri is to help fund future program-ming.

This event is free to the pub-lic. Free will donations to the Nordic Heritage Club are tax deductible.

Our April meeting will be moved to Friday, April to en-able several of our members to attend the 40th anniversary cel-ebration banquet of the Swed-ish Council of America.

For any questions call Caro-lyn Spargo at (952) 443-3312. Ev-eryone is welcome, regardless of heritage! Families are wel-come to our club. The meetings are held on the second Friday of the month except in June, July and August. They begin at 7 p.m. at the Victoria City Hall, 7951 Rose Street. Visit the Nordic Heritage Club website at www.nordicheritageclub.com for additional information.

Carolyn Johnson Spargo lives on the border of Chaska and Victoria, and is active in all things Scandinavian including the Nordic Heritage Club. Her column appears monthly in the Victoria Town Square pages and online at www.chanvillager.com.

SPARGOALL THINGS NORDIC

Brunsfield America, an in-ternational development com-pany based in China, provided a brief overview of a rental townhome development, located at the 2500 Vogel Farm Road, off Church Lake Boulevard (Coun-ty Road 43), near the Rhapsody development.

The city originally planned a new public works building for the site, but the acreage, a little less than 5 acres, is too small for the city’s public works needs.

Vincent Lim of Brunsfield described the development as having 32 units ranging from studio-size to 3-bedrooms plus. A sketch plat was presented to the Planning Commission. The townhomes would be aimed at an upper-income market, not necessarily workforce housing, Lim said. The proposal reflects the current housing demand for people in the market for upper- income rental housing.

Councilor Kim Roden was concerned that a rental develop-ment could affect the property values for single family owned homes nearby and as well pos-sibly increasing the city’s public safety costs. She said she was also interested in how the neigh-bors would perceive a rental development. She wondered if a rental development was the best and highest use of the property.

Councilor Tom O’Connor said that his concern was that the development fit the design aesthetics of the community and blend in. Councilor Jim

Crowley pointed out that the de-veloper did come before the real estate committee last fall and recommended design changes.

City Administrator Don Uram described the challenges of the property as being in a high-traffic area right next to County Road 43, and that Rhapsody homeowners were aware that the city originally planned to build a public works building there, and that rental townhomes might be less dis-ruptive to neighbors.

City Planner Holly Kreft

Developer proposes upper-income rental townhomes

PHOTO BY UNSIE ZUEGEOn Monday, the Victoria City Council recognized and honored Victoria fi refi ghters Dean Adams and Tim Walsh for their service. Adams served for 22 years and Walsh for 25 years. Walsh also served as fi re chief from 2005-11.

reminded the council that Brunsfield was only at sketch plat stage, and that the meeting was to provide the developer with feedback. No decisions were needed at this stage from the council.

MAYOR’S TERM CHANGE

The city will look at chang-ing the mayor’s term from two years to four, matching the term lengths of council members. Benefits would be enhanced rela-tionships and partnerships with other entities and communities,

better continuity in city projects and initiatives, and that it would draw mayoral candidates with commitment to serve four years.

The first reading of the ordi-nance change for mayor will be March 12.

ADDITIONAL BUSINESS

The city administrator provided a positive report on the building inspector job share with the city of Minnetrista.

Daisy Scouts of Troop 15044 led the City Council in the Pledge of Allegiance at Monday’s meeting as part of the city’s outreach to commu-nity groups to participate in city meetings.

Council recognized Victo-ria fi refi ghters Dean Adams, 22 years of service, and Tim Walsh, 25 years of service. Walsh also served as fi re chief from 2005-11. Also approved hiring two new firefighters Ryan Rivers and Brady Lee, at $8.24 per hour, per call of duty.

Approved a public hear-ing for March 12, about spend-ing down the Build America Bond. The BAB was originally issued in 2009 to fund street reconstruction projects. There is a balance of $442,561 which the city will complete the 86th Street reconstruction (esti-mated at $257,463) and for Hwy 5 improvements (estimated at $217,309) outside the scope of the MnDOT project.

City still seeks volunteers for several city commissions and committees, including Park and Recreation, Senior Commission, and Planning Commission.

Holy Family Catholic High School seniors Brian Kubisiak and Jake Richelsen were re-cently named finalists in the 2011 National Merit Scholar-ship Program.

Both boys are heavily in-volved in the school’s FIRST Robotics competition team. Their work is wrapping up for state competition with 180 other high school teams.

They also have also re-cently advanced to Regionals with the school’s Knowledge Bowl Varsity team.

Brian and Jake are excited about the National Merit fi-nalist status and the poten-tial scholarship money that may accompany the award. They attribute much of their academic success to their col-lege prep experience at Holy Family including numerous Advanced Placement classes, both being named AP Scholars with Honor.

“Holy Family has given me the tools and resources to expand my knowledge and satisfy my ever growing intel-lectual curiosity” Brian said.

Both boys plan on pursuing degrees in engineering next year at college.

“I will be furthering my education in electrical en-gineering” said Brian, who hopes to study at California Institute of Technology or Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering.

Jake hasn’t decided yet what college he would like to attend, but he knows he would like to study engineering.

The 2011-2012 school year is the 57th year of the prestigious National Merit Scholarship program, which honors aca-demically talented high school seniors and recognizes many with National Merit Scholar-ship awards, worth more than $34 million.

To advance to National Merit Finalist, students must possess outstanding academ-ic record throughout high school, be endorsed and rec-ommended by the school prin-cipal, and earn SAT scores that confirm their earlier qualifying performance.

More than 1.5 million high school juniors in over 22,000 high schools nationwide en-tered the 2011-12 National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. This year’s semifinalists comprise less than one per-cent of all United States high school seniors and include en-trants with the highest scores in each state.

conditional approval of an in-terchange at Highway 212 and County Road 140.

Late last year, MnDOT gave conditional approval for the interchange. The move means that the city will spend the next year creating a master plan for the area and working on an amendment to Chaska’s com-prehensive plan that includes the interchange at County Road 140.

“They have approved the in-terchange,” said City Engineer Bill Monk, of MnDOT. “But they won’t formally approve it until a comp plan amendment is adopted by the council.”

CATALYST

City staff believes that the promise of an interchange could be just the incentive needed to get things moving again in the Heights of Chaska.

“We’d like to strike while the iron is hot to get all the pieces in place,” said Ringwald. “We need some of these changes for the bigger developments to happen.”

Originally, the Heights of Chaska plans called for a “New Urbanism” approach, with residential pockets surround-ing a neighborhood center with school, church and shops — similar to elements of Clo-ver Ridge. Up to 3,500 homes were planned at the optimistic height of the Heights. But then the housing market crashed and the development projects dried up.

“In today’s market, you’re not going to build to that 3,500 mark,” said Ringwald.

So not only would a master plan reflect fewer homes for the mega neighborhood, but the design would be revised to account for the interchange.

“The new interchange be-comes the center point of the whole area,” explained Monk, noting that it provides easier access to the Heights and the Biotech Center while alleviat-ing some of the potential pres-sure on the Engler Boulevard interchange.

An interchange at County Road 140 was not considered when the plan for the Heights of Chaska was first unveiled in 2001. At that time, the hope of Highway 212’s construction was a running joke for those who had been working toward making it happen for more than four decades.

“Ever y t hi ng ’s cha nged since then,” said Podhradsky.

COST

An interchange at County Road 140 would come with a price tag of $20 million to $30 million in infrastructure costs, Monk said. “This is a big deal all the way around,” he said.

Developers will likely bear the brunt of the costs in the form of assessments, but the city is prepared to move for-ward on the interchange even if developers are not yet ready to pull the trigger on their own projects.

“There are tools [for in-terchange funding] ,” said Podhradsky. “There are things

we can do to allow development to catch up. But it really has to be collaboration for it to work real well.

“There’s got to be a comfort level there with the city and the land owners,” he added.

DOWNTOWN

In addition to bringing new residents and jobs, the city is hopeful that development of this area will help stimulate the downtown. Podhradsky said that the recently com-pleted master plan for the downtown will play a part in shaping the master plan for southwest Chaska.

“This is one area of own to develop and achieve lots of goals,” said Podhradsky, of southwest Chaska.

“We want this to support and complement the downtown,” he said.

“Great care should be taken to design this to channel people downtown,” said Michael Bro-back, vice-chair of the Chaska Planning Commission. “The interchange is the most crucial aspect of the whole plan.”

“Putting that interchange there gives us a lot of value,” said Ringwald. “The impor-tance of that cannot be under-stated.”

The next steps will be to begin work on the master plan and the comp plan amendment. Ringwald expects each item to take four to six months.

In the meantime, the plan-ning commission will get its first look at that development application for the first piece of the Heights in March or April, Podhradsky said.

Wh e n C h a s k a and Chanhas-sen joined in a co-op in girls hockey in 2009

— the same year Chanhassen High School opened its doors — the plan was to split the two teams in the near future.

Three years into the co-op, producing an overall record of 49-32-1, district officials say a split is at least two more years down the road. Chaska Assistant Principal/Activities Director Troy Stein requested approval from the Missota Conference Athletic Directors in early February to continue with the merged program, but was denied by a 6-2 vote.

With Section 2AA approving the co-op by a 9-1 vote, Stein and Chanhassen Assistant Principal/Athletic Director Dick Ungar decided it was best to remain as one team for the 2012-13 season rather than split. The Minnesota State High School League has approved the co-op as an independent for next season.

“We don’t feel it is appropri-ate to make seventh and eighth graders skate varsity hockey at Chaska to field a varsity team. We feel this is not developmen-tally, emotionally or physically appropriate,” Stein said.

This season’s varsity and junior varsity rosters saw sev-en players from Chaska High School (four on varsity) and 25 from Chanhassen High School (14 on varsity). All seven play-ers are eligible to return next season for the Hawks. Still, at minimum a varsity team must field five defenseman, seven for-wards and a goaltender. Without injuries or illness, Chaska would be six skaters short.

Looking at the U14 program, only five of the 26 players on the two teams list their resi-dence as Chaska. Stein said the school could only “hope” the five players would enroll at the high school. Some could opt to open enroll to other neighbor-ing districts or even a private school such as Holy Family

Catholic or Blake School.“The numbers tell us how

many players they have and what city they live in. It’s hard to know what school they will go to as they enter ninth grade. The district has a 20 percent rate of open enrollment to other districts so there is no guaran-tee,” Stein said.

Even if all seven players return and the team adds five new players from the U14 pro-gram, it would still have to draw from seventh or eighth graders.

“Our goal is to split teams as soon as it is safely possible. We do not view pulling up current seventh grade girls that are not able to skate at a varsity level as appropriate, safe or fair for their development,” Stein said.

“When we split the boys hockey program last year, we did so because the youth num-bers we had dictated we could do that. Now at Chaska we’re looking at only fielding a varsity team the next three seasons. The girls program is worse than that situation,” Stein added.

Other programs in the Mis-sota Conference are forced based on available numbers to pull from middle school. Stein said it is a developed “culture” that he’s not sure will be suc-cessful in a metro-area school such as Chaska.

I f parents believe their daughter is being forced to play at a level they are not ready for, they may choose to send their kid to a different school. Or, more likely, the girl may quit the sport.

“This year there has been heightened scrutiny and aware-ness placed on injuries and safety in hockey statewide. In fact, in asking the Missota Con-ference to approve our co-op in January we expressed great concern over the prospect of using seventh and eighth grad-ers to field a varsity only roster. That is a concern we stand by for a number of reasons, but the main reason is physical safety,” Stein said. “It is one thing to have a seventh or eighth grader to play varsity hockey because that player is an exceptional athlete, and has the size and

I s a a c L o o s b r o c k we nt through the ups and downs most eighth grader does this wrestling season. The Chaska wrestler started the season among the top 10 ranked in Class AAA.

It was a learning experience for Loosbrock and in the end it all paid off as the Hawk wres-tler qualified for the state meet Saturday at Shakopee High School with a runner-up finish at 106 pounds.

Loosbrock will be joined at state his older brother, Ethan, as well as Trent Butcher and Chanhassen teammates Bren-den Olevson and Reid Johnson.

“It was a lot of fun,” said Chanhassen Head Coach Mike Schultz. “We had a lot of guys rise to the occasion. We had a lot of guys that were oh so close, too.”

Loosbrock had one of the toughest paths to state after falling 2-1 to Farmington’s Taylor Venz in the semifinals. Schultz and the rest of the Storm Hawks coaching staff told him to not give up.

“At that point you’re down in the dumps a bit. You don’t you have much of a chance to make state. But that’s the beauty of having true-second matches,” Schultz said.

He managed to win a pair of wrestleback bouts, includ-ing a 2-0 decision over close friend Christopher Timm of Eden Prairie, a former Chaska/Chanhassen Stallion in the third-place match.

With Venz upsetting the top seed in the finals, Loosbrock got a shot at state in a match with Lakeville North’s Collin DeGrammont — a wrestler that beat the Chaska eighth-grader 7-2 early in the season.

“Isaac was able to come back and dominate Collin. That shows a lot of heart,” said Schultz on the 8-1 state-clinching win.

Ethan Loosbrock made it 2-for-2 with a first-place finish at 145 pounds. The top-seeded wrestler in the bracket used a pair of late moves in his final two matches to claim the title.

Loosbrock defeated Ryan Norton of Prior Lake 4-1 in the semifinals before topping Lu-cas Westrich of Lakeville North 7-4 in the title match.

“He caught (both of) those guys at the end. You can’t ever stop wrestling. If you have a momentary lapse, a guy can get you. Ethan capitalizes on those situations and that’s what makes him such a tough wres-tler. When he feels a guy let up it’s like blood in the water with a shark,” Schultz said.

It is the first state tourna-

ment appearance for Loosbrock since his eighth-grade year. He was third at sections in both 2010 and 2011.

For Butcher, it is his second straight state meet after win-ning the 113-pound bracket a year ago over Prior Lake’s Sean O’Neill. Matched up with the Laker sophomore once again in the semifinal round Saturday, Butcher came out on top 5-4. The Chaska junior won by fall over O’Neill last year.

“Trent dominated in the sec-tion final last year, but we knew it wasn’t going to be an easy match. Trent is one of those wrestlers that comes up big in big matches,” Schultz said.

Butcher lost in the 120-pound title match to No. 4-ranked Ben Brancale of Eden Prairie 16-7.

In total, six wrestlers reached the medal stand for Chaska.

Senior Josh Blackowiak, seeded second at 170 pounds,

led his semifinal match over Tristyn Hanson of Prior Lake, but got rolled onto his back and pinned. He lost to Shakopee’s Jacob Glynn by fall in the third-place match.

Also placing were Justin Goeman (sixth) and Sam Chris-tianson (sixth). The Chaska

eighth grader was a surprise semifinalist after winning in the quarterfinal round with a third-period pin. He ended up dropping a pair of two-point losses to finish sixth overall at 126 pounds.

The Class AAA State Meet begins at 9 a.m. on Friday at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.

Just last week, both Chaska Assistant Principal/Activities Director Troy Stein and Chanhassen Assistant Principal/Athletic Director Dick Ungar met with six other administrators from metro-area schools to discuss the formation of a new conference.

A school release said, “It is our goal to fi nd a conference of schools which is comparable in size, athletic and activity programming, levels of competition and that is in close proximity. At this time, we are communicating with our key stakeholders, including our school board, coaching staff s, community members, student participants, and current Missota Conference schools.”

Regardless of these conversations, both Chaska and Chanhassen High Schools will remain members of the Missota Conference for the 2012-2013 school year.

“We appreciate being part of the Missota Conference. The conversations currently underway are to determine what is best for our schools, programs, and students. We will continue to communicate with our stakeholders, should these conversations continue,” the release said.

champion in 2003.Chaska was also Section

2AA champion in 2000 and 2001.

Red Wing Girls Hockey Head Coach Scott Haley has been one of the most outspoken confer-ence coaches on the issue. He even went as far to call out the co-op in a recent article in the Rochester Post Bulletin.

Despite losing nine varsity programs throughout the state in recent years due to dwin-dling numbers, Haley doesn’t buy the argument. It should be known that Haley has two daughters — Paige and Reagan — that return for next season.

skills to compete safely at a varsity level (although there are still concerns about emo-tional development). It is an en-tirely different matter asking an underdeveloped player to participate at the varsity level simply because we need a body on the ice. That is no better way to make sure our underdevel-oped player gets hurt or hurts someone else.”

Looking at the other Class AA schools in the conference, Farming ton had only one

eighth-grader on this year’s roster. Shakopee had five, while Holy Angels, which re-cently dropped down a class, had three.

In Class A, Red Wing had four middle school hockey players, while New Prague two and Northfield one. Of those four players on the Red Wing roster, one played six minutes all season in goal, while the other three skaters combined for six total points — only one, Caitie Turcotte, is

listed among the top two lines.For Chaska to fill out a team

independently, it would likely have to carry five to six seventh or eighth graders. The Hawks would not have the luxury of placing them on the third line — they would be thrust into the top two lines.

And unlike programs such as Red Wing that choose the top kids from those grades, Chaska would have to settle with just having bodies for uniforms. Forcing girls not ready for high school hockey to play at that level may discourage enroll-ment and lead to even bigger problems than the program al-ready faces, according to Stein.

Since joining the Missota Conference last season, the Storm Hawks have posted a 20-3-1 record in league play, including an 11-0-1 mark this season. The conference title was the program’s first since it was the Lake Conference

Connor Martin worried Feb. 23 at the Section 2A prelimi-nary round if the plan put in place for the Chaska senior was the right one.

Chaska Head Coach Matt Crees assured his captain they were taking the right path. On Saturday, Crees’ blueprint for success was proven as Martin qualified individually in two events and helped the opening relay also advance to the Class A State Meet.

Chaska, which f inished eighth overall with 177 points, will send three individual swims and a relay to the state meet.

“I’m just really glad we got a relay. Now everyone will get to be there,” said Chaska Head Coach Matt Crees. “We get four alternates so everybody will get a chance to come to state. I’m just really happy for them. I think we made the right decision in going to Class A. Guys that might not have had a chance to compete at state in double-A now will.”

After day one, Martin sat in fourth place in the 100-yard backstroke and eighth in the 100-yard freestyle. His time in the backstroke was well under the state qualifying standard, but that was not true in the freestyle.

Needing to shave almost an entire second off his pre-liminary time, Martin did just that, swimming a career-best 50.25 to place seventh and be among the eight section quali-fiers in the event.

A swimmer can reach the state meet by swimming under the state standard in the event

or by finishing in the top two.“I’ve been with the program

for three years now and every year I’ve watched how close Connor came to making the state meet but being denied each time. He finally figured it out. He put in the extra effort it takes,” Crees said. “Before this season I don’t think he was be-low 55 seconds in the 100 free.

He was consistently swimming 51s during the season. His times have been unreal.

Martin was runner-up in the backstroke event to Breck’s Mitchell Foster, the three-time state champion. His time of 54.82 was a season-best effort.

Also reaching the state meet individually was freshman Sean Donnelly, who finished

fifth in the 100-yard breast-stroke, hitting the wall at 1:04.20 — more than a second under the state cut.

Donnelly and Martin swam the opening legs of the 200 medley relay before handing it off to Jonathan Andrys and sophomore Aaron Wuflestad, who combined for a fifth-place time of 1:44.56. The finals swim

was more than two seconds faster than the team’s prelimi-nary attempt.

Also finishing in the top 16 for Chaska were Donnelly in the 50 freestyle (seventh, 22.94); Wuflestad in the 100 breaststroke (11th, 1:11.67) and 200 individual medley (14th, 2:18.75); and Peter Augdahl in the 500 freestyle (sixth, 5:16.97) and 200 freestyle (10th, 1:58.15).

The 200-yard freestyle relay featuring Nathan Hewitt, Mar-tin, Donnelly and Wuflestad was also sixth at 1:34.40 — less than a half-second off the state cut.

In diving, Hawks freshman Jason Nibbe sat in fourth place following the semifinal round on Feb. 23. The top four divers qualify for state. Nibbe eventu-ally placed ninth with a score of 241.05.

Teammates Luke Starr (210.40) and Tyler Allen (182.05) finished in 10th and 14th places.

Breck /Bla ke ra n away with the section title with 455 points. Richfield (260), Spring Lake Park (244.5) and Benilde-St. Margaret (237) rounded out the top four teams.

The Class A State Meet pre-liminaries are at noon Friday at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center.

Chaska is seeded 18th in the medley relay, while Martin is 24th in the 100 freestyle and third in the 100 backstroke be-hind Foster and Hutchinson’s Cole Bateman, the two-time state runner-up in the event.

Donnelly is also seeded 25th in the breaststroke event.

The top 16 individuals and relays advance to the finals at noon Saturday.

“I’m excited to see what these guys can do. Sean and Connor weren’t tapered or shaved for sections, so hopeful-ly they can go lower. They’ve worked really hard all season. They were tired, but they man-aged to get it done,” Crees said.

Erin Schindler calmly sank two free throws with 17.1 sec-onds left in regulation to push Chaska’s lead to three at 57-54. It was the biggest points of the season for the Hawks fresh-man, who had just 36 total points coming off the bench in a reserve role this season.

Smiles were on the faces of the Chaska bench. They could feel victory within their grasp.

Morgan Iverson, though, had other plans. The Waconia junior hit a 3-pointer from the top of the circle to force over-time as the Wildcats went on to beat the Hawks 72-67 in the extra session to move on in the Section 6AAA playoffs.

The loss snapped a five-game win streak for fifth-seeded Chaska, which fell 76-52 in a Jan. 28 meeting. The Hawks concluded the 2011-12 campaign with a 12-15 record.

Chaska, which trailed by as many as 10 points in the second half, got a spark from junior guard Hannah Rohe. A pair of free throws from Rohe gave the Hawks its first lead since 16-15 at 46-44. Including the overtime session, Rohe scored 19 of her game-high 23

in the second half.The lead increased to five

with three minutes to play, but the Wildcats were patient and trailing three with 17 seconds left got the shot they wanted. Coming off a ball screen, Iver-son got loose and hit the wide open 3-pointer to send the game into overtime.

Chaska jumped out to a 63-59 advantage on baskets from Rohe, Ellie Thompson and Si-erra Leggett, but Waconia came right back for the 65-63 lead.

Laura Schmitt, who led all scorers with 24 points, hit a key outside shot with 43.6 sec-onds to play that gave Waconia its largest lead of the overtime session at 68-64.

Rohe returned the favor with her third 3-pointer of the game, but a pair of free throws from Schmitt followed by a turnover on the next Chaska possession gave Waconia the five-point lead after two more foul shots were converted.

Waconia’s Lauren Dead-rick, a Division II recruit, scored 10 of her 16 points dur-ing the final 22 minutes. Post Stephanie Dressen was also in double figures with 10 points for the Wildcats.

Thompson added 16 points in the paint for the Hawks,

while Page Stanberry also had 10.

It was Stanberry that kept Chaska in the game early when shots weren’t falling. Down 12-6, two straight inside baskets from the sophomore forward and a jumper from Ni-cole Parson evened the game.

With Thompson on the bench with two fouls and Kendall Baab out with an ankle injury, Stanberry scored nine of her 10 points in the first half. Baab, the fourth-leading scorer for the Hawks at seven points a game, was hurt in pre-game warm-ups.

Fourth-seeded Waconia led 24-20 at halftime.

Already knowing their playoff fate, Chaska concluded the regular season with a 50-48 buzzer-beater win over Holy Angels Friday at home.

The Hawks finished the Missota Conference schedule with a third-place finish at 9-5.

Thompson continued her dominance in the paint for Chaska, netting a game-high 22 points in the win. The Hawks won with a basket with one second remaining on the clock, breaking a 48-all tie.

Rohe added nine points, while Lauren Sundby chipped in eight points for Chaska.

Rebekah Dahlman, who earlier this season went over the 3,000-point mark for her ca-reer, scored 42 as Class 2A No. 3-ranked Braham topped Holy Family Catholic 75-57 Feb. 23.

The Bombers led 37-20 at halftime.

Dahlman was 12-for-12 from the free-throw line and added four 3-pointers.

Michaela Rasmussen scored a career-high 24 points for the Fire, who finished the regular season with an 18-7 record. Hannah Schonhardt was also in double figures with 15, while Emily Bauer had eight.

Holy Family Catholic won its playoff opener 67-29 Tues-day over Mound-Westonka. No individual statistics were available.

FIRE SHUTOUT IN 6AA

The Benilde-St. Margaret hockey team sat in the locker room at the St. Louis Park Recreation Center Feb. 23, pre-paring for a quarterfinal clash with Holy Family Catholic.

And while the Red Knights got four goals from Grant Besse and beat the Fire 7-0 in the Section 6AA, the biggest story of the evening was the return of Jack Jablonski to the arena — his first trip back since the accident in late December.

Maybe it was Jablonski’s return, but whatever it was, B-SM came out flying in the first period, scoring four goals in the opening 13:29.

Besse, who had 40 goals and 75 points in the regular season, made it 3-0 with a pair of netters

less than eight minutes apart. Dan Labosky and TJ Moore also scored in the stanza.

Besse added two more tal-lies in the second period, while Jake Horton finished off the scoring with a power-play goal in the third period. Besse completed the game with four goals and two assists.

Holy Family had 12 shots in the opening period, but had only 10 in the final two in be-ing outshot 38-22 for the game. The Fire were 0-for-5 on the power play.

Nick Schreiter made 31 saves in the loss for Holy Fam-ily, which concluded the sea-son with an 18-8 record.

SEASON WINDS DOWN

Down eight points at half-time, host Holy Family Catholic never gave up, outscoring Wa-conia 33-30 in the second half, but still falling 65-60 on Friday.

The Fire got a career-high 26 points from Jake Dryer in the loss. Joe Traxler also had 13 points for Holy Family.

Alex Schmitt was the lead-ing scorer for the Wildcats with 21 points.

Eighth-ranked Watertown-Mayer jumped out to a 17-point lead at halftime and pushed the advantage over 30 in a 77-48 win over Holy Family Catholic Tuesday.

The game, originally sched-uled to be played in Victoria, was moved to Watertown with the Fire girls basketball team hosting a Section 6AAA play-off game.

Nate Kratch led all scorers with 24 points for the Royals, who are 23-2 on the season.

Dryer was the top scorer for Holy Family (1-22) with 10 points. Traxler also had eight, while post Justin Dahl added six.

“It’s less a function of teams dwindling. I think it’s a func-tion of teams wanting to be competitive. I do feel that Chas-ka and Chanhassen do have the numbers to field separate teams, but they like the idea of winning championships, you know? That’s the case with a lot of these co-ops,” he said to the Rochester Post Bulletin.

The Minnesota State High School League lists Chaska/Chanhassen High Schools with a combined enrollment of 2,425. Stein said the number is more around 1,050 for just Chaska. Factor in that the school offers

dance, alpine skiing and Nordic skiing — sports schools such as Red Wing do not offer — spreads out the ability to draw in more student-athletes in hockey.

Stein said the program has been actively promoting partic-ipation, including having the head coach meet with students at the middle schools, high school youth camps, recruiting meetings at freshman orienta-tion and lunches at the middle school as well as development and promotion in the youth associations.

There is also talk to pro-mote the sport with the city of Chaska for a “Hockey Day” in the community for next year.

“It is important to note that our goal is to field separate girls

hockey teams at Chaska and Chanhassen High Schools. To that end, we have developed a plan in conjunction with the youth association to increase our participation numbers go-ing forward. As previously out-lined in our report submitted to the MSHSL, a plan entails a commitment that no 10th, 11th, or 12th graders will be cut from the high school program. At the ninth grade level we will ask players who do not play for the high school team to continue in the U14 program, as we have done the past three years, know-ing that our low numbers will support their participation at the high school level the follow-ing year,” Stein said.

With the MSHSL approv-

ing the independent co-op for the 2012-13 season, Stein has been busy at work developing the schedule. Missota teams Farmington and Shakopee have agreed to a home-and-home series. Lake Conference teams Minnetonka, Wayzata, Eden Prairie and Edina also will play the Storm Hawks.

This month the Missota Conference will also have to decide on the fate of a future pairing between Holy Angels and Richfield. After folding the varsity program before the season, Richfield was allowed to send its one senior to play with Holy Angels this season.

Stein said AHA officials said next year Richfield would add seven players to its program.

“We’ll be supporting it,” said Stein on Chaska and Chanhas-sen’s position. “It helps Holy Angels’ program and at the same time it allows seven girls an op-portunity to play that wouldn’t be able to without the co-op.”

TWO SWIM PROGRAMS, TWO COACHES

The only other co-oped pro-gram between Chaska and Chanhassen that wil l see changes next school year is girls swimming and diving. The two teams have been split the past two seasons, but have shared the same varsity coach and practice time.

Kristen Nicholson will con-tinue to lead the Chanhassen team. Stein said he is in the

process of accepting and re-viewing applications for the open position.

Both Stein and Ungar hoped for wrestling to split as well for the 2012-13 season, but low participation at both schools has that thought on hold. The team will likely continue to wrestle together during the regular season, be ineligible for the conference title and split for the Section 2AAA Meet.

Gymnastics, boys swimming and diving and lacrosse has no changes planned for next school year. Stein did allude to the fact that depending on numbers this spring, lacrosse could split in the near future.

“We’re close with that one,” he said.

Michael Roane missed hear-ing forward-one-and-a-half somersault-tuck position. Hav-ing played hockey his first two years at Holy Family Catholic High School, he wanted to get back in the pool.

After taking two years off, Roane returned to the diving board and qualified for the state meet in 2011. This sea-son, despite a knee injury, the Fire senior made it 2-for-2 in qualifying for his second trip to the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center.

Roane, who swims under the Watertown-Mayer/Waconia/Delano name, was runner-up at the Section 6AA Meet Saturday in Edina.

“It was a little less stressful last year because I could always say there’s next year, but this year I couldn’t say that since it’s my last year. I made it again, so I’m really excited about that,” Roane said. “Things just start-ed to fall into place recently. Things are coming back to me and I’m feeling a lot stronger.”

T he Holy Fami ly diver missed much of January with torn meniscus in a knee. He returned just in time to sign a Division I Letter of Intent to play football at Drake Univer-sity and then was runner-up at the Wright County Conference Meet.

Two weeks later, it was time for the Section 6AA Meet.

“It was tough just getting back into it. I missed a month there. I’ve been back for two weeks now. That hurt me a little bit because I couldn’t do anything. It’s starting to come back to me now,” he said.

Roane sat in second place

after eight dives in Section 6AA with a score of 275.40. Three dives later he remained in the same spot with an 11-dive score of 362.70.

The only diver ahead of him was teammate Dustin Gens of Watertown-Mayer at 397.0.

“I t hi n k we bot h push each other to do better. We’re friends, but we also want to beat each other because we’re both competitive guys. It’s fun to try to beat him. He’s a great diver,” said Roane on Gens.

Despite coming from differ-ent schools, Roane, the lone participant from Holy Family, said it’s been a great experience swimming under the Royals’ name.

“It’s a lot different, but I’m really close with my diving team. I’m with them at practice every day. We hang out outside of practice, too. We get pretty close during the season. It’s ob-viously different than football

because we don’t go to school together. But we get through it,” Roane said. “It’s for sure weird being called the Roy-als instead of the Fire. That’s something I’ve gotten used to. At first it was a bit of shock not being part of the Holy Family Fire, it’s the Watertown-Mayer Royals.”

Roane was in position to medal through five dives last year at the Class AA State Meet. Two of his next three dives, though, were off the mark, dropping him to 17th. He missed out on diving on the fi-nal day by one-tenth of a point.

Coming into the week, Roane believes he is seeded sixth over-all. Of the top-16 finalists last year, nine were seniors. His goals include bringing home a state medal.

“It’s a cool experience. For me, I do well under pressure. With football and stuff you have to play well under pres-

sure,” said Roane, who will be making his fifth state ap-pearance between diving and football. “I love it there (the U of M Aquatic Center). It’s such a cool place with all of the fans and being around all the great divers. It’s cool to see how you compare to one another.”

It’s been a long road for Roane — one that started 10 years ago — that comes to a close this week.

“My mom signed me up when I was 8-years-old because I was always flipping and stuff and always running around. She thought it would be fun for me. I’ve been doing it every summer since then. I dove for two years in seventh and eighth grade at Chaska, but took two years off to play hockey and then I came back. I just love the sport. It’s been so much fun,” he said.

The diving preliminaries are at 6 p.m. tonight with the finals for the top 16 on Saturday night.

Dana Kallman felt three straight wins to close out the regular season would mean a home game for his Chaska boys basketball team.

Having lost two of those three games, including a 55-41 defeat to section foe Holy An-gels Feb. 24, which has won five consecutive games, the Hawks may be on the outside looking in for a top-four seeding.

The Stars outscored Chaska 35-24 in the second half to pull away for the victory. Holy Angels is now in second place in the Missota Conference at 8-4, having won all five games through the second loop of the league schedule.

Chaska, meanwhile, has lost four of its last six games to fall to 13-12 overall. The Hawks do have section wins over Holy

Angels and Blake School — the two teams in the hunt along with them for the third and fourth spots in Section 6AAA behind Benilde-St. Margaret and Minneapolis Washburn.

Seedings were to be an-nounced late this week. Check out Scoreboard.MN to see how the seedings panned out.

Matthew Knowles and Eric West were both in double figures with 14 and 12 points, respective-ly, in the Hawks’ loss. No other player had more than five points.

Jordan Dembley led all scor-ers with 18 points.

Chaska has one remaining game at Northfield at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

TRAVELING IN 2A-NORTH

In games decided by four points or less, Southwest Chris-tian started the season with a 4-1 record. Suddenly, though, the Stars have struggled to hit

that last shot.SW Christian lost for the

sixth time in seven games and third time in four two-posses-sion games in a 49-48 defeat to New Life Academy Feb. 23.

Brian Horner scored 21 points for the Stars, which outscored the Eagles 28-26 in the second half. Luke Johan-son also added 12 points, while Mitchell Petersen and Matthew Eidem each had six.

A game with PACT Charter for ninth place in the MCAA Tournament was played Satur-day, but no score was available.

Other conference tourna-ment games were Maranatha Christian Academy over Trin-ity of River Ridge 78-58 for first place; West Lutheran defeated Lester Prairie/Holy Trinity 75-60 for third place; Heritage Christian topped New Life Academy 74-62 in the fifth-place game; and Legacy Chris-

tian over Bethany Academy 60-58 for seventh place.

SW Christian travels to Buf-falo Lake-Hector-Stewart for the Section 2A-North playoff opener at 7 p.m. tonight. The winner advances to the sub-sec-tion quarterfinals on Tuesday.

HOME GAME IN SECTION 4A

Southwest Christian earned the No. 6 seed in Section 4A and will host at least one playoff game tonight at 8 p.m. at Trini-ty Lutheran School in Waconia.

The Stars face No. 11 Calvin Christian in the second round of Section 4A tonight. SW Christian (15-11) beat Calvin Christian 45-23 in the season opener Nov. 29.

The Cougars have a record of 14-6.

The winner will likely play at Prairie Seeds Academy (15-11) on Saturday in the quarter-final round.

Motion carried unanimously.Gary Bork, Community Social

Services, requested approval to hire temporary staff to implement electronic medical records. He in-dicated they would transfer funds within the department to fund this. He pointed out the requirement to have all medical records electronic by 2014 and they have purchased the system to allow them to do this. Bork stated they have decreased staff over the last two budget cycles and while they are able to handle the day to day operations, they do not have staff to handle this project.

Maluchnik moved, Degler sec-onded, to authorize the Social Ser-vices Division to hire or contract for temporary staff to scan behavioral health medical records. Motion carried unanimously.

Bill Weckman, Public Works, requested the Board approve an agreement for right of way nego-tiations for the CSAH 11 roadway project. In order to do the project, he stated they needed to acquire property and easement rights from 14 different property owners. He indicated acquisition of these properties is complicated, would be a very time consuming process and they have elected to negotiate a contract with Dan Wilson to do the negotiations.

Workman clarifi ed he would be abstaining as he had relatives living along the corridor.

Degler moved, Lynch seconded, to authorize the Chair and Admin-istrator to sign the professional services agreement with Wilson Development Services contingent on approval of the County Attor-ney and Risk Management. Degler, Ische, Lynch, Maluchnik voted aye. Workman abstained. Motion carried.

Weckman requested the Board adopt an eminent domain Resolu-tion for construction of CSAH 11 from CSAH 61 to CSAH 10. He stated offers for right of way have been sent out and they are trying to get the project on track to start con-struction this spring. He indicated they needed to be assured access to the properties and they were ask-ing for approval to have the County Attorney to begin putting together the papers for acquisition of the property. Weckman stressed they will continue to negotiate with the property owners and have as many negotiated settlements as they can. He clarified the project included three million in federal funds and reviewed the timelines they must follow.

Workman clarified he would again be abstaining.

Maluchnik offered the following Resolution, seconded by Degler:

Resolution # 14-12Eminent Domain – SP 10-611-06On vote taken, Degler, Ische,

Lynch, Maluchnik voted aye. Work-man abstained.

Martin Walsh, Parks, requested approval to authorize bids for phase II of the Dakota Rail Regional Trail. He stated phase 1 was completed last year and phase II was 5 ½ miles extending from Mayer further to the West.

He pointed out federal funding that was received and the projected costs of the project. He reviewed possible funding sources to cover the cost above the identifi ed funding and ways they would be looking to bring the project costs down. He pointed out the favorable bid cli-mate to move the project forward. Walsh noted the bids would be brought back to the Board and the Board could chose to reject them.

Degler moved, Lynch seconded, to authorize Phase II of the Da-kota Trail Regional Trail to be advertised for bid. Motion carried unanimously.

Degler moved, Maluchnik sec-onded, to go into closed session at 9:40 a.m. according to Minnesota Statutes Section 13D.05 in order to discuss confi dential appraisal data for property located at 809 Old Beach Lane. Motion carried unani-mously.

One generation ago, in 1957, Maynard and Marian Brinkman purchased a farm in Young America. The barn was built in 1914. The date is inscribed on the cupola and appears in several locations around the hayloft. It was built for milking cows and continued in this use for nearly 100 years.

In 199 0, Dan Brinkman bought the building site from his parents and the remainder of the cropland in 2001. Lori joined the Brinkman clan when she and Dan married in Octo-ber 2000.

After a long history in the registered Holstein industry in Carver County, plus state and national levels, the Brink-mans sold the dairy operation one year ago. But it remains a family farm. In 2009, Lori initi-ated the farm’s transition from dairy cows to raising pigs.

Lori applied for and received a sustainability grant from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture to raise farrow-ing sows. The Brinkman farm is the main pork supplier for Terra Waconia, and provides pork shoulder to Zella’s in Hutchinson. The farm sells hogs to Green Ox Meat Com-pany, which places the meat on menus at Kieran’s Irish Pub, the Local, the Liffey and Coo-per Irish Pub. In 2011, Lori and Dan, with Terra Waconia’s chef Craig Sharp, participated in the Minnesota Cooks program at the State Fair.

But back to the barn quilt square on their barn.

Dan’s grandmother Mar-ian made a quilt the year she and Maynard were married. Though the quilt was quite plain and mainly black, it has had a special place in the Brinkman family. Marian passed in July 2007.

Lori’s grandmother Alice was a long time quilter and lives in an assisted living facil-ity. She just had heart surgery earlier this month at the spry age of 95 years. She is doing well in her recovery.

W hen Dan and Lori de -cided to participate in the Barn Quilts of Carver County art project, they discussed their choice. They agree that Grandma Marian might today consider more color and select a crazy quilt block pattern. Tra-ditionally, most quilt patterns are based on geometric shapes but crazy quilts are created

with irregular pieces of fabric is varying patterns and bright colors.

“While we think Marian would certainly like the quilt, the reason we chose the pat-tern is simply because it was so unique,” said Lori Brink-man. “It felt right with the changes we were making at our farm and I felt it would be something we could truly call our own. Our daughters helped design the quilt and it’s something they are very proud of. Some people hang their kids’ artwork on the walls of their home. We’re lucky to be able to hang it on

our barn.Dan and Lori are happy to

continue operating their fam-ily farm. They are also happy to be participants in the Barn Quilt project, seeing it not only as a connection to the history of Carver County, but as “a stepping stone to connect the urban nature of Carver County with the ever changing face of agriculture.”

The Barn Quilts of Carver County project is supported by the Chaska Quilt Club and coordinated by Naomi Rus-sell and Suzanne Thiesfeld. Barb Hone is an arts enthusi-ast, piano teacher, and charter

At 2 p.m. every Sunday this month, there is music at the Chanhassen Library, as part of the “Music in March” series.

Sunday, March 4, Kathy and Leo Lara perform music of the Andes.

Leo is a native of Ecuador, and Kathy is a Minnesota girl. Together they play the varied wind, string and percussion instruments handed down over the generations in the Andes Mountains. They set their mu-sic in historical and cultural context, and tell of the indig-enous, European and African influences on their style.

Leo and Kathy have per-formed in folk festivals, concert halls, schools, conferences, churches, libraries, museums, and on radio and television. As co-founders of the Minne-sota New Song Committee, they worked to disseminate music and bring Latin American musicians to Midwest states and to encourage identity and a sense of community for Latin Americans living in Minnesota funded with money from Min-nesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

CHANHASSEN LIBRARY

Authors Ruth Tremblay and Lois Schulstad will be speaking at 1 p.m., Saturday, March 3 at the Chanhas-sen Library about their work creat-ing the book Carv-er County, part of the “Images of America” series.

T he book is a col lection of historic photos, and they wi l l share a film of their work put-ting the book together. They will have cop-ies of the book available for sale.

The Thrift Club is sched-uled to meet on March 10 from 10:30 a.m. to noon at the Chanhassen Library. The main topic for this meeting will be repurposing. This is defined as giving a new purpose or use to something, for example, placing kitchen utensils in a

pottery pitcher. Those plan-ning to attend are encouraged to bring an item they are using in a different way than it was originally intended.

Chanhassen artist Barbara Cobb will have her unique mixed media works on display for the month of March at the Chanhassen Library.

The next Great Decisions Discussion is 1 p.m., Saturday, March 31 on the topic of “En-ergy Geopolitics.”

The energy markets have been shaken by the instabil-ity of Middle East oil and the vulnerability of nuclear power. Moreover, developing countries like China are becoming big-ger energy consumers, while energy producers like Russia see the opportunity to widen their influence. In this changed landscape, how will the U.S.’s energy needs affect its rela-tions with other nations?

The speaker is Todd Lefko, president of International Business Development Coun-cil, an import-export firm, with homes in Minnesota and Moscow, Russia. His weekly articles appear in Rossiske Vesti, a Russian political news-paper.

Lef ko has taught urban affairs and sociology at the University of Minnesota, and political science, international relations, political philosophy and public administration at other Minnesota colleges.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Chanhassen Library.

REVIEWS

“V is for Vengeance,” by Sue Grafton

All the various urges for vengeance are in this tale — one man’s wife is killed and he goes after her killer in a rage; another woman has a son who was murdered and she forgives. A son discovers his mother was murdered by his father years before. He had been told she left the family.

The story begins with P.I. Kinsey Millhone observing a shoplifter and reporting her, which leads to her arrest. A few days later she is dead, an appar-ent suicide, jumping off a 400-foot high bridge into a ravine. Her fiancé is convinced she would not have killed herself.

Kinsey goes back and re-searches the woman and dis-covers connections to a huge organized shoplifting ring. This is one of Grafton’s best to date.

“Break Down,” by Sara Paretsky

Some preteen girls in a book club, having escaped parental supervision, are dancing and singing in a made up ceremony in an abandoned Chicago cem-etery on a bleak and rainy night when one of the girls stumbles across a corpse.

Private investigator V.I. (Vic) Warshawski is there, tracking them down, as a fa-vor to her niece Petra, who is a mentor to the book club the girls belong to.

Vic gets the girls out of the cemetery before the police ar-rive, and discovers that two of the girls have very impor-tant connections: one girl’s mother is running for office, and another girl is the grand-daughter of a wealthy Chicago philanthropist.

A local powerful muck-rak-ing conservative TV commen-tator has discovered the girls were there and is hounding them and the foundation con-nected with the book clubs, so Vic continues to investigate.

The murder victim is a P.I. as well, but who was he working for? How is this all connected with a man incarcerated for a murder years before in the Ruhetal Hospital for the crimi-nally insane?

A complicated plot, intrigu-ing characters, and timely situations that might have jumped from today’s headlines all make this one of Paretsky’s best to date.

“Death Comes to Pember-ley,” by P.D. James

Yes, mystery author P.D. James has written a mys-tery featuring Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, the Bingleys, Mr. Bennet — the whole cast of characters from “Pride and Prejudice.”

I will not give away much of the unusual story, except to say that that ne’er do well Wickham and his flighty wife Lydia are featured. James has done an excellent job of capturing the era and the people from Aus-ten’s world.

Kathy Perschmann is a Chas-ka resident and assistant branch manager of the Chanhassen Library. She can be reached at [email protected].
